A Stuydy on the Hypochlorination Reaction for Improvement of Epichlorohlydrin Production Process : Reduction of Side Reacion

기존의 Epichlorohydrin의 생산 공정을 개선하기 위해 중간 생성물인 dichlorohydrin생성 반응인 Hypochlorination 반응에 대한 실험을 통해 개선방안을 조사하였다. 첫 번째로 이 반응에서 사용되고 있는 공업용수를 PVC 공장 으로부터 방출된 폐수를 재활용하여 사용하였을 경우 반응 수율에 미치는 영향에 대해 실험하였고 실제적인 반응 생성물 조성에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 부반응물 중 거의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 TCPA를 정제공정 이전에 "추출제 A"를 사용하여 제거할 수 있다. 이를 이용하여 TCPA에 의한 부가적인 부반응을 억제하고 후단의 정제공정에서 분리하는데 소요되는 에너지를 절감할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 Allyl chloride와 반응하는 염소기체의 양을 감소시키면서 생성물의 조성변화를 관찰하였다. 주반응 생성물의 수율에 는 거의 영향을 미치지 않으면서 부반응물의 비율이 다소 감소하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다

Study of Developing Simulation Package for Cleaner Production Assessment : Case Study for ECH Process

In order to implement clean technology to Petro-chemical process, simulation package of given process should exist. In this paper, reaction and recycling parts of a process are explained using EA process and MEK process respectively so as to explain how to make simulation package. Based on simulation package, several options are generated and feasibility tests are performed

A study on the Hypohlorination Reaction for improvement of Epichlorohydrin Production Process: Reduction of Side Reaction

The methods for improving Epichlorohydrin process was investigated by carrying out experiments on hypochlorination reaction, from which dichlorohydrin is produced by reacting with allyl chloride and chlorine. As the recycle water from PVC plant was used instead of industrial water for reaction, the effect of recycle water on the reaction yield was studied. It was shown from this experiment that the recycle water rarely affected on the ratio between products. TCPA, which was almost of byproducts, could be removed before purification process using "extractant A". This could prevent additional side reaction by TCPA and reduced energy to separate it in purification part. The change of product yield was observed as the chlorine gas addition decreases which reacted with allyl chloride. It seems that the yield of major products didnt change almolt, but the byproducts showed rather reduced trend with decreasing chloring gas

Polygenic risk score validation using Korean genomes of 265 early-onset acute myocardial infarction patients and 636 healthy controls

Background The polygenic risk score (PRS) developed for coronary artery disease (CAD) is known to be effective for classifying patients with CAD and predicting subsequent events. However, the PRS was developed mainly based on the analysis of Caucasian genomes and has not been validated for East Asians. We aimed to evaluate the PRS in the genomes of Korean early-onset AMI patients (n = 265, age <= 50 years) following PCI and controls (n = 636) to examine whether the PRS improves risk prediction beyond conventional risk factors. Results The odds ratio of the PRS was 1.83 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.69-1.99) for early-onset AMI patients compared with the controls. For the classification of patients, the area under the curve (AUC) for the combined model with the six conventional risk factors (diabetes mellitus, family history of CAD, hypertension, body mass index, hypercholesterolemia, and current smoking) and PRS was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.90-0.94) while that for the six conventional risk factors was 0.91 (95% CI: 0.85-0.93). Although the AUC for PRS alone was 0.65 (95% CI: 0.61-0.69), adding the PRS to the six conventional risk factors significantly improved the accuracy of the prediction model (P = 0.015). Patients with the upper 50% of PRS showed a higher frequency of repeat revascularization (hazard ratio = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.47-3.26) than the others. Conclusions The PRS using 265 early-onset AMI genomes showed improvement in the identification of patients in the Korean population and showed potential for genomic screening in early life to complement conventional risk prediction
