Abstract: Coal-gasification wastewater is an industrial toxic wastewater with high concentration of phenols. To provide process parameters for industrial practice, simulation and optimization were carried out on the phenol removal process for coal-gasification wastewater which included phenol extraction, solvent distillation and residual solvent stripping. Calculation results showed that the optimized process parameters were as the following. When solvent ratio was 1:6, after four-stage extraction by methyl isobutyl ketone, the concentration of phenols in the wastewater can be reduced to below 200mg/L from 5000mg/L. While in the solvent distillation column, to make the solvent recycling usable and cut down solvent consumption, the column stages was recommended as 15, reflux ratio R as 0.1360, and feed stage as 10. Moreover, to recover the residual solvent in the wastewater, the number of theoretical stages for the stripper was proposed as 5, and distillate rate as 2388kg/hr.

Abstract: A facile method for the synthesis of N-{2-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl} adamantane-1-carboxamide(Adatanserin) was developed by using 2-chloropyrimidine and adamantanecarbonyl chloride as the starting material via amidation and N-alkylation, using convergent route to reduce workups and steps in a good yield. The structures of compounds were confirmed by IR spectral, 1HNMR and elemental analyses.

Abstract: A new tertiary amine derivative of adamantane —N,N,N’,N’-tetramethyl-1, 3-disaminomethyl adamantane dihydrochloride (1), which is a key intermediate for preparing Gemini surfactants and bola surfactants, has been synthesized in this paper. The target compound (1) can be synthesized in high yield by using 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid as raw material. The structure of these compounds has been identified.

Abstract: To develop the potential use of adamantane derivatives in surfactant field, the adamantyl residue was introduced into the quaternary ammonium salt. The method involved synthesizing N-(1-adamantyl)-N, N-dimethylamine from 1-adamantine and quaternizing with different alkylating agents. Eight adamantane-containing quaternary ammonium salts were prepared and their structures were identified by ¹H NMR and IR.

Abstract: Al-containing mesoporous molecular sieves(Al-MCM-41) were synthesized at ambient temperature. The structures of samples were characterized by XRD, N₂-adsorption/desorption isotherms and FT-IR, etc. The evaluation results showed that Al-MCM-41 had higher catalytic activity for isomerization conversion of endo-tetrahydrodicyclo-pentadiene (endo-TCD) into exo-tetrahydrodicyclo-pentadiene (exo-TCD) and adamantane (AdH). Loading inorganic acid on the surface of Al-MCM-41 led increase of its catalytic activity and the yield of adamantane.

Abstract: 3-amino-1-adamantanemethanol was synthesized from adamantane carboxylic acid following the procedures of Ritter reaction, hydrolysis, neutralization and reduced reaction without the participation of bromine. The total yield of 3-amino-1-adamantanemethanol was 43%. The structure of the target compound was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, MS, 1HNMR,etc. In addition, the possible reaction mechanisms was proposed.
