Title: Innovations of Bon-Su Lee in Aromatic Compound Nitration
Introduction
Bon-Su Lee is an accomplished inventor based in Incheon, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of chemical engineering, particularly in the nitration of aromatic compounds. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique process that enhances efficiency and reduces environmental impact.
Latest Patents
Bon-Su Lee holds a patent for a process for nitration of aromatic compounds using a non-acid type nitration process. This method achieves high yield and selectivity by utilizing oxygen activated by an inorganic catalyst and nitrogen dioxide. Notably, this process eliminates the need for concentrated nitric or sulfuric acids, thereby preventing the generation of spent waste acid. Additionally, it circumvents the high costs associated with ozone generation found in alternative nitration processes. By increasing the solubility of oxygen in the reaction medium through pressurized oxygen, the activation of nitrogen dioxide by a porous inorganic oxide significantly accelerates the nitration of aromatic compounds, such as benzene into nitro compounds like PhNO2. The reaction rate is notably increased, and the recovery of reactants is simplified due to the insolubility of the catalyst. Bon-Su Lee has 1 patent to his name.
