Abstract: The present disclosure refers to apparatuses and methods for initializing electronic devices. An electronic device according to various embodiments includes a memory, and a processor operatively connected to the memory. The processor is configured to record, in the memory, software binaries received from an external device during a download mode. The processor is further configured to, when the download mode has ended, perform booting in a normal mode using a bootloader based on a determination indicating that a predetermined software binary is present among the software binaries recorded in the memory, and perform booting in a recovery mode using the bootloader based on the determination indicating that the predetermined software binary is absent from among the software binaries recorded in the memory.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for preparing vinyl chloride in which reaction yield is improved and problems caused by coke generated during reactions can be solved.

Abstract: Provided is a method of inhibiting the formation of coke in an ethylene dichloride to vinyl chloride monomer pyrolysis cracker. The coke formation, which occurs during an ethylene dichloride pyrolysis reaction, is inhibited by contacting a heat-transfer surface of the cracker and a boron compound. The amount of coke generated when a coke formation-inhibiting material is used is 50% or less of that when a coke formation-inhibiting material is not used. In this case, however, the ethylene chloride conversion and the selectivity to a vinyl chloride monomer during the pyrolysis reaction are not affected. Accordingly, the efficiency of the pyrolysis cracker can be maximized.

Abstract: Provided is a coating film that inhibits the formation of coke in an ethylene dichloride to a vinyl chloride monomer pyrolysis cracker and a method of producing the coating film. The coke formation, which occurs during a pyrolysis reaction, is inhibited by coating a boron compound on a heat-transfer surface of the cracker. As a result, the amount of coke generated when a coke formation-inhibiting material is coated is decreased by 50% or greater than that when the coke formation-inhibiting material is not coated. In this case, however, the ethylene chloride conversion and the selectivity to a vinyl chloride monomer during the pyrolysis reaction are not affected. Accordingly, the efficiency of the pyrolysis cracker can be maximized.
