Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringGuidelines for Managing Process Safety Risks During Organizational Change Complete Document 2013Organizational Change Management (OCM) has often been overlooked by regulatory and guideline publications in the past.Documents have historically disregarded the topic, mentioned it in passing, or focused on only a few of its aspects.As a result, major decisions regarding reduction in staffing levels, reorganization of the corporate hierarchy, modifications to shift schedules, or adjustment of personnel responsibilities may often be finalized by individuals or committees who lack the understanding of how these changes may affect the health and safety of their employees or the surrounding community.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Environmental ChemistryHandbook of Green Chemistry Vol 1 2013Introduction As many other human activities, chemistry has seen most of its progress being triggered by a constant desire to do things better.The word ‘better’ here is a general term that can encompass concepts as varied as ‘that allows better theoretical understanding’, ‘that allows companies to make significant savings when they use the process in question’ or ‘that saves the experimentalist a lot of strenuous steps in a given synthesis’.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Environmental ChemistryHandbook of Green Chemistry Vol 2 2013Introduction Acid catalysis as a modern science is less than 150 years old.From its inception, acid catalysis has been explored as a means of producing fuels, lubes and petrochemicals.Ordinary homogeneous acids, both inorganic and organic, never proved industrially useful at temperatures much above 150 C.The first reports of aluminosilicate solid acid catalysts involved the use of clays after the turn of the century.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Environmental ChemistryHandbook of Green Chemistry Vol 4 2013Preface Reactions under supercritical conditions have been used for industrial production on various scales for most of the 20th century, but the current intense academic interest in the science and applications of supercritical fluids (SCFs) dates from the mid 1980’s (Figure 1) and the application of SCFs in the chemical synthesis of organic molecules or materials became a ‘‘hot topic” starting in the early 1990’s.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Environmental ChemistryHandbook of Green Chemistry Vol 5 2013Introduction Chemical reactions used to manufacture important compounds such as medicinals are essentially always carried out in solution, and this is also true of the research work that is used to invent the new compounds and to develop appropriate ways to manufacture them.In the past, continuing into the present, the solvents used are normally volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and these pose an environmental problem.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Environmental ChemistryHandbook of Green Chemistry Vol 6 2013In addition to the large number of modified and task-specific ions forming ionic liquids, the concept of using ionic liquids brings along some general features that have to do with the general properties of ionic liquids. To illustrate this statement, one can look at ionic liquids in organic chemistry: Most organic reactions have been tested in ionic liquids to date, but this has often been done by simply transferring traditional reaction conditions to this new class of solvents. In many cases, interesting results were obtained; in others, the outcome was disappointing; in yet other cases, effects were first attributed to the ionic liquid solvent that later turned out to be due to impurities in the ionic liquid or due to ionic liquid decomposition products. It is clear that Green Chemistry with ionic liquids is much more than just synthesis and catalysis. Improved separation processes, more efficient devices or optimized products can be realized by using ionic liquids and this can add to a greener chemistry as the ionic liquid applied may help to e.g. save, generate or store energy.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Catalysis and Reaction EngineeringOrganic Reaction Mechanisms 2010 2013Catalysis by tributylphosphine has been investigated by NMR, and evidence for tetravalent phosphonium enolate inter- mediates (10) is presented: they can be trapped as their TMS ethers or by reaction with 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (to give a β -lactone). An unexpected reaction of aromatic aldimines (26) with a difluoroenoxysi- lane gives access to 2,2-difluoro-3-hydroxy-1-ones (28) – the Mukaiyama aldol-type product – via an amine (27).77 Zinc triflate promotes the reaction, and 18O-labelling and other experiments suggest that water is required to form the product (28). 3,4-Dihydroisoquinoline (29) undergoes aza-Henry reaction with excess nitro- methane at ambient temperature to give the corresponding 1-(nitromethyl)tetrahydro- isoquinoline (30), an unstable species that is trapped by acylation or alkylation, leading to Reissert-like products via an overall one-pot three-component reaction.78 Evidence for reaction via the methyleneazinic acid tautomer of nitromethane (31) is presented. A detailed mechanistic investigation highlights key deficiencies in the use of B3LYP calculations for this reaction and substitutes the MO6-2X DFT computational method.205 The failure to accelerate the reaction with higher temperatures has been explained by VT (variable temperature) experiments and MP2 calculations: the equilibrium shifts towards the reactants even with moderate increases in temperature.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Organic ChemicalsIndustrial Organic Chemicals 3rd Edition Complete Document 2012Chapter 3 concerns the movement of chemicals from wherever they are produced – often from countries that had no chemical industry a generation ago – to wherever they are consumed.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Process Control and SystemsModern Drying Technology Volume 4 Energy Savings 2012A permanent challenge is con- nected to the sheer amount and value of products that must be dried – either to attain their functionalities, or because moisture would damage the material during sub- sequent processing and storage, or simply because customers are not willing to pay for water. Raw materi- als and commodities with a low price per kilogram, but with extremely high production rates, and also highly formulated, rather rare but very expensive special- ties have to be dried. The case is similar to woody biomass, because the main component of sludge is bacterial biomass that may just need to be dried before, for example, landfill, or may require drying in combination with subsequent processes of thermal valorization, such as – again – combustion or gasification. There are thus clear incentives to reduce energy use in drying: to conserve finite resources of fossil fuels, to reduce carbon footprint and combat climate change, and to improve process economics, but it is a challenging task facing real thermodynamic barriers. This would be the heat energy required to run a perfect adiabatic dryer, and also the amount of fuel needed if the heat was supplied by a perfect energy conversion system with zero losses.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Process Control and SystemsBeryllium Chemistry and Processing 2009However, almost all of the beryllium in use is from a powder metal- lurgy product since castings of beryllium gener- ally contain porosity and other casting defects due to its high melting point, high melt viscos- ity, and narrow solid-liquid range [Stonehouse and Marder 1990]. Its specific heat of 1088 J/kg · °C at room temperature is the highest of any ceramic and is greater than that of all metals except beryllium. The Brush Beryllium Company, an Ohio cor- poration chartered in January 1931 by Charles B. Sawyer, was established to exploit certain patents developed by an affiliated unit, The Brush Labo- ratories Company, for the production of beryl- lium for commercial uses. The German beryl- lium industry was subpar even before the war, since it had to import large quantities of beryl- lium oxide from the Beryllium Corporation from 1936 to 1939.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Organic ChemicalsHandbook of Environmental Data on Organic Chemicals Volume 1 5th Edition 2009In addition, chemicals that are likely to be gases at ambient temperatures and that have low water solubility and low adsorptive tendencies are less likely to transport and persist in soils and water. Water solubility is generally not useful for gases, because their solubility in water is measured when the gas above the water is at a partial pressure of one atmosphere. It also explains the observation that many tertiary amines are more soluble in cold than in hot water. In general the method is accurate to within a factor of 2 for most aliphatics, olefins, and simple aromatics. Nevertheless, photochemical processes on soil or vegetable surfaces and in water have been shown to be important with some compounds, so experimental procedures have been developed to study these processes.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Catalysis and Reaction EngineeringMarch’s Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions Mechanisms and Structure 6th Edition Complete Document 2007It is important to note that the numbers for each reaction differ from one edition to the other, and many of the sections in the fifth edition do not correlate with the fourth. It is hoped that the organization of the material on reactions and mechanisms will greatly aid the memory and the understanding. The inclusion com- plex can be readily isolated and reactions done in the solid state, such as the reaction with esters to give hydrazides (reaction 16-75).163 In contrast to the inclu- sion compounds, the crystal lattices here can exist partially empty. Double-headed arrows are also used in pericyclic reactions for convenience, although in these reactions we do not really know how or in which direction the electrons are moving. Much information about the mechanism of a reaction can be obtained from a knowledge of which substances catalyze the reaction, which inhibit it, and which do neither.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Heat and Mass TransferMass Transfer: From Fundamentals to Modern Industrial Applications 2007Mass transfer phenomena can now be observed in many fields of industry.In particular, separation processes, which make up the vast majority of industrial production procedures, are governed by the physics of mass transfer, and their design and optimization depends heavily on knowledge in this field.This didactic approach to the principles and modeling of mass transfer as it is needed in modern industrial processes is unique in combining a step-by-step introduction to all important fundamentals with the most recent applications.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesMicro Instrumentation 2007The concept of process intensification aims to reduce capital costs by combining previously separate unit operations to increase process efficiency and throughput.To achieve this, existing process limitations need to be overcome, especially in mass and heat transfer.This can be implemented particularly well with micro-scale equipment, a very active area of development rapidly gaining in importance since other factors are also increasingly mitigating the size scale-up advantage of conventional plants, such as shipping and waste handling costs outweighing the actual conversion costs.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesSynthesis Properties and Applications of Oxide Nanomaterials Complete Document 2007In technological applications, oxides are used in the fabrication of microelectronic cir- cuits, sensors, piezoelectric devices, fuel cells, coatings for the passivation of surfaces against corrosion, and as catalysts. In the chemical and petrochemical industries, products worth billions of dollars are generated every year through processes that use oxide and metal/oxide catalysts (8). Theoretical studies for oxides show a redistribution of charge when going from large periodic structures to small clusters or aggregates, which must be roughly considered to be relatively small for ionic solids while significantly larger for covalent ones (38–43). Furthermore, the presence of under-coordinated atoms (like corners or edges) or O vacancies in an oxide nanoparti- cle should produce specific geometrical arrangements as well as occupied electronic states located above the valence band of the corresponding bulk material (51–53), enhancing in this way the chemical activity of the system (48,50,54,55). The effect of size reduction and the effect of oxidation enhance each other in an oxide in many aspects such as the charge localization, band gap expansion, and work function reduction.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Process Control and SystemsA Real-Time Approach to Process Control 2nd Edition Complete Document 2006Although this text is designed as an introductory course on process control for senior university students in the chemical engineering curriculum, we believe this text will serve as a valuable desk reference for practising chemical engineers and as a text for technical colleges. Graduate education in process control is the place to introduce these concepts. In order to gain an appreciation for process control and simulation it is important to have some understanding of the history and driving force behind the development of both control and simulation. Just as we attain a means of ‘control over our resistant natural environment we find we have produced in the means themselves an artificial environment of such complexity that we cannot control it’. These differences made many of the published examples of servomechanism design of little use to those interested in process control.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Membrane and Separation TechnologyDistillation Design and Control Using AspenTM Simulation 2006Therefore distillation is, and will remain in the twenty-first century, the premier separation method in the chemical and petroleum industries. Finally, there have been over 35 years of teaching and research at Lehigh in which many undergraduate and graduate students have used simulations of distillation columns in isolation and in plantwide environments to learn basic distillation principles and to develop effective control structures for a variety of distillation column configur- ations. The purpose of this book is to try to capture some of this extensive experience with distillation design and control so that it is available to students and young engineers when they face problems with distillation columns. Questions are addressed as to whether to use single-end control or dual- composition control, where to locate temperature control trays, and how excess degrees of freedom should be fixed. Since the pressure in a distillation column is relatively constant in most columns (the exception is vacuum distil- lation, in which the pressures at the top and bottom are significantly different in terms of absolute pressure level), a Txy diagram, and an xy diagram are convenient for the analysis of binary distillation systems.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Environmental ChemistryAdvanced pH Measurement and Control – Third Edition 2005The improvements made based on their comments should help make this the best practical application guide for pH measurement and control in the process industry. Greg is an ISA Fellow and received the ISA “Kermit Fischer Environmental” Award for pH control in 1991, the Control magazine “Engineer of the Year” Award for the Process Industry in 1994, and was one of the first inductees into the Control magazine “Process Automation Hall of Fame” in 2001. The stick-slip of the same control valve must be less than 0.00005% to control within 1 pH of the 7 pH set point. Successive zooms centered on 7 pH should always yield additional S-shaped curves, as seen in Figures 1-1b and 1-1c, since the slope is continuously changing by a factor of 10 for each pH unit deviation from 7 pH. Of course, the loop probably was not stable to begin with at 7 pH, so the better set point does not mean you can increase the gain by a factor of 10 per pH unit even though it might be a strong acid and base.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Equipment for the Chemical IndustryAIChE Equipment Testing Procedure: Continuous Direct-Heat Rotary Dryers: A Guide to Performance Evaluation 3rd Edition 2005The newest edition of the AIChE manual to continuous  direct-heat rotary dryers   Continuous Direct-Heat Rotary Dryers, Third Edition is the  latest text in the AIChE Equipment Testing Procedure series.This new edition continues to provide chemical engineers, plant  managers, and other professionals in the chemical process  industries with helpful advice about performance evaluation.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Inorganic ChemicalsBoronic Acids 2005One of the latest advances in the preparation of boronic acids, the use of C-H activa- tion/borylation methods, is discussed in Chapter 2. Much has happened in the de- velopment of new conditions and catalysts to expand the scope of transition metal catalysed C-C bond formation processes using boronic acids. Boronic acids and several of their ester derivatives can serve as stable and mild Lewis acids, and this unique property has inspired the development of catalysts for several reaction processes, including asymmetric transformations; this topic is reviewed in Chapter 10. Unfortunately, the bulky boronic esters 37–40 are very robust to hydrolysis, and their conversion back into boronic acids is notoriously difficult. Other types of esters including DICHED [121] and the robust pinacol esters of peptidyl boronates [122] have also been converted into boronic acids through transesterification with diethanolamine in or- ganic solvent, followed by acidic aqueous hydrolysis.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Inorganic ChemicalsBulk Crystal Growth of Electronic Optical and Optoelectronic Materials Complete Document 2005Several multibillion/million US$ industries are based on bulk-grown  crystals of both semiconductors and oxides/fluorides.These  industries include information technology, telecommunications,  infrared imaging (both military and civilian), lasers, medical  imaging, high-energy physics and solar cells.Bulk-grown crystals  have, in some cases, been commercially available for over 50 years,  and in that time average sizes have increased greatly, leading to  lower unit costs, consequently lower device costs and hence greater  consumer benefit.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Process Control and SystemsLoop Checking – A Technician’s Guide 2005Because neither the author nor the publisher has any control over the use of the information by the reader, both the author and the publisher disclaim any and all liability of any kind arising out of such use. Beginning his career with Fisher Controls as a valve application engineer, he spent the last 23 years with Control Southern as a control systems engineer. Chapter 1 – Introduction to Loop Checking provides a background on the recently increased emphasis on the loop checking process (i.e., the financial paybacks are significant from control system performance). For this reason, this guide defines loop checking broadly to include control loop performance rather than merely in terms of plant start-up situations as in the traditional definition. In addition to the controller performance enemies of deadtime and noise mentioned previously, the valve could also introduce non-linearities and deadband into the loop – neither of which is good for the PID controller.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Organic ChemicalsMicrowave Assisted Organic Synthesis 2005The first reports on the application of microwaves in organic  synthesis date back to 1986, but it was not until the recent  introduction of specifically designed and constructed equipment,  which countered the safety and reproducibility concerns, that  synthetic application of microwaves has become established as a  laboratory technique.Microwave assisted synthesis is now being  adopted in many industrial and academic laboratories to take  advantage of the novel chemistry that can be carried out using a  variety of organic reaction types.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Catalysis and Reaction EngineeringName Reactions and Reagents in Organic Synthesis 2nd Edition 2005An invaluable resource for navigating the world of name reactions  and reagents   Current indexing schemes do not list reactions and reagents as  commonly as they used to.Name Reactions and Reagents in Organic  Synthesis, Second Edition provides an up-to-date, concise  compilation of the most commonly used and widely known name  reactions and reagents in modern synthetic organic chemistry.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Membrane and Separation TechnologyPreparative Chromatography: of Fine Chemicals and Pharmaceutical Agents 2005Registered names, trademarks, etc. used in this book, even when not specifically marked as such, are not to be considered unprotected by law. A first, early milestone in this process can be traced back to a 1995 symposium organized by DECHEMA e. V., which brought scientists from both industry and uni- versities together to discuss future research in the field of preparative chromatogra- phy. In this case it is the importance of addressing preparative and process chromatographic issues from the viewpoint of both chemists and process engineers in order to improve our understanding and to transfer the necessary knowledge between our disciplines. One message for them is: Chromatography is not as difficult and expensive as it is often said and perceived to be. Chromatography is an adsorptive separation process and is in general based on the deposition or accumulation of molecules on a surface.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Inorganic ChemicalsPrinciples of Inorganic Materials Design 2005Whereas solid-state physics is concerned with the mathematical description of the varied physical phenomena that solids exhibit and the solid-state chemist is interested in probing the relationships between structural chemistry and physical phenomena, the materials scientist has the task of using these descriptions and relationships to design materials that will perform specified engineering functions. Thus an engineering problem prompted the discovery and description of two fundamental phenomena in solids that have ever since been used by chemists and physicists to interpret structural and magnetic phenomena in transition-metal compounds and to design new magnetic materials. Although oxides other than V2O5 and MoO3, which contain vandyl or molybdyl ions, do not form layered structures analogous to TiS2, I knew that LiMO2 compounds exist that have a layered structure similar to that of LiTiS2. Solid-state chemists typically receive a small amount of training in condensed-matter physics, but none in materials science or engineering, and yet all of these traditional fields are inextricable components of inorganic solid-state chemistry. We have also included biographies of several individuals who have made significant fundamental contributions to inorganic materials science in the twentieth century.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Process Control and SystemsProcess Development 2005There is a long way to go between the original idea and the final chemical production plant.Almost nothing else is as complex as the manufacture of chemical products.This book presents all the different aspects, including those that are maybe only touched upon or not even covered at all as part of a course in natural sciences, such as economic factors, patents and licensing, site requirements and problems of waste disposal.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Analytical ChemistrySpectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds 7th Edition 2005Chemical ma- nipulations may be necessary, but the information ob- tained from the spectra will permit intelligent selection of chemical treatments. The DEPT spectrum provides the distribution of carbon atoms with the number of hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon. Thus, the spectrum should show a peak at, say, mass 400, which is distinguishable from a peak at mass 399 or at mass 401. Arbitrarily, the valley between two such peaks should not be more than 10% of the height of the larger peak. The most intense peak in the spectrum, called the base peak, is assigned a value of 100%, and the intensities (height ϫ sensitivity factor) of the other peaks, including the molecular ion peak, are reported as percentages of the base peak.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Environmental ChemistryWater Treatment: Principles and Design 2nd Edition 2005These technologies have also been widely deployed, to the point where the vast majority ofsurface water supplies have treatment ofthis kind. in a water supply that is completely free of wastewater contamination. To produce a water that is safe to drink and aesthetically pleasing, treatment processes must be selected that, when grouped together, can be used to remove specific constituents. Particles in water are important for a variety of reasons, including their impact on treatment processes and the potential health impacts of pathogen-associated particles. Historically, the significance ofNOM in drinking water was related to its impact on aesthetic quality, as NOM imparts a yellowish tinge to water that many people find unpalatable. Nitrogen gas is generally not of significance in water treatment; however, nitrogen gas is often used to strip other gases, such as oxygen, out of water.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Fluid DynamicsIntroduction to Fluid Mechanics: includes CD 12/9/2004INTRODUCTION Fluid mechanics is concerned with understanding, predicting, and controlling the behavior of a fluid.Since we live in a dense gas atmosphere on a planet mostly covered by liquid, a rudimentary grasp of fluid mechanics is part of everyday life.For an engineer, fluid mechanics is an important field of the applied sciences with many practical and exciting applications.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/CoatingsProtective Coatings for Turbine Blades 2002The studies aimed at increasing ductility of diffusion aluminide coatings resulted in the gradual decrease of the aluminum contents of the coatings from 34 to 36%, typical of the coat- ings used in the 1960s, down to 20 to 24%, typ- ical of the coatings used since the 1970s. For this reason, development of calculation methods for determining stresses and strains in the coatings on turbine blades and thus their ser- vice lives under conditions of high thermal stresses further advanced the work on overlay coatings. The book includes detailed de- scriptions of some technological processes for diffusion and overlay coatings deposition, to- gether with compositions of the coatings used for turbine blades protection, coatings structures after their deposition on the blade surfaces, and their changes during high-temperature testing. Some chapters deal with ther- mal barrier coatings, technological features of their deposition, and test results, as well as with the principles of calculations of stresses and strains in the coatings on blades. Defects in a coating on blade surfaces may be caused by hot corrosion and oxidation, low resistance of blade construction to thermal fatigue, poor high-temperature strength and en- durance of the substrate, or by a combination of these factors.

Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringThermodynamics of Pharmaceutical Systems: An Introduction for Students of Pharmacy 2002If the system is homogeneous and consists of a single chem- ical substance, only three variables suffice. Since it is conceiva- ble that heat is given off or taken up by the system during the process, maintaining a constant temperature requires that the heat loss or gain be offset by heat absorbed from or given up to the surroundings. Here ÁU is the change in thermodynamic energy of the system, q is the amount of energy gained by the system as heat, and w is the amount of energy lost by the system by doing work on its surroundings. Let us try to develop an analogy, based on what we know from classical mechanics, between a mechanical system and a chemical (thermodynamic) system.

Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringEvaluating Process Safety in the Chemical Industry: A User’s Guide to Quantitative Risk Analysis 2000Quantitative Risk Analysis is a powerful tool used to help manage risk and improve safety.When used appropriately, it provides a rational basis for evaluating process safety and comparing alternative safety improvements.This guide, an update of an earlier American Chemistry Council (ACC) publication utilizing the “hands-on” experience of CPI risk assessment practitioners and safety professionals involved with the CCPS and ACC, explains how managers and users can make better-informed decisions about QRA, and how plant engineers and process designers can better understand, interpret and use the results of a QRA in their plant.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesGuidelines for Chemical Process Quantitative Risk Analysis 2nd Edition 2000This book was intended to provide a complete overview of the tools and techniques required to do a quantitative analysis of the risk associated with the immediate impact of potential episodic accident events such as fires, explosions, and the release of acutely toxic material. Risk measures (Section 4.1) and risk pre- sentation formats (Section 4.2) are chosen in finalizing a scope of work for the CPQRA. Risk Estimation combines the consequences and likelihood of all incident out- comes from all selected incidents to provide one or more measures of risk (Chap- ter 4). Utilization of Risk Estimates is the process by which the results from a risk analysis are used to make decisions, either through relative ranking of risk reduc- tion strategies or through comparison with speclfic risk targets. Where CPQRA risk estimates are to be compared in an absolute sense to risk tar- gets, or risk “acceptability criteria,” concern should increase over the issue of absolute accuracy of these estimates.

3/1/1998This book documents CCPS’s Aerosol Research Program to develop a model to predict liquid rainout from release of a pressurized, liquefied gas–and, hence the residual amount of material in a vapor cloud, which may be greater than the amount calculated from an enthalpy chart.RELEASE predicts the rate of fluid discharge, the depressurization, flashing and formation of liquid drops, the entrainment of drops into the vapor cloud, the subsequent spreading of the jet, and rate of liquid rainout to a pool on the ground.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Physical ChemistryPHASE TRANSITIONS IN COMPLEX FLUIDS 2/28/1998This important and timely book deals with the theoretical and experimental investigation of the phase transitions which occur in complex fluid systems, namely lyotropic systems, microemulsions, colloids, biological membranes, and ferrofluids.It contains 17-odd review papers from the major contributors to this rapidly growing field of research, summarizing the main results obtained in the description and understanding of the phase transitions taking place between the isotropic, nematic, cholesteric, lamellar, hexagonal, and cubic mesophases of complex fluids.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Analytical ChemistryASTM MNL3 – Manual on Hydrocarbon Analysis – 6th Edition 1998The preferred method for sampling Ca and C4 hydrocarbons is by the use of piston cylinders, ASTM Stan- dard Practice D3700, although sampling these materials as gases is also acceptable in many cases. I Two procedures are described whereby the sample is either treated with acid to decompose the organic material and dissolve the metals or, alternatively, the sample is dissolved in an organic solvent. The classic platinum-cobalt color method, ASTM Test Method D1209, Color of Clear Liquids (Platinum-Cobalt Scale)/which requires subjective visual color comparison, is slowly being replaced by methods such as ASTM Test Method D5386, Color of Liquids Using Tristimulus Colorimetry.l This new standard is currently limited to a maximum color of 30 because, for higher color values, the vendors’ algorithms to convert tristimulus values to Pt-Co color produce different results. 7.2 Pour the sample into the sample container to a depth such that, when cooled to the temperature of test, the depth of the sample is at least 10 mm greater than the depth to which the needle is expected to penetrate. Silicone contamination can produce erroneous results in other tests such as those for penetration and flash point.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Catalysis and Reaction EngineeringSYNTHETIC COORDINATION CHEMISTRY: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE 9/20/1996Although coordination chemistry naturally centers on the synthesis of coordination compounds, the synthesis of these materials is typically not an end in itself.Coordination compounds are utilized in all branches of chemistry; from theoretical modeling to industrial and consumer products.While a large amount of information is available on coordination chemistry in general and synthetic methods in particular, no comprehensive work has been presented on the preparation of coordination compounds with an emphasis on synthetic strategies rather than on detailed descriptions of specific syntheses.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Plastics, Polymers and ElastomersPolymer Technology 9/2/1996As is usual in the poly- mer field this is not the whole story and we find that the softening point of polystyrene is lower than that of polyethylene in spite of the fact that polystyrene, too, is a polar molecule. The chief advantage of this method is ob- viously the purity of the final product with the concomitant advantages of excellent color and clarity in transparent polymers such as polystyrene. There are many unsaturat- ed polymers which are suitable for curing by radiation techniques. Workers in Germany were also active, of course, during this period, and between 1939 and 1941 Dr. Otto Bayer discovered and developed useful polymers (known as poly’- urethanes) from the reaction between di-isocyanates and hydroxyl com- pounds. The material so excreted is not a definite polymer but consists largely of esters of aleuritic acid.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Inorganic ChemicalsTOPICS IN PHOSPHATE CHEMISTRY 8/23/1996This book provides a thorough review of a class of powerful algorithms for the numerical analysis of complex time series data which were obtained from dynamical systems.These algorithms are based on the concept of state space representations of the underlying dynamics, as introduced by nonlinear dynamics.In particular, current algorithms for state space reconstruction, correlation dimension estimation, testing for determinism and surrogate data testing are presented — algorithms which have been playing a central role in the investigation of deterministic chaos and related phenomena since 1980.

The present book has been expanded to include both source term models and vapor cloud dispersion models, and it incorporates worked examples with the model descriptions. 0  Information on how to run some models and interpret the model outputs. A model such as ISC is easy to run and is recognized by regulatory agencies. These observations are best made on-site, but can also be obtained from nearby National Weather Service ( NWS ) sites, as long as the NWS site is reasonably representative of the facility being modeled.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesGuidelines for Writing Effective Operating and Maintenance Procedures 1996The EPA investigation of a 1994 chemical plant tragedy concluded that “the explosion resulted from a lack of written safe operating procedures” While good written procedures can’t guarantee zero accidents, they can reduce the number of accidents caused by human error.This new book shows how to remedy this problem through selecting and implementing actions that promote safe, efficient operations and maintenance, improve quality, continuity, profitability and cost control, build upon and record process experience, and promote the concept that operating and maintenance procedures are vital plant components.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Fluid DynamicsHandbook of Fluid Dynamics and Fluid Machinery Volume 1 Fundamentals of Fluid Dynamics Complete Document 1996Handbook Of Fluid Dynamics And Fluid Machinery  Volume One Fundamentals Of Fluid Dynamics  Joseph A. Schetz And Allen E. Fuhs
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Fluid DynamicsHandbook of Fluid Dynamics and Fluid Machinery Volume 2 Experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics Complete Document 1996Examples of such comparisons are mass, momentum, or en- ergy balances, e.g., verifying that: I) all the flow rates in a system sum to the measured total flow rate, 2) the measured drag on a body is equal to the momentum deficit of its wake, or 3) the total heat transfer from a wall to a flowing fluid can be checked in an energy balance on the flowing fluid. In general, the total pressure is determined from the change in enthalpy with constant entropy as the fluid is brought to rest. (v)  Low Reynolds Number Effects: Viscous shear may exert additional forces on the fluid near the stagnation hole preventing the total pressure tube from measuring the isentropic stagnation pressure. A micromanometer, which is nulled by moving a reservoir, would be less susceptible to tube non-uniformities and to fluid contamination which may change the shape of the meniscus. If the fluid were compressible, increasing the tube diameter may reduce the system response because of the increased fluid volume in the connecting line.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Fluid DynamicsHandbook of Fluid Dynamics and Fluid Machinery Volume 3 Applications of Fluid Dynamics Complete Document 1996We are pleased that the use of this new technology will enable us to keep works of enduring scholarly value in print as long as there is a reasonable demand for them. Lubrication with oil or other fluids is used mainly to reduce friction and wear be- tween sliding surfaces. A parameter’}’, known as the surface pattern parameter, can be used to indicate the ratio of the characteristic asperity dimension along the flow to that nor- mal to the flow. If a disturbance in a thin element of fluid in a duct is con- sidered, a mathematical description of the motion may be obtained by assuming that: 1) the amount of fluid in the element is conserved, 2) the net longitudinal force is balanced by the inertia of the fluid in the element, and 3) the process in the element is adiabatic (i.e., there is no flow of heat in or out of the element). Transducers can be built to measure displacement, ve- locity, or acceleration in fluids or vibrating structures.

Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringTools for Making Acute Risk Decisions with Chemical Process Safety Applications Complete Document 1995The complexity of today’s risk decisions is well known.Beyond cost and risk there are many other factors contributing to these decisions, including type of risk (such as human injury or fatality), the economic impact on the local community, profitability, availability of capital, alternatives for reducing or eliminating the risk, costs of implementing alternatives, codes, standards, regulation, and good industry practice.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Physical ChemistryFEMTOCHEMISTRY: ULTRAFAST DYNAMICS OF THE CHEMICAL BOND (IN 2 VOLUMES) – VOLUME 1 9/12/1994For dynamics to be observed at the atomic-scale resolution of motion, not only must the structures be determined, but also their change with time.8 Near the turn of this century, Svante Arrhenius’s famous work provided a macroscopic description of the change in rates of chemical reactions with temperature; the rate constant, k = A exp (- Ea/kT), describes the time scale at a given temperature T; A is a pre-exponential factor and Ea is the energy of activation. For laser chemists the interest stems from the hope that if enough energy can be localized in a bond for a period of time longer than the reaction time, one may achieve selective bond fission 25 Hence, a key question is the following: What is the time scale for energy redistribution and what determines its selectivity or lack thereof? This concept has been fundamental not only to dynamics but also to the structure of the chemical bond.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Physical ChemistryFEMTOCHEMISTRY: ULTRAFAST DYNAMICS OF THE CHEMICAL BOND (IN 2 VOLUMES) – VOLUME 2 9/12/1994For dynamics to be observed at the atomic-scale resolution of motion, not only must the structures be determined, but also their change with time.8 Near the turn of this century, Svante Arrhenius’s famous work provided a macroscopic description of the change in rates of chemical reactions with temperature; the rate constant, k = A exp (- EJkT), describes the time scale at a given temperature T; A is a pre-exponential factor and Efl is the energy of activation. The effort started shortly after the famous publication of the Heitler-London quantum-mechanical treatment (in 1927) of the hydrogen molecule.13 One year later (1928), at Arnold Sommerfeld’s Festschrift (60th birthday), Fritz London presented an approximate expression for the potential energy of triatomic systems, e.g., Hy in terms of the coulombic and exchange energies of the “diatomic” pairs.14 In 1931 Henry Eyring and Michael Polanyi,15 using the London equation, provided a semiempirical calculation of a potential energy surface (PES) of the H + H2 reaction describing the journey of nuclei from the reactant state of the system to the product state, passing through the crucial transition state. The theory made four assumptions 18,19 including equilibration of the activated complexes, and gave an analytical formula for the rate constant with a “frequency” for the passage through the transition state. Generally, the time scale for IVR is on the order of picoseconds, the rates are tens of picoseconds and longer, and the “lifetime” of transition-state species is picoseconds to femtoseconds. Included in this data are the rates measured for differ- ent N” states of CN.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesGuidelines for Evaluating the Characteristics of Vapor Cloud Explosions Flash Fires and BLEVEs 1994Guidelines for evaluating the characteristics of vapor cloud explosions, flash fires. and BLEVEs. The Center for Chemical Process Safety of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers owes a great deal of thanks to the dedicated and professional engineers and scientists who served with distinction on the Vapor Cloud Explosion subcommit- tee during the development of this Guidelines book. Generally speaking, several features need to be present for a vapor cloud explosion with damaging overpressure to occur. The portion of the vapor cloud in each region depends on many factors, including type and amount of the material released; pressure at time of release; size of release opening; degree of confinement of the cloud; and wind, humidity, and other environmental effects (Hanna and Drivas 1987). Fourth, the blast effects produced by vapor cloud explosions can vary greatly and are determined by the speed of flame propagation.
Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringGuidelines for Implementing Process Safety Management Systems 1994The causes of catastrophic accidents in the process industries, now recognized as complex and interrelated, need to be matched by multi-faceted technical management systems.These principles apply to companies of any size and to a full range of industries beyond the chemical industry, such as pulp and paper, electronics, oil and gas.This book supplements the systematic approach to process safety management set out in previous CCPS publications — A CHALLENGE TO COMMITMENT, GUIDELINES FOR TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT OF CHEMICAL PROCESS SAFETY, and PLANT GUIDELINES FOR TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT OF CHEMICAL PROCESS SAFETY.
Chemistry and Chemical EngineeringGuidelines for Preventing Human Error in Process Safety 1994Almost all the major accident investigations–Texas City, Piper Alpha, the Phillips 66 explosion, Feyzin, Mexico City–show human error as the principal cause, either in design, operations, maintenance, or the management of safety.This book provides practical advice that can substantially reduce human error at all levels.In eight chapters–packed with case studies and examples of simple and advanced techniques for new and existing systems–the book challenges the assumption that human error is “unavoidable.”

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Process Control and SystemsGuidelines for Process Equipment Reliability Data with Data Tables 1989The means to improve equipment perfor- mance and data on causes of equipment failure are a segment of reliability engineering and are not addressed here. When using generic failure rate data for a class of equipment in a specified service under a particular operating and maintenance strategy, the engineer or risk analyst must decide if the data are applicable or require modification to compensate for differences in the operating situations. Similarly, engineering judgments are required for data from a specific plant and process where there is usually a limited amount of data available and a high degree of uncertainty about whether the available values are repre- sentative. In this book, we have attempted to make these three areas, often carried out completely independently, compat- ible so that any data collected in the future using this book can be easily added to the store of generic reliability data. Incestuous duta: Data in two or more data sets that are derived from a common origin and may be inadvertently “double-counted” when aggregated.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesThe Handbook of Chemical Substitutes 12/31/1985Even when a suitable substitute is found, it may be necessary to modify the original formula by using a smaller or larger amount of the substitute and often, to add one or more other ingredients to balance it. Because of the uncertainty of the continued availability of any substitute material, it is advisable to try out a number of materials on each problem, so as to have a substitute ready for the substitute used. Price should not be too great a deterrent in selecting a substitute. Only those properties which are absolutely essential should be demanded; otherwise the search for a substitute will be greatly hampered, if not made futile. If the material is such that it cannot be brought back to its original state of uniformity (e.g., a decomposed glue), then it should not be used.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/CoatingsOrganic Coatings, Properties and Evaluation 4/23/1985The cave man was probably the first who tested a paint to see if it was dry enough to apply another color when completing his cave paintings. All other paints are collectively referred to as coatings and have one thing in common-they are produced against a set of requirements which are commensurate with the performance demanded of the dry paint film, and are applied to the substrate. In this test parallel cuts are made through the coat- ing in one direction and another series of cuts are made perpendicularly to the first cuts to form a series of small squares, originally one hundred of them, 1/32 in. in size. The tip is used to cut into the coating to the substrate at a low angle to the hori- zontal plane. The ASTM Method D 879 entitled, Tensile Properties of Adhesives, was adapted for coating adhesiveness and involved using two plugs of base metal (usually steel) with the coating under test between them.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesIndustrial Chemical Cleaning 7/6/1984Chapter I contains a discussion of the sources and composition of various types of fouling deposits; the mechanism of corrosion; hazards that are encountered in chemical cleaning; and a brief description of the special equipment used by contractors. Chapters II, III, and IV contain detailed descriptions of the numerous chemicals used for industrial clean- ing including alkalis, acids, corrosion inhibitors, and wetting agents, as well as some special agents. Chemicals Used in Industrial Cleaning … Within the past 30 years it has become apparent that in-place cleaning of industrial equipment by means of chemical solutions is, in many in·, stances, safer and more economical than the older, labor-intensive, me·, chanical methods. Among these hazards are the chemical cleaning solutions themselves, toxic gases generated by reactions between solvents and fouling deposits, pressure buildup from the generation of hydrogen or the release of carbon dioxide from carbonates, flammable substances including hydrogen and hydrocarbons, and the pos- sible presence of pyrophoric materials.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Plastics, Polymers and ElastomersPrinciples of Polymer Processing 2/5/1980The increasing use of synthetic polymers in preference to metals and other engineering materialsi’or a wide range of applications has been accompanied by the development and improvement of processes for converting them into useful products. The purposes of this book are to introduce the reader briefly to the main methods of processing thermoplastic polymers, and to examine the principles of flow and heat transfer in some of the more industrially important of these processes. Along with the expansion in the manufacture of polymers has come the development and improvement of processes to convert them into useful products. Although melts can best be described as fluids, they behave very differently from most familiar fluids. The purpose is to provide an introduction to flow and heat transfer characteristics, rather than an exhaustive treatment of polymer properties.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesParticulate Science and Technology 1/2/1980Other evi· dence includes: the publishing of Orr’s book on Particulate Technology by Macmillan in 1966, the holding of a workshop on “Fine Particle Tech- nology” in 1975 (National Science Foundation)*, the publication of vari- ous series of texts on different aspects of particulate matter on both sides of the Atlantic, the founding of the Fine Particle Society and its aspiration to correlate and serve the needs of its members in this field, in Japan the foundation of the Research Association for Powder Technology, the estab- lishment of the International Powder Institute, the formation of the Inter- national Fine Particle Research Institute, and the services of the Powders Advisory Center. There is an urgent need for developing dynamic concepts about the methods for the separation of very fine particles (less than 0.5 micron) from gases. When particles are being moved, usually entrained in a fluid, their level of interaction with each other and with the carrier fluid and also with the system surfaces and measuring devices should be related to the basic properties ofthe particles, the fluid, and the overall system. Chapters 3 and 4 may be said to deal with PARTICULATE TECHNOLO- GY; they describe the ways in which particles are formed, the various pro- duction methods associated with each, followed by a descriptive treatment of some of the standard processing steps for dealing with finely divided matter. Meth- ods are available to determine surface area and it is therefore convenient to relate this measure to some property of the set of particles that is of con- cern (for example, the reactivity).
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesMathematics for Chemists 2/7/1979When we say that y is a function of x, we mean that if we take some particular value of x, say xl’ we can find a corresponding value Yl of y. If we can associate several values of y with one value of x, then the function is many valued. However, if we consider y2 = Xl’ we see that x can only have positive values or be zero. In the next chapter we shall see that this is a very special function in that for y = exp(x) , the rate at which y changes as x changes is, in fact, equal to y itself. The rules we have just developed do not enable us to differentiate functions such as y = (x 2 + 3x + 5)5/2.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Membrane and Separation TechnologyDistillation Engineering 1/5/1979Also taken into account is that the chemical decomposition and polymerization of materials require a transfer of the chemical compound separation through distil- lation in the field of lower pressures, frequently under application of special apparatus. Where separation column internals are concerned, only those which have pro- minently stood the test in recent years in the most varied separation processes of the chemical and allied industries and which are also therefore more frequently used, are dealt with in greater detail. It was therefore the author’s aim in writing “Distillation Engineering” to cover the industrial side of distillation and rectification. The primary operations in the thermal separation of liquids are distillation and rectification 3 • While Simple distillation will generally achieve a rough separation of constituents, because the vapors arising from a mixture will have a composition different from that of the mother liquid, rectification provides a better separation and a recovery of virtually pure components. To the right of the azeotropic point the relative volatility exceeds unity, and the vapor is richer in the more volatile component than the liquid.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesChemical Specialties 2/8/1978There are many who have not had the advantages of a college training and technical education but who, nevertheless, started to manufacture chemical specialties and succeeded in developing a good livelihood and even a large business in this field. It can be seen that a chemical specialty business is theoretically, fairly simple to start. When the product is all ready for sale, a market should be prepared for it. Water, when present, is useful in many products but detrimental to others. Sulfuric acid should always be diluted with water in such a way that the acid is poured into the water, never the water into the acid.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesPurification With Activated Carbon – Industrial, Commercial, Environmental 8/1/1974The designation Active Carbon, used in the earlier book, is favored in a number of scientific circles, whereas most industrial workers prefer the term A ctivated Carbon. For many years granular carbons (except bone char) were used primarily in vapor phase systems because the early commercial brands lacked adsorptive characteristics needed for most liquid phase purifications. Bussy5, in 1822, heated blood with potash and produced a carbon with with 20 to 50 times the decolorizing power of bone char. From the carbons selected, appropriate dosages of each are added to measured portions of the liquid to be treated under conditions deemed suitable for plant-scale operation, after which the carbon is separated by filtration. To exclude the possibility that the effect might be a consequence of readjusting pH, the entire procedure was re- peated but without carbon.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Fluid DynamicsFluid Flow for Chemical Engineers 2/7/1973Part 1 is suitable for use in Higher National Certificate and Higher. Part 2 deals with the flow of Newtonian liquids with reference to rectangular and cylindrical coordinate systems. The treatment of non-Newtonian flow in rectangular and cylindrical coordinate systems requires the use oftensors. The material in this book is also used in the one week refresher courses in fluid mechanics, which are periodically run by the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Salford, for the Institution of Chemical Engineers. In a fluid in laminar flow, fast moving molecules diffuse into slow moving streams and vice versa, resulting in a transfer of momentum in a direction perpendicular to the direction of flow.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesMaintenance Chemical Specialties 2/14/1972All chemical specialty polish products can be thought of as attempts at balanced products. Similarly, a balanced product is one in which a compromise has been made between two related advantageous pro- perties, whereby the fullest development of one property would diminish the other. The hard waxes are more durable and contribute to the longer life of the gloss condition, as well as some measure of long-term rebuffability. Use only low color waxes for wax fraction. Floor waxes (major constituent is a wax) have always been most sensitive to the effects of contact with water or cleaning solutions because of the chemistry related both to the waxes themselves and emulsification requirements.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Organic ChemicalsOutline of Industrial Organic Chemistry – Third Edition 10/15/1970Moreover, microbiological techniques have assumed so great and general importance in other coun- tries that it appeared appropriate to deal in greater detail with the microbiological pro- duction of protein yeast, the first method of this type to be used. It was an important feature of German patents that it was not the material that was protected but the method of its production. The centre of gravity of chemical engineering is shifting more and more from processes based on materials to processes the nature of which is determined by the equipment used, in particular the conti- nuous catalytic processes. The dissociation back into naphthalene of the <x-acid formed (3) and the expulsion of the excess naphthalene by steam (4) are performed in one operation. Sulphur can be removed from the low temperature carbonization gases by dry puri- fication with ‘Lauta-compound’ (ferric hydroxide from the decomposition of bauxite for the production of aluminium) which after exhaustion is extracted with CS2 • The gases can also be purified by wet scrubbing, e.g. by the ‘a1kazid’ process (potassium salts of amino acids) or by the Koppers method with K 2 C0 3 liquor.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Organic ChemicalsOrganic Chemistry Simplified – 3rd Edition 2/2/1970The student should constantly bear in mind that a flow of electric charge from one atom to another takes place in an electro- valence bond, whereas a mutual sharing of electric charge occurs in a co- valence bond. Everything seemed bright and clear then to the scientific philosophers because all they would have to do was develop methods for determining how many electrons there were in each atom and how they were arranged in the atom. The physicists, however, took over with their calculations in quantum mechanics and showed that two like atoms can be held together by an electron pair with opposite spins. The problem is to explain how the four electrons become equivalent, which is a condition we should expect on the basis of the chemistry of carbon; it nearly always has a valence of four, as in compounds such as methane, CH 4 , carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 etc. These models are based on the rules that (1) the atoms in a compound, generally, but not always, attain a cloak of eight electrons, and (2) the electrons act in pairs when forming compounds and are generally symmetrically situated.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Analytical ChemistryASTM DS37A – X-RAY EMISSION AND ABSORPTION WAVELENGTHS AND TWO-THETA TABLES – Second Edition 1970Fundamental to the successful use of these techniques is the proper application of X-ray emission line and absorption edge wave- length data, together with calculated values for the Bragg diffraction angles of the analyzing crystals. It pro- vides a listing of all X-ray emission lines (160 A* and shorter), incor- porating some 3400 first order lines, absorption edges, and the calcu- lated two-theta values for 23 commonly used analyzing crystals. The KeV value was determined by dividing the wavelength of each line (first order) or absorption edge into the value for hv. Wavelengths which appear as 31.599999, for example, should be understood to be 31.6. It is realized that for many spec- trometers, not all of the lines listed will be resolved; but it is believed better to have the lines listed, although unresolved, than to have the lines resolved and go unidentified or even misidentified.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Analytical ChemistryASTM DS46 – X-RAY EMISSION WAVELENGTHS AND KEV TABLES FOR NONDIFFRACTIVE ANALYSIS 1970FOREWORD Recently developed, high-resolution X-ray detectors such as lithium-drifted silicon and germanium have resulted in widespread application of nondiffractive (also called nondispersive) analysis as an alternative or complementary technique to X-ray emission spectrography (X-ray fluorescence analysis).This table has been prepared for use in nondiffractive analyses.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Physical ChemistryPhysics for Chemists and Biologists 9/3/1969In his great contribution On a Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field (1864) he showed that electromagnetic action travels through space at a definite rate as waves, and that these waves, like those of light, are transverse to the direction of propagation. Later (1867) he showed theoretically that the velocity of these waves is the same as that oflight, and that this velocity is also equal to the ratio of the electromagnetic to the electrostatic unit of charge. Consequently, Maxwell concluded that light was electromagnetic radiation. Electrical potential difference is defined [as in equation (2.11)] as the work done by an electric field in increasing the energy of a unit charge. In this case the current in the circuit is a maximum and the circuit is said to resonate.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Fluid DynamicsChemical Processing Nomographs 1/6/1969The initial publication of Chemical Processing Nomographs in 1960 filled a long-felt need for a bound collection of the highly popular nomographs that appear regularly in Chemical Processing, published by Putman Publishing Company, Chicago, Ill. What rate is required to add 0.5% chemical at a concentration of 0.2 lb/gal to a paper machine producing 7800 lb/hr of paper? Note on the Y-scale that 18 sec would be required to supply 1 gal of solution. Obviously the nomograph is not suitable for precise calculations; for this reason it does not include such factors as corrections for thermal expansion of the primary device or Reynolds number. The “wet basis” side of the differential scale is used where a straight- wall mercury manometer i& used with water or other liquid on the mercury surface.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesPractical Emulsions, Volume 2, Applications 2/5/1968The emulsion is formed when the concentrate is mixed with water imme- diately prior to use. The surfactant in a typical agricultural emulsion should provide an emulsion of small particle size. 1 Cationic surfactants are often used as emulsifying and wetting agents in agricultural emulsions. A solvent is often found in the oil phase of an agricultural emulsion and is used to keep the active ingredients (pesticide, herbicide, etc.) and emulsifying agent in solution. With very high shear mixing, the tar particles are extremely small and the emulsions are very smooth.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Analytical ChemistryMass Spectrometry 1/2/1968OUR interest in the rapidly expanding field of mass spectrometry prompted us, in the summer of 1966, to consider the organization of a two~day symposium on the subject to be held at Enfield College of Technology the following year. We would like to record our appreciation to all those who presented papers and provided the symposium with such a wealth of personal experience and up-to-date records of achievement in both the design of mass spectrometers and their use in the physical and chemical fields. Much better performance is obtained, particularly at high mass, using either a larger permanent magnet (4000 G) or an electro- magnet giving up to 9000 G. A further form of instrument design, originated by Mattauch and Herzog 7, provides first order double focusing for all radii of curva- ture in the magnetic field and, therefore, for all masses within the range of the instrument, simultaneously. combinations of C, H, Nand ° increases rapidly with mass, from 4 at mass 28 to over 100 at mass 200.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesHandbook of Laboratory Solutions 4/12/1967Some solutions have so many uses that it would be superfluous to include any. Many of the reagents used in science are in the form of solution, usually in water, but also in other solvents or mixtures of solvents. For convenience in weighing they should, for preference, be solids and should have the following characteristics: they must be obtainable in a very pure state; readily soluble in the solvent to be used; stable and unchanged in air at ordinary or moderate temperatures; of reasonably high formula weight and, preferably, colourless in solution. This washing and draining process is repeated with another 5 ml and the burette is filled with the solution to a point about I em above the zero mark. A suitable quantity of indicator is added to the solution in the flask and, after taking the reading on the burette, the solution is run from it into the flask.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesOils, Detergents and Maintenance Specialties, Volume 1, Materials and Processes 2/7/1967It is to be noted that with the exception of castor oil (ricinolein), none of the neutral fats or oils is soluble in alcohol. The distinction between fats and oils is a purely arbitrary one, based on their physical state at ordinary temperatures, the oils being liquid and the fats, pasty or solid. This oil is used for finishing fine leathers and oiling delicate machinery. Combined with light mineral oil, it is used as a basis for knitting oils, and as a stainless oil for hosiery knitting needles, because it can readily be washed out. Besides the oil produced by crushing, pressing or extraction, the most important product of usable seeds is the meal.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesOils, Detergents and Maintenance Specialties, Volume 2, Formulary 2/7/1967They are immiscible with water, and lighter than water, which gives them a dispensing advantage in three-phase aerosol systems. This mixture was proposed but not used. Hydrocarbons can be used in the non-foaming propellent emulsions where the proportion of water is high enough to minimize the flammabi- lity. Many other propellents are used in aerosols, e.g., carbon dioxide, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, isobutane, isopentane, etc. A void contact wth the eyes; if any should enter the eye, wash~thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and call a physician.

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Equipment for the Chemical IndustryPractical Manual of Chemical Plant Equipment 1/5/1967This complete manual of commonly used chemical plant equip- ment has been written for the chemist, engineer, operator, or mechanic entering the chemical industry. The manual is designed to explain the principles of operation; advantages and disadvantages of the different types of equipment; terminology used in the industry; and some of the important basic operating theories and practices. When first viewed, most chemical plants are a confusing maze of pipe, valves, pumps, columns, tanks, and other equipment that ap- pear to be impossible to understand. The pur- pose of this manual is to provide knowledge of the commonly used equipment and terminology so that the new man can be relieved of much of his initial mental confusion. These mechanical methods generally leave from 2 % to 50 % liquid with the solids, which must be removed by some type of dryer.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Analytical ChemistryASTM DS25A – COMPILATION OF GAS CHROMATOGRAPHIC DATA – Second Edition 1967Introduction For the past several years an increasing amount of gas chromatographic data has been published for a wide variety of materials.A system for compiling published data as well as privately generated data was developed by the Gas Chromatography Subcommittee of the Tennessee Eastman Company Analytical Committee[1]1 Data are coded in a standard form and are stored in IBM cards.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Analytical ChemistryHandbook of Differential Thermal Analysis 8/14/1966We have chosen to lean toward the latter, with an attempt occasionally to be critical, be- cause we believe that with such a wide interest in differential ther- mal analysis this approach will produce a book which will be useful to a greater number of people. This book is meant to introduce differential thermal analysis to those that are not familiar with the method, and sufficient references are given for those that wish to dig deeper and to study the original papers. This constant includes the gradient due to the parts of the calorimeter, as well as that due to the material under analysis. Secondly, it should have thermal characteristics as similar as possible to those of the sample. By altering the degree of packing of the sample with respect to that of the inert substance they felt that differences in thermal conductivity between the two could be minimized.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/CoatingsThe Physical Chemistry of Paints 9/3/1965The ions do not. exist in pairs but pack together in a manner largely determined by their relative volumes. If hydrogen bonding or van der Waals forces exist between atoms in such a way as to cause a regular repeating arrangement to exist, then the substance is crystalline. If two liquids are mixed and distilled, the boiling point of the mixture will normally rise from that of the first liquid to that of the other, and by the use of efficient fractionating coluums pure samples of each may be ob- tained. Returning to the liquid sample, it will be seen that the cohesion forces in the bulk of a liquid operate in all directions, but those at the surface cannot act outwards, as there are virtually no molecules with which to cohere. It has been suggested that this is because the concen\ration of the solute is different at the surface from that in the bulk of liquid.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Analytical ChemistryCommercial Methods of Analysis 8/16/1964In order to make the book of more universal use, standard methods, such as those given in the “Methods of Analysis of the American Society for Testing Materials” and the “Methods of Analysis of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists,” have in many cases been introduced, though often not in the exact words of these methods. If the purpose is to present a comparison with a competitor’s product, the approach is not the same as it is if the analysis is to serve as the basis of determining whether the product is of good quality, and that in turn differs from an analysis for the purpose of permitting manufacture of a similar product. Large samples that give bulky precipitates and are usually unwieldy all through the analysis should be avoided. These need not be purchased with a National Bureau of Standards certifi- cate but should be checked as to accuracy by the user, by methods available in detail elsewhere. The colorimetric determination of pH of a solu- tion varies in sensitivity and accuracy .from mere approximation with an indicator or indicator paper, through high accuracy by comparison with a series of buffers containing the indicator, to methods in slightly buffered solutions where the buffer effect of the indicator is taken into account.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesIndustrial Waxes, Vol.1, Natural and Synthetic Waxes 9/16/1963Combinations of different waxes and of waxes with other materials are commonly used to obtain special effects. On the other hand, wool wax, derived from lanolin, is technically a wax but, because of its properties, it is usually considered with fats. Waxes are usually compounded with other waxes and/or with resins, elastomers, fillers, and other substances to modify their prop- erties. As they are by-products of petroleum refining the prices of paraffin waxes usually are relativellow. Clark and Smith1 reported hydro- carbons ranging from C 21H 44 to C57H ll6, but it appears that they were including high-melting paraffin waxes (up to 150°F and higher) in their discussion.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesMicrodiffusion Analysis and Volumetric Error 9/11/1963Theoretical curves and experimental data illustrating the variable error in titrating 1 m1. acid with 1 ml. of carbon dioxide free alkali from 2 m1. With the standard unit, the accuracy of ammonia and conse- quently, of urea and other determinations, is limited only by the accuracy of delivering and titrating fluid volumes of the order of 1 ml. With the development of the titration principles described in the text, this accuracy can be brought to any desirable level in practice, so that with comparative ease the percentage error need not exceed that for ordinary macro titrations on the 25 ml. level. During the de- velopment of this technique the more general question of the error involved in volumetric procedure was studied firstly in order to compare the error of the new technique with those already estab- lished. There is a . micril ‘ level, however, above which there is little or no practical value in increasing the concentration (taking certain standard pre- cautions of acidimetric micro-titration), and this for ammonia is approximately 10 ‘ micrils ” though at 1 ‘micril ‘ the error need not exceed 2%.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesPractical and Industrial Formulary 9/10/1962When solution is complete, add the other half of the glycerin and shake well. The pine oil increases the transparency of the finished product, and the o.phenylphenol im- parts germicidal properties to it. Use about 2 oz of this cleaner to a gallon of water for cleaning bath· room fioors, linoleum, tile, etc. the hydroxide solution and add this solution slowly, with constant stir- ring, to the oleic acid mixture. Have the molds oiled with mineral oil, stir and pour the mix- ture into the molds and allow them to cool.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Plastics, Polymers and ElastomersIntroduction to Natural and Synthetic Rubbers 7/28/1961The object of this book is to explain what these various rubbers are, how they behave, and why they behave as they do. Fresneau was also a keen naturalist and in- terested in rubber. It can be safely said that the rapid growth of the motor-car industry would not have been possible without the pneumatic rubber tyre; and as rubber aided the growth of the motor industry the motor car assisted the growth of rubber production. Resilience is studied under the heading of ‘Dynamic properties’, not only because the springing back may be thought of as rubber in motion, but also because the resilience of a rubber is very important when the rubber is in continuous movement. The answer seemed to be that whereas isoprene has only eight atoms of hydrogen and five of carbon, rubber has many more than this but the hydrogen and carbon atoms are in the ratio of eight to five.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Equipment for the Chemical IndustryEquipment Design 1959Regardless of the nature of the application of the vessel. a number of factors usually must be considered in designing the unit. The most economical design for a c10scd vessel operating at atmospheric pressure is the verti- cal cylindrical tank with a conical roof and a flat bottom rcsting directly on the bearing soil of a foundation com- posed of sand, gravel, 01′ crushed rock. If domed roofs are used, pressures from 2H to 15 lb per sq in. gage may be permitted. Designed for 2~ Ib per Iq In. gage working pressure. However, if the vessel is designed to meet code requirement.s, the procedure specified in the codes must be used.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Pharmaceuticals and BiotechNew Unguent Bases and Lotions 2/1/1957It is, therefore, of obvious importance that the physician should be well informed of the various lotions and unguent vehicles that are available and the proper- ties they possess. Therefore, polyethylene glycols, which vary from liquids to hard waxy solids, are well suited for use in unguent bases and lotions. Being water soluble, they do not interfere with washability of the unguent base. The washable unguent bases and lotions, which are the oil-in- water types, have many advantages over most others. The unguent bases and lotions which are to serve as vehicles for an antibiotic should be special- ly adapted to conform with its behavior.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/General Chemistry and Chemical Engineering ReferencesNew Practical Formulary 11/9/1955Wood, be- sides being mechanically weaker than metals, is liable to swell when in contact with water solutions; it is subject to attack by fungi. The oil bath is similar to the water bath and differs from it only in that instead of water various oils are used in the larger vessel. This is a process of mixing liquids that do not mix spontaneously, such as oil and water. Repeated tests show that a mix- ture of equal parts of copper sulfate and calcium carbonate is more ef- fective in the control of smut as a dust than in solution. Mix thoroughly all the ingredi- ents and prepare the cement by stir- ring it into a paste with water.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Catalysis and Reaction EngineeringIndustrial Fermentations 2/7/1954More commonly, in industrial fermentation processes, the products of chemical action excreted from the cells as a result of endoenzyme action are isolated for practical uses. The best-known chemical product obtained industrially by fermentation, and the one of largest volume, is ethyl alcohol, but other fermentation chemicals, including n-butyl alcohol, acetone, lactic acid, citric acid, sorbose, gluconic acid, itaconic acid, glycerol, 2,3-butanediol, riboflavin and other vitamins, penicillin and other antibiotics, various enzymes, and other substances, are or have been also produced on commercial or pilot-plant scale. An increasing tendency to utilize molasses for fermentation in the countries where it is produced may decrease its availibility in other countries which import molasses. Fermentation industries are, in many cases, faced with severe competition by synthetic processes for the production of the same chemicals. Due to the physiological conditions under which fermentation takes place, it is not necessary to resort to the drastic procedures used. with fermentations such as those producing butyl alcohol or penicillin.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Organic ChemicalsToxicity of Industrial Organic Solvents 10/15/1953THE following Report summarizes the existing available information about the effects on animals and man of the various solvents used in industry. In a Milan raincoat factory, where three fatal cases occurred, Pugliese (1922) found 1,000 p. p.m.; in the printing works referred to by Saita and Dompe (1947) they found the con- centration of benzol varied from 188 to 908 p.p.m. In the National Safety Council Report of 1926, examination of the air of 18 different workrooms, representative of the various processes in which benzol is used in rubber, artificial leather, wire insulating, dry cleaning, and sanitary can manufacture, revealed a very wide variation of its benzol content, 0 to 4,140 p.p.m., the latter in a dry cleaning process during the summer when no other solvent than benzol was used. The Report concludes that “rooms in which benzol is evaporated into the air without local exhaust ventilation will in most cases show high concentration of the fumes in the air of the rooms. The loss of weight of the animal foiIowing repeated injections was less than with any of the other solvents except xylene–an average of 4 per cent as compared with 26 per cent for benzene, 6 per cent for toluene, and 3 per cent for xylene. The liver showed periportal focal necrosis in contradistinction to the more central focal necrosis produced by the other solvents; the kidney lesions varied from a diffuse cloudy swelling to a mild diffuse nephritis; and the spleen showed some congestion and hyperplasia of the Malpighian corpuscles, but much less pigmentation than with the other solvents.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Analytical ChemistryManual of Spectroscopy 2/10/1949When viewed through a spectroscope this light will be seen to consist, not of a single color, but of sev- eral; for the instrument sorts out the different colors of the light source and shows each as a brightly colored line. In the case of hydrogen the lines will be red, blue and violet, and they are said to comprise the hydrogen spectrum, or the visible portion of it, for there are also ultraviolet and infrared lines. Mathematical formulae for these series have been developed by which, if a few spectral lines of an element are known, the wave-lengths of the other spectral lines of the series may be predicted. In general the arc lines will be stronger than the spark lines-the sodium doublet, for instance, is ten times as strong in arc as in spark spectra; occasionally, how- ever, a spark line will be stronger than the corresponding arc line. For instance, if a bright line appears in the instrument at scale reading 5.5 the wave-length, as determined by going up line 5.5 to the curve and then follow- ing the horizontal line to the left, is 46.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/Membrane and Separation TechnologyDistillation and Rectification  کتاب‌ های الکترونیکی تخصصی2/4/1948He also included a resume on the American practice and recent develop- ments in distillation and rectification technique. Thus the benzol concentration in the vapor increases as pressure decreases. In the case of an ideal mixture of two liquids, the partial vapor pressure of each substance should be directly proportional to its concentration in the liquid, if the boiling temperature is constant.  . The boiling-point curve shows, for instance, that there are two liquid mixtures that boil at 110°C, one containing 11 mol per cent, and the other containing S3 mol per cent HNOa, pro- ducing vapors containing respectively 1.S mol per cent HNOa, and 90 mol per cent of HNOa. Not only does the vapor isothermal for IJ = 1000 e pass through point H but also a liquid isothermal for a tempera- ture 1  2•  Therefore, H may also be considered as a possible condition for the liquid state.
