Acid composition production

Single-reaction-step processes have been studied. However, higher selectivity is possible by optimizing catalyst composition and reaction conditions for each of these two steps (40,41). This more efficient utilization of raw material has led to two separate oxidation stages in all commercial faciUties. A two-step continuous process without isolation of the intermediate acrolein was first described by the Toyo Soda Company (42). A mixture of propylene, air, and steam is converted to acrolein in the first reactor. The effluent from the first reactor is then passed directiy to the second reactor where the acrolein is oxidized to acryUc acid. The products are absorbed in water to give about 30—60% aqueous acryUc acid in about 80—85% yield based on propylene. 

There are physical—chemical differences between fats of the same fatty acid composition, depending on the placement of the fatty acids. For example, cocoa butter and mutton tallow share the same fatty acid composition, but fatty acid placement on the glycerin backbone yields products of very different physical properties. 

Legume forages, such as alfalfa or clover, are considered high quaHty, readily available protein sources. Animal sources of supplemental protein include meat and bone meal blood meal, 80% CP fish meal other marine products and hydroly2ed feathermeal, 85—90% CP. Additionally, synthetic amino acids are available commercially. Several sources (3,9,19) provide information about the protein or amino acid composition of feedstuffs. 

Proteins and Meals. Nutritional properties of the oilseed protein meals and their derived products are deterrnined by the amino acid compositions, content of biologically active proteins, and various nonprotein constituents found in the defatted meals. Phytic acid (3), present as salts in all four meals, is beheved to interfere with dietary absorption of minerals such as 2inc, calcium, and iron (67) (see Food toxicants, naturally occurring Mineral nutrients). ... 

Product Quality. Under ideal plant operating conditions, the quahty of products derived from continuous SO film sulfonator units is unlikely to be significantly different (1). Typical LAB sulfonic acid composition is ca 96.6% active sulfonic acid, 1.2% free oil, 1.2% H2SO4, and 1.0% water, the last added for stabilization purposes to break sulfonic acid anhydrides and pyro-acids (279). Klett color for a 5% active solution is typically 15—25.

The resin acids found in rosins are generally of the abietic- and pimaric-type. Rosins of various pine species differ in their content of abietic vs. pimaric-type acids. Rosins from species exhibiting high abietic-type acid compositions are preferred for production of rosin derivatives. However, the differences in properties of rosins are often associated with their non-resin acid content instead of their chemical compositions. On the other hand, the compositions of rosins from different sources greatly differ [22]. Table 8 shows a typical distribution of resin acids in rosins obtained from gum, tall oil and wood sources.

Exposures of 10 weeks (5 days/week) to 2,500 mg/kg/day trichloroethylene in com oil by gavage resulted in altered myelin thickness in the rat mental nerve, a branch of the trigeminal nerve (Barret et al. 1991). Effects of similar exposures on the rat trigeminal nerve included decreased fiber diameter and altered fatty acid composition in total lipid extracts, indicative of demyelination (Barret et al. 1992). Stronger effects were seen with the trichloroethylene decomposition product dichloroacetylene.

A dusting agent which is soluble in rubber and thus does not impair the vulcanised bond between rubber components of a composite product. It is also an activator combining the functions of zinc oxide and stearic acid, of particular value in transparent rubbers since it does not produce the same opacity as zinc oxide. 

Figure 12.9 Overview of the production of Refludan (recombinant hirudin). The exact details of many steps remain confidential for obvious commercial reasons. A number of QC checks are carried out on the final product to confirm the product s structure. These include amino acid composition, HPLC analysis and peptide mapping...
