If a waste sulfuric acid regeneration plant is not available, eg, as part of a joint acrylate—methacrylate manufacturing complex, the preferred catalyst for esterification is a sulfonic acid type ion-exchange resin. In this case the residue from the ester reactor bleed stripper can be disposed of by combustion to recover energy value as steam. 

Potassium biduoride crystals may break down to a fine white powder that is readily airborne. In this form, the salt is quite irritating to the nasal passages, eyes, and skin. Therefore, the hands and eyes should be protected and acid dust masks should be worn while handling, as an acid duoride KHF2 can cause superficial hydroduoric acid-type bums. Areas of skin that have been in contact with potassium biduoride should be washed as soon as possible with mildly alkaline soaps or borax-containing hand cleaners. If there has been contact with the eyes, they should be washed well with water and a physician should be consulted. 

Acidic Cation-Exchange Resins. Brmnsted acid catalytic activity is responsible for the successful use of acidic cation-exchange resins, which are also soHd acids. Cation-exchange catalysts are used in esterification, acetal synthesis, ester alcoholysis, acetal alcoholysis, alcohol dehydration, ester hydrolysis, and sucrose inversion. The soHd acid type permits simplified procedures when high boiling and viscous compounds are involved because the catalyst can be separated from the products by simple filtration. Unsaturated acids and alcohols that can polymerise in the presence of proton acids can thus be esterified directiy and without polymerisation. 

Colorless dyes of the chlorinated diphenyl ether—ureasulfonic acid type (Mitin [3567-25-7] (158)) and the (polychloro-2-chloromethylsulfonamido)-diphenyl ether type (Eulan (159)) appHed at 1—3% of the fabric weight are the most widely used during the fabrication of woolens. They cannot be removed by dry cleaning and provide protection from fabric pests over the lifetime of the product. 

Weak and strong acid-type resins are for removal of cations and are called cation exchangers. Weak and strong base resins remove anions and are called anion exchangers. In addition to these four resin types, there are specialty resins used in appHcations where higher specificity for certain ions under challenging conditions is a critical factor. 

Strong" Acid Cation Excha.ngers. AH strong acid-type resins are made from styrene—DVB copolymers, with the exception of a minor quantity of phenoHc resin. Batch sulfonation using commercial strength sulfuric acid [8014-95-1] is common. 

Uses. The principal use of monosodium phosphate is as a water-soluble soHd acid and pH buffer, primarily in acid-type cleaners. The double salt, NaH2P04 H PO, referred to as hemisodium orthophosphate or sodium hemiphosphate, is often generated in situ from monosodium phosphate and phosphoric acid in these types of formulations. Mixtures of mono- and disodium phosphates are used in textile processing, food manufacture, and other industries to control pH at 4—9. Monosodium phosphate is also used in boiler-water treatment, as a precipitant for polyvalent metal ions, and as an animal-feed supplement. 

The thiophthalimide (CTP) and sulfenamide classes of retarders differ from the organic acid types by thek abiUty to retard scorch (onset of vulcanization) without significantly affecting cure rate or performance properties. Much has been pubUshed on the mechanism of CTP retardation. It functions particularly well with sulfenamide-accelerated diene polymers, typically those used in the the industry. During the initial stages of vulcanization, sulfenamides decompose to form mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and an amine. The MBT formed reacts with additional sulfenamide to complete the vulcanization process. If the MBT initially formed is removed as soon as it forms, vulcanization does not occur. It is the role of CTP to remove MBT as it forms. The retardation effect is linear with CTP concentration and allows for excellent control of scorch behavior.

Mineral acids are used as catalysts, usually in a concentration of 20— 40 wt % and temperatures of 30—60°C. An efficient surfactant, preferably one that is soluble in the acid-phase upon completion of the reaction, is needed to emulsify the a-pinene and acid. The surfactant can then be recycled with the acid. Phosphoric acid is the acid commonly used in the pine oil process. Its mild corrosion characteristics and its moderate strength make it more manageable, especially because the acid concentration is constandy changing in the process by the consumption of water. Phosphoric acid is also mild enough to prevent any significant dehydration of the alcohols formed in the process. Optimization of a process usually involves considerations of acid type and concentration, temperature, surfactant type and amount, and reaction time. The optimum process usually gives a maximum of alcohols with the minimum amount of hydrocarbons and cineoles. 

Curing Catalysts for A Methylol Agents. Many acid-type catalysts have been used in finishing formulations to produce a durable press finish. Catalyst selection must take into consideration not only achievement of the desked chemical reaction, but also such secondary effects as influence on dyes, effluent standards, formaldehyde release, discoloration of fabric, chlorine retention, and formation of odors. In much of the industry, the chemical suppher specifies a catalyst for the agent so the exact content of the catalyst may not be known by the finisher. 

Table 1 Hsts the polyether antibiotics arranged by the number of carbons in the skeleton. Many of these compounds were isolated independendy in separate laboratories and thus have more than one designation. The groups are subdivided depending on the number of spiroketals. Two classes fall outside this scheme the pyrrole ether type containing a heterocycHc ring, and the acyltetronic acid type, that has an acyHdene tetronic acid instead of a carboxyHc acid. These compounds are ionophores and because of their common features are included as polyethers.

Esterification. Citric acid is easily esterified with many alcohols under a2eotropic conditions in the presence of a catalyst such as sulfuric acid, / -toluenesulfonic acid, or sulfonic acid-type ion-exchange resin. Alcohols boiling above 150°C esterify citric acid without a catalyst (5—8). 

The anthraquinones are useful in acrylics and are compatible with polystyrene and ceUulosics. Solvent Red 111 has a special affinity for poly(methyl methacrylate) as the red in automobile taillights exposure for a year in Florida or Arizona produces only a very slight darkening. Acid types are usehil for phenohcs (see Dyes, anthraquinone). 

Eor heavy shades, monosulfonic acid types are preferred to obtain the necessary buUdup on the nylon. In case the nylon remains lighter than the wool, a smaU amount of disperse dye is added to the dyebath to buUd up the depth on this fiber. 

Enzymatic stone-washing is performed either entirely without stones or sometimes by a combination of stones and enzymes. CeUulases are used to attack the surface of the cellulose fiber, but leave the interior intact. Denim garments are dyed with indigo blue, which stays on the surface of the yam. The ceUulase partiy hydrolyzes the surface of the fiber, and the indigo blue is partiy removed. Either neutral-type ceUulases acting at pH 6—8 or acid-type ceUulases acting at pH 4—5 are used for these processes. 

Cracking, a rupturing of carbon-carbon bonds—for example, of gas oils to gasohne—is favored by sihca-alumina, zeolites, and acid types generally. Zeohtes have pores with small and narrow size distribution. They crack only molecules small enough to enter the pores. To restrain the undesirable formation of carbon and C3-C4 hydrocarbons, zeolite activity is reduced by dilution to 10 to 15 percent in silica-alumina. 

Polymerization of olefins such as styrene is promoted by acid or base or sodium catalysts, and polyethylene is made with homogeneous peroxides. Condensation polymerization is catalyzed by acid-type catalysts such as metal oxides and sulfonic acids. Addition polymerization is used mainly for olefins, diolefins, and some carbonyl compounds. For these processes, initiators are coordination compounds such as Ziegler-type catalysts, of which halides of transition metals Ti, V, Mo, and W are important examples.

There is some confusion in using Bayes rule on what are sometimes called explanatory variables. As an example, we can try to use Bayesian statistics to derive the probabilities of each secondary structure type for each amino acid type, that is p( x r), where J. is a, P, or Y (for coil) secondary strucmres and r is one of the 20 amino acids. It is tempting to writep( x r) = p(r x)p( x)lp(r) using Bayes rule. This expression is, of course, correct and can be used on PDB data to relate these probabilities. But this is not Bayesian statistics, which relate parameters that represent underlying properties with (limited) data that are manifestations of those parameters in some way. In this case, the parameters we are after are 0 i(r) = p( x r). The data from the PDB are in the form of counts for y i(r), the number of amino acids of type r in the PDB that have secondary structure J.. There are 60 such numbers (20 amino acid types X 3 secondary structure types). We then have for each amino acid type a Bayesian expression for the posterior distribution for the values of xiiry.
