Active ingredients, concentration

Diffusion effects can be expected in reactions that are very rapid. A great deal of effort has been made to shorten the diffusion path, which increases the efficiency of the catalysts. Pellets are made with all the active ingredients concentrated on a thin peripheral shell and monoliths are made with very thin washcoats containing the noble metals. In order to convert 90% of the CO from the inlet stream at a residence time of no more than 0.01 sec, one needs a first-order kinetic rate constant of about 230 sec-1. When the catalytic activity is distributed uniformly through a porous pellet of 0.15 cm radius with a diffusion coefficient of 0.01 cm2/sec, one obtains a Thiele modulus y> = 22.7. This would yield an effectiveness factor of 0.132 for a spherical geometry, and an apparent kinetic rate constant of 30.3 sec-1 (106). 

The actual application rate should be calculated based on output, the active ingredient concentration, and the application time or land area covered. Once the plot has been treated, the amount of product or spray volume remaining should be checked as verification of the application rate. 

The receipt of the test substance should be documented upon arrival at the test site. The name of the product, manufacturer, active ingredient concentration, expiration date, storage location, storage requirements, lot or batch number, the amount received, the condition at receipt, and whether the material is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC), fiowable, powder or otherwise should be noted in the research notebook. In addition, one should note the purchase date, the shipment date, and the carrier of the product. 

Figure 8 shows another experimental formula with a different solvent system. The active ingredient concentration is at a lower (200 gram/liter) level, also. The emulsifier levels tried here are higher and the resulting response surface has a broader shape. 

From the total sample set (48 samples), 45 samples were used as calibration samples. The three samples excluded from the calibration set were selected on the basis of a representative variation of their active ingredient concentrations, and finally used as unknown test samples to predict the content of their active ingredients. Partial least squares (PLS) models for each active ingredient were developed with the Unscrambler Software (version 9.6 CAMO Software AS, Oslo, Norway) from the MSC-pretreated median spectra of all pixels of each of the 45 calibration sample images. Based on these calibration models, the predictions of the active ingredient content for each pixel of the imaging data of the three test samples and their evaluation as histograms, contour plots and RGB plots was performed with Matlab v. 7.0.4 software (see below). 

Akcros Chemicals makes Intercide ZNP, containing zinc omadine. In fact, a range of products are available, tailored to meet the requirements of customers in terms of active ingredient concentration and carrier material. 

The quantile-BEAST algorithm is a nonparametric bootstrap method based upon the work of Efron. In the 1988 study, four individual benzoic acid derivatives were analyzed as were mixtures of the four derivatives. The active ingredient concentrations were varied between 0 and 25% of the sample, with aluminum oxide used as a diluent. The samples were ground and passed through a 100-mesh screen prior to analysis. Spectra were collected in triplicate at three wavelengths on an InfraAlyzer 400. 

Aetive ingredient concentration in a product containing a liquid active will range from about 10% w/w to about 50% w/w. In order to have a freely flowing product the active ingredient concentration will be no more than about 25% if the earrier is a mineral. Above this concentration synthetic silica carriers will be utilized. 

Higher active ingredient concentration means a smaller solvent amount - greater safety to your plants. 

Product Concentrate. An aerosol s product concentrate contains the active ingredient and any solvent or filler necessary. Various propellent and valve systems, which must consider the solvency and viscosity of the concentrate—propellent blend, may be used to deUver the product from the aerosol container. Systems can be formulated as solutions, emulsions, dispersions, or pastes. 

Solutions. To dehver a spray, the formulated aerosol product should be as homogeneous as possible. That is, the active ingredients, the solvent, and the propellant should form a solution. Because the widely used halocarbon and hydrocarbon propellants do not always have the desired solubiUty characteristics for all the components in the product concentrate, special formulating techniques using solvents such as alcohols (qv), acetone (qv), and glycols (qv), are employed. 

Neutralizing Lotion. The principal active ingredient of cold wave neutralizers is usually an oxidizing agent. The most popular is hydrogen peroxide [7722-84-1J, employed at a concentration of 1—2% it continues to find widespread use. Aqueous solutions of sodium bromate [7789-38-0] at a concentration of 10—20% occasionally are used and are technically preferred over the peroxide formulations because of excellent stabiUty and absence of hair bleaching. Neutralizing powders appear to be on the decline but formulations stiU in use consist of sodium perborate [7632-04-4] combined with hexametaphosphates to improve solubiUty in hard water. 

The main purpose of pesticide formulation is to manufacture a product that has optimum biological efficiency, is convenient to use, and minimizes environmental impacts. The active ingredients are mixed with solvents, adjuvants (boosters), and fillers as necessary to achieve the desired formulation. The types of formulations include wettable powders, soluble concentrates, emulsion concentrates, oil-in-water emulsions, suspension concentrates, suspoemulsions, water-dispersible granules, dry granules, and controlled release, in which the active ingredient is released into the environment from a polymeric carrier, binder, absorbent, or encapsulant at a slow and effective rate. The formulation steps may generate air emissions, liquid effluents, and solid wastes. 

The active ingredients of the promoter are typically the platinum group metals. The platinum, in the concentration of 300 ppm to 800... 

The most successful class of active ingredient for both oxidation and reduction is that of the noble metals silver, gold, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum. Platinum and palladium readily oxidize carbon monoxide, all the hydrocarbons except methane, and the partially oxygenated organic compounds such as aldehydes and alcohols. Under reducing conditions, platinum can convert NO to N2 and to NH3. Platinum and palladium are used in small quantities as promoters for less active base metal oxide catalysts. Platinum is also a candidate for simultaneous oxidation and reduction when the oxidant/re-ductant ratio is within 1% of stoichiometry. The other four elements of the platinum family are in short supply. Ruthenium produces the least NH3 concentration in NO reduction in comparison with other catalysts, but it forms volatile toxic oxides.
