Additives degradation-enhancing

Iron is added in small (usually 0.5—1.0 wt %) amounts to increase strength. More importantly, iron additions also enhance corrosion resistance, especially when precautions are taken to retain the iron in solution. Precipitation of the iron—nickel-rich phase does not result in strengthening and can cause degradation of corrosion resistance (47). A small (up to 1.0 wt %) amount of manganese is usually added to both react with sulfur and deoxidi2e the melt. These copper alloys are most commonly applied where corrosion resistance is paramount, as in condenser tube or heat exchangers. 

The mechanism of deprenyl s action is unclear. In addition to enhancing dopaminergic activity in the brain by inhibiting dopamine degradation, deprenyl is metabolized into various stimulant metabolites. In spontaneously hyperactive rats used in an animal model of ADHD, chronic deprenyl administration improved im-pulsivity (but not hyperactivity or attention) along with altering levels of noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin and their metabolites (Boix et ah, 1998). 

It is necessary to evaluate the injection homogeneity of a carbon source (cometabolite) for microbial degradation enhancement. It is injected electro-osmotically at 4 cm/day at 100 ppm with a homogeneous first-order rate constant for microbial degradation k = 0.1 day-1 (a 1-week half-life approx). AL = 1.00 cm, to obtain the steady-state concentration profile ofan additive to apenetration depth of 1 m. (Gale)...

Silanes have become widely accepted as primers in several adhesive systems to prevent degradation of bonded joints due to the ingress of water. These molecules contain hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties, and act as a coupling system between organic adhesives and metal or glass surfaces. In addition to enhancing adhesion, they provide resistance to hydrolytic degradation of adhesive bonds. The rate of hydrolysis of the primers on metal surfaces and catalysis by tin salts has been studied [33, 34].

Future Trends. In addition to the commercialization of newer extraction/ decantation product/catalyst separations technology, there have been advances in the development of high reactivity 0x0 catalysts for the conversion of low reactivity feedstocks such as internal and a-alkyl substituted a-olefins. These catalysts contain (as ligands) ortho-/-butyl or similarly substituted arylphosphites, which combine high reactivity, vastiy improved hydrolytic stabiUty, and resistance to degradation by product aldehyde, which were deficiencies of eadier, unsubstituted phosphites. Diorganophosphites (28), such as stmcture (6), have enhanced stabiUty over similarly substituted triorganophosphites.
