Nature Identical Flavor Matenal A flavor ingredient obtained by synthesis, or isolated from natural products through chemical processes, chemically identical to the substance present in a natural product and intended for human consumption either processed or not eg, citral obtained by chemical synthesis or from oil of lemongrass through a bisulfite addition compound. 

In addition to chemical and spectral sensitizers, several other classes of chemical compounds are added to emulsions before coating. Additives are used to facihtate coating operations, eg, surfactants (qv) and viscosity enhancers to reduce spontaneous development ia unexposed regions, eg, tetraazaiadenes and mercaptotetrazoles and to reduce abrasion and permit high temperature processing, eg, aldehydes (qv). 

Further Modifications. There have been attempts to improve the pulp strength and decrease the energy requirement of the groundwood process by the addition of chemicals, eg, sodium carbonate or sodium sulfite. Although some benefits can be obtained, the additional costs and chemical disposal problems have not been justified. Presteaming of wood is practiced in Europe to add moisture and to soften the lignin, which is especially advantageous for certain hardwoods. 

Recycled paper contains more fines, short fibers, and anionic trash. This will increase demand for process chemicals such as drainage aids and both wet- and dry-strength additives (43). 

In-Plant Waste Control. Pollution can be reduced or eliminated by process modification, chemical and raw materials substitution, or recovery of by-products. In addition, process modification generally increases product yield by incorporating control devices. 

While the ambient-temperature operation of membrane processes reduces scaling, membranes are much more susceptible not only to minute amounts of scaling or even dirt, but also to the presence of certain salts and other compounds that reduce their ability to separate salt from water. To reduce corrosion, scaling, and other problems, the water to be desalted is pretreated. The pretreatment consists of filtration, and may include removal of air (deaeration), removal of CO2 (decarbonation), and selective removal of scale-forming salts (softening). It also includes the addition of chemicals that allow operation without scale deposition, or which retard scale deposition or cause the precipitation of scale which does not adhere to soHd surfaces, and that prevent foam formation during the desalination process. 

The cost of the chemicals used in electroless copper plating is very low, rarely exceeding 2.78/m, except for fully additive processes. The principal costs of printed circuit board production arise mainly from handling steps and other operations. 

Other polymers used in the PSA industry include synthetic polyisoprenes and polybutadienes, styrene-butadiene rubbers, butadiene-acrylonitrile rubbers, polychloroprenes, and some polyisobutylenes. With the exception of pure polyisobutylenes, these polymer backbones retain some unsaturation, which makes them susceptible to oxidation and UV degradation. The rubbers require compounding with tackifiers and, if desired, plasticizers or oils to make them tacky. To improve performance and to make them more processible, diene-based polymers are typically compounded with additional stabilizers, chemical crosslinkers, and solvents for coating. Emulsion polymerized styrene butadiene rubbers (SBRs) are a common basis for PSA formulation [121]. The tackified SBR PSAs show improved cohesive strength as the Mooney viscosity and percent bound styrene in the rubber increases. The peel performance typically is best with 24—40% bound styrene in the rubber. To increase adhesion to polar surfaces, carboxylated SBRs have been used for PSA formulation. Blends of SBR and natural rubber are commonly used to improve long-term stability of the adhesives. 

Technology Description Hydrolysis is the process of breaking a bond in a molecule (which is ordinarily not water-soluble) so that it will go into ionic solution with water. Hydrolysis can be achieved by the addition of chemicals (e.g., acid hydrolysis), by irradiation (e.g., photolysis) or by biological action (e.g., enzymatic bond cleavage). The cloven molecule can then be further treated by other means to reduce toxicity. 

Chemical precipitation Precipitation induced by addition of chemicals the process of softening water by the addition of lime and soda ash as the precipitants. Chloramines Compounds formed by the reaction of hypochlorous acid (or aqueous chlorine) with ammonia. 

Solid particles have a distinct form, which can strongly affect their appearance, product quality and processing behaviour. Thus, in addition to chemical composition, particulate solids have to be additionally characterized by particle size and shape. Furthermore, particles can be generated at any point within the process. For example, nucleation occurs within a crystallization process and large particles are broken down to numerous smaller ones in a comminution process or within a drier.
