Other wastes that are typical of a refinery include (1) waste oils, process chemicals, and still resides (2) nonspecification chemicals and/or products (3) waste alkali (sodium hydroxide) (4) waste oil sludge (from interceptors, tanks, and lagoons) and (5) solid wastes (cartons, rags, catalysts, and coke). 

Heat a little sodium chloride in a platinum crucible to bright redness, and add a couple of drops of water to the hot crucible so that the water assumes the spheroidal state. In a moment, transfer the water to a beaker containing a faintly coloured soln. of blue litmus —the litmus is reddened, showing the presence of an acid—hydrochloric acid. The salt remaining in the crucible is dissolved in water, and it turns red litmus blue, showing the presence of an alkali—sodium hydroxide. There appears to be a reaction NaCl+H20 NaOH +HC1, and the water abstracts the more volatile hydrogen chloride. 

Transparent brown iron oxides are produced by precipitating iron(II) salt solutions with dilute alkali (sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate) and oxidizing with air. Only two-thirds of the precipitated iron hydroxide, oxide hydrate, or carbonate is oxidized. Alternatively, the iron oxides can be produced by complete oxidation of... 

Finally, this is reacted with the alkali sodium hydroxide, NaOH. 

In the process, miscella leaves the extractor at about 30-35 percent oil and is concentrated to approximately 65 percent oil by evaporation. The FFA in the concentrate then is reacted with alkali (sodium hydroxide solution) to produce soaps that are removed with other water-soluble compounds by centrifugation. Next, the solvent is removed from the miscella-refined oil by further evaporation, and the soapstock is spread on the meal in the DT to recover its solvent. Hexane vapors from the miscella and the DT are condensed, and the solvent is recycled to the extractor for reuse. The noncondensable gases are passed through a mineral oil stripper to recover the last traces of hexane. 

In order for starch molecules to become detached from one another, they must be hydrated, a process accomplished in water slurry by using either thermal or chemical energy. Only then will the molecules be separated and uncoiled enough to be able to latch onto other separate particles and act as an adhesive. The most common form of chemical hydration of starch is through the use of aqueous alkali. Sodium hydroxide is capable of hydrating starch molecules without heat, but a specific minimum concentration must be reached for that to occur (2). 

Saponification is a chemical process in which an ester is heated with aqueous alkali (sodium hydroxide) to form an alcohol and the sodium salt of the acid corresponding to the ester. The sodium salt formed is called soap. 

The researcher has no need to determine the sequence in pBluescript, as its sequence is knovvn with certainty. The template DNA is briefly exposed to mild alkali (sodium hydroxide) in order to separate the two complementary strands of the double-stranded plasmid. Without alkali-treatment, the primer would rot be able to bind to the correct starting place. Alkali treatment converts the double-... 

Caustic Alkali Sodium hydroxide solution from the decomposer of the amalgam process usually has a concentration of 50% and a chloride content of only 5-50 mg kg-1. It is cooled down from 80-120 °C to 40-60 °C in steel pipes, Ni-, or Incolloy coolers. Any particles of graphite from the decomposer material or traces of mercury are removed by centrifuges, candle filters, or precoated leaf filters. 

The tertiary nature of the nitrogen in this strong base is demonstrated by its quantitative reaction with one mole of alkyl halide (methyl iodide (21), ethyl iodide (14) ) with the formation of quaternary salts. Secondly, the isolation of methylamine as one of the products of fusion of tropine with alkali (sodium hydroxide (22), barium hydroxide (14) ) suggests the... 

Alkali. Sodium hydroxide and aqueous ammonia cause extensive swelling and separation of structural elements, and lead to the formation of cellulose II whose X-ray pattern differs considerably that of from cellulose I. Five to six grams of sodium hydroxide per 100 grams of wood seem to be necessary for the maxlmun effect (24, 25). This level of alkali Is essentially equivalent to the combined acetyl and carbonyl contents of wood. This leads to the... 

Opposed to the acids is another group of substances called bases, (Strong bases are termed alkalis.) These are also chemically active, taste bitter, change dye colors in a fashion opposite to that induced by acids, and so on. In particular, solutions of acids will neutralize solutions of bases. In other words, if acids and bases are mixed in proper proportions, then the mixture will show the property of neither acids nor bases. The mixture will be, instead, a solution of a salt, which, in general, is a much milder chemical than either an acid or a base. Thus, a solution of the strong and caustic acid, hydrochloric acid, if mixed with the proper amount of the strong and caustic alkali, sodium hydroxide, will be-... 

Corrosives damage by chemical destruction of the tissue they contact. Strong acids (hydrochloric, nitric and sulfuric) or alkalis (sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide) can cause corrosive bums. Alkalis can cause progressive bums, meaning the injury increases as the alkali moves through the damaged tissue. This is especially critical in injuries to the eye, where delicate tissues can be damaged little by little until vision is destroyed. The severity of a corrosive bum depends on ...

Oils are derived from petroleum (mineral oils) or fi-om plants or animals (fixed oils). Mineral oils are classified according to soince (type of crude), refining process (distillate or residual), and commercial use. The commercial mineral oil base products consist mainly of saturated hydrocarbons (even though naphthene-base crudes are predominantly unsaturated) in the form of chain or ring molecules that are chemically inactive and do not have polar heads. These commercial products may or may not contain waxes, volatile compounds, fixed oils, and special-purpose additives. Fixed oils and fats differ from mineral oils in that they consist of an alcohol radical and a fatty-acid radical, can be reacted with an alkali (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, for example) to form glycerin or soap, cannot be distilled without decomposing, and contain 9 to 12.5% oxygen. All fixed oils are insoluble in water and, except for castor oil, are insoluble in alcohol at room temperature.
