Basic quench

By a basic quench the removal of catalyst fines and ammonia take place separately. Due to the neutral pH in the first stage the loss in acrylonitrile is higher than previously. On the contrary, the production of ammonium sulfate is increased. 

Alkali metal haHdes can be volatile at incineration temperatures. Rapid quenching of volatile salts results in the formation of a submicrometer aerosol which must be removed or else exhaust stack opacity is likely to exceed allowed limits. Sulfates have low volatiHty and should end up in the ash. Alkaline earths also form basic oxides. Calcium is the most common and sulfates are formed ahead of haHdes. Calcium carbonate is not stable at incineration temperatures (see Calcium compounds). Transition metals are more likely to form an oxide ash. Iron (qv), for example, forms ferric oxide in preference to haHdes, sulfates, or carbonates. SiHca and alumina form complexes with the basic oxides, eg, alkaH metals, alkaline earths, and some transition-metal oxidation states, in the ash. 

Spinnerette Process. The basic spinning process is similar to the production of continuous filament yams and utilizes similar extmder conditions for a given polymer (17). Fibers are formed as the molten polymer exits the >100 tiny holes (ca 0.2 mm) of each spinnerette where it is quenched by chilled air. Because a key objective of the process is to produce a relatively wide (eg, 3 m) web, individual spinnerettes are placed side by side in order that sufficient fibers be generated across the width. This entire grouping of spinnerettes is often called a block or bank, and in commercial production it is common for two or more blocks to be used in tandem in order to increase the coverage and uniformity of laydown of the fibers in the web. 

The ash content of furnace blacks is normally a few tenths of a percent but in some products may be as high as one percent. The chief sources of ash are the water used to quench the hot black from the reactors during manufacture and for wet pelletizing the black. The hardness of the water, and the amount used determines the ash content of the products. The ash consists principally of the salts and oxides of calcium, magnesium, and sodium and accounts for the basic pH (8—10) commonly found in furnace blacks. In some products potassium, in small amounts, is present in the ash content. Potassium salts are used in most carbon black manufacture to control stmcture and mbber vulcanizate modulus (22). The basic mineral salts and oxides have a slight accelerating effect on the vulcanization reaction in mbber. 

However, if one focuses on the adsorption of a fluid in heterogenous matrices [32,33] and/or on the fluctuations in an adsorbed fluid, it is inevitable to perform developments similar to those above in the grand canonical ensemble. Moreover, this derivation is of importance for the formulation of the virial route to thermodynamics of partially quenched systems. For this purpose, we include only some basic relations of this approach. 

Direct contact e.xchangers - used for cooling and quenching whenever the process stream and the coolant are compatible the equipment used is basically simple and cheap. 

Absorption and emission spectra of six 2-substituted imidazo[4,5-/]quinolines (R = H, Me, CH2Ph, Ph, 2-Py, R = H CH2Ph, R = Ph) were studied in various solvents. These studies revealed a solvent-independent, substituent-dependent character of the title compounds. They also exhibited bathochromic shifts in acidic and basic solutions. The phenyl group in the 2-position is in complete conjugation with the imidazoquinoline moiety. The fluorescence spectra of the compounds exhibited a solvent dependency, and, on changing to polar solvents, bathochromic shifts occur. Anomalous bathochromic shifts in water, acidic solution, and a new emission band in methanol are attributed to the protonated imidazoquinoline in the excited state. Basic solutions quench fluorescence (87IJC187). 

A mixture of 10 g of the above piperazine carboxylate ester, 8 g of phosphorus pentoxide and 20 ml of phosphorus oxychloride is heated under reflux for about 1 day, diluted with 100 ml each of chloroform and benzene and quenched with 200 g of ice. The mixture is made basic with 10% sodium hydroxide. Theorganic layer is Isolated and extracted with 150 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid. The product is precipitated from the aqueous layer by addition of 10% sodium hydroxide, extracted with benzene and dried over potassium carbonate. Recrystallization from benzene-petroleum ether gives 2[Pg.77]

In order to address the possible influence of positional disorder, we have chosen to analyze the way basic operations such as translations and rotations affect the properties calculated for highly symmetric configurations. This approach could provide guidelines to prevent the loss of significant optical coupling between the ground state and the lowest excited state, and hence the quenching of luminescence in the solid state. 

Although the C-3 stereocenter in 6 may be susceptible to epimer-ization in the presence of a basic organolithium reagent, enal 6 condenses smoothly in the desired and expected way with lithio sul-fone 5 at -78 °C to give, after quenching with acetic anhydride, a stereoisomeric mixture of acetoxy sulfones (see 35, Scheme 7). ( ,E,7f)-Triene 36 is then unveiled on reduction of the stereoisomeric acetoxy sulfones with 5 % sodium amalgam (77 % overall yield from 6).3... 

It has been shown in Chapter 5, the fluorescence quenching of the DPA moiety by MV2 + is very efficient in an alkaline solution [60]. On the other hand, Delaire et al. [124] showed that the quenching in an acidic solution (pH 1.5-3.0) was less effective (kq = 2.5 x 109 M 1 s 1) i.e., it was slower than the diffusion-controlled limit. They interpreted this finding as due to the reduced accessibility of the quencher to the DPA group located in the hydrophobic domain of protonated PMA at acidic pH. An important observation is that, in a basic medium, laser excitation of the PMAvDPA-MV2 + system yielded no transient absorption. This implies that a rapid back ET occurs after very efficient fluorescence quenching. 

To a solution of 0.18 g (1 mmol) of /V-benzylideneaniline in F.t,0 is added 0.194 g (1.1 mmol) of 9-(2-butenyl)-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (crotyl-9-BBN) at — 78 °C. The reaction is quenched at O C with several drops of coned [ICl. The mixture is stirred overnight at r.t.. and a 3 N aq soln of NaOH is added at 0°C to make the solution basic. The mixture is extracted twice with ht20. dried, condensed, and filtered through a short column of silica gel (hexane/Et20 10 1) to remove the 9-BBN residue. 

Equiv of the imine 2 is dissolved in the appropriate solvent and 1 cquiv of the silyl ketene acetal 1 is added, the mixture is cooled to —70 °C and 0.1 equiv of TMSTf is added. After 15 h the reaction is quenched with H.O. 10% aq NH40H is added to make the piT basic, and the reaction mixture is extracted with F.tOAc. The crude product (obtained after the usual workup) is subjected to silica gel chromatography (pet. cthcr/Et20) to give the pure /J-amino ester 3. 

These values equal 2.0, 1.05, and 0.5, respectively, for PP, DPAcN, and PPA. It is possible that the contribution of excited states caused by n - it transitions accounts basically for a bathochromic luminescence of some PCSs and for a shift of the maxima in the luminescence spectra of polymers of this kind when proceeding from the solution to the solid phase. PCS solutions reveal concentration-quenching accom-... 

Previous syntheses of terminal alkynes from aldehydes employed Wittig methodology with phosphonium ylides and phosphonates. 6 7 The DuPont procedure circumvents the use of phosphorus compounds by using lithiated dichloromethane as the source of the terminal carbon. The intermediate lithioalkyne 4 can be quenched with water to provide the terminal alkyne or with various electrophiles, as in the present case, to yield propargylic alcohols, alkynylsilanes, or internal alkynes. Enantioenriched terminal alkynylcarbinols can also be prepared from allylic alcohols by Sharpless epoxidation and subsequent basic elimination of the derived chloro- or bromomethyl epoxide (eq 5). A related method entails Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of an allylic chloride and base treatment of the acetonide derivative.8 In these approaches the product and starting material contain the same number of carbons. 

The basic reaction which is employed in the derivatization of the phosphoranimine monomers is the deprotonation of 11 with n-BuLi followed by quenching with various electrophiles (eq 4).
