Battelle Institute

As a result of development work between the Battelle Institute in Frankfurt and a German candle-making company, Aetema, biodegradable cellulose acetate compounds have been available since 1991 from the Rhone-Poulenc subsidiary Tubize Plastics. They are marketed under the trade names Bioceta and Biocellat. The system is centred round the use of an additive which acts both as a plasticiser and a biodegrading agent, causing the cellulose ester to decompose within 6-24 months.

Data on c clohexene and a pinene aerosols were reported by Schwartz after a preliminary report from the Battelle Institute group. The experimental conditions and analytic techniques were identical with those just described for the toluene aerosol study. Here again, only the methylene chloride-soluble, water-insoluble fractions were studied. They accounted for about 7% and 65% of the total aerosol mass generated from cyclohexene and a pinene, respectively. Grosjean (unpublished data) has investigated the chemical composition of cyclopentene, cyclohexene, and 1,7-octadiene aerosols. Experiments were conducted in an 80-m Teflon smog chamber filled with ambient air, with irradiation by...

This antiserum was used in the blind analysis of plasma samples from marijuana smokers. These samples were also analyzed by GC-MS at Battelle Institute. Regression analysis of the two sets of results showed good agreement RIA (ng/ml) = 1.2 GC + 0.14 with excellent correlation. Thus, the tritium labeled A8-THC combined with the antibody from the A9-immunogen is useful for the analysis of A9-THC in plasma.

Historically, Krukonis (29), in 1984, was the first to describe the application of the concept of supercritical micronization organic and inorganic materials. Later on, researchers of the Battelle Institute developed the first processes based on this concept (30,31). These investigators primarily focused on the formation of particles from various polymers. As mentioned, this process is undoubtedly the simplest supercritical technique, and that is why it has been tested on a number of pharmaceuticals including those that have a low solubility in pure carbon dioxide. In the 1990s many other processes emerged, as detailed in the sections that follow. 

In weiteren Arbeiten des Battelle-Instituts 37, 38, 40, 50 wurde der Reaktionsmechanismus untersucht. Alle Alkohole, Aldehyde, Ketone, Carbonsauren und Kohlenwasserstoffe mit bis zu vier Kohlenstoffatomen je Molekul (hohere wurden nicht untersucht) konnen unter bestimmten Bedingungen quantitativ zu Kohlendioxid umgesetzt werden. Von der Kohlenwasserstoff-Anode werden keine Zwischenprodukte desorbiert, so daB der Elektrolyt unverandert und die Sauerstoff-Elektrode unbeein-fluBt bleiben.

Im Jahre 1962 wurde vom Battelle-Institut, Frankfurt/Main, gezeigt, daB Kohlenwasserstoffe auf dem Wege iiber die Konvertierung mit Wasserdampf oder Kohlendioxid quantitativ umgesetzt werden konnen imd daB sich die der Konvertierung entsprechende Gleichgewichtsspannung auch an den Elektroden einstellt (vgl. Abb. 24).

Ad van der Avoird studied chemical engineering at the Technical University in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, from 1959 to 1964. From 1964 to 1967 he worked at the Battelle Institute in Geneva, Switzerland, and from 1967 to 1971 at the Unilever Research Laboratory in Vlaardin-gen, where in 1968 he became Head of the Molecular Physics section. In 1968 he obtained his Ph.D. degree at the Technical University in Eindhoven and in the same year he became Part-time Professor at the University of Nijmegen. In 1971 he became Full Professor of Theoretical Chemistry in Nijmegen. Since 1979 he is a member of the Netherlands Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and since 1997 a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.

The above mentioned CFD code BASSIM of the Battelle Institute was originally written to simulate hydrogen deflagration in confined 2D geometries with combustion in a one-step process. It has been successfully applied to calculate jet ignition and the influence of water vapor on the deflagration [29].

However, few details of the chemical nature of the pyrolytic oils produced from wood or other biomass have been reported. Some recent studies of the composition of pyrolysis oils obtained from poplar wood were carried out by workers of the Pacific Northwest Laboratories of Battelle Institute [7] and the Universite de Sherbrooke [8]. Methods of quantitative determination of functional groups in the pyrolytic oils from wood were tested in our laboratory by Nicolaides [9]. However, more detailed characterisation exists in the literature for the products of the thermal degradation of cellulose [10,11,12,13,14].

Rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (RESS) is the method in which a pressmized solution is rapidly expanded through an adequate nozzle, causing an extremely fast nucleation of the solid solute in a micronized form. This process is attractive due to the absence of organic solvent during processing, but its application is restricted to products reasonably soluble in supercritical fluids (commonly used fluid is carbon dioxide). The basic concept of RESS was first described more than a 100 years ago [8], while modem development started after the pioneering works of Krukonis [2,3] and especially the Battelle Institute research team [9,10].
