Benefit to industry

Chemical reactions of adsorbed species are of importance in vast areas of science, the involvement of adsorbed metal ions in catalysis being one example of great economic value. In addition reactions involving adsorbed species can sometimes produce products that may be either difficult or impossible to prepare away from the mineral surface. Therefore, an understanding of the chemical processes that occur in such systems is of potential economic benefit to industrial operations. Such knowledge is also of much wider significance, however, because the movement of ions in most environmental situations is controlled by sorption processes, and aluminosilicate minerals play a major role in many situations. 

Many benefits for EU industry, consumers and the environment derive from the use of renewable raw materials (a) increased competitiveness from products having tailor-made performance compared with, or in combination with, conventional materials (b) a more stable and secure source of supply (c) a reduction in environmental impact (d) new and growing markets, providing economic benefits to industry as well as and (e) employment opportunities in processing industries and the agricultural sector. 

I am convinced that the environmental chemistry of herbicides provides for their safer and more efficient use, less cost to consumers, more benefits to industry, and exciting advances in basic science. Look around you in the next century of American Chemistry, this new field of work will affect each of us more than we could ever have imagined. 

Molecular modeling is a term used to describe a series of techniques that employ both quantum and molecular mechanics in conjunction with computer simulations to study the chemical and physical properties of a material (1). This approach offers a wide range of benefits to industry shortens product develojHnent cycles, reduces production costs, improves product properties and key solid-state structures, and properties that cannot be examined by experimental techniques may be predicted and studied by computer. Following is a brief review of the fundamentals of modeling crystalline systems. 

DNA technology, in particular, is having a revolutionary effect on a host of industrial and regulatory sectors. This area is rapidly developing and offers tremendous advantages and benefits to industry, but there is an urgent need for parallel validation of the analytical techniques employed in DNA-based measurements and development of tools to enhance validity such as suitable reference standards. Analytical molecular biology has typically been developed, and is most often employed, in academic and medical research environments where there is little need to consider the more routine applicability, reliability and reproducibility of the methods. Evaluation of these factors and further validation of the methods is therefore necessary, particularly when such techniques are applied to the analysis of real samples. 

The anticipated benefits to industry of this harmonized approach are straightforward. The need for duplicate studies in many clinical and biological areas is minimized. The common technical document will enable companies to prepare submissions more quickly, since a single technical dossier will be accepted by all authorities in the ICH areas. Overall, the drug development process will be streamlined, facilitating the process by which raw research is transformed into marketable drugs.

Certain multiply substituted polysaccharides, such as amphoteric starches, have unique characteristics which provide benefits to industry. Why are multiply modified polysaccharides less commonly used than simple modifications ... 

The Jackson Safety G40 Nitrile Foam Coated Gloves from Kimberly-Clark Professional have been improved to offer a host of additional benefits to industrial workers, including being washable and silicone-free. The gloves are now blue instead of purple with this change comes a new level of performance and quality. Kimberly-Clark Professional, www.kc-safety.com, (888) 346-GOKC. Circle 254... 

This book has been written to ensure that it will be of benefit to industrial analysts. Most chapters explain some of the relevant theory as well as give some historical references to place the technique in its proper context. In addition the book should appeal to academic scientists who require a good source of applications and a good set of references. Since lipids have many uses the appeal of the book will extend from the food industry to the pharmaceutical industry. 

In addition to the work on swelling clays, a method to control the dispersion of non-swelling clays such as kaolin needs to be developed. In terms of mineral processing, non-swelling clays are far more commonly encountered. Thus, if methods were developed for their dispersion control, the potential benefits to industry may be more significant. In general, non-swelling clays such as kaolin... 

EPA s determination that manufacture, processing, use, distribution in commerce, or disposal of an individual substance which has been the subject of a notice under section 5 of the TSCA may present an unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment is based on consideration of (i) the size of the risks identified by EPA (ii) limitations on risk that would result from specific safeguards (generally, exposure and release controls) sought based on Agency review and (iii) the benefits to industry and the public expected to be provided by new chemical substances intended to be manufactured after Agency review.
