By-passing

Filtration. In filtration, suspended solid particles in a liquid or gas are removed by passing the mixture through a porous medium that retains the particles and passes the fluid. The solid can be retained on the surface of the filter medium, which is cake, filtration, or captured within the filter medium, which is depth filtration. The filter medium can be arranged in many ways. 

C2H4N2O3, NH2CONHCOOH. Unknown in the free state as it breaks down immediately to urea and COi- The NH4, Ba, Ca, K and Na salts are known and are prepared by treating ethyl allophanate with the appropriate hydroxide. The esters with alcohols and phenols are crystalline solids, sparingly soluble in water and alcohol. They are formed by passing cyanic acid into alcohols or a solution of an alcohol or phenol in benzene. The amide of allophanic acid is biuret. Alcohols are sometimes isolated and identified by means of their allophanates. 

Prepared by the sulphonation of benzene in the liquid state or by passing benzene vapour into concentrated sulphuric acid at 150-180"C. 

Butene, a-bulylene, CH3CH2CH CH2-Prepared by passing the vapour of 1-butanol over heated alumina. 

Colourless liquid with a strong peppermintlike odour b.p. 155" C. Manufactured by passing cyclohexanol vapour over a heated copper catalyst. Volatile in steam. Oxidized to adipic acid. Used in the manufacture of caprolactam. Nylon, adipic acid, nitrocellulose lacquers, celluloid, artificial leather and printing inks. 

BrCHi CHjBr. A colourless liquid with a sweet odour, m.p. 10°C, b.p. 132°C. Manufactured by passing ethene through bromine or bromine and water at about 20 C. Chemical properties similar to those of 1,2-dichloroethane when heated with alkali hydroxides, vinyl bromide is formed. Used extensively in petrols to combine with the lead formed by the decomposition of lead tetraethyl, as a fumigant for stored products and as a nematocide. 

C2He04S, Et0)(H0)S02. Oily acidic liquid. Soluble in water and slowly hydrolysed by it to ethanol and sulphuric acid. Prepared by passing ethene into concentrated sulphuric acid or by heating ethanol and sulphuric acid. Gives ethene when heated alone, and diethyl sulphate when heated with ethanol at 140 C. Forms crystalline metallic salts which are soluble in water. 

Frasch process A process for obtaining sulphur by passing superheated water down a shaft to liquefy sulphur which is blown to the surface with compressed air. 

Glycerol ct-dichlorohydrin, sym-dichloroiso-propyl alcohol, 1,3-dichloro-2-hydroxypropane, CH2CI-CHOH-CH2C1. Colourless liquid with an ethereal odour b.p. 174-175" C. Prepared by passing dry HCl into glycerin containing 2% elhanoic acid at 100-1 lO C. Converted to x-epichlorohydrin by K.OH, Used as a solvent for cellulose nitrate and resins. 

Other oxygen fluorides, O2F2, O4F2, O5F2 and 06p2, are prepared by passing an electric spark through a mixture of O2, F2 and sometimes O3.
