Carbon acids amines

Electrolyte solution is formed aceording to eq. [9.7]. Conductivity is a distinctive feature of any material. The praetiee of applieation of individual and mixed solvents refers to electrolyte solutions, having eonduetivities > lO Cm/m. Binary systems, such as carbonic acids-amines, cresol-amines, DMSO-carbonic acids, hexamethyl phosphorous Iriamide acids, and all the systems acids-water, are the examples of such solvents. 

Also, no specific amine-based inhibitor is generally provided to protect LP steam condensate pipework against the ravages of carbonic acid (H2C03)-induced condensate line corrosion. 

NOTE Neutralizing amines are often the first choice to neutralize carbonic acid in the condensate. In very small boiler plant applications they are... 

In lower pressure commercial and industrial boilers, handling and safety are issues of more concern than relative chemical effectiveness, and the fact is that because of such problems, ammonia simply is not used in these smaller plants. Caustic generally provides the necessary FW alkalinity and amines are then employed to overcome the problems of carbonic acid corrosion in the steam-condensate system. 

Oxygen corrosion in condensate pipelines is recognizable as large pits and are a typical result. Where the condensate pH level is low (say, due to the presence of carbonic acid), the pits may be particularly large, but as the pH level rises (say, due to the use of neutralizing amines), the layer of iron oxide corrosion product becomes more protective and the resulting pits tend to be smaller. 

Carbon dioxide released into the steam ultimately dissolves in condensate to produce carbonic acid. This acid is normally controlled by neutralization and beyond to provide a pH level of over 8.0, via the use of appropriate amines or amine blends. Examples of neutralization reactions for morpholine and cyclohexylamine (CHA) are shown here ... 

In view of the variable levels of carbonic acid produced throughout the average steam-condensate system network, in order to provide adequate neutralization coverage, it is generally necessary to provide a blend of amines. 

Neutralizing or volatile amines such as morpholine and cyclohexy-lamine neutralize carbonic acid, which generally raises the condensate and FW pH levels in high-pressure units. 

Ammonia is usually classified as a neutralizing amine because it provides post-boiler section corrosion inhibition through the same carbonic acid neutralization mechanism as regular amines. Similarly, hydrazine and other VOSs that produce ammonia, may be classified as functional neutralizing amines. 

Where amines are employed to counter acidic system water (as when condensate contains carbonic acid) it is necessary to consider the neutralization capacity (NC or C02 absorption value) of the amine. A higher NC means that, for any given concentration, the amine has a greater capacity to neutralize acids. 

The relative neutralizing capacity (RNC) of amines can be calculated from the reaction mole ratios thus, from the reaction of ammonia with carbonic acid, shown here, the RNC is 17/44 = 0.386 ppm neutralizing amine required per ppm C02 ... 

NOTE Values given are for atmospheric pressure condensation at 100°C. Higher Kb equates to a lower amine dosage. Carbonic acid pKa/pKb values also provided for comparison purposes only. 

A volatile, amine-based chemical treatment usually added to the boiler FW, designed to neutralize the corrosive effects of carbonic acid in steam/condensate and raise condensate pH. 

Quaternary oxalkylated polycondensates can be prepared by esterification of an oxalkylated primary fatty amine with a dicarbonic acid. An organometallic titanium compound is used as a catalyst for condensation [842]. The reaction product is then oxalkylated in the presence of a carbon acid [841], These polycondensates can be used as demulsifiers for crude oil emulsions and as corrosion inhibitors in installations for the production of natural gas and crude oil they can and also be used in processing. 

CDI and the other A /V -carbonylbisazoles of sufficiently high reactivity react with alcohols ROH to produce diesters of carbonic acid RO-CO-OR, and with amines R R2NH to give diamides of carbonic acid (ureas) R N-CO-NR 2. By use of corresponding bifunctional partners, heterocyclic systems are accessible through insertion of the carbonyl group between two heteroatoms (see Chapter 7). 

Reactions of selected metal complexes of multidentate amines with formaldehyde and a range of carbon acids (such as nitroethane) have led to ring-closure reactions to yield a series of three-dimensional cage molecules (see Chapter 3). Condensations of this type may also be used to produce two-dimensional macrocycles (Comba et al., 1986) - see [2.20], In such cases, it appears that imine intermediates are initially produced by condensation of the amines with formaldehyde as in the Curtis reaction. This is followed by attack of the conjugate base of the carbon acid on an imine carbon. The resulting bound (new) carbon acid then reacts with a second imine in a cis site to yield chelate ring formation. 

Another reaction performed in the dead-end reactor discussed before, is the allylic amination of 3-phenyl-2-propenyl-carbonic acid methyl ester with morpholine. [30] First and second generation commercially available DAB-dendrimers were functionalized with diphenylphosphine groups (Figure 4.13). Two different membranes were used, the Nadir UF-PA-5 (ultrafiltration) and the Koch MPF-50 (former SELRO) (nanofiltration), which gave retentions of 99.2% and 99.9% respectively for the second generation functionalized dendrimers. 

Chemical Incompatibility Hazards While N2 and C02 may act as inerts with respect to many combustion reactions, they are far from being chemically inert. Only the noble gases (eg., Ar and He) can, for practical purposes, be regarded as true inerts. Frank (Frank, Inerting for Explosion Prevention, Proceedings of the 38th Annual Loss Prevention Symposium, AIChE, 2004) lists a number of incompatibilities for N2, C02, and CO (which can be present in gas streams from combustion-based inert gas generators). Notable incompatibilities for N2 are lithium metal and titanium metal (which is reported to burn in N2). C02 is incompatible with many metals (eg., aluminum and the alkali metals), bases, and amines, and it forms carbonic acid in water,... 

Nitrite substitutes can be divided into seven chemical categories (1) amine benzoates (2) fatty acid amines (3) phosphate or carbonate silicates (4) organophosphates (5) amine borates (6) alkanolamines and (7) quaternary ammonium compounds ("quats"). Thus, the technology already exists for replacing nitrite with no loss in rust protection. However, most replacements for nitrite are more expensive, less effective, less likely to be compatible with other additives, and work by a different mechanism (12). It is therefore not surprising that fluids containing nitrite are still relatively com mon. 

Another example is the palladium catalyzed allylic substitution of 3-phenyl-2-propenyl-carbonic acid methyl ester to yield iV-(3-phenyl-2-propenyl)morpho-line reported by Reetz, Kragl and co-workers. This reaction was performed in the presence of phosphino-terminated amine dendrimers [17, 18] loaded with Pd11 cations as shown in Scheme 10. For this particular dendrimer with a molecular weight of 10 212 g/mol, a retention of 0.999 per residence time [35] was estimated in a membrane reactor with a SELRO MPF-50 membrane. It must be noted that a very high retention is a prerequisite for a continuous operating system, since a small leaching of the dendrimer leads to an exponential decrease in the amount...
