Carbon materials carbonization process

In aqueous solution, malic acid can be mildly corrosive toward aluminum and corrosive to carbon steel. Under normal conditions, it is not corrosive to stainless steels, which usually are the constmetion materials for processes involving malic acid. Malic acid is also virtually noncorrosive to tinplate and other materials used to package acidulated foods and beverages (Table 3) (27).

Materials and Process. The steel chosen for tire cord is a eutectoid carbon steel containing 0.7% carbon, 0.5% manganese, 0.2% siUcon, and a very low amount of sulfur and phosphoms (9,48). The steel rod is cleaned with acid, rinsed, drawn through tungsten carbide dies to reduce its diameter from 5.5 to - 3.0 mm, heat treated (patented) to increase ductihty for further drawing to - 1 mm, then patented again. 

Heating the ammonium beryUium carbonate solution to 95°C causes nearly quantitative precipitation of beryUium basic carbonate [66104-24-3], Be(OH)2 2BeC02. Evolved carbon dioxide and ammonia are recovered for recycle as the strip solution. Continued heating of the beryUium basic carbonate slurry to 165°C Hberates the remaining carbon dioxide and the resulting beryUium hydroxide [13327-32-7] intermediate is recovered by filtration. The hydroxide is the basic raw material for processing into beryUium metal, copper—beryUium and other aUoys, and beryUia [1304-56-9] for ceramic products. Approximately 90% of the beryUium content of bertrandite is recovered by this process. 

Several grades of carbon electrodes are available. The characteristics of each result from the raw materials and processes used ia manufacturiag. The generic descriptions and primary constituents are as follows ... 

The physical properties of carbon electrodes are deterrnined by the raw materials and processes used in their manufacturer. There are no universal grade designations and the pubHshed properties are quite broad. Table 3 shows ranges for some of the common commercially available grades. 

Scoop systems are provided for introducing collected dust or, in some cases, a feed component through the shell at some intermediate point or points. Ports are installed in the shell for admitting combustion air at points beyond the hot zone these are used in reducing kilns for burning carbon monoxide and volatiles from materials oeing processed. 

Carbon steel is easily the most commonly used material in process plants despite its somewhat limited corrosion resistance. It is routinely used for most organic chemicals and neutral or basic aqueous solutions at moderate temperatures. It is also used routinely for the storage of concentrated sulfuric acid and caustic soda [up to 50 percent and 55°C (I30°F)]. Because of its availability, low cost, and ease of fabrication steel is frequently used in services with corrosion rates of 0.13 to 0.5 mm/y (5 to 20 mils/y), with added thickness (corrosion allowance) to assure the achievement of desired service life. Product quahty requirements must be considered in such cases. 

The product of this process can be modified in many ways. It can be made impervious by impregnation or its pores may be filled with metal such as in motor and generator brushes. It must be appreciated that by choice of raw materials and processing it is possible to produce a wide range of carbons, c bon/graphites and electro-graphites. The physical properties shown in Table 18,1 are thus to be taken only as broadly representative.

Supercritical carbon dioxide has been used as a dispersing medium for the manufacture and processing of polymeric materials. The process allows for the synthesis of high molar mass acrylic polymers in the form of micrometer-sized particles with a narrow size distribution. This procedure represents an environmentally responsible alternative to aqueous and organic dispersing media for heterogeneous dispersion polymerizations (Fox, 1994).
