The mode of a distribution is the most frequently occurring number in that distribution. Using the carbon monoxide data in case above, the value 15 ppm occurs twice while all other values appear only once in the distribution. In this example, the mode of the distribution is 15 ppm. 

Table 3 shows results obtained from a five-component, isothermal flash calculation. In this system there are two condensable components (acetone and benzene) and three noncondensable components (hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane). Henry s constants for each of the noncondensables were obtained from Equations (18-22) the simplifying assumption for dilute solutions [Equation (17)] was also used for each of the noncondensables. Activity coefficients for both condensable components were calculated with the UNIQUAC equation. For that calculation, all liquid-phase composition variables are on a solute-free basis the only required binary parameters are those for the acetone-benzene system. While no experimental data are available for comparison, the calculated results are probably reliable because all simplifying assumptions are reasonable the... 

Rearrange Equation (5.20) into the form y = mx + c so that m involves D only. Plot y against x using the data in Table 5.1 to obtain B and D, in hertz, for carbon monoxide (use a computer or calculator that will work to nine-figure accuracy). 

Furfural is very thermally stable in the absence of oxygen. At temperatures as high as 230°C, exposure for many hours is required to produce detectable changes in the physical properties of furfural, with the exception of color (17). However, accelerating rate calorimetric data shows that a temperature above 250°C, in a closed system, furfural will spontaneously and exothermically decompose to furan and carbon monoxide with a substantial increase in pressure. The pressure may increase to 5000 psi or more, sufficient to shatter the container (18). 

The conversion of coal to gas on an industrial scale dates to the early nineteenth century (14). The gas, often referred to as manufactured gas, was produced in coke ovens or similar types of retorts by simply heating coal to vaporize the volatile constituents. Estimates based on modem data indicate that the gas mixture probably contained hydrogen (qv) (ca 50%), methane (ca 30%), carbon monoxide (qv) and carbon dioxide (qv) (ca 15%), and some inert material, such as nitrogen (qv), from which a heating value of approximately 20.5 MJ/m (550 Btu/fT) can be estimated (6).

The physical and thermodynamic properties of carbon monoxide are well documented in a number of excellent summaries (1 8). The thermochemical data cited here are drawn predominantly from references 1—3 physical property data from reference 5. A summary of particularly useful physical constants is presented in Table 1.

In one patent (31), a filtered, heated mixture of air, methane, and ammonia ia a volume ratio of 5 1 1 was passed over a 90% platinum—10% rhodium gauze catalyst at 200 kPa (2 atm). The unreacted ammonia was absorbed from the off-gas ia a phosphate solution that was subsequently stripped and refined to 90% ammonia—10% water and recycled to the converter. The yield of hydrogen cyanide from ammonia was about 80%. On the basis of these data, the converter off-gas mol % composition can be estimated nitrogen, 49.9% water, 21.7% hydrogen, 13.5% hydrogen cyanide, 8.1% carbon monoxide, 3.7% carbon dioxide, 0.2% methane, 0.6% and ammonia, 2.3%. 

Carbonylation, or the Koch reaction, can be represented by the same equation as for hydrocarboxylation. The catalyst is H2SO4. A mixture of C-19 dicarboxyhc acids results due to extensive isomerization of the double bond. Methyl-branched isomers are formed by rearrangement of the intermediate carbonium ions. Reaction of oleic acid with carbon monoxide at 4.6 MPa (45 atm) using 97% sulfuric acid gives an 83% yield of the C-19 dicarboxyhc acid (82). Further optimization of the reaction has been reported along with physical data of the various C-19 dibasic acids produced. The mixture of C-19 acids was found to contain approximately 25% secondary carboxyl and 75% tertiary carboxyl groups. As expected, the tertiary carboxyl was found to be very difficult to esterify (80,83). 

For any pollutant, air quality criteria may refer to different types of effects. For example. Tables 22-1 through 22-6 list effects on humans, animals, vegetation, materials, and the atmosphere caused by various exposures to sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, and lead. These data are from fhe Air Quality Criteria for these pollutants published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 

The information obtained during the background search and from the source inspection will enable selection of the test procedure to be used. The choice will be based on the answers to several questions (1) What are the legal requirements For specific sources there may be only one acceptable method. (2) What range of accuracy is desirable Should the sample be collected by a procedure that is 5% accurate, or should a statistical technique be used on data from eight tests at 10% accuracy Costs of different test methods will certainly be a consideration here. (3) Which sampling and analytical methods are available that will give the required accuracy for the estimated concentration An Orsat gas analyzer with a sensitivity limit of 0.02% would not be chosen to sample carbon monoxide... 

It was shown in laboratory studies that methanation activity increases with increasing nickel content of the catalyst but decreases with increasing catalyst particle size. Increasing the steam-to-gas ratio of the feed gas results in increased carbon monoxide shift conversion but does not affect the rate of methanation. Trace impurities in the process gas such as H2S and HCl poison the catalyst. The poisoning mechanism differs because the sulfur remains on the catalyst while the chloride does not. Hydrocarbons at low concentrations do not affect methanation activity significantly, and they reform into methane at higher levels, hydrocarbons inhibit methanation and can result in carbon deposition. A pore diffusion kinetic system was adopted which correlates the laboratory data and defines the rate of reaction. 

A sophisticated quantitative analysis of experimental data was performed by Voltz et al. (96). Their experiment was performed over commercially available platinum catalysts on pellets and monoliths, with temperatures and gaseous compositions simulating exhaust gases. They found that carbon monoxide, propylene, and nitric oxide all exhibit strong poisoning effects on all kinetic rates. Their data can be fitted by equations of the form ... 

Kolbel et al. (K16) examined the conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to methane catalyzed by a nickel-magnesium oxide catalyst suspended in a paraffinic hydrocarbon, as well as the oxidation of carbon monoxide catalyzed by a manganese-cupric oxide catalyst suspended in a silicone oil. The results are interpreted in terms of the theoretical model referred to in Section IV,B, in which gas-liquid mass transfer and chemical reaction are assumed to be rate-determining process steps. Conversion data for technical and pilot-scale reactors are also presented. 

Both benzothieno[3,2-b]pyridine 5-oxide (31) and thieno[3,2-b 4,5-b ]dipyridine 5-oxide (32) exhibit competitive loss of oxygen either as an atom or as carbon monoxide after initial skeletal rearrangement, e.g. to sulfenate esters (equation 10)18b. These results together with some data for Y-oxides indicate that the presence of an intense [M — 16] + peak is not diagnostic for the latter only. 

The discussion of electronic energy curves also throws light on such questions as the structure of the carbon monoxide molecule. The empirical study of potential curves obtained from band spectral data has shown18 that for atoms in the first row of the periodic system a double bond leads 18 An account of this work will be published at some future time. 

Thermal inversions make winter the most unfavorable season for clean air. Vast differences in air quality are found in the industrialized north, and the residential southwest regions. Particulate matter influences mainly the north, where industries, landfills, and the dried bed of Texcoco Lake are located. Sulfur oxides impinge primarily on the northeast and southwest. High carbon monoxide concentrations are found in heavy traffic areas such as the northwest. Ozone affects predominantly the southwest at any season. We have selected air quality records from data generated by stations registering the higher pollutant levels, as follows ... 

This simple picture of bonding is convenient to use, and often completely acceptable. However, it does lack sophistication and may not be used to explain some of the subtleties of these systems. One obvious point in this regard concerns infrared spectral data. Coordination of carbon monoxide to a metal invariably leads to a lower carbonyl stretching frequency (vco). implying a lower CO bond order as predicted. However, the values for vcn may be considerably higher for metal complexes of an isocyanide than are the values for the ligand itself. The valence-bond picture cannot rationalize... 

Incidentally, isocyanides are polar (for CNC H, the dipole moment is 3.44 D) and they are good bases (vs. BRj, H+), whereas CO is a poor base hence isocyanides can function as ligands in metal complexes where carbon monoxide does not. The scarcity of low-valent isocyanide complexes is less easily explained, however. Arguments involving 77-acceptor capacity are quite inappropriate. More data on low-valent species, and evaluations of stabilities, modes of decomposition, and reactions are desirable. 

This chapter is concerned initially with kinetic results and mechanistic interpretations of the CO insertion (Section III) and extrusion (Section IV) reactions. A discussion of the stereochemical data follows (Section V), and a comprehensive survey of these reactions by the triads (Section VI) rounds out the review. Carbon monoxide insertion reactions were discussed in 1967 by Basolo and Pearson (21). Since then they have been mentioned in several reviews (49, 118, 203, inter alios) but have not been treated comprehensively. 

Some indication of risk of employee exposure to airborne chemicals can be gauged from an analysis of the level of exposure for comparison with known human dose/ response data such as those for carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide listed in...
