The materials of constmction of the radiant coil are highly heat-resistant steel alloys, such as Sicromal containing 25% Cr, 20% Ni, and 2% Si. Triethyi phosphate [78-40-0] catalyst is injected into the acetic acid vapor. Ammonia [7664-41-7] is added to the gas mixture leaving the furnace to neutralize the catalyst and thus prevent ketene and water from recombining. The cmde ketene obtained from this process contains water, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, and 7 vol % other gases (mainly carbon monoxide [630-08-0][124-38-9] ethylene /74-< 3 -/7, and methane /74-< 2-<7/). The gas mixture is chilled to less than 100°C to remove water, unconverted acetic acid, and the acetic anhydride formed as a Hquid phase (52,53). 

Titanium carbide may also be made by the reaction at high temperature of titanium with carbon titanium tetrachloride with organic compounds such as methane, chloroform, or poly(vinyl chloride) titanium disulfide [12039-13-3] with carbon organotitanates with carbon precursor polymers (31) and titanium tetrachloride with hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Much of this work is directed toward the production of ultrafine (<1 jim) powders. The reaction of titanium tetrachloride with a hydrocarbon-hydrogen mixture at ca 1000°C is used for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of thin carbide films used in wear-resistant coatings. 

Boron carbide is resistant to most acids but is rapidly attacked by molten alkalies. It may be melted without decomposition in an atmosphere of carbon monoxide, but is slowly etched by hydrogen at 1200°C. It withstands metallic sodium fairly well at 500°C and steam at 300°C (8). 

Hydrogen sulfide and carbon react at 900°C to give a 70% yield of carbon disulfide (102,103). A process for reaction of coke and hydrogen sulfide or sulfur in an electric-resistance-heated fluidized bed has been demonstrated on a laboratory scale (104). Hydrogen sulfide also forms carbon disulfide in reactions with carbon monoxide at 600—1125°C (105) or carbon dioxide at 350—450°C in the presence of catalysts (106). 

Oxychlorination of Ethylene or Dichloroethane. Ethylene or dichloroethane can be chlorinated to a mixture of tetrachoroethylene and trichloroethylene in the presence of oxygen and catalysts. The reaction is carried out in a fluidized-bed reactor at 425°C and 138—207 kPa (20—30 psi). The most common catalysts ate mixtures of potassium and cupric chlorides. Conversion to chlotocatbons ranges from 85—90%, with 10—15% lost as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide (24). Temperature control is critical. Below 425°C, tetrachloroethane becomes the dominant product, 57.3 wt % of cmde product at 330°C (30). Above 480°C, excessive burning and decomposition reactions occur. Product ratios can be controlled but less readily than in the chlorination process. Reaction vessels must be constmcted of corrosion-resistant alloys. 

An improved approach from the point of view of thermal efficiency is the electrothermal process in which the mixture of zinc oxide and carbon, in the form of briquettes, are heated in a vertical shaft furnace using the electrical resistance of the briquettes to allow for internal electrical heating. The zinc vapour and CO(g) which are evolved are passed tluough a separate condenser, the carbon monoxide being subsequently oxidized in air. 

Afterburn Control. Afterburn is the term for carbon monoxide burning downstream of the regenerator this causes an increase in temperature upstream of the expander. Temperature sensors in the gas stream cause the brake to energize. This provides sufficient resisting torque to prevent acceleration until the afterburn is brought under control by water or steam injection. 

Since impurities can affect both the polymerisation reaction and the properties of the finished product (particularly electrical insulation properties and resistance to heat aging) they must be rigorously removed. In particular, carbon monoxide, acetylene, oxygen and moisture must be at a very low level. A number of patents require that the carbon monoxide content be less than 0.02%. 

Interestingly, in the inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reactions of oxepin with various enophiles such as cyclopentadienones and tetrazines the oxepin form, rather than the benzene oxide, undergoes the cycloaddition.234 236 Usually, the central C-C double bond acts as dienophile. Oxepin reacts with 2,5-dimethyl-3,4-diphenylcyclopenta-2,4-dienone to give the cycloadduct 6 across the 4,5-C-C double bond of the heterocycle.234 The adduct resists thermal carbon monoxide elimination but undergoes cycloreversion to oxepin and the cyclopenta-dienone.234... 

Thermal Conductivity Detector In the thermal conductivity detector (TCD), the temperature of a hot filament changes when the analyte dilutes the carrier gas. With a constant flow of helium carrier gas, the filament temperature will remain constant, but as compounds with different thermal conductivities elute, the different gas compositions cause heat to be conducted away from the filament at different rates, which in turn causes a change in the filament temperature and electrical resistance. The TCD is truly a universal detector and can detect water, air, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and many other compounds. For most organic molecules, the sensitivity of the TCD detector is low compared to that of the FID, but for the compounds for which the FID produces little or no signal, the TCD detector is a good alternative. 

Although knowledge on the biodegradation of these compounds is sparse, a number of them are important in industrial processes. Formation of methylated derivatives may take place in metals and metalloids belonging to groups 15 and 16 of the periodic table, and a few of group 14. These have been discussed in a critical review (Thayer 2002) and in Chapter 3, Part 4, and they have been noted in the context of the bacterial resistance to metals and metalloids. Since carbon monoxide has been considered as an organic compound (Chapter 7, Part 1), it is consistent to make brief comments on metal carbonyls. 

In addition to the energy savings, the new process also has substantial environmental benefits. Along with the elimination of lead and nickel gases, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide emissions from combustion will decrease. The consumption of refractory (a heat-resisting... 

The personal security of our citizens also benefits directly from science and technology. Our police forces are equipped with light, strong bulletproof vests made of modem synthetic materials, and fire rescue personnel wear protective clothing made from temperature-resistant polymers. The smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in our homes are based on chemical processes that detect dangerous substances. Personal security is enhanced in the broadest sense by water purification and by the chemical testing procedures that assure us of clean water and food.
