Carbonates removal

Dibromobutane (from 1 4-butanediol). Use 45 g. of redistilled 1 4-butanediol, 6-84 g. of purified red phosphorus and 80 g. (26 ml.) of bromine. Heat the glycol - phosphorus mixture to 100-150° and add the bromine slowly use the apparatus of Fig. Ill, 37, 1. Continue heating at 100-150° for 1 hour after all the bromine has been introduced. Allow to cool, dilute with water, add 100 ml. of ether, and remove the excess of red phosphorus by filtration. Separate the ethereal solution of the dibromide, wash it successively with 10 per cent, sodium thiosulphate solution and water, then dry over anhydrous potassium carbonate. Remove the ether on a water bath and distil the residue under diminished pressure. Collect the 1 4-dibromobutane at 83-84°/12 mm. the yield 3 73 g. 

Hydrolysis (or saponification) of n-butyl acetate. Boil 4-5 g. of n-butyl acetate (Section 111,95) with 50 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution under reflux until the odour of the ester can no longer be detected (about 1 hour). Set the condenser for downward distiUation and coUect the first 10 ml. of distillate. Saturate it with potassium carbonate, aUow to stand for 5 minutes, and withdraw all the Uquid into a small pipette or dropper pipette. AUow the lower layer of carbonate solution to run slowly into a test-tube, and place the upper layer into a small test-tube or weighing bottle. Dry the alcohol with about one quarter of its buUr of anhydrous potassium carbonate. Remove the alcohol with a dropper pipette and divide it into two parts use one portion for the determination of the b.p. by the Siwoloboff method (Section 11,12) and convert the other portion into the 3 5-dinitrobenzoate (Section III, 27) and determine the m.p. 

Boil 2 g. of the ester with 30 ml. of 10 per cent, sodium or potassium hydroxide solution under reflux for at least 1 hour. If the alcohol formed is water (or alkali) soluble, the completion of the hydrolysis will be indicated by the disappearance of the ester layer. Distil ofiF the liquid through the same condenser and collect the first 3-5 ml. of distillate. If a distinct la3 er separates on standing (or upon saturation of half the distillate with potassium carbonate), remove this layer with a capillary dropper, dry it with a little anhydrous potassium carbonate or anhydrous calcium sulphate, and determine the b.p. by the SiwoloboflF method... 

Benzoyl piperidine. In a 1-litre three-necked flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer, separatory funnel and a thermometer, place 85 g. (99 ml.) of redistilled piperidine (b.p. 105-108°) and a solution of 53 g. of sodium hydroxide in 400 ml. of water. Stir the mixture and introduce during the course of 1 hour 140 g. (115-5 ml.) of redistilled benzoyl chloride maintain the temperature at 35-40°, Cool to room temperature and extract the benzoyl piperidine with ether. Wash the ethereal solution with a little water to remove any dissolved sodium hydroxide, and dry with anhydrous potassium carbonate. Remove the ether on a water bath and distil the residue under diminished pressure (Fig. II, 20, 1). Collect the benzoyl piperidine at 184—186°/15 mm. it is an almost colourless viscous liquid and crystallises on standing in colourless needles m.p. 46°. The yield is 170 g. 

Reduction of A-nitrosomethylaniline. Into a 1 litre round-bottomed flask, fitted with a reflux condenser, place 39 g. of A-nitroso-methylaniline and 75 g. of granulated tin. Add 150 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid in portions of 25 ml. (compare Section IV.34) do not add the second portion until the vigorous action produced by the previous portion has subsided, etc. Heat the reaction mixture on a water bath for 45 minutes, and allow to cool. Add cautiously a solution of 135 g. of sodium hydroxide in 175 ml. of water, and steam distil (see Fig. II, 40, 1) collect about 500 ml. of distillate. Saturate the solution with salt, separate the organic layer, extract the aqueous layer with 50 ml. of ether and combine the extract with the organic layer. Dry with anhydrous potassium carbonate, remove the ether on a water bath (compare Fig. II, 13, 4), and distil the residual liquid using an air bath (Fig. II, 5, 3). Collect the pure methylaniline at 193-194° as a colourless liquid. The yield is 23 g. 

Decant the liquid layer into a 2 5 litre flask, and dissolve the sodium derivative of acetylacetone in 1600 ml. of ice water transfer the solution to the flask. Separate the impiue ethyl acetate layer as rapidly as possible extract the aqueous layer with two 200 ml. portions of ether and discard the ethereal extracts. Treat the aqueous layer with ice-cold dilute sulphimic acid (100 g. of concentrated sulphiu-ic acid and 270 g. of crushed ice) until it is just acid to htmus. Extract the diketone from the solution with four 200 ml. portions of ether. Leave the combined ether extracts standing over 40 g. of anhydrous sodium sulphate (or the equivalent quantity of anhydrous magnesium sulphate) for 24 hours in the ice chest. Decant the ether solution into a 1500 ml. round-bottomed flask, shake the desiccant with 100 ml. of sodium-dried ether and add the extract to the ether solution. Distil off the ether on a water bath.

Dry this over 5 g. of anhydrous potassium carbonate, remove the desiccant, and redistil from the same flask. Collect the pure acetji-acetone at 134r-136°. The yield is 85 g. 

Higher Hydrocarbons. The VPO of higher hydrocarbons is similar to that of the lower members of the series with two significant additional comphcations (/) the back-bitiag reactions of alkylperoxy radicals (eq. 32), particularly at positions 2 or 3 carbons removed from the peroxy position, and (2) above the NTC region, radical fragmentation (eq. 28). 

Equipment. Partial-oxidation gasification section equipment in many plants consists essentially of (/) the gasification reactor (2) the waste-heat exchanger for heat recovery from the hot reactor gas or direct quench system (J) the economizer heat exchanger for further heat recovery (4) the carbon removal system for separating carbon from the reactor product gas and (5) the carbon recovery system for recycle of carbon. 

The key difference between the brine process and seawater process is the precipitation step. In the latter process (Fig. 6) the seawater is first softened by a dding small amounts of lime to remove bicarbonate and sulfates, present as MgSO. Bicarbonate must be removed prior to the precipitation step to prevent formation of insoluble calcium carbonate. Removal of sulfates prevents formation of gypsum, CaS02 2H20. Once formed, calcium carbonate and gypsum cannot be separated from the product. 

Bitumen is a hydrogen-deficient oil that is upgraded by carbon removal (coking) or hydrogen addition (hydrocrackiag) (2,4). There are two methods by which bitumen conversion can be achieved by direct heating of mined tar sand and by thermal decomposition of separated bitumen. The latter is the method used commercially, but the former has potential for commercialisation (see Fuels, SYNTHETIC). 

Chemical Processing. Activated carbon consumption in a variety of chemical processing appHcations is about 8% of the total (74). The activated carbon removes impurities to achieve high quaHty. For example, organic contaminants are removed from solution in the production of alum, soda ash, and potassium hydroxide (82). Other apphcations include the manufacture of dyestuffs, glycols, amines, organic acids, urea, hydrochloric acid, and phosphoric acid (83). 

Oxidation and chlorination of the catalyst are then performed to ensure complete carbon removal, restore the catalyst chloride to its proper level, and maintain full platinum dispersion on the catalyst surface. Typically, the catalyst is oxidized in sufficient oxygen at about 510°C for a period of six hours or more. Sufficient chloride is added, usually as an organic chloride, to restore the chloride content and acid function of the catalyst and to provide redispersion of any platinum agglomeration that may have occurred. The catalyst is then reduced to return the metal components to their active form. This reduction is accompHshed by using a flow of electrolytic hydrogen or recycle gas from another Platforming unit at 400 to 480°C for a period of one to two hours. 

Chlorotoluene isomer mixtures, especially those containing a relatively high amount of o-chlorotoluene, are widely used as solvents in industry for such purposes as metal-cleaning formulations, railroad industrial cleaners, diesel fuel additives, carbon removal procedures, paint thinners, and agricultural chemicals. Halso 99 andHalso 125 are examples of such solvents.

The salt consumption with a sodium 0.275 and 0.533 Lbs of salt per 1,000 grains of hardness, expressed as calcium carbonate, removed. This range is attributed to two factors (1) the water composition, and (2) the operating exchange value at which the exchange resin is to be worked. The lower salt consumption may be attained with waters that are not excessively hard nor high in sodium salts, and where the exchange resin is not worked at its maximum capacity. 

Process parameters are set to obtain the required octane level ( 90). In the process, minute amounts of carbon are deposited on the catalyst which reduces the product yield, but can be removed by batch burning. Continuous regeneration avoids periodic shutdowns and maximizes the high-octane yield. This employs a moving bed of catalyst particles that is circulated ihrnugli a regenerator vessel, for carbon removal, and returned to the reactor.

The vinyl ether may be further purified by dissolving it in 15 ml of dry ether and adding a solution of 0.25 g of lithium aluminum hydride in 10 ml of dry ether. The mixture is refluxed for 30 minutes, and excess hydride is destroyed by addition of ethyl acetate (1 ml). Ice-cold dilute (0.5 N) sulfuric acid (25 ml) is gradually added to the cooled mixture, the ethereal layer is rapidly separated, the aqueous layer is extracted once with 10 ml of ether, and the combined ethereal solution is washed once with water and dried over potassium carbonate. Removal of the solvent, followed by distillation of the residue affords about 85% recovery of the pure vinyl ether, bp 102-10376 mm, 1.5045. 

In the ElcB reaction, C-H bond-breaking occurs first. A base abstracts a proton to give an anion, followed by loss of the leaving group from the adjacent carbon in a second step. The reaction is favored when the leaving group is two carbons removed from a carbonyl, which stabilizes the intermediate anion by resonance. Biological elimination reactions typically occur by this ElcB mechanism. 

Nitrones arc generally more stable than nitroso-compounds and arc therefore easier to handle. However, the nitroxides formed by reaction with nitrones [e.g. phenyl /-butyl nitrone (109)]483 484 have the radical center one carbon removed from the trapped radical (Scheme 3.86). The LPR spectra are therefore less sensitive to the nature of that radical and there is greater difficulty in resolving and assigning signals. Nitrones are generally less efficient traps than nitroso-compounds.476...

The process used is a. carbonate removal using hot-lime precipitation softening coupled with silica adsorption by magnesia addition b. clarification in anthracite filters and c. cation ion-exchange for the balance of hardness removal. 

The carbon removal reaction supposedly takes place at two-phase boundary of a solid catalyst, a solid reactantfcarbon particulate) and gaseous reactants(02, NO). Because of the experimental difficulty to supply a solid carbon continuously to reaction system, the reaction have been exclusively investigated by the temperature programmed reaction(TPR) technique in which the mixture of a catalyst and a soot is heated in gaseous reactants. 

Although decarboxylation reaction seems to be a simple one-carbon removing reaction, it is demonstrated that this reaction is a unique and useful reaction in the preparation of optically active carboxylic acids. If the starting material is a racemic carboxylic acid, the optically active compound can be obtained via symmetrization by chemical carboxylation followed by asymmetrization via enzymatic reaction. Accordingly, the whole process can be said as chemicoenzymatic deracemization (Fig. 24).
