The gas dissolved in the product is also released during distillation. Moreover, a chemical reaction (decomposition) may lead to a gas flow and thus to a sudden increase in pressure. 

Of particular interest are laminates in which the barrier layer has been thermaUy transformed (by chemical reaction, decomposition, or crystaUiza-tion) after deposition on the substrate this should be an attractive route to fabricate ultrathin porous carbon membranes [55], porous glass membranes [56], or possibly polycrystaUine zeolite membranes [57]. 

In passing from a liquid to a gaseous state, the individual molecules (or ions) of the substance must separate. Because of this, we can understand why ionic organic compounds often decompose before they boil. The thermal energy required to completely separate (volatilize) the ions is so great that chemical reactions (decompositions) occur first. 

Ozone is formed in certain chemical reactions, including the action of fluorine on water (p. 323) and the thermal decomposition ofiodic(VII) (periodic) acid. It is also formed when dilute (about 1 M) sulphuric acid is electrolysed at high current density at low temperatures the oxygen evolved at the anode can contain as much as 30% ozone. 

A 38.63-mg sample of potassium ozonide, KO3, was heated to 70 °C for 1 h, undergoing a weight loss of 7.10 mg. Write a balanced chemical reaction describing this decomposition reaction. A 29.6-mg sample of impure KO3 experiences a 4.86-mg weight loss when treated under similar condition. What is the %w/w KO3 in the sample ... 

Cell Volta.ge a.ndIts Components. The minimum voltage required for electrolysis to begin for a given set of cell conditions, such as an operational temperature of 95°C, is the sum of the cathodic and anodic reversible potentials and is known as the thermodynamic decomposition voltage, is related to the standard free energy change, AG°C, for the overall chemical reaction,... 

A catalyst is a substance that iacreases the rate of approach to equiUbrium of a chemical reaction without being substantially consumed itself. A catalyst changes the rate but not the equiUbrium of the reaction. This definition is almost the same as that given by Ostwald ia 1895. The term catalysis was coiaed ia ca 1835 by Ber2eHus, who recognized that many seemingly disparate phenomena could be described by a single concept. For example, ferments added ia small amounts were known to make possible the conversion of plant materials iato alcohol and there were numerous examples of both decomposition and synthesis reactions that were apparendy caused by addition of various Hquids or by contact with various soHds. 

Most chemical reactions are exothermic. In the few endothermic reactions that are known, heat is absorbed into the reaction product or products, which are known as endothermic or energy-rich compounds. Such compounds are thermodynamically unstable because heat woiild be released on decomposition of their elements. The majority of endothermic compounds possess a tendency toward insta-bihty and possibly explosive decomposition under various circumstances of initiation. 

Batch Furnaces This type of furnace is employed mainly for the heat treatment of metals and for the drying and calcination or ceramic articles. In the chemical process industry, batch furnaces may be used for the same purposes as batch-tray and truck dryers when the drying or process temperature exceeds 600 K (620°F). They are employed also for small-batch calcinations, thermal decompositions, and other chemical reactions which, on a larger scale, are performed in rotary Idlns, hearth furnaces, and shaft furnaces. 

In many gaseous state reactions of technological importance, short-lived intermediate molecules which are formed by die decomposition of reacting species play a significant role in die reaction kinetics. Thus reactions involving die mediane molecule, CH4, show die presence of a well-defined dissociation product, CH3, die mediyl radical, which has a finite lifetime as a separate entity and which plays an important part in a sequence or chain of chemical reactions. 

A catalyst is defined as a substance that influences the rate or the direction of a chemical reaction without being consumed. Homogeneous catalytic processes are where the catalyst is dissolved in a liquid reaction medium. The varieties of chemical species that may act as homogeneous catalysts include anions, cations, neutral species, enzymes, and association complexes. In acid-base catalysis, one step in the reaction mechanism consists of a proton transfer between the catalyst and the substrate. The protonated reactant species or intermediate further reacts with either another species in the solution or by a decomposition process. Table 1-1 shows typical reactions of an acid-base catalysis. An example of an acid-base catalysis in solution is hydrolysis of esters by acids. 

Fe, Co or Ni is also crucial in the catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbon. In order to efficiently obtain CNT and to control its shape, it is necessary and indispensable to have enough information on chemical interaction between carbon and these metals. It is quite easy for the catalytic synthesis method to scale up the CNT production (see Chap. 12). In this sense, this method is considered to have the best possibility for mass produetion. It is important to further improve the process of catalytie synthesis and, in order to do so, clarifieation of the mechanism of CNT growth is necessary to control the synthesis. CNT can be synthesized by the chemical reaction at relatively low...

Waste stabilization ponds are shallow basins into which wastes are fed for biological decomposition. The chemical reactions involved are the same as those that occur in the other biological processes. Aeration is provided by the wind, and anaerobic digestion may also occur near the bottom of deeper ponds. The ponds are very commonly used for sewage treatment and dilute industrial wastes. Waste stabilization ponds are normally used as the final treatment step for effluents because they are not effieient enough to be used on their own.

Tetramethyl-l,2-oxathietane (138) was prepared by diazotization of 139, which was prepared from the aziridine (140) (86JA3811).Tlie reaction presumably involves the decomposition of the sulfonium ion intermediate (141).Tire dichloromethane solution of 138 at -20°C is sufficiently stable to permit exploration of the chemical reactions. Tire oxathietane 138 undergoes a formal [[Pg.248]

DFT molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the kinetics of the chemical reactions that occur during the induction phase of acid-catalyzed polymerization of 205 [97JA7218]. These calculations support the experimental finding that the induction phase is characterized by the protolysis of 205 followed by a rapid decomposition into two formaldehyde molecules plus a methylenic carbocation (Scheme 135). For the second phase of the polymerization process, a reaction of the protonated 1,3,5-trioxane 208 with formaldehyde yielding 1,3,5,7-tetroxane 209 is discussed (Scheme 136). 

These techniques help in providing the following information specific heat, enthalpy changes, heat of transformation, crystallinity, melting behavior, evaporation, sublimation, glass transition, thermal decomposition, depolymerization, thermal stability, content analysis, chemical reactions/polymerization linear expansion, coefficient, and Young s modulus, etc. 

Vaporous cavitation can remove protective films, such as oxides, from metals and so initiate corrosion . In addition, the very high local pressures and temperatures associated with the final stage of cavity collapse can induce chemical reactions that would not normally occur. Thus certain additives are damaged by cavitation and their decomposition products can be corrosive.
