Clays yielding

After the addition of acid chloride, about 25 ml of methylene chloride was used to rinse the residual acid chloride into the flask. The mixture was stirred for about 3 h. The pH was then adjusted to between 9.5 and 10 and the solution was stirred for an additional hour. The organic layer was separated from the aqueous layer and washed once with 5% NaOH solution. The solution was dried over calcium sulfate and the methylene chloride was evaporated leaving about 10.36 g (69%) of crude product. Decolorizing three times with Attapulgus clay yielded a light yellow brown methylene chloride solution which, on removal of solvent, gave about 5.2 g of product (35%). 

When the results of the yellow limestone clay and the red field clay analyses were processed by the potstat routine (10), an average of data from the two clays yielded a pattern that matched (except for sodium) the analytical pattern of pottery made of a mix of the two clays. In the first case, the two raw clays were simply ground and analyzed separately in the second case, the two clays were mixed in a water bath, sand and Dead Sea salt were added, a vessel was formed, dried, and fired, and this finished product was analyzed. The sand temper did not contribute significantly to the relative test element concentrations, but the salt addition did, of course, raise the sodium concentration. These results are graphed in Figure 2.

As shown in Figure 2.17, the flow behavior of clay-water suspensions changes in the presence of soluble electrolyte ions that can be exchanged with the ions adsorbed at the surface of the day partides. Natural clays yield predominantly Ca ... 

Wilkie and co-workers [69, 70] synthesized two organically modified clays to produce nanocomposites of PS, HIPS, and ABS terpolymer. They used the following copolymers to modify clay vinylbenzyl chloride (COPS) and methyl methacrylate and vinylbenzyl chloride (MAPS). The cation head for clay modification with these compounds was ammonium. After melt-blending, styrene copolymer-modified clays yielded exfoliated nanocomposites, whereas the methacrylate copolymer clays yielded a mixture of immiscible and intercalated nanocomposites. In general, all nanocomposites exhibited improved thermal stability and mechanical properties, in addition to improvements in flame retardancy, depending on the quality of clay dispersion. 

Although Equation 5-29 has been extensively used, it has its own limitations. Measur ing the power exponent " n" in laminar flow tests and then trying to apply it to turbulent flows is asking for trouble, particularly for cases when / < 0.5. Hey wood and Richardson (1978) showed that pumping flocculated clays yielded higher experimental values of friction coefficient than those predicted by Dodge and Metzner (1959), particularly when the value of n had been obtained at low shear stress. 

Alumina in combination with siUca is present in limestone chiefly as clay, though other aluminum siUcates in the form of feldspar and mica may be found. When present in appreciable quantities, clay converts a high calcium limestone into a mad or argillaceous stone, which when calcined yields limes with hydrauhc properties. Limestones containing 5—10% clayey matter yield feebly hydrauHc limes those containing 15—30% produce highly hydrauHc limes. 

Chemicals responsible for odor in some PUR foams were synthesised by polymerisation of PO in CH2CI2 with Bp2(C2H )20 catalyst (114). The yield was 25% volatile material and 75% polymeric material. The 25% fraction consisted of dimethyldioxane isomers, dioxolane isomers, DPG, TPG, crown ethers, tetramers, pentamers, etc, and 2-ethy1-4,7-dimethyl-1,3,6-trioxacane (acetal of DPG and propionaldehyde). The latter compound is mainly responsible for the musty odor found in some PUR foams. This material is not formed under basic conditions but probably arises during the workup when acidic clays are used for catalyst removal. 

Dehydration of 1-pentanol or 2-pentanol to the corresponding olefins has been accompHshed, in high purity and yields, by vapor-phase heterogeneous catalyzed processes using a variety of catalysts including neutral gamma —Al Og catalyst doped with an alkah metal (23), zinc aluminate (24,25), hthiated clays (26), Ca2(P0 2 montmorillonite clays (28). Dehydration of 2-methyl-1-butanol occurs over zinc aluminate catalyst at... 

This stock is discharged from the mixer to equipment that allows cooling and a convenient storage form, such as a mill or an extmder/die plate that yields a sheet or pelletized form. Usually the material is coated with a slurry of clay, calcium carbonate, or zinc stearate to prevent self-adhesion. 

Gas Phase. The gas-phase methanol hydrochlorination process is used more in Europe and Japan than in the United States, though there is a considerable body of Hterature available. The process is typicaHy carried out as foHows vaporized methanol and hydrogen chloride, mixed in equimolar proportions, are preheated to 180—200°C. Reaction occurs on passage through a converter packed with 1.68—2.38 mm (8—12 mesh) alumina gel at ca 350°C. The product gas is cooled, water-scmbbed, and Hquefied. Conversions of over 95% of the methanol are commonly obtained. Garnma-alurnina has been used as a catalyst at 295—340°C to obtain 97.8% yields of methyl chloride (25). Other catalysts may be used, eg, cuprous or zinc chloride on active alumina, carbon, sHica, or pumice (26—30) sHica—aluminas (31,32) zeoHtes (33) attapulgus clay (34) or carbon (35,36). Space velocities of up to 300 h , with volumes of gas at STP per hour per volume catalyst space, are employed. 

X-ray diffraction patterns yield typical 1.2—1.4 nm basal spacings for smectite partially hydrated in an ordinary laboratory atmosphere. Solvating smectite in ethylene glycol expands the spacing to 1.7 nm, and beating to 550°C collapses it to 1.0 nm. Certain micaceous clay minerals from which part of the metallic interlayer cations of the smectites has been stripped or degraded, and replaced by expand similarly. Treatment with strong solutions of... 

C-21 dicarboxyhc acids are produced by Westvaco Corporation in Charleston, South Carolina in multimillion kg quantities. The process involves reaction of tall oil fatty acids (TOFA) (containing about 50% oleic acid and 50% hnoleic acid) with acryhc acid [79-10-7] and iodine at 220—250°C for about 2 hours (90). A yield of C-21 as high as 42% was reported. The function of the iodine is apparendy to conjugate the double bond in linoleic acid, after which the acryhc acid adds via a Diels-Alder type reaction to form the cycHc reaction product. Other catalysts have been described and include clay (91), palladium, and sulfur dioxide (92). After the reaction is complete, the unreacted oleic acid is removed by distillation, and the cmde C-21 diacid can be further purified by thin film distillation or molecular distillation. 

Thermally efficient calcination of lime dolomite and clay can be carried out in a multicompartmeut fluidized bed (Fig. 17-27). Fuels are burned in a fluidized bed of the product to produce the required heat. Bunker C oil, natural gas, and coal are used in commercial units. Temperature control is accurate enough to permit production of hme of very high availability with close control of slaking characteristics. Also, half calcination or dolomite is an accepted practice. The requirement of large crystal size for the hmestoue limits apphcatiou. SmaU-sized crystals in the hmestoue result in low yields due to high dust losses.
