We have developed and validated a process-specific ILA assay based on the Threshold system of the company Molecular Devices for strain-specific host cell-derived E. coli protein contaminants in in-process and purified lots of BBG2Na (Dagouassat et ah, 2001a). This assay is based upon use of rabbit anti-HCP polyclonal antibodies derived from null cells. A manufacturing scale preparation of HCP was made starting with cell paste of...

Molecular modelling used to be restricted to a small number of scientists who had access to the necessary computer hardware and software. Its practitioners wrote their own programs, managed their own computer systems and mended them when they broke down. Today s computer workstations are much more powerful than the mainframe computers of even a few years ago and can be purchased relatively cheaply. It is no longer necessary for the modeller to write computer programs as software can be obtained from commercial software companies and academic laboratories. Molecular modelling can now be performed in any laboratory or classroom.

Some slurry processes use continuous stirred tank reactors and relatively heavy solvents (57) these ate employed by such companies as Hoechst, Montedison, Mitsubishi, Dow, and Nissan. In the Hoechst process (Eig. 4), hexane is used as the diluent. Reactors usually operate at 80—90°C and a total pressure of 1—3 MPa (10—30 psi). The solvent, ethylene, catalyst components, and hydrogen are all continuously fed into the reactor. The residence time of catalyst particles in the reactor is two to three hours. The polymer slurry may be transferred into a smaller reactor for post-polymerization. In most cases, molecular weight of polymer is controlled by the addition of hydrogen to both reactors. After the slurry exits the second reactor, the total charge is separated by a centrifuge into a Hquid stream and soHd polymer. The solvent is then steam-stripped from wet polymer, purified, and returned to the main reactor the wet polymer is dried and pelletized. Variations of this process are widely used throughout the world. 

Chromium Oxide-Based Catalysts. Chromium oxide-based catalysts were originally developed by Phillips Petroleum Company for the manufacture of HDPE resins subsequendy, they have been modified for ethylene—a-olefin copolymerisation reactions (10). These catalysts use a mixed sihca—titania support containing from 2 to 20 wt % of Ti. After the deposition of chromium species onto the support, the catalyst is first oxidised by an oxygen—air mixture and then reduced at increased temperatures with carbon monoxide. The catalyst systems used for ethylene copolymerisation consist of sohd catalysts and co-catalysts, ie, triaLkylboron or trialkyl aluminum compounds. Ethylene—a-olefin copolymers produced with these catalysts have very broad molecular weight distributions, characterised by M.Jin the 12—35 and MER in the 80—200 range.

Market Data. The largest U.S. manufacturer of molecular sieves for adsorbent and desiccant use is UOP, which has a production capacity of 18—20 million kg/year. W.R. Grace and Zeochem have about 7 and 2 million kg/year capacity, respectively (55). W.R. Grace is the largest producer of siUca gel desiccants. Activated alumina for use as adsorbent and desiccant is produced by LaRoche Chemicals (formerly Kaiser) and by Aluminum Company of America. About one-third of the U.S. supply of activated alumina adsorbent and desiccant is imported by Rhc ne-Poulenc. 

Flare Systems. There is a good chance that the operating company will not have anyone experienced in flare system design. For feasibility cost estimates, rough estimates can be made by comparison with existing plants or a vendor can be contacted for budget cost estimates for the flare stacks and associated knockout drum, burner tip, igniter, and molecular seal. 

The products of the process have a density of about 0.96 g/cm, similar to the Phillips polymers. Another similarity between the processes is the marked effect of temperature on average molecular weight. The process is worked by the Furukawa Company of Japan and the product marketed as Staflen. 

As with polybut-l-ene and many other vinyl monomers that contain an asymmetric carbon, isotactic, syndiotactic and atactic stmctures may be drawn. Using co-ordination catalysts such as mixtures of cobalt chlorides, aluminium alkyls, pyridine and water high-1,2 (high vinyl) polymers may be obtained. One product marketed by the Japan Synthetic Rubber Company (JSR 1,2 PBD) is 91% 1,2, and 51-66% of the 1,2 units are in the syndiotactic state. The molecular mass is said to be several hundred thousand and the ratio MJM is in the range 1.7-2.6. 

In 1968 the Monsanto Company announced the availability of novel soluble low molecular weight polyphenylene resins. These may be used to impregnate asbestos or carbon fibre and then cross-linked to produce heat-resistant laminates. The basic patent (BP 1037111) indicates that these resins are prepared by heating aromatic sulphonyl halides (e.g. benzene-1,3-disulphonyl dichloride) with aromatic compounds having replaceable nuclear hydrogen (e.g. bisphenoxy-benzenes, sexiphenyl and diphenyl ether). Copper halides are effective catalysts. The molecular weight is limited initially by a deficiency in one component. This is added later with further catalyst to cure the polymer. 

At this point, spectroscopists and molecular modellers part company because they have very different aims. Spectroscopists want to describe the vibradons of a molecule to the last possible decimal point, and their problem is how a force field should be determined as accurately as possible from a set of experimental vibrational frequencies and absorption intensities. This problem is well understood, and is discussed in definitive textbooks such as that by Wilson, Decius and Cross (1955).
