Composition and manufacture

Compositions and methods of manufacturing commercial catalysts are proprietary. Roughly, however, commercial catalysts contain (mass%)  

2 - 5% sodium sulfate/pyrosulfate 5 - 15% cesium sulfate/pyrosulfate (when present) 

Purchased rings and pellets are carefully shipped in sealed barrels or in 1 m x 1 m x 1 m fiberglass bags. They are carefully loaded onto the acid plant s catalytic converter trays. The catalytic converter is then closed up and SO2 oxidation is begun as described in Section 7.6.1. 

Flow of 700 K SO2/SO3 bearing gas around the loaded catalyst causes it to form a vanadium oxide-alkali metal pyrosulfate melt on the surfaces of the catalyst s porous silica substrate. 

The steady state in situ composition of the catalyst melt is affected by the composition of the gas that is passing around the melt. It varies down the catalyst beds. 

In 2012, the price of K-, Na-promoted catalyst is estimated to be 6000 US per cubic meter. The price of K-, Na-, Cs-promoted catalyst is estimated to be 10,000 US per cubic meter. 

It is in this melt that catalytic SO2 +0.502- 803 oxidation occurs. 

A composition of a typical gasoline from a refinery is given in Table 7.1. The main constituents are branched alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons with one ring and alkenes. Toluene and isopentane (methyl butane) often occur in the largest concentrations. 

In catalytic cracking a heavy oil is pyrolyzed on an aluminosilicate catalyst at 700-1000 K, to produce a range of lighter products. The gasoline so produced has a high proportion of aromatics and alkenes. Other cracking processes produce similar, but lower quality products from heavier feedstocks. 

Hydrocracking combines both pyrolysis and hydrogenation (of cycloalkanes and alkenes) at about 700 K and 150 bar. It is especially useful for upgrading heavy or highly aromatic fractions with low H/C ratios. 

Reforming is a process which, while not greatly altering the size of the molecules, increases their knock resistance. Among these processes are isomerization of straight chain alkanes to branched hydrocarbons, cycliz-ation and dehydrogenation to aromatics and removal of the side chains of aromatics. The process produces much of the H2 used elsewhere in the refinery. 

Alkylation is a synthetic process in which lower alkenes (from catalytic cracking) are reacted in an acid medium (sulphuric or hydrofluoric acid) with small branched alkanes to produce Cg to Cg branched alkanes. These are probably the most desirable constituents of a gasoline, with good knock resistance and with fewer undesirable properties, such as tendencies to

Behind the relatively straightforward compositional nature of ophthalmic solutions, suspensions, and ointments, however, lie many of the same physicochemical parameters that affect drug stability, safety, and efficacy, as they do for most other drug products. But additionally, specialized dosage forms present the ophthalmic product designer with some extraordinary compositional and manufacturing challenges. These...

The term used in the table is only for general qualitative comparison because the actual properties and cost are determined by the specific composition and manufacturing processing of each material. 

The first successful static firing of plastisol propellant took place late in 1950 as part of a broad program conducted by Atlantic Research Corp. to investigate and evaluate plastisol propellants and methods for their manufacture (16). Major attention was directed to poly (vinyl chloride), cellulose acetate, and nitrocellulose, although other polymers were tested for their suitability (17). Patent applications were filed for plastisol propellant compositions and manufacturing processes, based on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) (19) and on nitrocellulose (18). The commercial availability of dispersion grade PVC enabled work with this resin to advance rapidly. The balance of this paper is devoted to a discussion of PVC plastisol propellants and their manufacture. 

Metals are rarely applied in their pure state. They are most often put to use in the form of alloys that exploit or strengthen desirable properties and overcome characteristics that limit performance. Alloys based on the carbides and nitrides of the transition metals of Groups 4 through 6 of the Periodic Table exhibit special physical and mechanical properties that result from manipulation of composition and manufacturing processes. 

The ingredient composition and manufacturing process are important for the different types of whippable emulsions. In many industrially produced whippable emulsions, functional ingredients, such as food emulsifiers and hydrocolloids are used to improve functionality and product stability.

Plastics are the most versatile and popular materials used in the manufacture of food packaging and other food contact materials (FCMs) with approximately 50% of all Europe s food packaged in plastics. This has come about through the ready availability of a variety of plastics with different permutations of properties, so that the ideal materials (or combination of materials) can be selected to satisfy most applications, particularly with the increasing performance demands in recent years. Section 10.3 of this chapter briefly discusses the different plastics used in the manufacturing of FCMs, their key attributes and properties, composition and manufacture. 

Extensive studies on liposomes date back to the 1960s. Many good comprehensive review references exist on compositions and manufacturing of lipo-somes " including the article Liposomes as Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms in this volume. The earliest commercial liposomal formulations were developed for veterinary application (Novasome, IGI,...

One of the first major texts on the composition of foods was that of Konig, Chemie der menschlichen Nahrungs- und Genussmittel, which first appeared in 1879 and was republished in several editions. Other early texts considering this topic were Blyth s Manual of Practical Chemistry—The Analysis of Foods and the Detection of Poisons (1879), later revised as Blyth and Blyth, Foods Their Composition and Analysis and that of Tibbles, Foods, Their Origin, Composition and Manufacture. ...
