Composition of feedstock

The production of petrochemicals from feedstocks has also been an area of wide application of two-dimensional GC. A detailed knowledge of the composition of feedstocks and intermediates in the manufacturing process is central to obtaining... 

As expected, the composition of feedstock can greatly impact the pyrolysis product yields. Table 4.2 reports product yields from pyrolysis of various biomass and fossil feedstocks at 500°C. 

The facts in a knowledge base include descriptions of objects, their attributes and corresponding data values, in the area to which the expert system is to be applied. In a process control application, for example, the factual knowledge might include a description of a physical plant or a portion thereof, characteristics of individual components, values from sensor data, composition of feedstocks and so forth. 

Besides two different hydrolysis methods (i.e., acid hydrolysis and pretreatment without the addition of acid), two different pieces of pretreatment equipment were used to perform the experiments (Fig. 4). Acid hydrolysis was conducted in a microwave oven, while pretreatment was performed in a steam pretreatment unit. The microwave oven provides a closed system where the amount of water added is fixed and there is no loss of material during the process (17-18). On the other hand, the sampleshave to be rather diluted for the microwave oven to be efficient. Another disadvantage is that the microwaves penetrate the material only a few center-meters, and therefore this method is not feasible on a large scale. The microwave oven may, however, still be of interest in the laboratory as a screening method to analyze the composition of feedstock as well as to determine a range of optimal conditions for steam pretreatment. 

Example 2,2 A 10-stage column, with feed entering between stage 4 and 5, was used to separate a bensene-toluene mixture similar to that described in Example 2,1, The composition of feedstock hse changed, and the new feedstock contains 40% benzene. Relocating the feed nozzle requires column shutdown, which is costly, Is it necessary (Product composition specifications are as given in Example 2.1.)... 

Antibodies are very diverse in molecular properties, chemical characteristics, and biological activity. Purification strategies are therefore also diverse, since they are based on a large variety of molecular interactions. Antibodies have several common properties that are frequently exploited from the initial feedstock. Knowledge about the nature and concentration of impurities is the key to success. Therefore, the initial composition of feedstock is important when designing the separation process. The expression system can be selected to simplify the extraction-purification procedures. 

In addition to traditional monitoring analyses and standardised measurement of the various petroleum properties, modern analytical models now also include determination of the chemical composition of feedstock and recipes. 

With heavy cuts containing residues, there is insufficient analytical data to provide the detailed composition of feedstock and effluents. The aim (Neurock et al., 1989, 1990, 1994) in this case is therefore to artificially reconstruct an equivalent molecular population, whose global properties (density, viscosity, etc.) are the same as those measured on the actual feedstock. 

Point X in Figure 8.16 represents the composition of feedstock located between the 40 and 50 °C isotherms. By interpolation, the temperature at which this system starts to freeze can be estimated as about 46 °C. As point X lies in the region PBDC, pure para- will crystallize out once the temperature falls below 46 °C, and the composition of the mother liquor will follow line XYZ (i.e. away from point P) as cooling proceeds. At point Z (about — 15°C) on curve DC, meta- also starts crystallizing out. It is not necessary, however, to cool to near —15 °C in order to get a high yield of para-, as the following data, based on 100 kg of feedstock, show ...
