Gas AntisolventRecrystallizations. A limitation to the RESS process can be the low solubihty in the supercritical fluid. This is especially evident in polymer—supercritical fluid systems. In a novel process, sometimes termed gas antisolvent (GAS), a compressed fluid such as CO2 can be rapidly added to a solution of a crystalline soHd dissolved in an organic solvent (114). Carbon dioxide and most organic solvents exhibit full miscibility, whereas in this case the soHd solutes had limited solubihty in CO2. Thus, CO2 acts as an antisolvent to precipitate soHd crystals. Using C02 s adjustable solvent strength, the particle size and size distribution of final crystals may be finely controlled. Examples of GAS studies include the formation of monodisperse particles (<1 fiva) of a difficult-to-comminute explosive (114) recrystallization of -carotene and acetaminophen (86) salt nucleation and growth in supercritical water (115) and a study of the molecular thermodynamics of the GAS crystallization process (21). 

Low Leak Rate If friendly equipment does leak, it does so at a low rate, which is easy to stop or control. Examples already mentioned are spiral-wound gaskets, tubular reactors, and vapor phase reactors. 

The retrosynthetic elimination of olefinic stereocenters (E or Z) was illustrated above by the conversion 147 => 148 under substrate spatial control. It is also possible to remove olefinic stereocenters under transform mechanism control. Examples of such processes are the retrosynthetie generation of acetylenes from olefins by transforms such as trans-hydroalumination (LiAlH4), ci5-hydroboration (R2BH), or ci -carbometallation...

For all commercial devices, the proportional gain is a positive quantity. Because we use negative feedback (see Fig. 5.2), the controller output moves in the reverse direction of the controlled variable.1 In the liquid level control example, if the inlet flow is disturbed such that h rises above hs, then e < 0, and that leads to p < ps, i.e., the controller output is decreased. In this case, we of course will have to select or purchase a valve such that a lowered signal means opening the valve (decreasing flow resistance). Mathematically, this valve has a negative steady state gain (-Kv)2... 

A number of systems which in polymer literature are normally referred to as mesophases are obtained under kinetic control. Examples are the smectic phase of isotactic polypropylene [18,19], mesomorphic syndiotac-tic polypropylene [20-22], mesomorphic PET [23,24], and other instances where intermediate degrees of order result after quenching polymers from the melt to temperatures often close to Tg. In these cases disorder is plausibly more static than in bundles close to T0 and these phases usually crystallize upon heating to an appropriate temperature in the stable crystal phases. 

The final optimal control example addresses the possibility to design experiments characterized by a specific Hamiltonian. We consider the well-established...
