Heterogeneous catalysts are more common. However, they degrade and need replacement. If contaminants in the feed material or recycle shorten catalyst life, then extra separation to remove these contaminants before the feed enters the reactor might be justified. If the cataylst is sensitive to extreme conditions, such as high temperature, then some measures can help to avoid local hot spots and extend catalyst life ... 

Laser desorption is commonly used for pyrolysis/mass spectrometry, in which small samples are heated very rapidly to high temperatures to vaporize them before they are ionized. In this application of lasers, very small samples are used, and the intention is not simply to vaporize intact molecules but also to cause characteristic degradation. 

Hoffman Degradation. Polyacrylamide reacts with alkaline sodium hypochlorite [7681-52-9], NaOCl, or calcium hypochlorite [7778-54-3], Ca(OCl)2, to form a polymer with primary amine groups (58). Optimum conditions for the reaction include a slight molar excess of sodium hypochlorite, a large excess of sodium hydroxide, and low temperature (59). Cross-linking sometimes occurs if the polymer concentration is high. High temperatures can result in chain scission. 

At a holdup time longer than 10—15 min at a high temperature, resin degradation is avoided by keeping the rear of the cylinder at a lower temperature than the front. At short holdup times (4—5 min), cylinder temperatures are the same in rear and front. If melt fracture occurs, the injection rate is reduced pressures are in the range of 20.6—55.1 MPa (3000—8000 psi). Low backpressure and screw rotation rates should be used. 

Concentration and Aroma Recovery. Concentration of juice from deciduous fmit is best carried out using an evaporator that causes as httle thermal degradation as possible and that permits recovery of volatile materials important to the aroma of the fresh fmit, ie, essence. Evaporators that use a high temperature for a short time and operate under a vacuum, such as the APV Crepaco falling film plate evaporator or the Alfa Laval centrifugal... 

Fypass Flow Effects. There are several bypass flows, particularly on the sheUside of a heat exchanger, and these include a bypass flow between the tube bundle and the shell, bypass flow between the baffle plate and the shell, and bypass flow between the shell and the bundle outer shroud. Some high temperature nuclear heat exchangers have shrouds inside the shell to protect the shell from thermal transient effects. The effect of bypass flow is the degradation of the exchanger thermal performance. Therefore additional heat-transfer surface area must be provided to compensate for this performance degradation. 

Because high temperatures are required to decompose diaLkyl peroxides at useful rates, P-scission of the resulting alkoxy radicals is more rapid and more extensive than for most other peroxide types. When methyl radicals are produced from alkoxy radicals, the diaLkyl peroxide precursors are very good initiators for cross-linking, grafting, and degradation reactions. When higher alkyl radicals such as ethyl radicals are produced, the diaLkyl peroxides are useful in vinyl monomer polymerizations.
