Density-driven

Another nickel cataly2ed process is described ia a Tolochimie patent (28). Reaction conditions claimed are 1—2.4 MPa (150—350 psi) at 100°C minimum. The combination continuous stirred reactor and gravity decanter uses density-driven circulation between the two vessels to recirculate the catalyst to the reaction 2one without the use of filters or pumps. Yield and catalyst usage can be controlled by varying the feed rates. 

Boger et al. [50] analyzed the performance of MLRs with internal density-driven circulation (IMLR). They found the gas-hquid mass transfer superior and the overall mass transfer performance comparable with those for slurry reactors. 

Planet Earth acquired an ocean early in its history, probably by 3.8 billion years before present. Most of the water is thought to have been released during the process of differentiation in which density-driven convection and cooling caused the still-molten planet to separate into layers of decreasing density, i.e., core, mantle, crust, and atmosphere. Once the crust had cooled sufficiently, gaseous water condensed to form a permanent ocean.

In a recent monograph (1990) on the density driven approach, Cioslowski [77] summarizes the development of density functional theory as follows ... 

The explicit construction to which Cioslowski refers is that provided by the density-driven approach, advanced in 1988. But, already in 1986, an alternative way for carrying out this explicit construction had been set forward by Kryachko, Petkov and Stoitsov [28]. This new approach - based on localscaling transformations - was further developed by these same authors [29, 30, 32, 34], by Kryachko and Ludena [1, 20, 31, 33, 35-37], and by Koga [51]. In this Section we show that Cioslowski s density-driven method corresponds to a finite basis representation of the local-scaling transformation version of density functional theory [38]. 

It is clear, therefore, that Cioslowski s approach based on density-driven orbitals [74, 75, 77], corresponds to a finite orbital representation of the local-scaling transformation version of density functional theory [38].

The above reactions have been generalized by Basolo (in equation 32)107 who considers that the presence of base is of fundamental importance. From a kinetic study on the oxidation of CoL4(NO) species (L4 = quadridentate Schiff base), the same author has proposed a mechanism in which the first step is shown in equation (33). He finds that base strength effects reaction rate. This suggests that electron density, driven onto the nitrosyl group by base addition, facilitates oxidation. Conversion to the nitro group then occurs directly at the NO ligand. 

The modern electronics era began at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1948 with the invention of the solid-state transistor, which replaced the large thermionic vacuum tube, the mainstay of the electronics industry for the previous 40 years. Transistors were smaller and much more robust than their vacuum tube counterparts and required much less power to operate. Electronic circuits of the 1950s and early 1960s were assembled from discrete transistors, diodes, and resistors, for example, but rapid advances in circuit complexity and density, driven by developments in computer technology, soon led to an impasse, namely, how to approach the problem of interconnecting hundreds, perhaps thousands, (some visionaries would have said millions) of discrete devices into a complex circuit.
