One has seen that the number of individual components in a hydrocarbon cut increases rapidly with its boiling point. It is thereby out of the question to resolve such a cut to its individual components instead of the analysis by family given by mass spectrometry, one may prefer a distribution by type of carbon. This can be done by infrared absorption spectrometry which also has other applications in the petroleum industry. Another distribution is possible which describes a cut in tei ns of a set of structural patterns using nuclear magnetic resonance of hydrogen (or carbon) this can thus describe the average molecule in the fraction under study. 

Economic Aspects. The estimated worldwide production of important industrial CFCs is shown in Table 5. Trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, and trichlorotrifluoroethane account for over 95% of the total production. Between 1986 and 1991 the production of CFCs has decreased dramatically due to global adherence to the provisions of the Montreal Protocol and eventually will be phased out entirely. Estimates of the distribution by use in 1986 and subsequent reductions in use are shown in Table 6. 

Molecular Weight Distribution. In industry, the MWD of PE resins is often represented by the value of the melt flow ratio (MER) as defined in Table 2. The MER value of PE is primarilly a function of catalyst type. Phillips catalysts produce PE resins with a broad MWD and their MER usually exceeds 100 Ziegler catalysts provide resins with a MWD of a medium width (MFR = 25-50) and metallocene catalysts produce PE resins with a narrow MWD (MFR = 15-25). IfPE resins with especially broad molecular weight distributions are needed, they can be produced either by using special mixed catalysts or in a series of coimected polymerization reactors operating under different reaction conditions. 

Marketing Patterns. The cement industry has reduced its dependence on bag (container) shipments (54.7% in 1950) and turned to the more labor-efficient bulk transport (96% in 1990). In addition, the amount of cement shipped by rail transportation declined from 75% of industry shipments in 1950 to less than 14% in 1990. Table 11 summarizes the shipment distribution by cement type.

Equation (20.4.3) defines tlie pdf of the Weibull distribution. Tlie exponential distribution, whose pdf is given in Eq. (20.4.1), is a special case of the Weibull distribution witli p = 1. Tlie variety of assumptions about failure rate and tlie probability distribution of time to failure tliat can be accommodated by the Weibull distribution make it especially attractive in describing failure time distributions in industrial and process plant applications. 

Ross (R2) measured liquid-phase holdup and residence-time distribution by a tracer-pulse technique. Experiments were carried out for cocurrent flow in model columns of 2- and 4-in. diameter with air and water as fluid media, as well as in pilot-scale and industrial-scale reactors of 2-in. and 6.5-ft diameters used for the catalytic hydrogenation of petroleum fractions. The columns were packed with commercial cylindrical catalyst pellets of -in. diameter and length. The liquid holdup was from 40 to 50% of total bed volume for nominal liquid velocities from 8 to 200 ft/hr in the model reactors, from 26 to 32% of volume for nominal liquid velocities from 6 to 10.5 ft/hr in the pilot unit, and from 20 to 27 % for nominal liquid velocities from 27.9 to 68.6 ft/hr in the industrial unit. In that work, a few sets of results of residence-time distribution experiments are reported in graphical form, as tracer-response curves.

Production, Import/Export, Use, Release, and Disposal. Hexachloroethane is not manufactured for commercial distribution in the United States (Gordon et al. 1991 IARC 1979 Santodonato et al. 1985). However, current production as a by-product and import information are not available. Current uses of this chemical and the amounts consumed by each use, including militaiy uses, were not located. This information would be helpful in assessing potential exposure to workers and the general population. The amount of the chemical disposed of by industrial facilities was reported to EPA (TRI93 1995), but information on quantities of hexachloroethane-containing wastes disposed of by military facilities was not located. Rotary kiln or fluidized bed incineration are acceptable methods for disposal of waste containing hexachloroethane (HSDB 1995). 

Trends in the use of antimicrobials by the plastics industry are reviewed with details of the market by industry, region, types of antimicrobials used, and the industry s distribution system. Also identified are manufacturers and formulators. Regulations regarding the development for new biocides are examined, and expected growth of the global plastic antimicrobial industry is forecasted, together with details of key drivers for the growth. 

Sewage and wastewater heat sources are usually not much colder than the buildings from which they come. A cascaded ICES can remove heat from waste water and transfer it to the distribution system which then acts as a secondary heat source for heat pumps in individual buildings. Waste heat is often lost into the environment by industrial facilities in the form of hot water. This hot water can be used directly by the heat pumps in a centralized ICES.

Exposure Levels in Humans. It has been speculated that the 1974 OSHA regulations have reduced workplace air levels of 3,3 -dichlorobenzidine (CPMA 1998). However, it would be important to conduct exposure studies to monitor air levels in the workplace to confirm this premise. The need for more information on the extent of air, water, and soil contamination by industrial plant emissions or waste sites eontaining 3,3 -dichlorobenzidine continues. There is httle information on exposure of children to 3,3 -diehlorobenzidine (or products derived from the compoimd). The compound has a very limited distribution and is not present in consumer goods (other than in insoluble pigmented forms). This information is necessary for assessing the need to conduct health studies on these populations.
