Diverse Industrial Applications

PVDF is used in many diverse industrial applications for products that require high mechanical strength and resistance to severe environmental stresses. 

Carrageenan has diverse industrial applications including use in toothpaste, ice cream, chocolate milk, jellies, puddings, pet foods, pharmaceutical and industrial suspensions, antiulcer treatments, shampoos, creams, lotions, and oil/water and water/oil emulsions. Carrageenan reacts with denatiu-ed proteins and has been shown to exhibit properties similar to those of the animal mucopolysaccharides, such as anticoagulant activity and induction of growth of new connective tissue.

The improved physical and mechanical properties of the wood-plastic composites lead to a diversity of applications, e.g., automotive parts, furniture, construction (e.g., building panel, flooring veneers), toys, cutlery handles, industrial pattern, sports equipment, musical... 

Water tube boiler design and construction provide for much greater capacity, pressure, and versatility than FT boilers because of the subdivision of pressure parts and the ability to rearrange boiler components into a wide variety of configurations. As a result, steam output may be from under 1,500 lb/hr to several million lb/hr. Designers have, over the years, developed WT boilers for many diverse industrial process applications. 

Industrial applications of zeolites cover a broad range of technological processes from oil upgrading, via petrochemical transformations up to synthesis of fine chemicals [1,2]. These processes clearly benefit from zeolite well-defined microporous structures providing a possibility of reaction control via shape selectivity [3,4] and acidity [5]. Catalytic reactions, namely transformations of aromatic hydrocarbons via alkylation, isomerization, disproportionation and transalkylation [2], are not only of industrial importance but can also be used to assess the structural features of zeolites [6] especially when combined with the investigation of their acidic properties [7]. A high diversity of zeolitic structures provides us with the opportunity to correlate the acidity, activity and selectivity of different structural types of zeolites. 

Basic and applied researches on charged particle and photon-induced reactions of polymers are surveyed. The basic parts are fundamentals of radiation effects on polymers and pulse radiolysis studies on polymers. The intermediate parts are a great diversity of radiation effects on polymers and reaction mechanisms of electron beam (EB) and x-ray resists. The applied parts are economic scale of utilization of radiation and industrial application of radiation to polymers. 

Because of the wide application of these resins to diverse industries and their very different kinetic models and mechanisms of cross-linking and reactions, phenomenological kinetic models for epoxy, vinyl ester, and phenolic resins are presented in the next three subsections. 

Elemental boron is used in very diverse industries from metallurgy (qv) to electronics. Other areas of application include ceramics (qv), propulsion, pyrotechnics, and nuclear chemistry. Boron is nontoxic. Workplace hygienic practices, however, include avoiding the breathing of boron dust or fine powder. 

Synthetic methanol is one of the major raw materials of the organic-chemical industry. Methanol has economic stability and a stejdy growth rale ow-ing lo ihe low costs of production and diversity of applications. Nearly all Ihe methanol producers also make formaldehyde, which is...
