Black cohosh is also known as black snakeroot, bug-bane, bugwort, rattleroot, and rattleweed. It should not be confused with blue cohosh, a uterine stimulant historically used to induce labor. Black cohosh is used to treat menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, excessive sweating, emotional lability, and sleep changes. The exact active constituents are not known but are thought to include the triterpene...

A simplified flow diagram of a modern H2SO4 alkylation unit is shown in Eigure 1. Excess isobutane is suppHed as recycle to the reactor section to suppress polymerization and other undesirable side reactions. The isobutane is suppHed both by fractionation and by the return of flashed reactor effluent from the refrigeration cycle. 

Manufacture. Aqueous sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, or sodium sulfite solution are treated with sulfur dioxide to produce sodium metabisulfite solution. In one operation, the mother Hquor from the previous batch is reinforced with additional sodium carbonate, which need not be totally in solution, and then is treated with sulfur dioxide (341,342). In some plants, the reaction is conducted in a series of two or more stainless steel vessels or columns in which the sulfur dioxide is passed countercurrent to the alkaH. The solution is cooled and the sodium metabisulfite is removed by centrifuging or filtration. Rapid drying, eg, in a stream-heated shelf dryer or a flash dryer, avoids excessive decomposition or oxidation to which moist sodium metabisulfite is susceptible. 

In the laboratory, excess reagent in a product should be destroyed before workup. Addition of diluted aqueous ammonia is the most effective practice, if ammonia is otherwise acceptable. Combustibility is a minor problem. The open-cup flash point of 116°C for dimethyl sulfate is well above normal handling temperatures. Elammable, toxic vapors are given off at elevated temperatures. 

Drying of the poly(vinyl alcohol) is critical to both the color and solubiHty of the final product. Excessive drying temperatures result in high product color and an increase in the crystallinity, which in turn reduces the solubiHty of the product. Drying is initially subjected to a flash regime, where the solvent not contained within the particles is flashed off. This first phase is foUowed by a period where the rate is controUed by the diffusion rate of solvent from the poly(vinyl alcohol) particles. Because the diffusion rate falls as the material dries, complete drying is not practical. The polymer is therefore generally sold at a specification of 95% soHds. 

Fixed-roof atmospheric tanks require vents to prevent pressure changes which would othei wise result from temperature changes and withdrawal or addition of liquid. API Standard 2000, Venting Atmospheric and Low Pressure Storage Tanks, gives practical rules for vent design. The principles of this standard can be applied to fluids other than petroleum products. Excessive losses of volatile liquids, particularly those with flash points below 38°C (100°F), may result from the use of open vents on fixed-roof tanks. Sometimes vents are manifolded and led to a vent tank, or the vapor may be extracted by a recov-eiy system. 

Highest heat-transfer coefficients are obtained in FC evaporators when the liquid is aUowed to boil in the tubes, as in the type shown in Fig. 11-122 7. The heating element projects into the vapor head, and the hquid level is maintained near and usuaUy slightly below the top tube sheet. This type of FC evaporator is not well suited to salting solutions because boiling in the tubes increases the chances of salt deposit on the waUs and the sudden flashing at the tube exits promotes excessive nucleation and production of fine ciystals. Consequently, this type of evaporator is seldom used except when there are headroom hmitations or when the hquid forms neither salt nor scale. 

Entrainment losses by flashing are frequently encountered in an evaporator. If the feed is above the boiling point and is introduced above or only a short distance below the liquid level, entrainment losses may be excessive. This can occur in a snort-tube-type evaporator if the feed is introduced at only one point below the lower tube... 

The intermediate diphenylhydroxymethyl radical has been detected after generation by flash photolysis. Photolysis of benzophenone in benzene solution containing potential hydrogen donors results in the formation of two intermediates that are detectable, and their rates of decay have been measured. One intermediate is the PhjCOH radical. It disappears by combination with another radical in a second-order process. A much shorter-lived species disappears with first-order kinetics in the presence of excess amounts of various hydrogen donors. The pseudo-first-order rate constants vary with the structure of the donor with 2,2-diphenylethanol, for example, k = 2 x 10 s . The rate is much less with poorer hydrogen-atom donors. The rapidly reacting intermediate is the triplet excited state of benzophenone. 

In single-stage units which do not produce kerosene or other critical stocks, flash zone temperatures may be as high as 750 - 775 F. The principal limitation is the point at which cracking of distillates to less valuable gas or the rate of coke formation in the furnace tubes becomes excessive. 

Evaporation. The process of evaporation or distillation in the past was carried out in submerged-tube evaporators. These have been superseded by flash-type evaporators, which are more economical to run and reduce scale problems. The prcKess is suitable for brackish water, where the cost of chemical methods is excessive. The resulting distilled water is not palatable and re quires aeration to make it potable. 

MEA systems foam rather easily resulting in excessive amine can y over from the absorber. Foaming can be caused by a number of foreign materials such as condensed hydrocarbons, degradation products, solids such as carbon or iron sulfide, excess corrosion inhibitor, valve grease, etc. Solids can be removed with cartridge filters. Hydrocarbon liquids aie usually removed in the flash tank. Degradation products are removed in a reclaimer as previously described.
