The reactions described in this section are used for the quantitative analysis of sulphones. Extreme, forcing, oxidizing conditions are used for these procedures. Sulphox-ides and sulphides may also be analysed in the same way and so the discussion also applies to these types of compounds. 

Figure 10.9 Tridimensional structure of GM-CSF.148 The tridimensional structure shows that the four methionine residues present on the molecule have different degrees of solvent exposure. The sulfur atoms are either fully exposed (residues M46 and M79), partially exposed (residue M36), or totally buried (residue M80). Forced oxidation experiments described in the text show that residue M80 is unaffected, whereas local structural constraints make M79 less susceptible to oxidation than predicted by the model. 

HRP-catalyzed oxidation of luminol in a FIA system was used to follow the development of H2O2 dnring forced oxidation of beer . A microreactor consisting of immobilized HRP placed in the CL cell, in front of a photomultiplier in a FIA system, is claimed to greatly enhance the CL signal. The CL response for cnmyl hydroperoxide (27) and f-BnOOH is much lower than for H2O2. The method was proposed for clinical... 

In the Dakota Gasification synfiiels plant in North Dakota, waste sulfur dioxide (SO2) reacts with ammonia and air to make AS that is 99.5% pure. It has a capacity of500 tonnes per day of granular AS. This process is referred to as the Ammonium Sulphate Forced Oxidation (ASFO) system. It was developed, patented and commercialized by General Electric Environmental Services, Inc. (GEESI). GEESI was acquired by Marsulex Inc. (North York, Ontario, Canada) in 1997243. 

Under zero-G conditions there is no natural convection and a forced oxidant flow is needed to maintain combustion. The minimum acceleration at which combustion of PMMA could still be observed in a system at rest, with, = 17 %, was 2 X 10 G. At small G, the heat is lost by convection and radiation. Information about the effect of radiation on the extinction of flame combustion of polymers may be derived from the Y , versus pressure relationship. For extinction due to radiation, Y , 1/P (k O.5I1). 

Assume a 180 MW boiler burning coal with 2.5% sulfur by weight, and a heating value of 12,767 BTU/lb. An appropriate limestone scrubber with forced oxidation would operate with a liquid/gas ratio of 130 gal. liquid per 1000 ft. of flue gas, and a pressure drop of Sin. water. Such a scrubber would consume 2.549 MW to operate, with the breakdown as shown in Table 3. This corresponds to 1.42% of the total power output of the plant. Such a scrubber would remove approximately 93% of the sulfur, while consuming approximately 13,000 Ib/hr of limestone being added at 35% solids. ...

In the vapor phase oxidation of benzene to maleic anhydride an active catalyst is necessary to force oxidation to rupture the ring without leading to complete destruction. Vanadium pentoxide or vanadium compounds such as tin vanadate have been successfully used for this purpose.26 In the oxidation of alkylated benzene compounds to benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, or phthalic anhydride, a milder form of catalyst is effective. The oxidation of naphthalene to naphthaquinone would also require a mild form of catalyst to prevent ring rupture caused by too severe oxidation. However, oxidation to phthalic anhydride may be realized under ordinary conditions by the use of such catalysts as have been found effective in benzene oxidation, i.e., oxides of the metals of the fifth and sixth groups of the periodic system, especially the oxides of vanadium and molybdenum. 

In the slurry scrubbing process, limestone dissolves at pH A to 6 and 55°C in both absorber and the hold tank/crystallizer. Because of HC1 accumulation from the flue gas, typical scrubbing solution contains 0.01 to 0.2 M CaCl2 C02 partial pressure can vary from near zero with forced oxidation to one atmosphere with CO2 evolution from the hold tank and is typically 0.1 atm in the absorber. Sulfite/bisulfite buffer can be present in concentrations up to 0.1 M. CaS03 and/or CaS04 crystallization must occur simultaneously with limestone dissolution. Buffer additives such as adipic acid should enhance both SO2 removal and CaC03 dissolution at concentrations of 3 to 10 mM (5).

Borgwardt (JL, 2) has recently discussed forced oxidation in limestone FGD scrubbing systems. It is shown (2) that even in a single loop limestone scrubber that forced oxidation increases the SO2 removal efficiency and utilization of limestone. 

Furthermore, forced oxidation can cause a decrease of scale formation in the scrubber tower since there is more CaSO seed crystal available in the scrubber.

Experiments in Slurries, In a slurry system, Borgwardt (14,8) studied enhanced oxidation in a pilot-scale scrubbing system (pH 4.5) with a forced oxidation tank. Even with advanced-design gas distributors, he found the overall rate of oxidation was limited by the mass transfer of oxygen to the solution. An air stoichiometry of 2,6 was used in this investigation. Neither gas distributor orifice size nor chloride concentration had an effect on the rate.

Nine forced oxidation runs were performed with manganese, manganese plus iron, Springfield limestone, or Springfield limestone plus fly ash. The common factor involved in all these runs was the presence of manganese ions in the scrubber liquor. The presence of manganese caused a significant reduction in the adipic...
