In the pyrolysis processes, a thermal degradation occurs between 400 and 600°C in the complete absence of oxygen. These processes are characterized by the indirect heating of the material through the furnace wall (or pipes). The pyrolitic products, the solid (mix of char metals and mineral matter) and the hot gases (condensable and noncondensable mixture), are collected. Their relative proportions depend on the nature of the material, the applied technology and the pyrolysis conditions, i.e. temperature, pressure, heating rate, etc. The reductive atmosphere of the furnace is mainly a function of the pyrolitic gas composition. 

When equal volumes of ammonia and boron trifiuoride are brought together, a compound PFgNH, is produced. This is a white opaque solid which can be sublimed without alteration. If one volume of the fluoride be brought in contact with two or three volumes of ammonia, tiie gases condense and flom colcNoless liquids having tiie composition and... 

The boundary between condensable and noncondensable components is somewhat arbitrary, especially because it depends on the range of temperatures where calculations are made. In this monograph we consider only common volatile gases (e.g. N2,... 

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a very common contaminant in hydrocarbon fluids, especially in gases and gas condensate, and is a source of corrosion problems. CO2 in the gas phase dissolves in any water present to form carbonic acid (H2CO3) which is highly corrosive. Its reaction with iron creates iron carbonate (FeCOg) ... 

Traditionally one categorizes matter by phases such as gases, liquids and solids. Chemistry is usually concerned with matter m the gas and liquid phases, whereas physics is concerned with the solid phase. However, this distinction is not well defined often chemists are concerned with the solid state and reactions between solid-state phases, and physicists often study atoms and molecular systems in the gas phase. The tenn condensed phases usually encompasses both the liquid state and the solid state, but not the gas state. In this section, the emphasis will be placed on the solid state with a brief discussion of liquids. 

Steps. Thermal-swing cycles have at least two steps, adsorption and heating. A cooling step is also normally used after the heating step. A portion of the feed or product stream can be utilized for heating, or an independent fluid can be used. Easily condensable contaminants may be regenerated with noncondensable gases and recovered by condensation. Water-iminiscible solvents are stripped with steam, which may be condensed and separated from the solvent by decantation. Fuel and/or air may be used when the impurities are to be burned or incinerated. 

To prevent such release, off gases are treated in Charcoal Delay Systems, which delay the release of xenon and krypton, and other radioactive gases, such as iodine and methyl iodide, until sufficient time has elapsed for the short-Hved radioactivity to decay. The delay time is increased by increasing the mass of adsorbent and by lowering the temperature and humidity for a boiling water reactor (BWR), a typical system containing 211 of activated carbon operated at 255 K, at 500 K dewpoint, and 101 kPa (15 psia) would provide about 42 days holdup for xenon and 1.8 days holdup for krypton (88). Humidity reduction is typically provided by a combination of a cooler-condenser and a molecular sieve adsorbent bed. 

The furnace is constmcted with a steel shell lined with high temperature refractory (see Refractories). Refractory type and thickness are deterrnined by the particular need. Where combustion products include corrosive gases such as sulfur dioxide or hydrogen chloride, furnace shell temperatures are maintained above about 150—180°C to prevent condensation and corrosion on the inside carbon steel surfaces. Where corrosive gases are not present, insulation is sized to maintain a shell temperature below 60°C to protect personnel. 

Using a 0—10% excess of chlorine and 100% excess of sulfur dioxide, conversions of around 50% are obtained. The Hquids in the reaction product are condensed and separated, the sulfur mono- and dichloride are returned for further reaction, and the excess gases are also recycled, producing an ultimate yield near 100% on all reactants. 

The 2ero and the interval of the KTTS are defined without reference to properties of any specific substance. Real measurements with real gas thermometers are much more difficult than the example suggests, and all real gases condense before 0 K is reached. 

The Weaton-Najarian zinc condenser was commercialized in 1936. The condenser and cooling well of the electrothermic furnace hold 48 t of molten zinc. Hot zinc-laden gases bubble through the zinc in the condenser and cause rapid circulation through the cooling well which is kept at 480—500°C by water coils. The off-gases are scmbbed and burned for fuel value. Scmbber water is ponded to recover blue powder. 

Mercury. In recovering mercuiy from cinnabar ores, the ore is crushed to minus 1.5 cm and fed to rotary Idlns, where it is calcined to over 800 K. Since the mercuiy exists as mercuric siilfide (HgS), the sulfur is oxidized to SO9 and the mercuiy vaporized. The gases are passed through cooling chambers, where the mercuiy condenses and is collected. Mercuiy vaporizes at 625 K. 

In many cases, cold spots on the reactor shell will result in condensation and high corrosion rates. Sufficient insulation to maintain the shell and appurtenances above the dew point of the reaction gases is necessary. Hot spots can occur where refractory cracks allow heat to permeate to the shell. These can sometimes be repaired by pumping castable refractoiy into the hot area from the outside. 

Another advantage is that wet ESPs can collect sticky particles and mists, as well as highly resistive or explosive dusts. The continuous or intermittent washing with a liquid eliminates the reentrainment of particles due to rapping which dry ESPs are subject to. The humid atmosphere that results from the washing in a wet ESP enables them to collect high resistivity particles, absorb gases or cause pollutants to condense, and cools and conditions the gas stream. Liquid particles or aerosols... 

In ordinary operation only condensate and non-condensed gases are removed from the exit steam chest. The connection for feeding the liquid to be evaporated may be attached to the body at any convenient point (D), but the discharge for thick liquor is usually in the center of the bottom (E). Suitable brackets are cast on the bottom to rest on the supporting steel. Most evaporators are provided with sight glasses. 

The final three phenomena, items 11 through 13, are addressed in the containment performance models of MARCH, accounting for mass and energy additions to the containment, the burning of combustible gases, the effects of core sprays, ice condensers, and suppression pools. MARCH calculates only the containment loads it does not model the containment failure.
