Heterogeneous Components

Another filtration approach concerns the addition of a filter aid after reaction, like powered cellulose, celite or powdered graphite [6a]. The solution is filtered and the catalytic behaviour of both components, solution and filter aid, is then tested and compared with the catalytic behaviour before the filter aid addition. This methodology was first described by Maitlis and co-workers for distinguishing a heterogeneous component in a starting... 

Heterogenous components see Section 10.11. Homogenous component kits see Section 10.6. 

There are two ways of fulfilling a spec. The hard way is to write the entire implementation yourself. The easy way is to find something that comes close to already doing the job and possibly bend the requirements to suit what you ve found. The latter is usually more economical if you re fairly confident of its provenance and integrity (see, for example, Section 10.11, Heterogenous Components). 

Rather than limit ourselves to a specific component technology, we then introduce the port-connector model of component architectures. We discuss a typical example of such an architecture and show how to specify and design with components in this architecture. Then we show how even ad hoc and heterogenous component systems are amenable to systematic development in Catalysis. 

Using an off-the-shelf calendar package, word processor, and spreadsheet in an assemblage of several heterogenous components and writing scripts so that these components together fulfill a particular business need. 

How hard this is depends on whether the two components use similar terms. If one happens to be designed specifically for the other, it s easy. If that s not the case but they are based on the same business model, it s not very difficult. If the models are entirely different, there s more work to do (for example, see Section 10.11, Heterogenous Components). 

We have applied the Catalysis ideas of modeling and behavioral abstraction to enable us to specify components aside from their implementations. We have also shown how to check that plugging a set of heterogenous components together meets a given set of requirements. 

For developing reusable assets, you would generally want to apply many of the techniques in this book. Reuse means investing in the quality of software the old argument that we don t have time to document can have only a negative effect in a reuse culture. The development of products or applications will also use many of the same techniques, but the process can be quite different (for example, see Section 10.11, Heterogenous Components). 

In contrast, if the system must be built from many heterogenous components and if the requirements can be shaped significantly by the ease of assembling those components, we can follow an Assemble route like this ... 

See Section 10.11, Heterogenous Components, for a complete example of how this might be done in practice. 

An example may be found in Section 10.8, Heterogenous components, on page 456. 

In spite of their relevance to air pollution and to the combustion of sulphur-contaminated fuels, kinetic data for the homogeneous decomposition of S03 are practically non-existent. The thermal decomposition is dominated by a heterogeneous component, even in clean silica vessels390 reactions of S03 at a glass surface are evident even at room temperature380. The kinetics of approach to the equilibrium... 

The recent syntheses of this compound have made it available for thermal studies (Wiberg and Lampman, 1963 Frey and Stevens, 1964 Srinivasan, 1963). Above 190° C, bicyclobutane isomerizes to butadiene. The reaction is predominantly homogeneous but there is some evidence for a small heterogeneous component of the reaction. The results of Srinivasan et al. (1965) yield the Arrhenius equation... 

Actual work on these heterogeneous components was almost entirely carried out inside the Eourteenth Street studio. This sancta sanctorum was described by a few privileged visitors as having been quite lacking in any overt signs of Duchamp s secretive artistic endeavors. One of those rare visi-... 

Since the work reported by McCartney et al. (9), ultrathin sections of other, more heterogeneous components and mixtures of components of coals of different rank have been prepared and observed. Procedures for minimizing artifacts have been learned and followed, and experience in observation has led to avoiding obvious faults. These sections were often not as large and continuous as those of homogeneous vitrinites, but adequate areas were available for electron microscopy. Observations of these various components revealed ultrafine structures of different size and form. Some of the structures can be correlated with those deduced from other direct or indirect study techniques others are unfamiliar and novel, and suggested interpretations are tentative. 

Mr. McCartney. No serious attention was paid to possible mineral matter in these observations. Very black small spots were seen casually in many of the sections, particularly of heterogeneous components. Our general impression is that no evidence was seen of extremely fine mineral matter in homogeneous vitrinite. 

More recent studies by Irvine and Knox [50] on the competitive oxidation of isobutane with ethane and propane at 300 °C have also led them to conclude that at low rates of reaction of isobutane a heterogeneous component leading to isobutene does indeed occur in parallel, but independently of the homogeneous reaction under most experimental conditions used in slow oxidation studies. They have suggested, however, in agreement with Semenov, that the reaction responsible probably involves the direct reaction of oxygen with isobutane adsorbed on the surface of the reactor (see p. 263), viz. 

Only a few attempts have been made to obtain kinetic data on the formation of H2S from and S. Bodenstein has shown that the reaction in a static system at temperatures near 300 °C is mainly surface catalyzed. Norrish and Rideal have also investigated this system finding both a homogeneous and heterogeneous component. All these studies were carried out at temperatures in the range 265-340 °C where molten sulfur is present in the system. For this reason and also because the identification of the species participating in the homogeneous reaction is not known, no rate coefficient data are available. 

The thermal decomposition is essentially homogeneous in a seasoned vessel, the heterogeneous component is not more than a few percent On the other hand, the reaction rate is different with a clean surface. The same applies to the reaction order and, to a certain extent, to the nature of the products as well ° . Only the investigations carried out in seasoned vessels will be dealt with. 

In an empty vessel, the reaction is practically homogeneous the heterogeneous component is only about 1 % " " . The pressure increase, accompanying the reaction, is nearly 200 % at high pressures, while at low pressures, it is smaller. 

Toluene carrier flow large heterogeneous component products were (C[Pg.488]

The thermal vapour phase decomposition of nitroglycerin in the temperature range 140-165° C obeys a first order rate law, but appears to have both homogeneous and heterogeneous components . 

Kiperman [31] also warns that detection of free radicals in the postcatalyst volume in itself cannot serve as concrete proof of their direct participation in the process. The relation also has to be revealed between the nature of these radicals formed in the volume and the intermediates of the true heterogeneous component of the reaction. Obviously, sophisticated analytical and characterization procedures are needed to elucidate the nature of the species reacting on and desorbing from a catalytic surface. A powerful tool to study adsorption and desorption of radicals from surface is laser-induced fluorescence, applied to hydroxyl and oxygen radicals by a number of researchers cf. Ref 37. Such techniques will continue to aid in the elucidation of heterogeneous-homogeneous mechanisms. 

This section is divided into four main sub-sections. The first three deal with equally important methods of analysis. The last is devoted to other methods that are not of general application. However, this does not mean to say that such methods have necessarily a minor role to play in the kinetic study of reactions. An obvious example is the use of the calorimetric method for determining the extent of a heterogeneous component of a gas-phase process.
