Hquid argon

Some oxygea productioa faciHties are built solely to supply Hquid oxygea, and generally Hquid nitrogen and Hquid argon, via tmck to generally smaller customers. These plants typically use a process cycle optimized for total Hquid production.

Phenyllithium can be used as a solution in ethyl ether, but because of its limited stabUity (t 2 = 12 d at 35° C) it is commercially available in solution in mixtures, usuaUy 70 30 wt % cyclohexane ethyl ether (117). In this particular mixture of solvents, a 20 wt % solution, free of chlorobenzene, is stable for at least four months under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in sealed containers at room temperature. Phenyllithium is also available in dibutyl ether solution (117). It is classified as a flammable Hquid. 

Alkoxides should be stored under cool, dry conditions. The soHds are packed in polyethylene bags under nitrogen or argon that are shipped in dmms with foam mbber gaskets. For the Hquid alkoxides steel dmms are used, usually with a polyethylene liner. 

Mass spectral analysis of quaternary ammonium compounds can be achieved by fast-atom bombardment (fab) ms (189,190). This technique rehes on bombarding a solution of the molecule, usually in glycerol [56-81-5] or y -nitroben2yl alcohol [619-25-0], with argon and detecting the parent cation plus a proton (MH ). A more recent technique has been reported (191), in which information on the stmcture of the quaternary compounds is obtained indirectly through cluster-ion formation detected via Hquid secondary ion mass spectrometry (Isims) experiments. 

Basically, these involve the addition of three electronically activated Teflon valves to direct the flow of gas from the gas-hquid separator and over the Galahad instrument. One valve is controlled directly from the vapour generator and this only diverts the argon containing mercury stream over the gold trap for a preset time. The additional two valves are controlled by the Galahad cycle so that the revaporized mercury can be directed to the Merlin detector for measurement. In this manner the flows for preconcentration and the flows for measurement can be optimized individually. The operation of these valves is shown schematically in Fig. 7. IS.
