Today, most of the sorghums grown in the United States are hybrids, developed by crossing varieties. For grain production, crosses involving kaffir and milo are most common. 

G. Lavandinol F. essence de lavandin Obtained by steam distillation of the flowering plant of Lavandula hybrida, a hybrid developed by crossing the true - lavender plant (Lavandula officinalis, Labiatae) with the spike lavender plant (Lavandula latifolia) to obtain better yields and a wider possible area of cultivation for the plants. Important cultivation areas are southern France, Spain and northern Africa. 

The basic scheme of this algorithm is similar to cell-to-cell mapping techniques [14] but differs substantially In one important aspect If applied to larger problems, a direct cell-to-cell approach quickly leads to tremendous computational effort. Only a proper exploitation of the multi-level structure of the subdivision algorithm (also for the eigenvalue problem) may allow for application to molecules of real chemical interest. But even this more sophisticated approach suffers from combinatorial explosion already for moderate size molecules. In a next stage of development [19] this restriction will be circumvented using certain hybrid Monte-Carlo methods. 

The Universal Force Field, UFF, is one of the so-called whole periodic table force fields. It was developed by A. Rappe, W Goddard III, and others. It is a set of simple functional forms and parameters used to model the structure, movement, and interaction of molecules containing any combination of elements in the periodic table. The parameters are defined empirically or by combining atomic parameters based on certain rules. Force constants and geometry parameters depend on hybridization considerations rather than individual values for every combination of atoms in a bond, angle, or dihedral. The equilibrium bond lengths were derived from a combination of atomic radii. The parameters [22, 23], including metal ions [24], were published in several papers. 

It is recommended that the reader become familiar with the point-group symmetry tools developed in Appendix E before proceeding with this section. In particular, it is important to know how to label atomic orbitals as well as the various hybrids that can be formed from them according to the irreducible representations of the molecule s point group and how to construct symmetry adapted combinations of atomic, hybrid, and molecular orbitals using projection operator methods. If additional material on group theory is needed. Cotton s book on this subject is very good and provides many excellent chemical applications.

The Aromax process was developed in the early 1970s by Toray Industries, Inc. in Japan (95—98). The adsorption column consists of a horizontal series of independent chambers containing fixed beds of adsorbent. Instead of a rotary valve, a sequence of specially designed on—off valves under computer control is used to move inlet and withdrawal ports around the bed. Adsorption is carried out in the Hquid phase at 140°C, 785—980 kPA, and 5—13 L/h. PX yields per pass is reported to exceed 90% with a typical purity of 99.5%. The first Aromax unit was installed at Toray s Kawasaki plant in March 1973. In 1994, IFP introduced the Eluxyl adsorption process (59,99). The proprietary adsorbent used is designated SPX 3000. Individual on-off valves controlled by a microprocessor are used. Raman spectroscopy to used to measure concentration profiles in the column. A 10,000 t/yr demonstration plant was started and successfully operated at Chevron s Pascagoula plant from 1995—96. IFP has Hcensed two hybrid units. 

Hybrid Crystallization/Adsorption Process. In 1994, IFP and Chevron announced the development of a hybrid process that reportedly combines the best features of adsorption and crystallization (59,99). In this option of the Eluxyl process, the adsorbent bed is used to initially produce PX of 90—95% purity. The PX product from the adsorption section is then further purified in a small single-stage crystallizer and the filtrate is recycled back to the adsorption section. It is reported that ultrahigh (99.9+%) purity PX can be produced easily and economically with this scheme for both retrofits of existing crystallization units as well as grass-roots units. A demonstration plant was built at Chevron s Pascagoula refinery in 1994. 

Advances in fundamental knowledge of adsorption equihbrium and mass transfer will enable further optimization of the performance of existing adsorbent types. Continuing discoveries of new molecular sieve materials will also provide adsorbents with new combinations of useflil properties. New adsorbents and adsorption processes will be developed to provide needed improvements in pollution control, energy conservation, and the separation of high value chemicals. New process cycles and new hybrid processes linking adsorption with other unit operations will continue to be developed. 

Process Concepts. Hybrid systems involving gas-phase adsorption coupled with catalytic processes and with other separations processes (especially distillation and membrane systems) will be developed to take advantage of the unique features of each. The roles of adsorption systems will be to efficiently achieve very high degrees of purification to lower fouUng contaminant concentrations to very low levels in front of membrane and other separations processes or to provide unique separations of azeotropes, close-boiling isomers, and temperature-sensitive or reactive compounds.
