The flame-ionization detector is a carbon counter each carbon atom in the solute molecule that is capable of hydrogenation is believed to contribute to the signal (compounds with C—C and C—H bonds), while the presence of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and halogen atoms tends to reduce the response. The detector is most sensitive for hydrocarbons. Practically, no response is obtained for inorganic gases, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and water. 

Combustion in an incinerator is the only practical way to deal with many waste streams.This is particularly true of solid and concentrated wastes and toxic wastes such as those containing halogenated hydrocarbons, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Many of the toxic substances encountered resist biological degradation and persist in the natural environment for a long period of time. Unless they are in dilute aqueous solution, the most effective treatment is usually incineration. 

Because of the existence of numerous isomers, hydrocarbon mixtures having a large number of carbon atoms can not be easily analyzed in detail. It is common practice either to group the constituents around key components that have large concentrations and whose properties are representative, or to use the concept of petroleum fractions. It is obvious that the grouping around a component or in a fraction can only be done if their chemical natures are similar. It should be kept in mind that the accuracy will be diminished when estimating certain properties particularly sensitive to molecular structure such as octane number or crystallization point. 

There are of course liquid-liquid equilibria between hydrocarbons and substances other than water. In practice these equilibria are used in solvent extraction processes. The solvents most commonly used are listed as follows ... 

The above equation is valid at low pressures where the assumptions hold. However, at typical reservoir temperatures and pressures, the assumptions are no longer valid, and the behaviour of hydrocarbon reservoir gases deviate from the ideal gas law. In practice, it is convenient to represent the behaviour of these real gases by introducing a correction factor known as the gas deviation factor, (also called the dimensionless compressibility factor, or z-factor) into the ideal gas law ... 

Identification of Aromatic Hydrocarbons. Picric acid combines with many aromatic hydrocarbons, giving addition products of definite m.p. Thus with naphthalene it gives yellow naphthalene picrate, C oHg,(N08)jCeHiOH, m.p. 152°, and with anthracene it gives red anthracene picrate, C 4Hio,(NOj)jCeHjOH, m.p. 138 . For practical details, see p. 394. 

The high acidity of superacids makes them extremely effective pro-tonating agents and catalysts. They also can activate a wide variety of extremely weakly basic compounds (nucleophiles) that previously could not be considered reactive in any practical way. Superacids such as fluoroantimonic or magic acid are capable of protonating not only TT-donor systems (aromatics, olefins, and acetylenes) but also what are called (T-donors, such as saturated hydrocarbons, including methane (CH4), the simplest parent saturated hydrocarbon. 

Isomerization (rearrangement) of hydrocarbons is of substantial practical importance. Straight-chain alkanes obtained from petroleum... 

The superacid-catalyzed cracking of hydrocarbons (a significant practical application) involves not only formation of trivalent carbo-cationic sites leading to subsequent /3-cleavage but also direct C-C bond protolysis.

The selective addition of the second HCN to provide ADN requires the concurrent isomerisation of 3PN to 4-pentenenitrile [592-51 -8] 4PN (eq. 5), and HCN addition to 4PN (eq. 6). A Lewis acid promoter is added to control selectivity and increase rate in these latter steps. Temperatures in the second addition are significandy lower and practical rates may be achieved above 20°C at atmospheric pressure. A key to the success of this homogeneous catalytic process is the abiUty to recover the nickel catalyst from product mixture by extraction with a hydrocarbon solvent. 2-Methylglutaronitrile [4553-62-2] MGN, ethylsuccinonitfile [17611-82-4] ESN, and 2-pentenenitrile [25899-50-7] 2PN, are by-products of this process and are separated from adiponitrile by distillation. 

Polyacetaldehyde, a mbbery polymer with an acetal stmcture, was first discovered in 1936 (49,50). More recentiy, it has been shown that a white, nontacky, and highly elastic polymer can be formed by cationic polymerization using BF in Hquid ethylene (51). At temperatures below —75° C using anionic initiators, such as metal alkyls in a hydrocarbon solvent, a crystalline, isotactic polymer is obtained (52). This polymer also has an acetal [poly(oxymethylene)] stmcture. Molecular weights in the range of 800,000—3,000,000 have been reported. Polyacetaldehyde is unstable and depolymerizes in a few days to acetaldehyde. The methods used for stabilizing polyformaldehyde have not been successful with poly acetaldehyde and the polymer has no practical significance (see Acetalresins). 

Dichloroacetic acid is produced in the laboratory by the reaction of chloral hydrate [302-17-0] with sodium cyanide (31). It has been manufactured by the chlorination of acetic and chloroacetic acids (32), reduction of trichloroacetic acid (33), hydrolysis of pentachloroethane [76-01-7] (34), and hydrolysis of dichloroacetyl chloride. Due to similar boiling points, the separation of dichloroacetic acid from chloroacetic acid is not practical by conventional distillation. However, this separation has been accompHshed by the addition of a eotropeforming hydrocarbons such as bromoben2ene (35) or by distillation of the methyl or ethyl ester. 

McCabe-Thiele diagrams for nonlinear and more practical systems with pertinent inequaUty constraints are illustrated in Figures 11 and 12. The convex isotherms are generally observed for 2eohtic adsorbents, particularly in hydrocarbon separation systems, whereas the concave isotherms are observed for ion-exchange resins used in sugar separations. 

Mobil MTG and MTO Process. Methanol from any source can be converted to gasoline range hydrocarbons using the Mobil MTG process. This process takes advantage of the shape selective activity of ZSM-5 zeoHte catalyst to limit the size of hydrocarbons in the product. The pore size and cavity dimensions favor the production of C-5—C-10 hydrocarbons. The first step in the conversion is the acid-catalyzed dehydration of methanol to form dimethyl ether. The ether subsequendy is converted to light olefins, then heavier olefins, paraffins, and aromatics. In practice the ether formation and hydrocarbon formation reactions may be performed in separate stages to faciHtate heat removal. 

The basic flow sheet for the flotation-concentration of nonsulfide minerals is essentially the same as that for treating sulfides but the family of reagents used is different. The reagents utilized for nonsulfide mineral concentrations by flotation are usually fatty acids or their salts (RCOOH, RCOOM), sulfonates (RSO M), sulfates (RSO M), where M is usually Na or K, and R represents a linear, branched, or cycHc hydrocarbon chain and amines [R2N(R)3]A where R and R are hydrocarbon chains and A is an anion such as Cl or Br . Collectors for most nonsulfides can be selected on the basis of their isoelectric points. Thus at pH > pH p cationic surfactants are suitable collectors whereas at lower pH values anion-type collectors are selected as illustrated in Figure 10 (28). Figure 13 shows an iron ore flotation flow sheet as a representative of high volume oxide flotation practice. 

The higher members of the series decrease the surface tension of aqueous solutions well below the point possible with any type of hydrocarbon surfactant, although in practice because of their strong acid character and solubiUty characteristics, more commonly salts and other derivatives are employed. A 0.1% solution of C F COOH has a surface tension of only 19 mN/m (dyn/cm) at 30°C (6).
