As already mentioned, the choice of fuels, and hence the selection of catalysts, also involves several parameters. Despite the fact that the NECAR activities demonstrated methanol reformer technology for the propulsion of an entire car, the toxicity of methanol motivated the reorientation of reforming activities to the more challenging conversion of conventional hydrocarbons, with additional challenges such as high-temperature stability and coking resistance for adapted catalysts. 

Macroscopically, ozonation leads to cracking of the rubber surface and ultimate product failure. A polar mechanism was proposed by Criegee for ozonation of unsaturated hydrocarbon rubbers, with addition of ozone to the carbon-carbon double bond followed by decomposition of the intermediate ozonide leading to cleavage of the polymer chain (80). Polymers without carbon bond imsaturation in the backbone do not crack in the presence of ozone. Zhang recently proposed a free-radical mechanism and attributed PPD antiozonant activity to its low ionization potential and ability to quench poljuner radicals (81). 

We have now learned the basic structures of hydrocarbons. These structures form the foundation of the other major grouping of organic compounds, functionalized hydrocarbons. Recaii from Section 6.3 that functionalized hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons with additional atoms or groups of atoms—called functional groups— incorporated into their structure. The insertion of a functional group into a hydrocarbon dramatically alters its properties. For example, consider the difference between ethane, a hydrocarbon, and ethanol, which contains the —OH functional group. 

In addition to the previoulsy mentioned less volatile higher hydrocarbons, hydrocarbons with a short chain, such as pentane and hexane, may also be found in fats. They form by cleavage of fatty acid hydroperoxides produced by oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. These hydrocarbons, not ranked among the Upid accompanying compounds, are easily removed by heating, so they do not occur in freshly refined oils. 

The potential advantages of LPG concern essentially the environmental aspects. LPG s are simple mixtures of 3- and 4-carbon-atom hydrocarbons with few contaminants (very low sulfur content). LPG s contain no noxious additives such as lead and their exhaust emissions have little or no toxicity because aromatics are absent. This type of fuel also benefits often enough from a lower taxation. In spite of that, the use of LPG motor fuel remains static in France, if not on a slightly downward trend. There are several reasons for this situation little interest from automobile manufacturers, reluctance on the part of automobile customers, competition in the refining industry for other uses of and fractions, (alkylation, etherification, direct addition into the gasoline pool). However, in 1993 this subject seems to have received more interest (Hublin et al., 1993). 

There has been considerable interest in the simulation of lipid bilayers due to their biological importance. Early calculations on amphiphilic assemblies were limited by the computing power available, and so relatively simple models were employed. One of the most important of these is the mean field approach of Marcelja [Marcelja 1973, 1974], in which the interaction of a single hydrocarbon chain with its neighbours is represented by two additional contributions to the energy function. The energy of a chain in the mean field is given by ... 

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. 

GopolymeriZation Initiators. The copolymerization of styrene and dienes in hydrocarbon solution with alkyUithium initiators produces a tapered block copolymer stmcture because of the large differences in monomer reactivity ratios for styrene (r < 0.1) and dienes (r > 10) (1,33,34). In order to obtain random copolymers of styrene and dienes, it is necessary to either add small amounts of a Lewis base such as tetrahydrofuran or an alkaU metal alkoxide (MtOR, where Mt = Na, K, Rb, or Cs). In contrast to Lewis bases which promote formation of undesirable vinyl microstmcture in diene polymerizations (57), the addition of small amounts of an alkaU metal alkoxide such as potassium amyloxide ([ROK]/[Li] = 0.08) is sufficient to promote random copolymerization of styrene and diene without producing significant increases in the amount of vinyl microstmcture (58,59). 

Cyclodienes. These are polychlorinated cycHc hydrocarbons with endomethylene-bridged stmctures, prepared by the Diels-Alder diene reaction. The development of these insecticides resulted from the discovery in 1945 of chlordane, the chlorinated adduct of hexachlorocyclopentadiene and cyclopentadiene (qv). The addition of two Cl atoms across the double bond of the ftve-membered ring forms the two isomers of chlordane [12789-03-6] or l,2,4,5,6,7,8,8-octachloro-2,3,3t ,4,7,7t -hexahydro-4,7-methano-lJT-indene, QL-trans (mp 106.5°C) and pt-tis (32) (mp 104.5°C). The p-isomerhas signiftcantiy greater insecticidal activity. Technical chlordane is an amber Hquid (bp 175°C/267 Pa, vp 1.3 mPa at 25°C) which is soluble in water to about 9 fig/L. It has rat LD qS of 335, 430 (oral) and 840, 690 (dermal) mg/kg. Technical chlordane contains about 60% of the isomers and 10—20% of heptachlor. It has been used extensively as a soil insecticide for termite control and as a household insecticide. 

Centrifugal separators are used in many modem processes to rapidly separate the hydrocarbon and used acid phases. Rapid separation greatly reduces the amounts of nitrated materials in the plant at any given time. After an explosion in a TNT plant (16), decanters (or gravity separators) were replaced with centrifugal separators. In addition, rapid separation allows the hydrocarbon phase to be quickly processed for removal of the dissolved nitric acid, NO, etc. These dissolved materials lead to undesired side reactions. The organic phase generally contains some unreacted hydrocarbons in addition to the nitrated product. 

SASOL. SASOL, South Africa, has constmcted a plant to recover 50,000 tons each of 1-pentene and 1-hexene by extractive distillation from Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbons produced from coal-based synthesis gas. The company is marketing both products primarily as comonomers for LLDPE and HDPE (see Olefin polymers). Although there is still no developed market for 1-pentene in the mid-1990s, the 1-hexene market is well estabhshed. The Fischer-Tropsch technology produces a geometric carbon-number distribution of various odd and even, linear, branched, and alpha and internal olefins however, with additional investment, other odd and even carbon numbers can also be recovered. The Fischer-Tropsch plants were originally constmcted to produce gasoline and other hydrocarbon fuels to fill the lack of petroleum resources in South Africa. 

Extraction Solvent. Dimethyl sulfoxide is immiscible with alkanes but is a good solvent for most unsaturated and polar compounds. Thus, it can be used to separate olefins from paraffins (93). It is used in the Institute Fransais du Pntrole (IFF) process for extracting aromatic hydrocarbons from refinery streams (94). It is also used in the analytical procedure for determining polynuclear hydrocarbons in food additives (qv) of petroleum origin (95). 

The dephlegmator process recovers a substantially higher purity C2+ hydrocarbon product with 50—75% lower methane content than the conventional partial condensation process. The C2+ product from the cryogenic separation process can be compressed and further separated in a de-ethanizer column to provide a high purity C3+ (LPG) product and a mixed ethylene—ethane product with 10—15% methane. Additional refrigeration for the deethanization process can be provided by a package Freon, propane or propylene refrigeration system.
