Other industrial applications of electrolysis include extraction/purification of metals from ores, electroplating, and the manufacture of certain chemicals such as sodium hydroxide. In the latter, sodium chloride solution when electrolysed is converted to sodium hydroxide to produce chlorine at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode. Both of these gaseous by-products are collected for industrial use chlorine is used in the production of bleach and PVC hydrogen is used as a fuel, to saturate fats, and to make ammonia. 

The product crystals find industrial application as a component raw material for optical glass, fibreglass, Braun tubes, electric condensers, barium ferrite, etc. Needles shaped crystals are obtained at high pH, while pillar-shaped crystals are formed at neutral pH. The formation of carboxyl ions is via hydroxy ions at high pH, but at neutral pH it may accompany the production of hydrogen sulphide, as... 

Abstract We briefly underline the relevance of TS-1 catalyst for industrial applications in mild oxidation reactions using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant and review the experimental works employed over last two decades for imderstanding the structme of the Ti centers in the bare TS-1 material. After an animated and controversial debate that has lasted in the literature until 1994, several works (reviewed here in depth) have definitively assessed that Ti atoms occupy framework positions substituting a Si atom and forming tetrahedral...

The use of an analogous (S)-BINAP-Ru-diacetate catalyst with axial chirality has led to important industrial applications, such as the synthesis developed by Monsanto where the asymmetric hydrogenation is involved in the last step to yield naproxen, a widely prescribed, non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (Equation (9)).96... 

Preparation of formamides from COz and a non-tertiary amine by homogeneous hydrogenation has been well studied and is extremely efficient (Eq. (12)). Essentially complete conversions and complete selectivity can be obtained (Table 17.3). This process seems more likely to be industrialized than the syntheses of formic acid or formate esters by C02 hydrogenation. The selectivity is excellent, in contrast to the case for alkyl formates, because the amine base which would stabilize the formic acid is used up in the synthesis of the formamide consequently little or no formic acid contaminates the product. The only byproducts that are likely to crop up in industrial application are the methylamines by overreduction of the formamide. This has been observed [96], but not with such high conversion that it could constitute a synthetic route to methylamines. 

The R,S-family 33, and of course its enantiomer, provide high enantioselectiv-ities and activities for the reductions of itaconic and dehydroamino acid derivatives as well as imines [141], The JosiPhos ligands have found industrial applications for reductions of the carbon-carbon unsaturation within a,/ -unsaturated carbonyl substrates [125, 127, 131, 143-149]. In contrast, the R,R-diastereoisomerof30 does not provide high stereoselection in enantioselective hydrogenations [125, 141]. 

The ability to efficiently synthesize enantiomerically enriched materials is of key importance to the pharmaceutical, flavor and fragrance, animal health, agrochemicals, and functional materials industries [1]. An enantiomeric catalytic approach potentially offers a cost-effective and environmentally responsible solution, and the assessment of chiral technologies applied to date shows enantioselective hydrogenation to be one of the most industrially applicable [2]. This is not least due to the ability to systematically modify chiral ligands, within an appropriate catalyst system, to obtain the desired reactivity and selectivity. With respect to this, phosphorus(III)-based ligands have proven to be the most effective.
