In the eady 1980s, the process was commercialized in New Zealand to convert offshore natural gas to 2200 m /day (14,000 barrels/day) gasoline. Since then some of the methanol has been diverted from fuel production to chemical-grade methanol production by a dding additional methanol refining capacity. [Pg.165]

Direct fuel appHcations of methanol have not grown as anticipated (see Alcohol fuels). It is used in small quantities in California and other locations, primarily for fleet vehicle operation. Large-scale use of methanol as a direct fuel is not anticipated until after the year 2000. Methanol continues to be utilised in the production of gasoline by the Mobil methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) process in New Zealand. A variant of this process has also been proposed to produce olefins from methanol. [Pg.282]

Mesitylene can be synthesized from acetone by catalytic dehydrocyclization (17). Similarly, cyclotrimerization of acetylenes has produced PMBs such as hexamethylbenzene (18). Durene has been recovered from Methanex s methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) plant in New Zealand (19). [Pg.506]

Although no consistently effective chemical repellent has been developed for vertebrate pests, some promising materials have been tested as repellents that are based on predator avoidance, specifically compounds from the secretions of predators. In 1995, synthetic sulfur compounds (two thietanes, a thiolane, and a substituted methyl sulfide, which were originally identified from the anal glands of the stoat, ferret, and red fox) suppressed browsing by the introduced AustraUan bmsh-tail opossum in New Zealand about as well as FEP (83). Suggestions were made that these compounds can be made more effective by the use of bitter compounds in a cocktail. [Pg.122]

Ka.un. This fossil resin, classified as a copal, is found in the South Pacific, primarily in New Zealand. It formerly was used in protective coatings. It is still used in the Kauri-butanol test (ASTM D1133) to determine the volume of thinner that can be added to a varnish formulation without causing turbidity. [Pg.141]

A stannic chloride pentahydrate—ammonium bifluoride formulation for fireproofing wool is commercially available and used in New Zealand and AustraHa (20) (see Elal retardants for textiles). [Pg.65]

Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate is also used to protect wood from wood destroying fungi and pests. Whereas it has mainly been used for this apphcation in New Zealand, it is being introduced into the Urhted States for this use. [Pg.205]

Cobalt is one of twenty-seven known elements essential to humans (28) (see Mineral NUTRIENTS). It is an integral part of the cyanocobalamin [68-19-9] molecule, ie, vitamin B 2> only documented biochemically active cobalt component in humans (29,30) (see Vitamins, VITAMIN Vitamin B 2 is not synthesized by animals or higher plants, rather the primary source is bacterial flora in the digestive system of sheep and cattle (8). Except for humans, nonmminants do not appear to requite cobalt. Humans have between 2 and 5 mg of vitamin B22, and deficiency results in the development of pernicious anemia. The wasting disease in sheep and cattle is known as bush sickness in New Zealand, salt sickness in Florida, pine sickness in Scotland, and coast disease in AustraUa. These are essentially the same symptomatically, and are caused by cobalt deficiency. Symptoms include initial lack of appetite followed by scaliness of skin, lack of coordination, loss of flesh, pale mucous membranes, and retarded growth. The total laboratory synthesis of vitamin B 2 was completed in 65—70 steps over a period of eleven years (31). The complex stmcture was reported by Dorothy Crowfoot-Hodgkin in 1961 (32) for which she was awarded a Nobel prize in 1964. [Pg.379]

Direct geothermal energy is used for space heating of homes, greenhouses, livestock barns, and fish-farm ponds. As well, it is employed as a heat source in some industrial processes, such as paper production in New Zealand and diying diatomite in Iceland. Since the industrial applications usually require high-... [Pg.576]

Another potential problem, particularly if geothermal water is not returned to its source, is land subsidence. For example, there has been significant subsidence at the Wanaker field in New Zealand. Finally, an annoying difficulty with geothermal heat has been the noise produced by escaping steam and water. The shriek of the high-pressure fluids is intolerable, and is usually dissipated in towers in which the fluids are... [Pg.578]

The award of a Beit Memorial Fellowship for medical research in 1933 provided him with more financial security and independence. Stacey moved to London and for the next 3 years worked full-time in Raistrick s laboratory. He was given the task of working on vaccines against typhoid fever. The work was successful eventually and the vaccines were used by the Royal Air Force and also were sent to the Air Force in New Zealand. Also, some advances were made in studies of the carbohydrate components of the vaccines. In addition to this research, he completed, by part-time study, the diploma course in bacteriology. [Pg.6]

In contrast to the controlled use of these compounds in the neighborhood of farms and human habitation, they have sometimes been used in a less controlled way against rodents and vertebrate predators, which causes problems in conserved areas. In a number of conserved islands in New Zealand, for example, bait containing brodiphacoum has been used for rodent control, both at bait stations and by aerial distribution (Eason et al. 2002). In the latter case, poisoned bait is freely available, and herbivores and omnivores, as well as predators and scavengers are at high risk. This problem will be discussed further in Section 11.6. [Pg.223]

When ARs have been used to control rodents and vertebrate predators in conserved areas, there have been instances of both primary and secondary poisoning. In New Zealand, such incidents have been observed on islands where bait treated with brodifacoum has been used. Casualties have included native raptors, such as the Australasian harrier (Circus approximans) and morepork (Ninox novaeseelaniae), as well as other species, such as the pukeko. Western weka (Galliralus australis), and... [Pg.226]

Another important challenge is to enhance the reliability of the design and scale up of multi-phase reactors, such as fluidized bed reactors and bubble-colunms. The design uncertainty caused by the complex flow in these reactors has often led to the choice of a reactor configuration that is more reliable but less efficient. An example is Mobil use a packed-bed reactor for the methanol to gasoline process in New Zealand, even though a... [Pg.2]
