INDEX volume-selective

The new Colour Index volume Pigments and Solvent Dyes lists some 350 solvent dyes and gives their chemical structures, unlike earlier editions which named 800 dyes but included few structures. This fall in numbers is not because of any decreased use but rather the general contraction in numbers of all dyes used in the textile industry. Solvent dyes have been introduced not by attempts to synthesise new colorants but by selection and in some cases modification of known disperse dyes to meet the technical requirements. The majority of solvent dyes are azo compounds but among the blue dyes there are anthraquinones. The aqueous solubility of some of the parent sulphonated dyes has been reduced to acceptable levels by formation of their salts with heavy metals or long-chain alkylamines. 

It is planned to close the series with a volume containing a cumulated index and selected topics. 

Apart from a complete set of Beilstein s Handbuch and as many scientific journals with indexes as the Institution can aSFord, the following selected volumes are suggested as forming the nucleus of a small library for use in connexion with work in the organic chemistry laboratory. 

Both common and systematic names of compounds are used throughout this volume, depending on which the Editor-in-Chief felt was more appropriate The Chemical Abstracts indexing name for each title compound, if it differs from the title name, is given as a subtitle Systematic Chemical Abstracts nomenclature, used in both the 9th and 10th Collective Indexes for the title compound and a selection of other compounds mentioned in the procedure, is provided in an appendix at the end of each preparation. Registry numbers, which are useful in computer searching and identification, are also provided in these appendixes. Whenever two names are concurrently in use and one name is the correct Chemical Abstracts name, that name is adopted. For example, both diethyl ether and ethyl ether are normally used. Since ethyl ether is the established Chemical Abstracts name for the 8lh Collective Index, it has been used in this volume The 9th Collective Index name is 1,1 -oxybisethane, which the Editors consider too cumbersome. 

The solvent triangle classification method of Snyder Is the most cosDBon approach to solvent characterization used by chromatographers (510,517). The solvent polarity index, P, and solvent selectivity factors, X), which characterize the relative importemce of orientation and proton donor/acceptor interactions to the total polarity, were based on Rohrscbneider s compilation of experimental gas-liquid distribution constants for a number of test solutes in 75 common, volatile solvents. Snyder chose the solutes nitromethane, ethanol and dloxane as probes for a solvent s capacity for orientation, proton acceptor and proton donor capacity, respectively. The influence of solute molecular size, solute/solvent dispersion interactions, and solute/solvent induction interactions as a result of solvent polarizability were subtracted from the experimental distribution constants first multiplying the experimental distribution constant by the solvent molar volume and thm referencing this quantity to the value calculated for a hypothetical n-alkane with a molar volume identical to the test solute. Each value was then corrected empirically to give a value of zero for the polar distribution constant of the test solutes for saturated hydrocarbon solvents. These residual, values were supposed to arise from inductive and...

Manufacturers publish their product s performance characteristics as specifications, which are often used by the customer for comparison during the selection process. Table 1 shows the specifications of an Agilent 1100 Series Quaternary Pump, which is quite representative of other high-end analytical pumps. Note pulsation is particularly detrimental to the performance of flow-sensitive detectors (e.g., mass spectrometer, refractive index detector). Differences in dwell volumes and composition accuracy between HPLC systems might cause problems during method transfers. 

The first parameter A represents the selective pore rate (m /h). For a set volume of adsorbent contained in the Sorbex chambers, there is a known selective pore volume. This selective volume quantity is divided equally among the various adsorbent beds. Since Sorbex process simulates a moving bed process where adsorbent moves counter current to the process flow, the selective pore rate represents the quantity of selective volume that moves with every step or index of the rotary valve. One step of the rotary valve indexes the feed point from one bed to the next sequential bed position. 

The emission index in general is defined as the mass of pollutant emitted per unit mass of fuel consumed. In quasi-steady diffusion flames, this is the ratio of the mass flux of pollutant out of the flame to the mass rate of consumption of fuel per unit flame area. Depending on the application, it may be more desirable to consider only the flux of pollutant to the air or the sum of the pollutant flux to both air and fuel. The latter definition is selected here, and a pollutant balance for the flame then enables the emission index to be expressed as the ratio of the mass rate of production of pollutant per unit area to the mass rate of consumption of fuel per unit area. In terms of the mass rate of production of species i per unit volume cDj, the mixture fraction, and the magnitude of its gradient VZ, the mass rate of production of species i per unit area is...
