Technical data concerning applications, safe practices, handling, storing, and use of industrial gases, calcium carbide, and acetylene and its allied products are assembled by the International Acetylene Association, of New York, for its membership.

Hydrocarbon sorbate vibrations. IINS spectra have been recorded for a number of simple sorbate molecules within aluminosilicate zeolites, including hydrogen in A (40, 41). acetylene in X (4, ethylene in A (42) and X (44-46). and p-xylene (42) in X type materials. In addition to intramolecular modes, where interaction between the sorbate and the non-framework cations is strong (for example in the ethylene - silver zeolite A system (42)), vibrational transitions associated with sorbate motion with respect to the zeolite s internal surface can be observed. The latter modes, and the dependence of their frequencies on loading, structure and composition are of particular interest as they convey detailed information about the character of the zeolite - sorbate... 

Addition of the ferryl oxygen to the internal carbon of a terminal acetylene results, as already discussed, in prosthetic heme alkylation. Addition of the oxygen to the terminal carbon, however, is associated with intramolecular 1,2-shift of the terminal hydrogen to give a ketene (Ortiz de Montellano, 1986). The... 

The biggest step forward for the autogenous technology was the ability to safely store and transport gases under pressure in special steel cylinders. This is especially valid for acetylene for which special measures had to be taken as a result of its thermal instability (proneness to decomposition). Acetylene can only be stored and transported safely in steel cylinders if it is dissolved in a suitable liquid, such as acetone, at a maximum pressure of 25 bar and if the solvent with the acetylene dissolved in it is absorbed inside the steel cylinder by a porous mass which does not conduct heat well. The most urgent task of the national and international associations, e.g. Association for Autogenous Metal Processing e.V. , DVS...
