Irishness

Synthetic Fuel. Solvent extraction has many appHcations in synthetic fuel technology such as the extraction of the Athabasca tar sands (qv) and Irish peat using / -pentane [109-66-0] (238) and a process for treating coal (qv) using a solvent under hydrogen (qv) (239). In the latter case, coal reacts with a minimum amount of hydrogen so that the solvent extracts valuable feedstock components before the soHd residue is burned. Solvent extraction is used in coal Hquefaction processes (240) and synthetic fuel refining (see Coal conversion processes Fuels, synthetic). 

Ghlorpropham. (3-Chlorophenyl)carbamic acid 1-methyl ester [101-21-3] (Chlorpropham, CJPC) (21) was patended in the early 1950s and is a carbamate. Its only use in the United States is on stored Irish potatoes to inhibit bud development. The potatoes, which are generally stored at temperatures >10° C for maximum flavor, are treated by passing a stream of air laced with chloropropham over the potatoes for 48 hours after which the potatoes are purged with pure air. 

This seaweed became known as Irish moss. The extraction and purification of the polysaccharide from Irish moss was patented in 1871 (29). This polysaccharide eventually became known as carrageenan it was not produced and marketed until 1937. 

Irish Whiskey. Irish whiskeys are blends of grain and malt spirits three or more years of age that are produced in either the RepubHc of Ireland or Northern Ireland and comply with the respective laws regulating their manufacture. Since no peat is used in the malting process, Irish whiskey lacks the smokey character of Scotch. In the manufacturing process, the malt is soaked in water and milled to produce the wort. The fermentation usually takes about 60 hours. The first distillation in a pot stiU yields a 22—23% alcohol product. A second pot stiU distiUation produces a product that is 45—46% alcohol. This is foUowed by a third distiUation in another pot stiU to yield the Irish whiskey of about 68—70% alcohol. 

Irish whiskey is matured in used barrels at about 63% alcohol. It is usuaUy considered more flavorful and heavier bodied than blended Scotch whiskeys.

Robert Boyle, an Irish chemist noted for his pioneering experiments on the properties of gases, discovered methanol (CH3OH) in 1661. For many years methanol, known as wood alcohol, was produced by heating hardwoods such as maple, birch, and hickory to high temperatures m the absence of air. The most popular modern method of producing methanol, which IS also the least costly, is from natural gas (methane) by the direct combination of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. Methanol also can be produced more expensively from oil, coal, and biomass. 

Charles Algernon Parsons was born in London on June 13, 1854, the son of a wealthy, aristocratic Anglo-Irish family that was scientifically veiy distinguished. His father, William Parsons (third Earl of Rosse), a member of parliament, was an engineer, astronomer, and telescope-maker who had built the largest telescope in the world. His mother, Mary Countess of Rosse, best remembered as a photographer, was adept at architectural design and cast-iron foundry work. 

Natural gas as distributed in the UK is obtained from various sources. These comprise primarily the southern North Sea basin, northern North Sea fields (both British and Norwegian), Morecambe Bay from the Irish Sea (used primarily for winter peaks) and gas from world sources imported in small quantities as liquefied natural gas (TNG). Gas from the different fields is of very consistent quality, and further blending, conditioning, etc. allows a gas of very consistent quality and specification to be distributed. 

Morecambe Bay The Morecambe Bay field is a recently developed gas field in the Irish Sea connected to the NTS by means of a gas pipeline to Barrow terminal. While it is possible to operate this field throughout the year, it is currently being drawn on only in the winter months as a form of peak-shaving. 

The quantity Jc3, like k2 and k2, is a constant This is the equation of an inverse proportionality. The fact that volume is inversely proportional to pressure was first established in 1660 by Robert Boyle (1627-1691), an Irish experimental scientist The equation above is one form of Boyle s law. 

Little work has been done on bare lithium metal that is well defined and free of surface film [15-24], Odziemkowski and Irish [15] showed that for carefully purified LiAsF6 tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran 2Me-THF electrolytes the exchange-current density and corrosion potential on the lithium surface immediately after cutting in situ, are primarily determined by two reactions anodic dissolution of lithium, and cathodic reduc-...
