Lead acid, open, secondary

Collection systems must be open to all sources of lead-acid batteries. For example, garages and repair shops may remove batteries from wrecked vehicles. It is important to establish a network of all businesses that might recover a battery so that there are clear instructions for delivery to the approved nearest recycler of secondary lead. 

Note Actually not the true equilibrium voltage but only the open circuit voltage can be measured with lead-acid batteries. Due to the unavoidable secondary reactions of hydrogen and oxygen evolution and grid corrosion, mixed potentials are established at both electrodes, which are a little different from the true equilibrium potentials (cf Fig. 1.18). But the differences are small and can be ignored. 

The development of composite micro/mesoporous materials opens new perspectives for the improvement of zeolytic catalysts. These materials combine the advantages of both zeolites and mesoporous molecular sieves, in particular, strong acidity, high thermal and hydrothermal stability and improved diffusivity of bulky molecules due to reduction of the intracrystalline diffusion path length, resulting from creation of secondary mesoporous structure. It can be expected that the creation of secondary mesoporous structure in zeolitic crystals, on the one hand, will result in the improvement of the effectiveness factor in hydroisomerization process and, on the other hand, will lead to the decrease of the residence time of products and minimization of secondary reactions, such as cracking. This will result in an increase of both the conversion and the selectivity to isomerization products. 

Similar to the addition of secondary phosphine-borane complexes to alkynes described in Scheme 6.137, the same hydrophosphination agents can also be added to alkenes under broadly similar reaction conditions, leading to alkylarylphosphines (Scheme 6.138) [274], Again, the expected anti-Markovnikov addition products were obtained exclusively. In some cases, the additions also proceeded at room temperature, but required much longer reaction times (2 days). Treatment of the phosphine-borane complexes with a chiral alkene such as (-)-/ -pinene led to chiral cyclohexene derivatives through a radical-initiated ring-opening mechanism. In related work, Ackerman and coworkers described microwave-assisted Lewis acid-mediated inter-molecular hydroamination reactions of norbornene [275]. 

The Tafel rearrangement only occurs in acid medium. Simultaneous reduction of both carbonyl groups leads to interaction and formation of a cyclopropane. Acid catalysed cyclopropane ring opening follows to yield an a-diketone 28 which undergoes the electrochemical Clemmensen reduction step to the hydrocarbon. Side products include the two monoketones derived by partial deoxygenation of the a-diketone and the secondary alcohols from reduction of these raonoketones. Separate experiments show that the a-diketone 28 can be reduced to the hydrocarbon. 

Pyran 85b readily gave with various primary amines RNH2 at room temperature ring-opened products formulated as 506.62 If hydrazine hydrochloride or A,A -dimethylhydrazine and perchloric acid were used instead of the amines, the ring opening was accompanied by a secondary ring closure to lead to bispyrazolyl derivatives 507 or 508, respectively.418...
