Technological limitations

Etom the customer s point of view, there is an optimal level of standardization. Increased standardization lowers costs but restricts choice. Furthermore, if a single minimal performance product standard is rigorously invoked in an industry, competition in a free market ultimately may lead the manufacturer of a superior product to save costs by lowering his product quaHty to the level of the standard, thus denying other values to the customer. Again, excessive standardization, especially as appHed to design or how the product performance is to be achieved, effectively can limit technological innovation.

Catalytic combustion is an environmentally-driven, materials-limited technology with the potential to lower nitrogen oxide emissions from natural gas fired turbines consistently to levels well below 10 ppm. Catalytic combustion also has the potential to lower flammability at the lean limit and achieve stable combustion under conditions where lean premixed homogeneous combustion is not possible. Materials limitations [1,2] have impeded the development of commercially successful combustion catalysts, because no catalytic materials can tolerate for long the nearly adiabatic temperatures needed for gas turbine engines and most industrial heating applications. 

For these reasons and for the need to push the analytical procedure to the minimum detection limits technologically available, the analysis of such compounds requires highly sophisticated instrumentation and, more important, careful clean-up and preconcentration procedures. 

In large part, this somewhat unsatisfactory approach stems from the use of oxide semiconductors as vehicles for study. From a chemical viewpoint, their choice is entirely logical since they are widely used as catalysts, but in every other respect they are unsuitable. Stone [2] has pointed out some of the limitations, which include the poor quality of oxide crystals in terms of structural perfection, stoichiometry and purity, the virtual absence of any theoretical or experimental evaluation of their surface electronic and crystallographic structure, except in the most elementary terms [3], and a very limited technology for clean surface preparation, such that part of the reported work may not have related to semiconductor surfaces at all because of the level of contamination.

All first generation fast breeder reactors have been shutdown or decommissioned with only the fast flux Test facility remaining in a standby condition awaiting final decommissioning. Fast breeder reactor development activities have been terminated with limited technology development in transmutation and pyroprocessing. 

Of these six, the first five concepts have been initially pursued at varying levels of effort within the United States based on the technology status and the ability of the concepts to meet national energy needs. Because of its limited technology base, further development of the MSR is not being pursued in the United States, but may be pursued by other countries. However, as these concepts continue to be developed, it is anticipated that future research within the United States will become focused on only one or two of the most promising concepts.

In states such as California and New Jersey, which have severe pollution problems, BACT (applicable in attainment areas) has been interpreted as either SCR or SNCR for certain applications. In other states that do not have a severe pollution problem, combustion control technologies have been acceptable. New sources must undergo a case-by-case review, and this has resulted in a trend toward lower NO, emission limits. Technology limits are not yet fully defined. 

Very few organometallic complexes can model this reaction. A model catalytic reaction that is stoichiometric with respect to the proton (AH) and the electron donors has been reported. Such a reaction is of limited technological relevance in its current form, as production of each mole of ammonia would require 6 mol of AH and B. ...
