Applications liquid

The following subsections attempt to comment upon common impurities in commercial ionic liquid products and their significance for known ionic liquid applications. The aim is to help the reader to understand the significance of different impurities for their application. Since chloroaluminate ionic liquids are not produced or distributed commercially, we do not deal with them here. 

What is going to be the first area of broad, commercial ionic liquid application This is probably the question most frequently asked of everybody who is active in developing ionic liquid methodology. The answer is not easy to give. Some petrochemical processes are ready to be licensed or are in pilot plant development (as described in Section 5.2), but there is still some time needed to bring these applications on stream and to claim a broad replacement of existing technologies by ionic liquids in this area. For some non-synthetic applications, in contrast, the lead time from the first experiments to full technical realization is much shorter. 

Relief Yalve normally selected for liquid relief service such as hydraulic systems, fire and liquid pumps, marine services, liquefied gases, and other total liquid applications. The valve characteristically opens on overpressure to relieve its rated capacity, and then reseats. 

A reasonable throughput screening equipment consisting of six parallel reactor tubes was constructed. The system operates continuously and can be used for screening of various catalysts, different particle sizes and temperatures. Gas, gas-sohd and gas-solid-liquid applications are possible. The screening equipment is coupled to gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis. The constraction principles, the equipment as well as the application of the equipment is demonstrated with three-phase catalytic systems.

An ionic liquid can be used as a pure solvent or as a co-solvent. An enzyme-ionic liquid system can be operated in a single phase or in multiple phases. Although most research has focused on enzymatic catalysis in ionic liquids, application to whole cell systems has also been reported (272). Besides searches for an alternative non-volatile and polar media with reduced water and orgamc solvents for biocatalysis, significant attention has been paid to the dispersion of enzymes and microorganisms in ionic liquids so that repeated use of the expensive biocatalysts can be realized. Another incentive for biocatalysis in ionic liquid media is to take advantage of the tunability of the solvent properties of the ionic liquids to achieve improved catalytic performance. Because biocatalysts are applied predominantly at lower temperatures (occasionally exceeding 100°C), thermal stability limitations of ionic liquids are typically not a concern. Instead, the solvent properties are most critical to the performance of biocatalysts. 

Aeration injectors, like the one shown in Fig. 14-100 by Penberthy [a division of Houdialle Industries (penberthy-online.com/jetl.asp)], are used to provide mass transfer in gas-liquid applications, and simple impingement aerators (Fig. 14-101) are sometimes used for mass-transfer applications.

Hollow fibers have been tried as liquid-core fibers in spectrophotometry [118] and porous fibers have been well adapted for gas measurements [119,120]. The latter are made of porous polymers, which can trap indicators or reagents in the matrix with a very high permeability of gases and liquids. For liquid applications, porous silica gel has also been used [121],... 

Motionless mixers are highly effective for producing dispersions of immiscible liquids. Applications can be physical (e.g., for liquid-liquid extraction) or chemical (e.g., many nitration reactions). As with gas-liquid mixing, the most relevant parameter to measure for such applications is the Sauter mean diameter. 

It is important to mention that gas and vapours have different release characteristics than liquids, and that what is being discussed here is typical for gas, vapours and steam. Until 1985, the code allowed for liquid applications to have an overpressure of 25%. Until then, the same valve trim was used for both gases and liquids, resulting in the release characteristics shown in Figure 5.7. 

Thermal relief valves are small, usually liquid relief valves designed for very small flows on incompressible fluids. They open in some proportion of the overpressure. Thermal expansion during the process only produces very small flows, and the array of orifices in thermal relief valves is usually under the API-lettered orifices, with a maximum orifice D or E. It is, however, recommended to use a standard thermal relief orifice (e.g. 0.049in2). Oversizing SRVs is never recommended since they will flow too much too short, which in turn will make them close too fast without evacuating the pressure. This will result in chattering of the oversized valve and possible water hammer in liquid applications. 

Tables 9.1 and 9.2 show maximum backpressure percentages on gas/vapour and liquid applications, respectively.
