Manufacturing processes acid filling

Neorecormon is one such product. Produced in an engineered CHO cell line constitutively expressing the EPO gene, the product displays an amino acid sequence identical to the native human molecule. An overview of its manufacturing process is presented in Figure 6.7. The final freeze-dried product contains urea, sodium chloride, polysorbate, phosphate buffer and several amino acids as excipients. It displays a shelf-life of 3 years when stored at 2-8 °C. A pre-filled syrine form of the product (in solution) is also available, which is assigned a 2 year shelf-life at 2-8 °C. 

Since the last edition of this book an electrochemical process for manufacturing chromic acid has been realized industrially. This is carried out in an electrolysis cell with two chambers separated by a cation-exchanger membrane. The anode side is filled with aqueous sodium dichromate solution, the cathode side with sodium hydroxide. Upon applying direct current oxygen is produced at the anode and hydrogen is produced at the cathode. H+-ions are formed on the anode side and OH -ions are formed on the cathode side. 

Absorption of solvent with sulphuric acid. This is another of the oldest methods for the recovery of solvent. It was first used for the recovery of alcohol and ether in the manufacture of artificial silk by the old Chardonnet process and was then widely applied in the manufacture of powder in Germany and Austria before and during World War I. The air containing alcohol and ether entered the tanks filled with sulphuric acid. The tanks were cooled from outside by spraying with water. 

Nitrogen In the production of ammonia by the Haber process (see p. 176) the ammonia is then used to make nitric acid, which is used in the manufacture of dyes, explosives and fertilisers In liquid form, as a refrigerant As an inert atmosphere for some processes and chemical reactions, because of its unreactive nature for example, empty oil tankers are filled with nitrogen to prevent fires In food packaging to keep the food fresh, for example in crisp packets where it also prevents the crisps being crushed (Figure 11.10)... 

Fillers. The buffering action of an alkaline filler is necessary to ensure permanence in filled paper. Retained alkalinity in the paper as it ages would resist any drop in pH that might result from absorption of either carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide from the air. Acidic fillers, such as certain types of clay, accelerate the aging process. Calcium carbonate is an ideal filling material for permanent paper as well as for some grades not requiring permanency. In fact, the work of Barrow made the use of calcium carbonate a requirement in the manufacture of permanent book papers (1).
