AH commercial processes for the manufacture of caprolactam ate based on either toluene or benzene, each of which occurs in refinery BTX-extract streams (see BTX processing). Alkylation of benzene with propylene yields cumene (qv), which is a source of phenol and acetone ca 10% of U.S. phenol is converted to caprolactam. Purified benzene can be hydrogenated over platinum catalyst to cyclohexane nearly aH of the latter is used in the manufacture of nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 chemical intermediates. A block diagram of the five main process routes to caprolactam from basic taw materials, eg, hydrogen (which is usuaHy prepared from natural gas) and sulfur, is given in Eigute 2. 

Aftertreatment The wetfastness of dyeings produced with acid dyes is often unsatisfactory. Formerly, tannic acid and tartar emetic were used, which form a 1 1 adduct on the material by hydrogen bonding. This process is expensive and said to be carcinogenic. Synthetic tanning agents (Synthanes) are preferred. They are condensation products of aromatic sulfonic acids with formaldehyde [106] or of phenols with formaldehyde, which are made water-soluble by reaction with bisulfite. These products deposit on the fiber surface and form an electrostatic barrier... 

Although cyclohexane oxidation dominates the market, because of cheaper raw materials, the hydrogenation of phenol remains competitive, offering better selectivity with fewer environmental and safety problems. In addition, this process allows efficient valorization of phenol-rich wastes from coal industries. Recently built plants make use of this technology, as reported by the engineering group Aker-Kvaerner (www.kvaerner.com, 2004). The availability of low-price phenol is the most important element for profitability. Besides the well-known cumene process, a promising route is the selective oxidation of benzene with N20 on iron-modified ZSM-5 catalyst [12]. In this way, the price of phenol may become independent of the market of acetone. 

Analytical methods used for determining DNOC in environmental samples are given in Table 6-2. Most of the methods for products, waters, soils, and sludges rely on extraction of DNOC from an acidified matrix acidification minimizes dissociation of the phenolic hydrogen and thus facilitates extraction into an organic solvent or adsorption onto a solid phase extraction medium. The influence of pH on the adsorption of DNOC to humic materials in coal waste waters has been studied (Porschmann and Stottmeister 1993) and significant adsorption was found to occur at pH 7 but not... 

Reiser expanded the diffusion model for dissolution of novolac 13-24) using percolation theory (25, 2d) as a theoretical framework. Percolation theory describes the macroscopic event, the dissolution of resist into the developer, without necessarily understanding the microscopic interactions that dictate the resist behavior. Reiser views the resist as an amphiphilic material a hydrophobic solid in which is embedded a finite number of hydrophilic active sites (the phenolic hydrogens). When applied to a thin film of resist, developer diffuses into the film by moving from active site to active site. When the hydroxide ion approaches an active site, it deprotonates the phenol generating an ionic form of the polymer. In Reiser s model, the rate of dissolution of the resin. .. is predicated on the deprotonation process [and] is controlled by the diffusion of developer into the polymer matrix (27). 

The Eries rearrangement of phenol esters gives a mixture of 2- and 4-acylphenols (56). The reaction is cataly2ed by Lewis acids such as aluminum chloride or by Brmnsted acids like hydrogen fluoride. This reaction is used in the production of 4-hydroxyacetophenone [99-93-4] a raw material for...

A more interesting example is given with PVC and the polycarbonate of bis-phenol A, both slightly crystalline polymers. It is noticed here that whilst methylene dichloride is a good solvent and tetrahydrofuran a poor solvent for the polycarbonate the reverse is true for PVC yet all four materials have similar solubility parameters. It would seem that the explanation is that a form of hydrogen bonding occurs between the polycarbonate and methylene dichloride and between PVC and tetrahydrofuran (Figure 5.7). In other words there is a specific interaction between each solvent pair. 

Polyacene is classified as a material which does not belong to either soft or hard carbons [84], It is also made by heat-treatment of phenol resin. As the heat-treatment temperature is lower than about 1000 °C, polyacene contains hydrogen and oxygen atoms. It has a conjugated plane into which lithium ions are doped. It was reported that the discharge capacity of polyacene is more than 1000 mAhg. However, there are no practical lithium-ion batteries using polyacene.
