Material valuable

Two main properties render a material valuable for producing a pigment that it reflects light of a particular color and that it covers and hides underlying surface imperfections, a property known as hiding power. It is also these two properties that make pigments ideal materials for making paints, preparations used to decorate and protect surfaces and obliterate their imperfections (see Textbox 18). Paints have been made and used since very early antiquity (Colombo 1995 Ashok 1993). 

Amino-1,2,4-thiadiazoles79 and their 3-alkoxy-, 3-alkylmercapto-, and 3-dialkylamino derivatives84 have been claimed to be useful intermediates in the manufacture of dyes,84 pharmaceuticals,84 and materials valuable in pest control.79 Mono-azo dyes derived from diazotized 5-amino-l,2,4-thiadiazoles and coupling components of the benzene series are especially suitable for dyeing polymeric materials such as acetate rayon, polyamides, polyurethanes, polyesters, and... 

When the mol. percent of PHB in the copolymer exceeds about 30-40 percent, a liquid-crystalline melt is obtained. Up to about 60 mol. percent, order in the melt increases and melt viscosity decreases. Compositions containing about 60 mol. percent PHB can be melt-spun into fibers using standard extrusion techniques. It is the unusual combination of properties that makes this class of materials valuable for the formation of high-strength fibers and plastics.

Separation and recycle systems. Waste is produced from separation and recycle systems through the inadequate recovery and recycling of valuable materials from waste streams. 

Additional separation and recycling. Once the possibilities for recycling streams directly, feed purification, and eliminating the use of extraneous materials for separation that cannot be recycled efiiciently have been exhausted, attention is turned to the fourth option, the degree of material recovery from the waste streams that are left. One very important point which should not be forgotten is that once the waste stream is rejected, any valuable material turns into a liability as an effluent material. The level of recovery in such situations needs careful consideration. It may be economical to carry out additional separation of the valuable material with a view to recycling that additional recovered material, particularly when the cost of downstream effluent treatment is taken into consideration. 

Although the teclmiques described undoubtedly provide valuable results on various materials, the most useful infonuation almost always comes from a combination of several (chemical and physical) surface characterization techniques. Table B1.25.1 gives a short overview of the techniques described in this chapter. 

New metliods appear regularly. The principal challenges to the ingenuity of the spectroscopist are availability of appropriate radiation sources, absorption or distortion of the radiation by the windows and other components of the high-pressure cells, and small samples. Lasers and synchrotron radiation sources are especially valuable, and use of beryllium gaskets for diamond-anvil cells will open new applications. Impulse-stimulated Brillouin [75], coherent anti-Stokes Raman [76, 77], picosecond kinetics of shocked materials [78], visible circular and x-ray magnetic circular dicliroism [79, 80] and x-ray emission [72] are but a few recent spectroscopic developments in static and dynamic high-pressure research. 

The QSPR/QSAR methodology can also be applied to materials and mixtures where no structural information is available. Instead of descriptors derived from the compound s structure, various physicochemical properties, including spectra, can be used. In particular, spectra are valuable in this context as they reflect the structure in a sensitive way. 

Covers theory and applications of ah initio quantum mechanics calculations. The discussions are useful for understanding the differences between ah initio and semi-empirical methods. Although both sections are valuable, the discussion of the applications oi ah initio theory fills a void. It includes comparisons between experiment and many types and levels of calculation. The material is helpful in determining strategies for, and the validity of. ah initio calculations. 

The differential material balances contain a large number of physical parameters describing the structure of the porous medium, the physical properties of the gaseous mixture diffusing through it, the kinetics of the chemical reaction and the composition and pressure of the reactant mixture outside the pellet. In such circumstances it Is always valuable to assemble the physical parameters into a smaller number of Independent dimensionless groups, and this Is best done by writing the balance equations themselves in dimensionless form. The relevant equations are (11.20), (11.21), (11.22), (11.23), (11.16) and the expression (11.27) for the effectiveness factor. 

It is used in certain nickel-based alloys, such as the "Hastelloys(R)" which are heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant to chemical solutions. Molybdenum oxidizes at elevated temperatures. The metal has found recent application as electrodes for electrically heated glass furnaces and foreheaths. The metal is also used in nuclear energy applications and for missile and aircraft parts. Molybdenum is valuable as a catalyst in the refining of petroleum. It has found applications as a filament material in electronic and electrical applications. Molybdenum is an... 

You know how just a couple of paragraphs ago where the chemist first filtered the crude crystals from the chilled reaction mixture, then washed them with water or acetic acid Well, all that liquid filtrate has a lot of valuable, unreacted piperonal or benzaldehyde in it. To rescue the stuff the chemist dilutes the mixture with 500ml dHaO and extracts it with DCM. The DCM is washed with 100ml 5% NaOH solution then vacuum distilled to give a dark oil which is unreacted aldehyde. Hey That s a lot of good material that can be put through the process again. 

PROPENE The major use of propene is in the produc tion of polypropylene Two other propene derived organic chemicals acrylonitrile and propylene oxide are also starting materials for polymer synthesis Acrylonitrile is used to make acrylic fibers (see Table 6 5) and propylene oxide is one component in the preparation of polyurethane polymers Cumene itself has no direct uses but rather serves as the starting material in a process that yields two valuable indus trial chemicals acetone and phenol... 

We have not indicated the reagents employed in the reactions by which ethylene and propene are converted to the compounds shown Because of patent requirements different companies often use different processes Although the processes may be different they share the common characteristic of being extremely efficient The industrial chemist faces the challenge of producing valuable materials at low cost Success in the industrial environment re quires both an understanding of chemistry and an... 

After cleaning to remove coarse material, ie, cobs, and fines (broken com, dust, etc), the com is steeped in a sulfurous acid solution to soften the com and render the starch granules separable from the protein matrix that envelopes them. About 7% of the kernel s dry substance is leached out during this step, forming protein-rich steep-water, a valuable feed ingredient and fermentation adjunct. 

Wood is one of the oldest constmction materials in human use and continues to be an extremely valuable material to this day. Wood is lightweight, strong, stable, easily worked and fastened, a good insulator, warm to the touch, and pleasing in appearance, among many other attributes. 

Butane-Naphtha Catalytic Liquid-Phase Oxidation. Direct Hquid-phase oxidation ofbutane and/or naphtha [8030-30-6] was once the most favored worldwide route to acetic acid because of the low cost of these hydrocarbons. Butane [106-97-8] in the presence of metallic ions, eg, cobalt, chromium, or manganese, undergoes simple air oxidation in acetic acid solvent (48). The peroxidic intermediates are decomposed by high temperature, by mechanical agitation, and by action of the metallic catalysts, to form acetic acid and a comparatively small suite of other compounds (49). Ethyl acetate and butanone are produced, and the process can be altered to provide larger quantities of these valuable materials. Ethanol is thought to be an important intermediate (50) acetone forms through a minor pathway from isobutane present in the hydrocarbon feed. Formic acid, propionic acid, and minor quantities of butyric acid are also formed.
