Neutral injection heating

Resume IGNITION IN TOKAMAK WILL PROBABLY BE POSSIBLE BY NEUTRAL INJECTION HEATING BUT NI IS PROBABLY NO WAY FOR REACTOR HEATING. RADIO FREQUENCY RF) HEATING IS TECHNICALLY MORE PROMISING. A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION FOR COMMERCIAL TOKAMAK REACTOR HEATING CANNOT YET BE SAFELY PREDICTED. 

Additional heating up to ignition, for commercial reactors as well, is afforded by the additional heating methods already in use, viz., neutral injection and high-frequency heating. Neutral injection would require injectors for energies of over 300 KeV and so use would have to be made of negative ion sources, the technique of which has not yet been developed (Fig. 6). 

The method of high-frequency additional heating compared with neutral injection seems to entail fewer problems although (or perhaps because) it has not yet been so fully studied and tested experimentally. 

The materials of constmction of the radiant coil are highly heat-resistant steel alloys, such as Sicromal containing 25% Cr, 20% Ni, and 2% Si. Triethyi phosphate [78-40-0] catalyst is injected into the acetic acid vapor. Ammonia [7664-41-7] is added to the gas mixture leaving the furnace to neutralize the catalyst and thus prevent ketene and water from recombining. The cmde ketene obtained from this process contains water, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, and 7 vol % other gases (mainly carbon monoxide [630-08-0][124-38-9] ethylene /74-< 3 -/7, and methane /74-< 2-<7/). The gas mixture is chilled to less than 100°C to remove water, unconverted acetic acid, and the acetic anhydride formed as a Hquid phase (52,53). 

Ion engines are used in sateUites for orientation control. Cesium is vaporized in a vacuum and ionized as it passes through a heated porous tungsten disk, the ions are accelerated by an electric field to about 135 km/s and are neutralized by the injection of electrons and exhausted from the thmster. However, mercury, xenon, and argon-based ion engines are preferred. 

The reaction takes place at low temperature (40-60 °C), without any solvent, in two (or more, up to four) well-mixed reactors in series. The pressure is sufficient to maintain the reactants in the liquid phase (no gas phase). Mixing and heat removal are ensured by an external circulation loop. The two components of the catalytic system are injected separately into this reaction loop with precise flow control. The residence time could be between 5 and 10 hours. At the output of the reaction section, the effluent containing the catalyst is chemically neutralized and the catalyst residue is separated from the products by aqueous washing. The catalyst components are not recycled. Unconverted olefin and inert hydrocarbons are separated from the octenes by distillation columns. The catalytic system is sensitive to impurities that can coordinate strongly to the nickel metal center or can react with the alkylaluminium derivative (polyunsaturated hydrocarbons and polar compounds such as water). 

Swift A process for making monoammonium phosphate from liquid ammonia and phosphoric acid. The reactants are mixed with a special nozzle. The slurry product from the neutralization is injected into the top of a heated tower water flashes off as the product falls and the powdered product collects at the base of the column.

Because of the importance of soybean and soybean products in both human and animal nutrition their flavonoid content has been investigated many times. Thus, HPLC-UV and HPLC-MS have been applied for the determination of flavonoids and other phytochemicals in soybean extracts and in onion with and without hydrolysis, lg of onion was homogenized and mixed with 8 ml of methanol-water (8 2, v/v). After 2h the suspension was centrifuged at 4°C and the supernatant injected. Powdered soybean (500 mg) was defatted by 2 X 10 ml of hexane and further treated as the onion sample. Flavonoids were hydrolyzed by mixing 2 ml of extract with 2 ml of 2 M HC1 and heated to 130°C for 2 h. The solution was neutralized with 4 M of NaOH. Separation was performed in an ODS column (125 X 4.6 mm... 

Seventl candidate heating schemes, including plasma compression, the induction of moderate mrbulencc, the absorption of high-power oscillations al various characteristic frequencies, and healing to neutral beam injection—all have been subjected to research.
