Oxygen-Carbon dioxide

Increasingly, plastics are being used as parenteral packaging (qv) materials. Plastics such as poly(vinyl chloride), polyethylene, and polypropylene are employed. However, plastics may contain various additives that could leach into the product, such as plasticizers (qv) and antioxidants. PermeabiUty of plastics to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor must be tested in the selection of plastic containers. Furthermore, the plastic should withstand sterilization. Flaking of plastic particles should not occur and clarity necessary for inspection should be present. 

Plasticized polymers have been observed to behave like miscible blends. The permeabiUties of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor in a vinybdene chloride copolymer increase exponentially with increasing plasticizer (4,5,28). About 1.6 parts plasticizer per hundred parts polymer is enough to double the permeabiUty.

During the liquefaction process, usually much of the oxygen, carbon dioxide, sulfur compounds and water are removed so that liquefied natural gas (LNG) IS nearly 100 percent methane. LNG takes up one-six-hundredth the volume of natural gas, with a density less than half that of water. 

Arctic Drilling. Corrosion problems encountered in arctic area drilling are no different from problems faced in other areas of the world. It is a general misconception that during arctic drilling corrosion-related problems are either not very severe or totally absent due to low temperatures. Cool temperatures may slow down the corrosion process. However, they also increase the solubility of oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, the net result can be an increase in the rate of corrosion. While cold temperatures may cause problems, the temperature fluctuation common in arctic environments can be a more severe source of corrosion-related problems [215]. 

For the purpose of corrosion, water is scaling or nonscaling. Scaling water tends to deposit generally protective hardness scales. Soft water does not scale and hence is potentially more corrosive especially when it contains dissolved gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, ammonia and sulfur oxides. 

The composition given in Table 2.8 is global and, for most components, is reasonably constant for all locations, but the water vapour content will obviously vary according to the climatic region, season of the year, time of the day, etc. However, only oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapour need to be considered in the context of atmospheric corrosion.

To apply these package criteria to polymer properties, a conversion was made based on a 10-12 oz. container with a surface area-to-volume ratio of 4.0 (in.2/oz.) and an average wall thickness of 0.030 in. The oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water permeability rates needed to meet these high barrier criteria over a six month shelf life are shown in Table III. Larger container sizes—16, 32, 48 oz. etc.—would permit slightly higher permeability factors for the same bottle criteria, because of their lower ratio of surface-to-volume. 

To remove oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other noncondensable gases from the condensate to maintain the necessary vacuum and to minimize the potential corrosion problems that these gases can cause in the condensate return system. 

In practice, the potential causes of boiler section corrosion are many and often commonplace. Initiators include oxygen, carbon dioxide, acid, caustic, copper plating, chelant, and even the water itself. In addition, mechanical problems may be an initiator of corrosion, which in turn may lead to boiler mechanical failure.

Steam/condensate line corrosion control. Control over steam and condensate line corrosion requires the control of oxygen, carbon dioxide (carbonic acid), and ammonia. 

Biodegradable films made from edible biopolymers from renewable sources could become an important factor in reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste. Proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides are the main biopolymers employed to make edible films and coatings. Which of these components are present in different proportions and determine the properties of the material, as a barrier to water vapor, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and lipid transfer in food systems (Gomez-Guillen et al. 2002 and 2009). 

Dry air at sea level and 20 has partial pressures of 159, 0.3, and 601 mmHg, respectively, for the three gases, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. In ambient air (contains water vapor of 17 rnmiHg at 20 ), the partial pressures of the gases... 

The consumables represent the essential food or nutritional reqirirements. Conventionally they include sugars, starches, proteins, vitamins, trace elements, oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen but bacteria are probably the most omnivorous of all living organisms and to the above list may be added plastic, mbber, kerosene, naphthalene, phenol and cement. One is left feeling that there is no substance which is immune to microbial... 

An ideal renewable resource will be one that can be replenished over a relatively short timescale or is essentially limitless in supply. The latter will include solar radiation, geothermal energy, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water. Nor should production or consumption of these resources contribute to the net atmospheric burden of carbon dioxide. Advantage can be taken of the fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide into plant material by the process of photosynthesis. 

The purify of the water changes constantly during the water cycle. As rain falls through the air, for example, the water dissolves some atmospheric gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and in industrial regions also such air pollutants as sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. Still more carbon dioxide... 

The lipid bilayer arrangement of the plasma membrane renders it selectively permeable. Uncharged or nonpolar molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and fatty acids, are lipid soluble and may permeate through the membrane quite readily. Charged or polar molecules, such as glucose, proteins, and ions, are water soluble and impermeable, unable to cross the membrane unassisted. These substances require protein channels or carrier molecules to enter or leave the cell.
