Oxygenic organisms

Attack on metals can be a function of fuel components as well as of water and oxygen. Organic acids react with cadmium plating and 2inc coatings. Traces of H2S and free sulfur react with silver used in older piston pumps and with copper used in bearings and brass fittings. Specification limits by copper and silver strip corrosion tests are requited for fuels to forestall these reactions. 

Monomers for manufacture of butyl mbber are 2-methylpropene [115-11-7] (isobutylene) and 2-methyl-l.3-butadiene [78-79-5] (isoprene) (see Olefins). Polybutenes are copolymers of isobutylene and / -butenes from mixed-C olefin-containing streams. For the production of high mol wt butyl mbber, isobutylene must be of >99.5 wt % purity, and isoprene of >98 wt % purity is used. Water and oxygenated organic compounds iaterfere with the cationic polymerization mechanism, and are minimized by feed purification systems. 

Raw Material Purity Requirements. The oxygen process has four main raw materials ethylene, oxygen, organic chloride inhibitor, and cycle diluent. The purity requirements are estabHshed to protect the catalyst from damage due to poisons or thermal mnaway, and to prevent the accumulation of undesirable components in the recycle gas. The latter can lead to increased cycle purging, and consequently higher ethylene losses. 

The alcohol is a mobile liquid, light in colour, with a boiling point of 170°C. It is very reactive and will resinify if exposed to high temperatures, acidity, air or oxygen. Organic bases such as piperidine and n-butylamine are useful inhibitors. 

The most successful class of active ingredient for both oxidation and reduction is that of the noble metals silver, gold, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum. Platinum and palladium readily oxidize carbon monoxide, all the hydrocarbons except methane, and the partially oxygenated organic compounds such as aldehydes and alcohols. Under reducing conditions, platinum can convert NO to N2 and to NH3. Platinum and palladium are used in small quantities as promoters for less active base metal oxide catalysts. Platinum is also a candidate for simultaneous oxidation and reduction when the oxidant/re-ductant ratio is within 1% of stoichiometry. The other four elements of the platinum family are in short supply. Ruthenium produces the least NH3 concentration in NO reduction in comparison with other catalysts, but it forms volatile toxic oxides. 

Condenser leaks permit dissolved solids, oxygen, organics, and suspended solids to enter the CR system and from there to enter the FW system. This is a very serious problem and leads to feed system fouling and deposition and the depassivation of metal surfaces, which in turn induces pitting corrosion to occur.

James An early process for making mixed oxygenated organic compounds by the catalytic oxidation of petroleum fractions. The products were aldehydes, alcohols, and carboxylic acids. Developed by J. H. James at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh. 

Tar refers to a range of oxygenated organic constituents that are produced by the partial reaction of the biomass feedstock. These materials can be found in the hot gas stream as vaporized material or as persistent aerosols. They tend to condense at cooler temperatures.
