PCE

The difference between an MM calculation of the enthalpy of formation and a bond energy scheme comes in the steric energy, which was shown in Eile 4-3. The sum of compression, bending, etc. energies is the steric energy, E = 2.60 kcal mol in Eile 4-3. This is added to BE, as is the partition function energy contribution (see below), PCE = 2.40 kcal moP, to yield... 

Chlorinated C2> Perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) can be produced either separately or as a mixture in varying proportions by reaction of C2-chlorinated hydrocarbons, eg, C2-chlorinated waste streams or ethylene dichloride, with a mixture of oxygen and chlorine or HCl. 

Removal of Refractory Organics. Ozone reacts slowly or insignificantly with certain micropoUutants in some source waters such as carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethylene (TCE), and perchlorethylene (PCE), as well as in chlorinated waters, ie, ttihalomethanes, THMs (eg, chloroform and bromoform), and haloacetic acids (HAAs) (eg, trichloroacetic acid). Some removal of these compounds occurs in the ozone contactor as a result of volatilization (115). Air-stripping in a packed column is effective for removing some THMs, but not CHBr. THMs can be adsorbed on granular activated carbon (GAG) but the adsorption efficiency is low.

Refractoriness. Most refractories are mixtures of different oxides, sometimes with significant quantities of impurities. Thus, they do not have sharp melting points but a softening range. Refractoriness is the resistance to physical deformation under the influence of temperature. It is determined by the pyrometric cone equivalent (PCE) test for aluminosiHcates and resistance to creep or shear at high temperature (see Analytical methods).

Refractoriness. Refractoriaess is determined by several methods. The pyrometric cone equivalent (PCE) test (ASTM C24) measures the softening temperature of refractory materials. Inclined trigonal pyramids (cones) are formed from finely ground materials, set on a base, and heated at a specific rate. The time and temperature (heat treatment) requited to cause the cone to bend over and touch the base is compared to that for standard cones. 

The standard ASTM PCE test is relative and used extensively only for alumina—siUca refractories and raw materials (see Table 5). However, the upper service limit is generally several hundred degrees below the nominal PCE temperature because some load is generally appHed to the refractory duriag service. In addition, chemical reactions may occur that alter the composition of the hot face and therefore the softening poiat. The relationship between PCE numbers and temperature is described ia ASTM C24. 

Nonaqueous phase Hquids (NAPLs) present special problems for soil and ground water cleanup. Contaminant transport through ground water depends in part on the water solubiHty of the compound. Because NAPLs cling to subsurface particles and are slow to dissolve in ground water, they hinder cleanups and prolong cleanup times. Dense nonaqueous phase Hquids (DNAPLs) migrate downward in the aquifer and can coUect in pools or pockets of the substmcture. Examples of DNAPLs are the common solvents tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) which were used extensively at many faciHties before the extent of subsurface contamination problems was realized.

Chlorinated organics are hydrocarbons that have one or many chlorine atoms. Oxidation of chlorinated hydrocarbons yields COj, water vapor and hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas. Some typical chlorinated organics are TCE and PCE. These organics have calorific values as low as 5,000 BTU/lb.

The Freundlich liquid phase isotherm can be used to determine the effect of solubility on the adsorptive capacity of activated carbon over a range of different concentrations. Phenol is highly soluble due to its polar nature whilst, in comparison, tetrachloroethylene (PCE) has a low solubility due to being non-polar. In the isotherms illustrated, the concentration of phenol is low relative to its solubility limit and consequently, the adsorptive capacity peaks at 18% maximum (see Figure 9). In comparison the concentration of tetrachloroethylene is relatively close to its solubility limit and, accordingly, the adsorptive capacity is exceptionally good. 

At the maximum allowable EPA lc cl of 5 parts per billion (ppb) of PCE (tctrachlorocthylcne), a person would have to drink 2 L of water per day for 70 years to increase tlie risk of gelling cancer by 1 in 10,000.

Any combination of reaction products consistent with these conseiwation principles is possible. For example, in the neutron-induced nuclear fission of it is possible to produce Xe, Sr, two neutrons, and 185 MeV of energy. The most likely reaction products are close in atomic number to xenon pCe) and strontium (Sr), but the possibilities number in the hundreds. 

Figure 10. Primary cultures of mouse kidney cells. Primary cultures of kidney epithelial cells derived from 10-day-old mice were grown either in hormonally defined medium with five supplements (5 pg/ml insulin, 5 pg/ml transferrin, 25 ng/ml PCE, 5 X10" M hydrocortisone, and 5 x 10" M Tj), or in medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. After 10 days, primary cultures still were epithelial in morphology serum free (a) but were overgrown with fibroblasts with serum (b). (Taub et al., 1979 with permission.)...
