As mentioned earlier, we must also be able to infer the paraffin, naphthene and aromatic (PNA) composition of each boiling-point range given certain measured bulk properties to completely map feed information to kinetic lumps. The API (Riazi-Daubert) [54, 55] is a popular chemical composition correlation that takes the form ... 

Use correlations (with an appropriate choice for the set of correlation coefficients) proposed the preceding section to identify the PNA composition of the lump. ( )...

We apply this method to the feed specified in Table 5.1 using the ASTM D-86 distillation, specific gravity and individual PNA composition. We convert the ASTM D-86 distillation curve to a TBP curve and estimate the molecular weight (using standard API correlations). We then optimize the parameters to match the EP, 90% and 70% of the TBP curve, molecular weight and specific gravity. We compare the calculated and measured values in Figure 5.12 and Table 5.9.

The amount of benzene produced in a reformer will depend on the composition of the feed. Every crude oil has naphtha with different PNA (paraffin, naphthene, aromatics) content. In commercial naphtha trading, the PNA content is often an important specification. High naphthene and aromatic content would indicate a good reformer feed. High paraffin content would indicate a good olefin plant feed. 

Figure 7 shows the effect of proximity to the isoelectric pH upon the deposition rate. Particle and collector surfaces are identical in composition, both having equal numbers of acidic and basic groups (iVa = rYb). When widely separated, both surfaces were chosen to have a potential of —20 mV for all cases. This implies pH = 6.658 if pH, = 7. Next, p b was set at 10 for all cases and pNa was selected with the help of Eq. [10] so that pH — pH,-so has the value indicated on each curve. Finally, the number of acidic and basic groups was chosen to give the desired surface potential of —20 mV when the surfaces do not interact. 

Polymer adsorption has also been adapted to QCM sensing whereby biofunctional thin films are adsorbed on the crystal surface with non-specific binding controlled by tuning of polymer composition. This approach proved successful as applied to carbohydrate-protein interaction by Matsuura et al. through adsorption of lactose bearing amphiphilic polymers on hydrophobic surfaces which then showed RCA12o and peanut lectin (PNA) affinity [33]. Carbohydrate surfaces prepared by photo insertion into an adsorbed polymer were tested by QCM and showed the predicted affinities [34] while in another example a covalently bound glycopolymer demonstrated Concanavalin A detection ability [35]. 

Analyses of feed composition and of spent catalysts from the catalyst performance tests stxnv that there is a fwly good correlatioa between the amount of coke and the amount of PNA in the feeds as seen in figure 1. The amounts ci mono, di- or triarcnnatic compounds in the fised do not significantly influence the amount of coke. Since the sulfur compounds are almost exclusively found in the diaromatic fractions which often constitute the major part, the feed sulfur seems to be unimportant for coke formatioa These results show that the most important coke precursors must be present in the PNA fraction, which as mentioned also contains all the nitrogen compounds.

Top right Anisotropic absorption of the composite The crystals appear yellow only when the electric field vector E of the linearly polarized light oscillates in the direction of the transition dipole moment of the blue absorption of the pNA molecules. When E and these dipole moments are perpendicular to each other, no absorption occurs in the visible region, so that the pNA/AlPO -S crystals appear colourless.

Bottom right The measured SHG effect is a function of cos q>, where q> is the rotation angle of the polarization rotator. This result is in agreement with the expectation if it is assumed that the pNA molecules are aligned in the channels and their dipoles all possess the same orientation.

Since physical parameters were held constant in these experiments, the theoretical single collector efficiency, r/(p, c)theor, is constant at 0.00256. The experimental attachment efficiency, a(p, c)exp, however, varies from 0.014 to 0.94, depending on the chemical composition of the solution. In the presence of a high concentration of Ca2+, the attachment coefficient approaches 1. This means that, in the absence of a repulsive chemical interaction, the mass-transport rale as calculated with Eq. 4 successfully describes the performance of these laboratory columns. At low ionic strength (pNa = 3.0), the sticking coefficient is reduced to a value of 0.014 by repulsive chemical interactions (presumably primarily electrostatic) between the suspended latex particles and the stationary glass collectors. Only 1.4% of the contacts produced by mass transport lead to attachment and deposition of the latex particles from the suspension.

The production of coke by the carbonization of bituminous coal leads to the release of chemically-complex emissions from coke ovens that include both gases and particulate matter of varying chemical composition. The emissions include coal tar pitch volatiles (e.g., particulate polycyclic organic matter [PPOM], polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs], and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons [PNAs]), aromatic compounds (e.g., benzene and p-naphthylamine), trace metals (e.g., arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, lead, and nickel), and gases (e.g., nitric oxides and sulfur dioxide). 

In view of the large effect of changes in air-fuel ratio on PNA emissions, care must be taken in studying the effects of other variables, such as fuel composition, to make sure that variation in air-fuel ratio does not mask the prime variable under investigation. 

Octane number (important under severe conditions). In some locations oxygenates may constitute up to 10 of the composition of the gasoline. The author is not aware of any evidence linking either olefins or oxygenates with PNA in exhaust. 

In conclusion it may be expected that although there will be considerable changes in the composition and properties of European motor fuels during the next decade there is every hope that the effect on PNA emissions may be small. Technology to achieve this is available for the gasoline engine which will still make up more than 80% of our car population in the year 2000, and there is no reason to expect that the diesel will cause major concern.

For all samples analysed, hybridisation and wash steps with an added pair of PNA probes (wild-type and variant) were performed separately for each of the four polymorphic positions, as was the subsequent MALDI-TOF MS analysis. The separate spectra obtained for each of the four polymorphic positions were then added together to give a final, composite mass spectrum for each sample. In order to initially optimise the hybridisation and wash conditions, control experiments were done using synthetic oligonucleotide targets containing sequences corresponding to the possible alleles at each of the four point mutation positions. 

The results were positive and promising. Bagherzadeh et al. [81] found that the anticorrosion performance of a two-component water-based epoxy resin coating system was improved by adding only 0.02 wt% nano-PANI. Ahmad et al. [82] investigated the corrosion protection behavior of waterborne resorcinol formaldehyde (RF)-cured composite coatings of poly(l-naphthylamine) (PNA)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) on mild steel, and even superior corrosion protective performance was observed in different corrosive media when compared with the reported solvent-based conductive polymer coatings. 

Cobalt Catalysts. For Co catalysts, it has been reported that when the P 2/Pco ratio was lowered, the FT selectivity shifted to higher molecular mass products (14,87). This is similar to LTFT Fe catalysts (see the section Iron Catalysts under Gas Composition and Pressures ). However, contrary to LTFT Fe catalysts, but similar to HTFT Fe catalysts, increasing the pressure over Co catalysts increased the probability of chain growth (88). In a more recent study with Co supported on alumina, it was fovmd that the wax selectivity increased from about 0% at 0.2 MPa to about 60% at 4.0 MPa (52). The effect of pressure on a Ru catalyst is similar (48). Combining the observed effects of the Pna/ co ratios and total pressures, the selectivity of Co catalysts might be proportional to a factor such as P jPco, where r < 1.
