When the production scale is relatively small, it is more benelieial to run the distillation process in batch mode. Batch distillation is commonly used in the line chemicals, specialty polymer, biochemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Only a single column is needed in batch distillation for multi-component separation, while a continuous distillation system requires multiple columns for such separation. In batch distillation, a single column can handle a wide range of feed compositions, various numbers of components, and various degrees of difficulty in the separation, thus providing great flexibility in the operation.

Step 4 deals with physical and chemical properties of compounds and mixtures. Accurate physical and chemical properties ate essential to achieve accurate simulation results. Most simulators have a method of maintaining tables of these properties as well as computet routines for calculations for the properties by different methods. At times these features of simulators make them suitable or not suitable for a particular problem. The various simulators differ ia the number of compounds ia the data base number of methods for estimating unknown properties petroleum fractions characterized electrolyte properties handled biochemical materials present abiUty to handle polymers and other complex materials and the soflds, metals, and alloys handled. 

Chemical and Biochemical Sensors. The sensitivity of the electrical properties of conductive polymers to chemical stimuli suggests they may prove useful in a number of sensing applications. 

Entrapment of biochemically reactive molecules into conductive polymer substrates is being used to develop electrochemical biosensors (212). This has proven especially useful for the incorporation of enzymes that retain their specific chemical reactivity. Electropolymerization of pyrrole in an aqueous solution containing glucose oxidase (GO) leads to a polypyrrole in which the GO enzyme is co-deposited with the polymer. These polymer-entrapped GO electrodes have been used as glucose sensors. A direct relationship is seen between the electrode response and the glucose concentration in the solution which was analyzed with a typical measurement taking between 20 to 40 s. 

The special topics discussed are (i) the biological aspects of heterocyclic compounds, i.e. their biosynthesis, toxicity, metabolism, role in biochemical pathways, and their uses as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and veterinary products (ii) the use of heterocyclic compounds in polymers, dyestuffs and pigments, photographic chemicals, semiconductors and additives of various kinds and (iii) the use of heterocyclic compounds as intermediates in the synthesis of non-heterocyclic compounds. 

In conclusion RAIRS, which affords high spectral resolution, is a very versatile nondestructive optical technique which does not depend on a vacuum environment. Vibrational spectra also serve as characteristic fingerprints for adsorbate molecules, adsorption configurations, and structures on metallic and dielectric substrates. Extension to include dielectric substrates opened new fields of application in polymer and biochemical research.

The mechanisms by which polymers undergo degradation in the human body are not yet completely understood. Examples of breakdown of these materials are illustrated by the embrittlement and excessive wear of polyester sockets exposed to the mechanical, biochemical and thermal stresses of the physiological milieu, as well as by the fatigue fractures, excessive wear and additional cross-linking (embrittlement) that have been observed in polyethylene sockets.
