The main track Volume fader and the FX fader can operate as another set of Dry/Wet faders to control the mix of the effect. By default. Assignable FX are applied after the track volume is set (Post Volume), which means that if the track volume is set to —Inf., nothing leaves the track to be processed by the Assignable FX. Right-click the Multipurpose Fader and change when the Assignable FX is processed by selecting Pre Volume. 

The current and projected HDPE capacities are shown in Table 3, and producers of resins in Table 4. In most cases, an accurate estimation of the total HDPE volume is compHcated by the fact that a large number of plants also use the same reactors for manufacture of HDPE or LLDPE. UHMWPE is produced in the United States (Himont and American Hoechst), in Japan (Asahi), and in Germany (Hoechst) worldwide capacity is approximately 45,000 tons. The use of post-consumer (recycled) HDPE is gradually increasing in volume. The growth of recycling programs is driven principally by economics (110,114) it has increased from a mere 60,000 tons in 1989 to 350,000 tons in 1994 and is expected to increase to 1.4 million t in the year 2000 (115). 

Polymerization in Hquid monomer was pioneered by RexaH Dmg and Chemical and Phillips Petroleum (United States). In the RexaH process, Hquid propylene is polymerized in a stirred reactor to form a polymer slurry. This suspension is transferred to a cyclone to separate the polymer from gaseous monomer under atmospheric pressure. The gaseous monomer is then compressed, condensed, and recycled to the polymerizer (123). In the Phillips process, polymerization occurs in loop reactors, increasing the ratio of available heat-transfer surface to reactor volume (124). In both of these processes, high catalyst residues necessitate post-reactor treatment of the polymer. 

Surface analysis by non-resonant (NR-) laser-SNMS [3.102-3.106] has been used to improve ionization efficiency while retaining the advantages of probing the neutral component. In NR-laser-SNMS, an intense laser beam is used to ionize, non-selec-tively, all atoms and molecules within the volume intersected by the laser beam (Eig. 3.40b). With sufficient laser power density it is possible to saturate the ionization process. Eor NR-laser-SNMS adequate power densities are typically achieved in a small volume only at the focus of the laser beam. This limits sensitivity and leads to problems with quantification, because of the differences between the effective ionization volumes of different elements. The non-resonant post-ionization technique provides rapid, multi-element, and molecular survey measurements with significantly improved ionization efficiency over SIMS, although it still suffers from isoba-ric interferences.

There is an interior optimum. For this particular numerical example, it occurs when 40% of the reactor volume is in the initial CSTR and 60% is in the downstream PFR. The model reaction is chemically unrealistic but illustrates behavior that can arise with real reactions. An excellent process for the bulk polymerization of styrene consists of a CSTR followed by a tubular post-reactor. The model reaction also demonstrates a phenomenon known as washout which is important in continuous cell culture. If kt is too small, a steady-state reaction cannot be sustained even with initial spiking of component B. A continuous fermentation process will have a maximum flow rate beyond which the initial inoculum of cells will be washed out of the system. At lower flow rates, the cells reproduce fast enough to achieve and hold a steady state. 

Two neuraminidase inhibitors (oseltamivir carboxylate and zanamivir) are approved for prevention and treatment of infections with both influenza A and B viruses as discussed in chapter by Itzstein and Thomson, this volume. Oseltamivir carboxylate (OC) has gained most use because it can be taken orally, whereas the current formulation of zanamivir has to be inhaled. In addition, the WHO reconunends oseltamivir for treatment of clinically confirmed cases of H5N1 and for post-exposme prophylaxis to control recent H5N1 avian influenza outbreaks. 

Moderate Reactor Productivity. The rhodium catalyst is continuously recycled, but the catalyst is inherently unstable at low CO partial pressures, for example in the post-reactor flash tank. Under these conditions the catalyst may lose CO and eventually form insoluble Rhl3 resulting in an unacceptable loss of expensive catalyst. This reaction is also more likely to occur at low water concentrations, hence in order to run the process satisfactorily catalyst concentrations are kept low and water concentrations relatively high. Hence through a combination of lower than optimum reaction rate (because of low catalyst concentrations) and water taking up valuable reactor volume the overall reactor utilization is less than optimum.

Process recycle includes in-process and post-processing recycle. In general, in-process recycle is the preferred approach if at aU possible, but is clearly more common in the petrochemical and commodity chemicals context. For batch chemical operations commonly found in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical and agrochemicals businesses, in-process recycle is generally very difficult to do. The premise in those industries, however, is to reduce the scale of batch operations, make them continuous, and number up to achieve the required volumes. If this can be done successfully, it is more likely to be able to incorporate in-process recycle. 

Sulphuric acid at 93% was added to p-nitrotoluene. The temperature reached 160°C due to a failure of the thermal control system. The sulphonic acid formed decomposed violently at this temperature. The post-accident investigation showed that the decomposition started between 160 and 190 C. In fourteen minutes the temperature rose to 190-224°C and in one minute and thirty seconds to 224-270°C. A large volume of gas was then released during the eruption. The phenomena caused by the decomposition of nitrated derivatives in the presence of sulphuric acid will be addressed several times. What these incidents have in common is the formation of large carbonised volumes. This phenomenon is common with sulphonic acids. The nitro group role is to destabilise intermediate compounds and final compounds and to generate...
