Synthesis pressure

Interest in AIN, GaN, InN and their alloys for device applications as blue light-emitting diodes and blue lasers has recently opened up new areas of high-pressure synthesis. Near atmospheric pressure, GaN and InN are nnstable with respect to decomposition to the elements far below the temperatures where they might melt. Thus, large boules of these materials typically used to make semiconductor devices caimot be grown from the... 

In the classical normal pressure synthesis (16), higher hydrocarbons are produced by net reactions similar to those observed in the eady 1900s, but at temperatures below the level at which methane is formed ... 

During World War II, nine commercial plants were operated in Germany, five using the normal pressure synthesis, two the medium pressure process, and two having converters of both types. The largest plants had capacities of ca 400 mr / d (2500 bbl/d) of Hquid products. Cobalt catalysts were used exclusively.

Static Pressure Synthesis. Diamond can form direcdy from graphite at pressures of about 13 GPa (130 kbar) and higher at temperatures of about 3300—4300 K (7). No catalyst is needed. The transformation is carried out in a static high pressure apparatus in which the sample is heated by the discharge current from a capacitor. Diamond forms in a few milliseconds and is recovered in the form of polycrystalline lumps. From this work, and studies of graphite vaporization/melting, the triple point of diamond, graphite, and molten carbon is estimated to He at 13 GPa and 5000 K (Fig. 1)... 

Medium Pressure Synthesis. Pressures of 500—2000 kPa (5—20 atm) were typical for the medium pressure Fischer-Tropsch process. Cobalt catalysts similar to those used for the normal pressure synthesis were typically used at temperatures ranging from 170 to 200°C ia tubular "heat exchanger" type reactors. 

High Pressure Synthesis. Reaction at pressures of 10 to 20 MPa (100—200 atm) and temperatures ia the 400°C range is known as the high pressure process.

The eyeles in these power reeovery applieations are relatively simple. Figures 1-2 and 1-3 are typieal examples. The eyele eonfigura-tions involve the removal of solids or liquids ahead of the expander, and often the ineoming stream is heated so its temperature will not reaeh its frost point at the diseharge. This addition of heat also inereases the amount of available power. Some examples of this applieation are expansion of waste gas, waste produets of eombustion in oxidation proeesses, waste earbon dioxide, and expansion of high-pressure synthesis gas streams. 

An alternative source of the ethyl component was ethyl bromide, a less expensive material. It was at this point that GM called upon DuPont to take over process development. DuPont was the largest U.S. chemical company at the time. It had extensive experience in the scale-up of complex chemical operations, including explosives and high-pressure synthesis. The manufacturing process was undertaken by DuPont s premier department, the Organic Chemical section. GM contracted with DuPont to build a 1,300 pound per day plant. The first commercial quantities of TEL were sold in Februai-y 1923 in the form of ethyl premium gasoline.

When irradiated in the presence of norbornadiene and high-pressure synthesis gas, rhodium chloride is converted to a catalyst which is active for a variety of reactions. /2A/. The salt is probably converted photochemically to the rhodium norbornadiene complex 9. This dimer may undergo a consecutive photoreaction to give the monomeric hydrido complex 10, which is the actual catalyst for polymerisation, hydrogenation, and hydroformylation reactions. 

The two important discoveries in the search for iron-based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts were (a) the finding that the addition of alkali yielded significant improvements in the activity and selectivity (to liquid products) of iron catalysts (15), and (b) the development of the medium-pressure synthesis (16). In 1943 a pilot plant was constructed at Schwarz-Leide in Germany for the comparative testing of iron-based catalysts. However, the outcome of World War II curtailed its activities. After 1945 many of the plants were destroyed and, for those remaining, recommencement of operation was forbidden for several years. Of the three plants restarted, the last at Bergkamen was closed in 1962.
