Process availability

One of the key considerations in the materials selection process is material availability and delivery time. This is especially true if a person/company has only a limited time for completing a part. Even without time constraints, materials engineers tend to use materials that are readily available. Similarly, the choice of a surface-engineering process is often based on process availability because poor logistics between the customer and surface treatment supplier can result in added shipping time and costs. 

process availability might negate the selection of plasma cartmriz-ing over conventional methods, despite the reduced carburizing times and more uniform case depths associated with plasma methods. A similar situation exists for gas nitriding and plasma (ion) nitriding. 

The more specialized pack-cementation diffusion processes, such as aluminizing, chromizing, siliconizing, and boronizing, are usually carried out at companies that specialize in these processes. Some of these processes are also performed by aerospace companies, for example, aluminizing of jet engine turbine components.

Process conditions that favor chemical crimp formation are similar to those used for improved tenacity staple (2inc/modifier route). However, spin bath temperature should be as high as possible (ca 60°C) and the spin-bath acid as low as possible (ca 7%). Attempts have been made to overcome some of the leanness of high strength rayons by increasing the crimp levels. ITT Rayonier developed the Prim a crimped HWM fiber (36) and made the process available to their customers. Avtex developed Avdl 111. Neither remain in production. 

There are several processes available for the manufacture of cryoHte. The choice is mainly dictated by the cost and quaUty of the available sources of soda, alumina, and fluoriae. Starting materials iaclude sodium aluminate from Bayer s alumina process hydrogen fluoride from kiln gases or aqueous hydrofluoric acid sodium fluoride ammonium bifluoride, fluorosiUcic acid, fluoroboric acid, sodium fluosiUcate, and aluminum fluorosiUcate aluminum oxide, aluminum sulfate, aluminum chloride, alumina hydrate and sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium chloride, and sodium aluminate. 

The preferred route to higher purity naphthalene, either coal-tar or petroleum, is crystallisation. This process has demonstrated significant energy cost savings and yield improvements. There are several commercial processes available Sulser-MWB, Brodie type. Bets, and Recochem (37). 

Synthesis Gas Preparation Processes. Synthesis gas for ammonia production consists of hydrogen and nitrogen in about a three to one mole ratio, residual methane, argon introduced with the process air, and traces of carbon oxides. There are several processes available for synthesis gas generation and each is characterized by the specific feedstock used. A typical synthesis gas composition by volume is hydrogen, 73.65% nitrogen, 24.55% methane, <1 ppm-0.8% argon, 100 ppm—0.34% carbon oxides, 2—10 ppm and water vapor, 0.1 ppm. 

Foi example, nylon pile fabrics, exhibiting higher moisture regain, have different traction characteristics under wet and dry conditions than do polypropylene-based materials. Effects of artificial turf fabric constmction on shoe traction ate given in Table 2. Especially effective in aiding fabric surface uniformity is texturing of the pile ribbon, a process available for the two principal pile materials nylon and polypropylene. 

There are other commercial processes available for the production of butylenes. However, these are site or manufacturer specific, eg, the Oxirane process for the production of propylene oxide the disproportionation of higher olefins and the oligomerisation of ethylene. Any of these processes can become an important source in the future. More recentiy, the Coastal Isobutane process began commercialisation to produce isobutylene from butanes for meeting the expected demand for methyl-/ rZ-butyl ether (40). 

Viscoelastic polymers essentially dominate the multi-billion dollar adhesives market, therefore an understanding of their adhesion behavior is very important. Adhesion of these materials involves quite a few chemical and physical phenomena. As with elastic materials, the chemical interactions and affinities in the interface provide the fundamental link for transmission of stress between the contacting bodies. This intrinsic resistance to detachment is usually augmented several folds by dissipation processes available to the viscoelastic media. The dissipation processes can have either a thermodynamic origin such as recoiling of the stretched polymeric chains upon detachment, or a dynamic and rate-sensitive nature as in chain pull-out, chain disentanglement and deformation-related rheological losses in the bulk of materials and in the vicinity of interface.

The plant engineer should not be expected to select the correct process for any of these good professional advice must be taken - and followed. The account below of the processes available therefore concentrates largely on external process characteristics which affect the general operation of the facility. 

Before the advent of the catalytic cracking process, thermal cracking was the primary process available to convert low-value feedstocks into lighter products. Refiners still use thermal processes, such as delayed coking and visibreaking, for cracking of residual hydrocarbons. 

Adding ZSM-5 catalyst additive is another process available to tlie refiner to boost production of light olefins. ZSM-5 at a typical concentration of 0.5 to 3.0 wt% is used in a number of FCC units to increase the gasoline octane and light olefins. As part of the cracking of low octane components in the gasoline, ZSM-5 also makes C. C4, and Cj olefins (see Figure 6-2). Paraffinic feedstocks respond the most to ZSM 5 catalyst additive.. 

Commercial processes Commercial electroless nickel plating stems from an accidental discovery by Brenner and Riddell made in 1944 during the electroplating of a tube, with sodium hypophosphite added to the solution to reduce anodic oxidation of other bath constituents. This led to a process available under licence from the National Bureau of Standards in the USA. Their solutions contain a nickel salt, sodium hypophosphite, a buffer and sometimes accelerators, inhibitors to limit random deposition and brighteners. The solutions are used as acid baths (pH 4-6) or, less commonly, as alkaline baths (pH 8-10). Some compositions and operating conditions are given in Table 13.17 . 

Among the nucleophilic processes available for introduction of bromine to quinolines are reactions of the diazonium salts (87JHC181) and syntheses based on hydroxyquinolines or quinolones (91M935) (Scheme 36). The former processes are especially useful for making 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-bromo derivatives. Halogen-halogen exchange reactions have also been reported, but they are not common. When perfluoroquinoline was heated...

There is one additional general requirement included in Directive 75/318/EEC as amended, which affects all parts of the pharmaceutical section of the dossier. This is a blanket requirement that all analytical methods are to have been adequately validated and the validation data included in the submission. This applies to all analytical methods including those used in connection with preclinical and clinical parts of the dossier. Additional guidance on how to meet these requirements is included in the two notes for guidance developed on the topic of analytical validation through the ICH process, available at the EMEA web site or at the Commission s web site, mentioned earlier.

Photophysical Processes in PET and Model Compounds. The photophysical processes in many polymer, copolymer, and polymer-additive mixtures have been studied (17. 18. 19). However, until recently, few investigations have been made concerning the photo-physical processes available to the aromatic esters in either monomeric or polymeric form. 

We (fl) have reported the photophysical processes of a series of model esters of PET, and tentatively assigned the fluorescence and phosphorescence of the aromatic esters as (n, tt ) transitions, respectively. We (9) also performed an extensive study of the photophysical processes available to dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) in order to relate this monomeric species to the PET polymer. In 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) (Table I), DMT has three major,absorptions which are according to Platt, s notation 191 nm, A- B, e = 40,620 1 mole" cm"1 244 nm, A-dLaT e = 23,880 1 mole-) cm" 289 nm, A U, e = 1780 1 mole")cm. ... 

The equations developed for vacuum and pressure purging apply to the case of pure nitrogen only. Many of the nitrogen separation processes available today do not provide pure nitrogen they typically provide nitrogen in the 98%+ range.
