This chapter will provide information on PLA foaming. It will focus on the foam production with emphasis on foaming agent types and processes used in foam production, factors affecting the creation, growth, and stabilization of cells, as well as the properties of PLA foams. 

Because J arises from the magnetic interactions of nuclei, the simplest factor affecting it is the product yjY of the two nuclear magnetogyric ratios involved. For example, in FI F is 82 FIz, i.e. x yo/yf - This totally predictable factor is sometimes discounted by quoting the reduced coupling constant =... 

Aluminum hydroxide gel may be prepared by a number of methods. The products vary widely in viscosity, particle size, and rate of solution. Such factors as degree of supersaturation, pH during precipitation, temperature, and nature and concentration of by-products present affect the physical properties of the gel. 

Statistical designs for experiments maximize information and reduce research time and costs. These techniques are less likely to miss synergistic factors affecting performance or product quaUty, minimize the element of human bias, eliminate less productive avenues of experimentation by taking... 

Factors affecting the accumulation of ansamitocins P-2, P-3, and P-4 in JSbocardia sp. C-15003 have been studied (246) the addition of isoleucine, propionate, ptopionaldehyde, or -ptopyl alcohol to the fermentation medium resulted in the increased production of P-2 the addition of valine, isobutyrate, isobutyraldehyde, or isobutyl alcohol increased the production of P-3, reaching more than 90% of the total ansamitocins produced and the addition of leucine, isovalerate, isovaleraldehyde, or isoamyl alcohol increased the production of P-4. 

Scale-Up Principles. Key factors affecting scale-up of reactor performance are nature of reaction zones, specific reaction rates, and mass- and heat-transport rates to and from reaction sites. Where considerable uncertainties exist or large quantities of products are needed for market evaluations, intermediate-sized demonstration units between pilot and industrial plants are usehil. Matching overall fluid flow characteristics within the reactor might determine the operative criteria. Ideally, the smaller reactor acts as a volume segment of the larger one. Elow distributions are not markedly influenced by... 

The cost and price of sulfuric acid depend in large part on raw material cost and on freight costs. In many areas, the deUvered cost of sulfur is the most important factor affecting sulfuric acid pricing. By-product raw material, ie, SO2, costs at smelters are essentially zero, but the remote locations of many smelters make freight costs significant. Nevertheless, the nondiscretionary nature of smelter acid means that it must be sold if the smelter is to operate. 

Carbon is alkylated ia the form of enolates or as carbanions. The enolates are ambident ia activity and can react at an oxygen or a carbon. For example, refluxing equimolar amounts of dimethyl sulfate and ethyl acetoacetate with potassium carbonate gives a 36% yield of the 0-methylation product, ie, ethyl 3-methoxy-2-butenoate, and 30% of the C-methylation product, ie, ethyl 2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate (26). Generally, only one alkyl group of the sulfate reacts with beta-diketones, beta-ketoesters, or malonates (27). Factors affecting the 0 C alkylation ratio have been extensively studied (28). Reaction ia the presence of soHd Al O results mosdy ia C-alkylation of ethyl acetoacetate (29). 

In all cases, water and carbonic acid, the latter of which is the source of protons, are the main reactants. The net result of the reaction is the release of cations (Ca " ), Mg ", K", Na" ) and the production of alkalinity via HCO. When ferrous iron is present in the lattice, as in biotite, oxygen consumption may become an important factor affecting the weathering mechanism and the rate of dissolution. 

Addition of up to 200 ppm sulfur dioxide to grape musts is customary. Strains of S. cerevisiae and S. bayanus grown in the presence of sulfite, become tolerant of fairly high concentrations of SO2. Cultures propagated in the winery are added in Hquid suspension, usually at 1—2% of the must volume. Many strains are available in pure culture. Factors such as flocculence, lack of foaming, fast fermentation, lack of H2S and SO2 formation, resistance to sulfur dioxide and other inhibitors, and flavor production will affect strain choice. No strain possesses all the desired properties. 

The most impoi tant factor affecting product quahty is the material balance. In separating a feed stream F into distillate D and bottom B products, an overall mole-flow balance must be maintained ...

Once the material and heat balances are complete, a report must be written. It will first present the data. It will then discuss factors affecting product quality and any abnormal results. It will then discuss the key findings and recommendations to improve unit operation. 

This chapter discusses the factors affecting yields and qualities of FCC product streams. The section on FCC economics describes several options that can be used to maximize FCC performance and the refinery s profit margin. 

Other considerations In addition to the above general factors affecting inhibitor application and performance, there will be other special effects relating to particular types of systems, e.g. in oil-production technology. Some of these are referred to in appropriate cases in the following section.
