Resist equipment

Corrosion Resistant Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (FRP). Fiber glass reinforcement bonded with furfuryl alcohol thermosetting resias provides plastics with unique properties. Excellent resistance to corrosion and heat distortion coupled with low flame spread and low smoke emission are characteristics that make them valuable as laminating resins with fiber glass (75,76). Another valuable property of furan FRP is its strength at elevated temperature. Hand-layup, spray-up, and filament-win ding techniques are employed to produce an array of corrosion-resistant equipment, pipes, tanks, vats, ducts, scmbbers, stacks, and reaction vessels for industrial appHcations throughout the world. 

Gold and gold-based alloys ate used for corrosion-resistant equipment. Gold—platinum alloys, 75 Au-25 Pt or 84 Au-15 Pt-1 Rh, ate used as cmcible material for many molten salts (98). Spinnerets for rayon manufacture ate based on the Au—Pt system which exhibits a broad miscibility gap in the soHd state so that the alloys can be age-hardened. Spinneret alloys contain 30—40% or mote platinum modified by small additions of usually rhodium (99). Either gold or gold—platinum alloys ate used in mpture disks for service with corrosive gases (100). 

Carbonates ate manufactured by essentially the same method as chloroformates except that more alcohol is required in addition to longer reaction times and higher temperatures. The products are neutralized, washed, and distilled. Corrosion-resistant equipment similar to that described for the manufacture of chloroformates is requited. Diaryl carbonates are prepared from phosgene and two equivalents of the sodium phenolates or with phenols and various... 

Despite the use of explosion-pressure-resistant equipment for the full explosion pressure or other design measures outlined later, everything possible must be done to prevent effective ignition sources, because loss of product and interruption of production are equally undesirable. 

Side reactions can be kept at a minimum. Special corrosion-resistant equipment is not as necessary as in the case of some soluble catalysts. 

NOTE Acid phosphates and SHMP may attack chemical tanks and associated equipment, so acid-resistant equipment should be specified. Alternatively, the addition of caustic up to a pH level of 8.2 to 8.3 (the production of a pink color when tested with phenolphthalein) provides adequate protection. A further alternative is to add neutralizing amine to the tank.

One has to consider that all connected devices must also withstand the maximum explosion overpressure. The NFPA 69 Standard, Explosion Prevention System, 1997 European Standard prEN 14460, Explosion Resistant Equipment, 2005 and Kirby and Siwek, Preventing Failures of Equipment Subject to Explosions, Chemical Engineering, June 23, 1986, provide excellent guidance on the practice of containment.

Poly (3,3-Bis(Chloromethyl)Oxetane) This is marketed by Hercules as Penton chlorinated polyether. Its thermal, flame, and chemical resistance are used primarily for corrosion-resistant equipment in the process industries, such as valves, fittings, pumps, meters, and linings for steel pipe and tanks, for service in many corrosive atmospheres up to 250°F. or higher. At 4.50/pound, growth possibilities appear limited by increasing competition from lower-cost materials. 

All fluoroplastics except polyietrafluiiruetliylune can be processed using melt techniques commonly applicable to thermoplastics. Processing temperatures are somewhat higher than normally used with other thermoplastics and corrosion-resistant equipment is required to resist the corrosive effects of the molten polymer,...

Acid hydrolysis of cellulosic materials has been studied for many years (13,33). Although it is a relatively straightforward process, it has the problems of requiring acid-resistant equipment and yielding a poor grade of sugar (because the product contains many reaction product impurities). However, in terms of practical application, acid hydrolysis of cellulosic material is by far the most commonly used hydrolysis system. 

There are different ways of processing the effluent of a pressure relief [35], One is atmospheric discharge, which is rare as only harmless effluents can be so used. The second is flaring or incineration, which is only sparsely available in fine chemicals or pharmaceutical industries. Total containment is another approach, but it requires pressure resistant equipment (see Section 10.5.2). Thus, the most used is partial containment... 

Epoxy vinyl ester resins are a special class of unsaturated resin. This resin is made by capping an epoxy resin with methacrylic acid and then dissolving in styrene monomer to the desired viscosity. This gives mechanical properties similar to epoxy resins, but the processibility (low viscosity allowing for resin infusion processes) of an unsaturated polyester resin. As with unsaturated vinyl esters, the most common fire retardant vinyl ester resin is based on a resin made from a halogenated system, tetrabromobisphenol A. The level of bromine in the resin and the presence of antimony will determine the fire performance of the resin. These resins are normally used for corrosion resistant equipment or when fire performance and high mechanical properties are required. It is very difficult to get a low smoke value with a brominated vinyl ester resin again due to the fact that bromine... 

The ability of bone char to function as an alkaline buffer, so essential in sucrose refining, is a definite disadvantage in the refining of dextrose where it is desirable to operate on the acid side of pH 6. It has been shown that the optimum pH range is as low as 3.0 to 3.5.3 However, since solutions of this acidity would attack storage vessels, char filters and pipe lines, it is impractical to operate in the optimum pH range unless acid resistant equipment is employed. Consequently pH 5 is a practical lower limit for the process.

Fluoroboric acid is produced commercially by the reaction of 70% hydrofluoric acid with boric acid. Fluoroborate solutions must be treated like hydrofluoric acid and handled in corrosion resistant equipment consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, or neoprene-type rubber. The major use of fluoroboric acid is as an intermediate in the preparation of fluoroborate salts. It is also used in electroplating aluminum and in metal cleaning operations. 

While these techniques are widely used, they do not provide sufficient purity. Liquid phase purification is not an environmentally friendly process and requires corrosion-resistant equipment, as well as costly waste disposal processes. Alternative dry chemistry approaches, such as catalyst-assisted oxidation or ozone-eiuiched air oxidation, also require the use of aggressive substances or supplementary catalysts, which result in an additional contamination. Moreover, in many previous studies trial and error rather than insight and theory approaches have been applied. As a result, a lack of understanding and limited process control often lead to extensive sample losses of up to 90%. Because oxidation in air would be a controllable and enviromnentaUy friendly process, selective purification of carbon nanomaterials, such as CNT and ND, in air is very attractive. In contrast to current purification techniques, air oxidation does not require the use of toxic or aggressive chemicals, catalysts, or inhibitors and opens avenues for numerous new applications of carbon nanomaterials.
