Scope and Approach

Liquid-liquid dispersion is among the most complex of all mixing operations. It is virtually impossible to make dispersions of uniform drop size, because of the wide range of properties and flow conditions. Our chapter provides a fundamental framework for analysis and understanding of dispersion and coalescence, based often on idealized experiments and theories. This framework can be applied to more complicated processes, including scale-up. Throughout the chapter, references are made to state-of-the-art information, often not yet proven in practice. The chapter concludes with commercialization advice and recommendations. 

Section 12-2 deals with liquid-liquid dispersion, while in Section 12-3 we discuss coalescence. Section 12-4 gives an introduction to the methods used for population balance models, along with references for further reading. In Section 12-5 we describe more concentrated dispersed phase systems, including phase inversion. Section 12-6 deals with other considerations, such as suspension, mass transfer, and other complexities. Section 12-7 with equipment used in liquid-liquid operations. Section 12-8 with scale-up, and Section 12-9 provides industrial examples. Nomenclature and references then follow. Although every attempt has been made to make this a stand-alone chapter, space limitations occasionally make it necessary to refer to other chapters in the book. 

1 Breakup of Single Drops in Laminar and Turbulent Flow. The 

Simple laminar shear or extension flow produces orderly dispersion since the flow field surrounding the drop is constant and continuous. In contrasL simple turbulent flows produce more random breakup events, due to the time-dependent nature of fluid-drop interactions. The effect of breakage mechanism on the resulting DSD is sometimes counterintuitive. 

Simple theories are described in which breakup results when disruptive forces in the surrounding fluid exceed cohesive forces, due to interfacial tension and drop viscosity. The results for a single drop are then extended to dilute dispersions in order to predict and correlate data for the DSD. The methodology is extended to more concentrated noncoalescing systems of wider practical importance as well as other dispersion devices. The scope includes a broad range of factors. Although most of the section is devoted to the development of the equilibrium mean drop size and DSD, dispersion kinetics and the time evolution of the DSD are included.

The update team must develop a new PrHA report to document the scope and approach of its analysis as well as any new hazards, scenarios, and action items. Justification must be provided for removing any scenarios from the original PrHA. The report should receive close scrutiny, both for compliance with the PSM Rule and for explanations of new action items. Guidance for reporting the PrHA results is given in Section 5.1. The updated report is submitted to management for review and approval, following the same procedure as an initial PrHA. 

A section on quality standards and comparative syntheses concludes the entire chapter. This section (Section 7.8) sets the scope and approach necessary to compare and contrast closely related syntheses and target structures 26 In this section, a broad utilization of many of the techniques described in the chapter are applied to peptide target structures. 

The scope and approaches to the dossier are largely in hand, if not in text. 

The safety/risk criteria. The safety/risk criteria establish the top-level system safety requirements, or objectives. Regulatory authorities may have different definitions for the various categories of hazards/accidents. To be able objectively to distinguish and evaluate the various hazards present, it is important to define the exact terminology and to allocate a measure of performance. This is an important (and arguably most neglected) topic as it is the safety acceptance criteria the system is expected to achieve, and hence the measure (or standard) the assessment will compare the system against. For more detail on safety criteria, see Appendix B. The system level. Define the systems level at which safety is to be assessed. The importance of this step is explained in Section 8.3 above. A safety assessment by a supplier of a component (e.g. a flare dispenser) will vastly differ in scope and approach to a safety assessment for a product (e.g. an aircraft) or user system (e.g. a facility). 

Before the widespread availability of instrumental methods the major approach to structure determination relied on a battery of chemical reactions and tests The response of an unknown substance to various reagents and procedures provided a body of data from which the structure could be deduced Some of these procedures are still used to supple ment the information obtained by instrumental methods To better understand the scope and limitations of these tests a brief survey of the chemical reactions of carbohydrates is m order In many cases these reactions are simply applications of chemistry you have already learned Certain of the transformations however are unique to carbohydrates... 

Another useful approach is to attempt to get a broad review of the specification draft by operations, maintenance, and engineering. The specification must have an author who can write the basic document and who later edits the draft into the scope and language of the final specification. Single authorship, with committee review, is preferred over committee authorship. Only in rare instances is vendor participation in the specification authorship really justified, except in partnership relationships. 

Ring-fluonnated aromatics have found wide applications in pharmaceuticals, crop protection chemicals, polymer intermediates, liquid crystals, etc [10] Routes based on aromatic amines represent one of the major synthetic approaches to these compounds The scope and the techniques have been sufficiently described in reviews [//, I2 and monographs [13, 14, fi] Therefore, only reactions and techniques published after 1971 are discussed... 

It would be reasonable to expect that the decomposition of the N,N-dimethylimino ester chlorides proceeds via a bimolecular mechanism already demonstrated for the thermal decomposition of simple imino ester salts (79). In the carbohydrate series, where an isolated secondary hydroxyl group is involved, such a process would result in chlorodeoxy sugar derivatives with overall inversion of configuration, provided that the approach of the chloride ion is not sterically hindered. Further experiments are in progress in this laboratory utilizing additional model substance to establish the scope and stereochemical course of the chlorination reaction. 

HPLC log P techniques, first described by Mirrlees et al. [374] and Unger et al., [375], are probably the most frequently used methods for determining log/1. The directly measured retention parameters are hydrophobicity indices, and need to be converted to a log P scale through the use of standards. The newest variants, breadths of scope, and limitations have been described in the literature [292-298]. A commercial automated HPLC system based on an extension of the approach described by Slater et al. [150] has just introduced by Sirius (www. sirius-analytical. com).

Recent results on the chemistry of persistent vinyl cations are summarized. / , / -Disilyl-substituted vinyl cations were synthesized by intramolecular addition of transient silylium ions to alkynes. The vinyl cations are stable at ambient temperature and were isolated in the form of their tetrakispentafluorophenylborate and hexabromocarboranate salts. The vinyl cations were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray crystallography. The experimental results for the a-alkyl- and a-aryl-substituted vinyl cations confirm their Y-shape structures, consisting of a linear dicoordinated, formally positively charged a-carbon atom and a trigonal planar coordinated /f-carbon atom. In addition, the spectroscopic data clearly indicate the consequences of, / -silyl hyperconjugation in these vinyl cations. Scope and limitations of the synthetic approach to vinyl cations via addition of silylium ions to C=C triple bonds are discussed.

The programs described above are limited in scope, and a superior approach is to employ a simulation package. There are three commercial programs at the forefront of the market, namely DigiSim, Condecon and GPES. 

But while recognizing these limitations in our laws and the imperfections of our regulatory institutions, let us now move on to the specific risk management approaches that are applied to the many sources of risk. As mentioned earlier, these brief reviews are of limited scope and emphasize only the various ways in which risk assessment results figure in risk management decisions.
