Secondary scale

Step 3. Extend a straight line from the point on the reference line 1 through the point on the secondary scale for carbon dioxide and intersect the reference line 2. 

The nomograph combines all of these corrections (4) except the one for higher liquid vapor pressures. Physical properties of each of the inorganic gases are incorporated in the primary and secondary scales identifying the dissolved gas. 

Gas thermometers that employ equation (1.10) can be constructed to measure either pressure while holding the volume constant (the most common procedure) or volume while holding the pressure constant. The (pV) product can be extrapolated to zero p. but this is an involved procedure. More often, an equation of state or experimental gas imperfection data are used to correct to ideal behavior. Helium is the usual choice of gas for a gas thermometer, since gas imperfection is small, although other gases such as hydrogen have also been used. In any event, measurement of absolute temperature with a gas thermometer is a difficult procedure. Instead, temperatures are usually referred to a secondary scale known as the International Temperature Scale or ITS-90. 

The hydrothermal synthesis system for secondary scale screening is based on multi-well-tumbled autoclaves modules [49]. Each module contains 16 PTFE vials each vial has an internal volume of 7 mL. The reactors can operate up to 200 °C. Many chemical and physical factors can affect the final hydrothermal synthesis outcome, making it a good application for high-throughput methods. In addition to the gel ingredients, these factors include the order of reagent addition, gel mix-... 

Although the direct oxidation of ethane to acetic acid is of increasing interest as an alternative route to acetic acid synthesis because of low-cost feedstock, this process has not been commercialized because state-of-the-art catalyst systems do not have sufficient activity and/or selectivity to acetic acid. A two-week high-throughput scoping effort (primary screening only) was run on this chemistry. The workflow for this effort consisted of a wafer-based automated evaporative synthesis station and parallel microfluidic reactor primary screen. If this were to be continued further, secondary scale hardware, an evaporative synthesis workflow as described above and a 48-channel fixed-bed reactor for screening, would be used. 

The state-of-the-art catalyst system is a Mo-V-Nb-Te mixed oxide [52], This catalyst is quite sensitive to its synthesis and process parameters and the automated catalyst synthesis tools described above were capable of synthesizing these and other challenging mixed metal oxides successfully. The workflow was validated by synthesizing a region of the known Mo-V-Nb-Te catalyst system phase space in the primary scale and secondary scale (Fig. 3.19a and b). Very good agreement between primary, secondary, and literature optima were obtained. One of the pri-...

Protein dynamics occurs on very different time scales ([McCammon and Harvey 1987, Jardetzky 1996]). Here, we are most interested in long time scale motions such as relative motion between secondary structure elements, and inter-domain motion. 

To facilitate conformational transitions in the before-mentioned adenylate kinase, Elamrani and co-workers scaled all atomic masses by a large factor thus allowing the use of a high effective simulation temperature of 2000K ([Elamrani et al. 1996]). To prevent protein unfolding, elements of secondary structure had to be constrained. 

The nitrosamines are insoluble in water, and the lower members are liquid at ordinary temperatures. The separation of an oily liquid when an aqueous solution of an amine salt is treated with sodium nitrite is therefore strong evidence that the amine is secondary. Diphenylnitrosoamine is selected as a preparation because it is a crystalline substance and is thus easier to manipulate on a small scale than one of the lower liquid members. For this preparation, a fairly pure (and therefore almost colourless) sample of diphenyl-amine should be used. Technical diphenylamine, which is almost black in colour, should not be employed. 

Secondary and tertiary amines are not generally prepared in the laboratory. On the technical scale methylaniline is prepared by heating a mixture of aniline hydrochloride (55 parts) and methyl alcohol (16 parts) at 120° in an autoclave. For dimethylaniline, aniline and methyl alcohol are mixed in the proportion of 80 78, 8 parts of concentrated sulphuric acid are added and the mixture heated in an autoclave at 230-235° and a pressure of 25-30 atmospheres. Ethyl- and diethyl-anihne are prepared similarly. One method of isolating pure methyl- or ethyl-aniline from the commercial product consists in converting it into the Y-nitroso derivative with nitrous acid, followed by reduction of the nitroso compound with tin and hydrochloric acid ... 

When applied to the synthesis of ethers the reaction is effective only with primary alcohols Elimination to form alkenes predominates with secondary and tertiary alcohols Diethyl ether is prepared on an industrial scale by heating ethanol with sulfuric acid at 140°C At higher temperatures elimination predominates and ethylene is the major product A mechanism for the formation of diethyl ether is outlined m Figure 15 3 The individual steps of this mechanism are analogous to those seen earlier Nucleophilic attack on a protonated alcohol was encountered m the reaction of primary alcohols with hydrogen halides (Section 4 12) and the nucleophilic properties of alcohols were dis cussed m the context of solvolysis reactions (Section 8 7) Both the first and the last steps are proton transfer reactions between oxygens... 

As a result of a variable liquid-junction potential, the measured pH may be expected to differ seriously from the determined from cells without a liquid junction in solutions of high acidity or high alkalinity. Merely to affirm the proper functioning of the glass electrode at the extreme ends of the pH scale, two secondary standards are included in Table 8.14. In addition, values for a 0.1 m solution of HCl are given to extend the pH scale up to 275°C [see R. S. Greeley, Anal. Chem. 32 1717 (I960)] ... 

The new international temperature scale, known as ITS-90, was adopted in September 1989. However, neither the definition of thermodynamic temperature nor the definition of the kelvin or the Celsius temperature scales has changed it is the way in which we are to realize these definitions that has changed. The changes concern the recommended thermometers to be used in different regions of the temperature scale and the list of secondary standard fixed points. The changes in temperature determined using ITS-90 from the previous IPTS-68 are always less than 0.4 K, and almost always less than 0.2 K, over the range 0-1300 K.

Hoechst WHP Process. The Hoechst WLP process uses an electric arc-heated hydrogen plasma at 3500—4000 K it was developed to industrial scale by Farbwerke Hoechst AG (8). Naphtha, or other Hquid hydrocarbon, is injected axially into the hot plasma and 60% of the feedstock is converted to acetylene, ethylene, hydrogen, soot, and other by-products in a residence time of 2—3 milliseconds Additional ethylene may be produced by a secondary injection of naphtha (Table 7, Case A), or by means of radial injection of the naphtha feed (Case B). The oil quenching also removes soot. 

Radiation Damage. It has been known for many years that bombardment of a crystal with energetic (keV to MeV) heavy ions produces regions of lattice disorder. An implanted ion entering a soHd with an initial kinetic energy of 100 keV comes to rest in the time scale of about 10 due to both electronic and nuclear coUisions. As an ion slows down and comes to rest in a crystal, it makes a number of coUisions with the lattice atoms. In these coUisions, sufficient energy may be transferred from the ion to displace an atom from its lattice site. Lattice atoms which are displaced by an incident ion are caUed primary knock-on atoms (PKA). A PKA can in turn displace other atoms, secondary knock-ons, etc. This process creates a cascade of atomic coUisions and is coUectively referred to as the coUision, or displacement, cascade. The disorder can be directiy observed by techniques sensitive to lattice stmcture, such as electron-transmission microscopy, MeV-particle channeling, and electron diffraction. 

Dialkyldimethyl and alkyltrknethyl quaternaries can be prepared direcdy from secondary and primary amines as shown ia equations 7 and 8, respectively. This process, known as exhaustive alkylation, is usually not the method of choice on a commercial scale. This technique requires the continuous addition of basic material over the course of the reaction to prevent the formation of amine salts (223,224). Furthermore, products such as inorganic salt and water must be removed from the quaternary. The salt represents a significant disposal problem. 

Nitrile Intermediates. Most quaternary ammonium compounds are produced from fatty nitriles (qv), which are ia turn made from a natural fat or oil-derived fatty acid and ammonia (qv) (Fig. 2) (see Fats AND FATTY oils) (225). The nitriles are then reduced to the amines. A variety of reduciag agents maybe used (226). Catalytic hydrogenation over a metal catalyst is the method most often used on a commercial scale (227). Formation of secondary and tertiary amine side-products can be hindered by the addition of acetic anhydride (228) or excess ammonia (229). In some cases secondary amines are the desired products.
