Separated flames

This justifies all the work undertaken to arrive at fuel denitrification which, as is well known, is difficult and costly. Moreover, technological improvements can bring considerable progress to this field. That is the case with low NO burners developed at IFF. These consist of producing separated flame jets that enable lower combustion temperatures, local oxygen concentrations to be less high and a lowered fuel s nitrogen contribution to NOj. formation. In a well defined industrial installation, the burner said to be of the low NO type can attain a level of 350 mg/Nm, instead of the 600 mg/Nm with a conventional burner. 

Isolated droplet combustion obviously is the condition for a separate flame envelope for each droplet. Typically, a group number less that 10 2 is required. Internal group combustion involves a core with a cloud where vaporization exists such that the core is totally surrounded by flame. This condition occurs... 

Stepwise Selective Amine and Amide Alkylation (Fig. 14) 44 A first alkylation step is performed by suspending (78) in a 2 M solution of a suitable alkyl halide in DMF at 50° for 24-48 h. After thorough washing with DMF (3x), CH2C12 (3x), and THF (3x) intermediate (79) (usually formed with >85% purity) is subjected to the final alkylation. The reaction flask is sealed with a fresh rubber septum and flushed with nitrogen followed by cooling to 0°. In a separate flame-dried 25-ml round-bottom flask 12 equiv. (with respect to 79) of 5-phenylmethyl-2-oxazolidinone is added. To the reaction flask freshly distilled THF is added (the appropriate volume to provide a 0.2 M solution of the 5-phenylmethyl-2-oxazolidi-none). The resulting clear solution is then cooled to —78° and 1.6 M n-butyl... 

In another reported application of an alternative computer-controlled programmed-scan system, Johnson, et al. (38) have studied the application of a 500-W Eimac lamp and a separated flame for the atomic fluoresence determination of Fe, Mg, Cu, Ag, and Cr in jet engine lubricating oils. 

If the flame background emission intensity is reduced considerably by use of an inert gas-sheathed (separated) flame, then an interference filter may be used rather than a monochromator, to give a non-dispersive atomic fluorescence spectrometer as illustrated in Figure 14.36-38 Noise levels are often further reduced by employing a solar blind photomultiplier as a detector of fluorescence emission at UV wavelengths. Such detectors do not respond to visible light. The excitation source is generally placed at 90° to the monochromator or detector. Surface-silvered or quartz mirrors and lenses are often used to increase the amount of fluorescence emission seen by the detector. 

As an alternative to separated flames for reducing flame background, hydrogen may be used as a fuel rather than acetylene, although care is then needed to make sure that chemical interferences do not start to occur. In the early days of AFS, often improving detection limits became an end in itself, with little or no thought being paid to potential interference problems.

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., of Osaka, Japan, in 2002 announced the development of what was claimed to be the first plastic recycling system capable of separating flame retardants from used plastic while maintaining its original physical properties. The plan was to release a commercial version of the system by March 2004, but no record of such a release was found. ...

The 37th Infantry Division found little use for flame throwers during its Arst two months on Bougainville. The division s 8-man flame thrower squads (one per battalion ammunition and pioneer platoon) suddenly became busy in March. In heavy action on Hill 700 eleven separate flame thrower attacks took place, each resulting in... 

The agreement between measurements and predictions in Fig. 3.10 was again very good. Slight asymmetries in the flames shapes were due to small differences between the upper and lower wall temperatures, an effect fully accounted for in the model via the boimdary conditions in Eq. (3.31). A notable difference between the fuel-rich and fuel-lean flames is that the former established a connected V-shaped flame, while the latter comprised two separate flame branches near both walls (compare Figs. 3.8 and 3.9 with Fig. 3.10). Flame shapes were dictated by the Lewis number of the deficient reactant Lea < 1 in fuel-lean, and Leo2 > 1 in fuel-rich combustion). Implications of this behavior will be discussed in Section 7. 

For reprodncible resnlts, it is essential that the preparation of propargyl triflate 6a and the preparation of the lithium enolate of polymer 7 be conducted simultaneously in separate flame dried equipment.
