Site divestment

One possibility is for the ion to wander about on the solution side of the interface, say, in the OHP, till it comes face to face with a hole site. Then, in one shot, the ion could get electronated, divest itself of its solvent sheath, and dive into the lattice. This would be a direct one-step deposition reaction (Fig. 7.129). 

The process of trying to divest or acquire a site services and infrastructure organization is a very tedious exercise, requiring thorough preparation, and with a very uncertain outcome. So far, a successful exit by a major chemical company is still up for realization and the recent failures raise the question of whether this path will be followed in the near future at all.

Deciding whether a company has carried out an audit will in turn depend to some degree on the company s own definition. A number of different types of audit have been identified. An environmental review is an initial analysis of the environmental issues, impact and performance related to activities at a site and should be seen as the first step in the audit programme. Following the review, a system audit will assess the effectiveness of the company s environmental management system. Other audits will cover particular sites, acquisition or divestment and the production impacts of making a specific product.
