As mentioned previously, the anhydride moieties in P(NB/MA) are remarkably hydrolytically stable and do not appreciably facilitate resin dissolution in aqueous TMAH (0.262 N TMAH). Poly(noibomene-alt-maleic anhydride-co-acrylic add) P(NB/MA/AA) dissolution in aqueous base is similarly not dependent on anhydride hydrolysis rather, it varies as a function of acrylic add content. These findings suggest that the anhydrides remain predominantly latent non-hydrolyzed) during the development under the conditions employed, or conversely, that the developer, while basic enough to solubilize acidic fiinctionalities such as caiboxylic acids, lacks the reactivity to effidently promote anhydride hydrolysis in the hydrophobic and sterically congested polymer. We have explored three approaches towards modifying the dissolution behavior of P(NB/( ) polymer matrices ... 

Surfactants have also been of interest for their ability to support reactions in normally inhospitable environments. Reactions such as hydrolysis, aminolysis, solvolysis, and, in inorganic chemistry, of aquation of complex ions, may be retarded, accelerated, or differently sensitive to catalysts relative to the behavior in ordinary solutions (see Refs. 205 and 206 for reviews). The acid-base chemistry in micellar solutions has been investigated by Drummond and co-workers [207]. A useful model has been the pseudophase model [206-209] in which reactants are either in solution or solubilized in micelles and partition between the two as though two distinct phases were involved. In inverse micelles in nonpolar media, water is concentrated in the micellar core and reactions in the micelle may be greatly accelerated [206, 210]. The confining environment of a solubilized reactant may lead to stereochemical consequences as in photodimerization reactions in micelles [211] or vesicles [212] or in the generation of radical pairs [213]. 

Other solubilization and partitioning phenomena are important, both within the context of microemulsions and in the absence of added immiscible solvent. In regular micellar solutions, micelles promote the solubility of many compounds otherwise insoluble in water. The amount of chemical component solubilized in a micellar solution will, typically, be much smaller than can be accommodated in microemulsion fonnation, such as when only a few molecules per micelle are solubilized. Such limited solubilization is nevertheless quite useful. The incoriDoration of minor quantities of pyrene and related optical probes into micelles are a key to the use of fluorescence depolarization in quantifying micellar aggregation numbers and micellar microviscosities [48]. Micellar solubilization makes it possible to measure acid-base or electrochemical properties of compounds otherwise insoluble in aqueous solution. Micellar solubilization facilitates micellar catalysis (see section C2.3.10) and emulsion polymerization (see section C2.3.12). On the other hand, there are untoward effects of micellar solubilization in practical applications of surfactants. Wlren one has a multiphase...

Chloroacetyl chloride [79-04-9] (CICH2COCI) is the corresponding acid chloride of chloroacetic acid (see Acetyl chloride). Physical properties include mol wt 112.94, C2H2CI2O, mp —21.8 C, bp 106°C, vapor pressure 3.3 kPa (25 mm Hg) at 25°C, 12 kPa (90 mm Hg) at 50°C, and density 1.4202 g/mL and refractive index 1.4530, both at 20°C. Chloroacetyl chloride has a sharp, pungent, irritating odor. It is miscible with acetone and bensene and is initially insoluble in water. A slow reaction at the water—chloroactyl chloride interface, however, produces chloroacetic acid. When sufficient acid is formed to solubilize the two phases, a violent reaction forming chloroacetic acid and HCl occurs. 

There are numerous variations of the wet process, but all involve an initial step in which the ore is solubilized in sulfuric acid, or, in a few special instances, in some other acid. Because of this requirement for sulfuric acid, it is obvious that sulfur is a raw material of considerable importance to the fertilizer industry. The acid—rock reaction results in formation of phosphoric acid and the precipitation of calcium sulfate. The second principal step in the wet processes is filtration to separate the phosphoric acid from the precipitated calcium sulfate. Wet-process phosphoric acid (WPA) is much less pure than electric furnace acid, but for most fertilizer production the impurities, such as iron, aluminum, and magnesium, are not objectionable and actually contribute to improved physical condition of the finished fertilizer (35). Impurities also furnish some micronutrient fertilizer elements. 

Triple (Concentrated) Superphosphate. The first important use of phosphoric acid in fertilizer processing was in the production of triple superphosphate (TSP), sometimes called concentrated superphosphate. Basically, the production process for this material is the same as that for normal superphosphate, except that the reactants are phosphate rock and phosphoric acid instead of phosphate rock and sulfuric acid. The phosphoric acid, like sulfuric acid, solubilizes the rock and, in addition, contributes its own content of soluble phosphoms. The result is triple superphosphate of 45—47% P2 s content as compared to 16—20% P2 5 normal superphosphate. Although triple superphosphate has been known almost as long as normal superphosphate, it did not reach commercial importance until the late 1940s, when commercial supply of acid became available. 

Nitric Phosphate. About 15% of worldwide phosphate fertilizer production is by processes that are based on solubilization of phosphate rock with nitric acid iastead of sulfuric or phosphoric acids (64). These processes, known collectively as nitric phosphate or nitrophosphate processes are important, mainly because of the iadependence from sulfur as a raw material and because of the freedom from the environmental problem of gypsum disposal that accompanies phosphoric acid-based processes. These two characteristics are expected to promote eventual iacrease ia the use of nitric phosphate processes, as sulfur resources diminish and/or environmental restrictions are tightened. 

These solvents differ in volatility and selectivity for the removal of H2S, mercaptans, and CO2 from gases of different composition. Other alkaline solvents used for the absorption of acidic components in gases include potassium carbonate, K CO, solutions combined with a variety of activators and solubilizers to improve gas—Hquid contacting. 

Temporary hair dye products usually are formulated at a neutral or slightly acidic pH. Besides the dyes, the formulations may contain a small amount of a quaternary amine to neutralize the negative charge on the dyes, a fragrance, a small amount of a solvent or surfactant to solubilize the fragrance, and a preservative (Table 6). 

Semipermanent hair color products are formulated at an alkaline pH, usually between 8.5 and 10. At this pH the cuticle of the hair lifts away from the hair a Httie, allowing for easier penetration of dye. An alkyl amine buffered with an organic acid normally is used to obtain the desired pH. The formulations contain a mixture of solvents and surfactants to solubilize the dyes and a thickening agent is added so that the product stays on the hair without mnning or dripping. A 20—30 min appHcation time is normal for this type of product. A representative formula for a semipermanent dye product is given in Table 7. 

Typically, soHd stabilizers utilize natural saturated fatty acid ligands with chain lengths of Cg—C g. Ziac stearate [557-05-1/, ziac neodecanoate [27253-29-8] calcium stearate [1592-23-0] barium stearate [6865-35-6] and cadmium laurate [2605-44-9] are some examples. To complete the package, the soHd products also contain other soHd additives such as polyols, antioxidants, and lubricants. Liquid stabilizers can make use of metal soaps of oleic acid, tall oil acids, 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid, octylphenol, and nonylphenol. Barium bis(nonylphenate) [41157-58-8] ziac 2-ethyIhexanoate [136-53-8], cadmium 2-ethyIhexanoate [2420-98-6], and overbased barium tallate [68855-79-8] are normally used ia the Hquid formulations along with solubilizers such as plasticizers, phosphites, and/or epoxidized oils. The majority of the Hquid barium—cadmium formulations rely on barium nonylphenate as the source of that metal. There are even some mixed metal stabilizers suppHed as pastes. The U.S. FDA approved calcium—zinc stabilizers are good examples because they contain a mixture of calcium stearate and ziac stearate suspended ia epoxidized soya oil. Table 4 shows examples of typical mixed metal stabilizers. 

The typical SEA process uses a manganese catalyst with a potassium promoter (for solubilization) in a batch reactor. A manganese catalyst increases the relative rate of attack on carbonyl intermediates. Low conversions are followed by recovery and recycle of complex intermediate streams. Acid recovery and purification involve extraction with caustic and heat treatment to further decrease small amounts of impurities (particularly carbonyls). The fatty acids are recovered by freeing with sulfuric acid and, hence, sodium sulfate is a by-product. 

For deliming, ammonium salts and acids are used. The proportion of ammonium salts to acids and the type of acids employed is a matter of the tanner s choice. The acid neutralizes the lime, Ca(OH)2, thereby adjusting the pH. The ammonium salts have two functions to buffer the solution to a pH required for bating, and to form calcium ammonium complexes. The acidity and the complex formation solubilize the calcium and serve to bring the hide to the desired pH.
