Solvents, advantages and disadvantages

Semi-aqueous cleaners based on halogen-free solvents, advantages and disadvantages... 

There are advantages and disadvantages in both processes the solvent process requires no special equipment but uses an excess of benzene whose recovery adds to the cost of the product. The bad mill method uses no excess benzene but requires special equipment which has frequent mechanical problems. 

The variety of enzyme-catalyzed kinetic resolutions of enantiomers reported ia recent years is enormous. Similar to asymmetric synthesis, enantioselective resolutions are carried out ia either hydrolytic or esterification—transesterification modes. Both modes have advantages and disadvantages. Hydrolytic resolutions that are carried out ia a predominantiy aqueous medium are usually faster and, as a consequence, require smaller quantities of enzymes. On the other hand, esterifications ia organic solvents are experimentally simpler procedures, aHowiag easy product isolation and reuse of the enzyme without immobilization. 

Once such effects had been noted, it became necessary to interpret the observed results and to classify the solvents. The earliest attempts at this were by Stobbe, who reviewed the effects of solvents on keto-enol tautomers [4]. Since then many attempts have been used to explain solvent effects, some based on observations of chemical reactions, others on physical properties of the solvents, and yet others on spectroscopic probes. All of these have their advantages and disadvantages and no one approach can be thought of as exclusively right . This review is organized by type of measurement, and the available information is then summarized at the end.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using supercritical carbon dioxide and water as solvents in place of organic solvents. 

One issue that is of some importance when considering the makeup of field fortification solutions is whether to use the technical form of the active ingredient in solvent or the formulated test product in a carrier such as water. This issue has been a point of contention for many years among scientists who perform and evaluate such studies. There are some advantages and disadvantages to either choice. 

Advantages and disadvantages of HS-GC over regular GC are summarised in Table. 4.26. HS-GC fingerprinting chromatograms obviously include only the volatile components present and do not provide a complete picture of sample composition on the other hand, when solvent extraction is used, all the soluble sample constituents are removed, including also those having no appreciable vapour pressure at the equilibration temperature. Headspace analysis enhances the peaks of volatile trace components. 

The principles and goals of ozone application in both types of three-phase systems are discussed in Section B 6.3.1. Since mass transfer may decisively influence the oxidation outcome in these complex systems, their additional resistances and effects on mass transfer is also discussed in detail in this section. In doing so, the gas/water/solvent system is used as an example for both types of system, leaving the reader to adapt the principles to the gas/ waler/solid systems by him- or herself. Examples of ozone application in both types of three-phase systems are then presented (Section B 6.3.2), with emphasis on their goals, as well us technical advantages and disadvantages, while Section B 6.3.3 provides useful advise for experimentation with three-phase systems.
