Source Options

Nature Works LLC has announced a source options program, especially for European customers who may view maize variety as an important market issue. Customers may choose their desired level of 

Japanese electronics company Sharp has developed technology to blend PLA biopolymers with conventional plastics recovered from scrapped consumer appliances. Petroleum-based plastics are generally incompatible with bioplastics, and blends tend to show inferior properties such as impact strength and heat resistance. Sharp claims to have overcome these problems with a microdispersion technology that dramatically improves the properties of the blended material. The company expects to use such blends in its consumer electronics products by early 2007. 

Another Japanese consumer electronics company, NEC, plans to adopt PLA biopolymers for its cellphones and personal computers in order to achieve product differentiation. Impact strength, heat deformation resistance and durability are required for cellphones and the company has developed a kenaf-reinforced polylactic acid that meets these requirements. Plans now call for the reinforced resin to be given non-phosphorous, non-halogen flame retardancy, and then applied to notebook personal computer housings starting in 2007. 

Meanwhile, Fujitsu and Toray Industries have developed the first large-scale notebook computer housing based on polylactic acid biodegradable polymers. The housing is moulded of a specially developed PLA/polycarbonate blend that provide the required heat and flame resistance. 

In 2005, Japanese company Kaneka developed the first beads-process, foamed resin moulded product, which is based on polylactic acid. The new KanePearl product has the strength and shock-absorbing properties of existing beads-process, foamed polystyrene products.

If more realistic stack parameters can be determined, then the estimate could alternatively be made with the point source option of SCREEN. In doing so, care should be taken to account for the vertical height of the flame in specifying the release height. Figure 12 shows an example for a flare release. 

Note that for stable conditions and/or mixing heights greater than or equal to 10,000 m, unlimited mixing is assumed and the summation term is assumed to be zero, as noted by expressions presented earlier in this chapter. Equation (9) is used to model the plume impacts from point sources, flare releases, and volume releases in SCREEN. The SCREEN volume source option uses a virtual point source approach. The model uses a numerical integration algorithm for modeling impacts from area sources. 

However, as it has been discussed in several instances (4-6), the guideline leaves much to be desired in terms of scientific exactness (e.g., the suggested actinometer has several disadvantages) as well as of unequivocal practical interpretation (e.g., two possibilities are presented for the light source, Option 1 and Option 2 , but it is not clear whether these are equally appropriate). 

The technique was used in four case studies including the replacement of dichloromethane as a solvent in oxidation reactions of alcohols, which is an important area of green chemistry. 2-Pentanone, other ketones and some esters were suggested as suitable replacement solvents. At this point, the programme was not able to assess the effects of non-organic solvents because of a lack of available data. However, this approach holds promise for reactions where a VOC could be replaced with a far less hazardous, less toxic or bio-sourced option. 

Under the "Choice of Light Sources" Option 1 was listed as the xenon lamp. Option 2 as the metal-halide and Option 3 as the "Fluorescent lamp matching the spectral distribution of the UV and visible components of indoor indirect daylight between 300 and 800nm."...

The ICH Guideline offers two sources options 1 and 2. The merits and drawbacks of each of these sources are discussed in a separate section later. 

For source options 1 and 2, one may rely on the spectral distribution specification provided by the light source manufacturer.

Step 3 Form category teams. These teams are small groups with the charter to examine the sourcing options for the category and to make recommendations to senior management. Ideally, especially in a decentralized organization, teams should have representatives from each of the key business units to obtain diversified inputs and to build consensus.

A fuel gas long situation also provides the opportunity to recover valuable products from the fuel gas. For example, a refinery plant might consider recovery of hydrogen from a hydroprocessing gas source. Options for H2 recovery include pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and membrane systems based on the H2 purity requirement. Alternatively, ethane and ethylene could be recovered from certain fuel...
