Storage excess

In mammals, muscle breakdown or excess protein intake results in an imbalance between the fates of the carbon chains and the amino nitrogen. Unlike fat (lipid storage) or glycogen (carbohydrate storage), excess amino acids are not stored in polymeric form for later utilization. The carbon chains of amino acids are generally metabolized into tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates, although it is also possible to make ketone bodies such as acetoacetate from some. Conversion to TCA intermediates is easy to see in some instances. For example, alanine is directly transaminated to pyruvate.

Production and Shipment. Estimated adiponitrile production capacities in the U.S. in 1992 were about 625 thousand metric tons and worldwide capacity was in excess of lO metric tons. The DOT/IMO classification for adiponitrile is class 6.1 hazard, UN No. 2205. It requires a POISON label on all containers and is in packing group III. Approved materials of constmction for shipping, storage, and associated transportation equipment are carbon steel and type 316 stainless steel. Either centrifugal or positive displacement pumps may be used. Carbon dioxide or chemical-foam fire extinguishers should be used. There are no specifications for commercial adiponitrile. The typical composition is 99.5 wt % adiponitrile. Impurities that may be present depend on the method of manufacture, and thus, vary depending on the source. 

The reactor effluent, containing 1—2% hydrazine, ammonia, sodium chloride, and water, is preheated and sent to the ammonia recovery system, which consists of two columns. In the first column, ammonia goes overhead under pressure and recycles to the anhydrous ammonia storage tank. In the second column, some water and final traces of ammonia are removed overhead. The bottoms from this column, consisting of water, sodium chloride, and hydrazine, are sent to an evaporating crystallizer where sodium chloride (and the slight excess of sodium hydroxide) is removed from the system as a soHd. Vapors from the crystallizer flow to the hydrate column where water is removed overhead. The bottom stream from this column is close to the hydrazine—water azeotrope composition. Standard materials of constmction may be used for handling chlorine, caustic, and sodium hypochlorite. For all surfaces in contact with hydrazine, however, the preferred material of constmction is 304 L stainless steel. 

Commercial-grade nitroparaftins are shipped and stored ia ordinary carbon steel. However, wet nitroparaftins containing more than 0.1—0.2% water may become discolored when stored ia steel for long periods, even though corrosion is not excessive. Aluminum and stainless steel are completely resistant to corrosion by wet nitroparaftins. Storage ia contact with lead (qv), copper, or alloys containing these metals should be avoided. Polymeric materials for gaskets, hoses, and connections should be tested for thek suitabiHty before exposure to nitroparaftins. 

In addition, because of the extreme variation in the bulk density of products, use of the standard 19-L (5-gal), 38-L (10-gal), 61-L (16-gal), 114-L (30-gal), and 208-L (55-gal) metal dmms often results in excessive outage. Fiber dmms, in contrast, are available in a wide range of sizes, and can be sized to meet product volumes, thus allowing for Httle outage as weU as saving storage and shipping space. 

Protection capabilities of bags can be maximized by maintaining the moisture content of the paper at 6—8% by weight, relative to a shipping environment of 21°C at 60% in relative humidity. When the moisture content of shipping-sack paper drops below 6%, the sacks become excessively brittle however, if short-term storage under such conditions is unavoidable, an attempt should be made to place them in an environment with adequate relative humidity for 24—48 hours prior to their use. 

The packaging (qv) requirements for shipping and storage of thermoplastic resins depend on the moisture that can be absorbed by the resin and its effect when the material is heated to processing temperatures. Excess moisture may result in undesirable degradation during melt processing and inferior properties. Condensation polymers such as nylons and polyesters need to be specially predried to very low moisture levels (3,4), ie, less than 0.2% for nylon-6,6 and as low as 0.005% for poly(ethylene terephthalate) which hydrolyzes faster.

The analyses can be carried out in the presence of /V-methy1o1 groups. On fabric, the formaldehyde bisulfite compound is decomposed by excess sodium carbonate and the Hberated sulfite is titrated with 0.1- or 0.01-N iodine solution (76). Commercial fabrics are seldom washed and dried before being used, and the free formaldehyde content may be between 50 and several hundred ppm, depending on finishing and storage conditions.
