Storing, main unit processes

Naphthol is mainly used in the manufacture of the insecticide carbaryl (59), l-naphthyl A/-methyicarbamate/ iJ-2j5 - (Sevin) (22), which is produced by the reaction of 1-naphthol with methyl isocyanate. Methyl isocyanate is usually prepared by treating methylamine with phosgene. Methyl isocyanate is a very toxic Hquid, boiling at 38°C, and should not be stored for long periods of time (Bhopal accident, India). India has developed a process for the preparation of aryl esters of A/-alkyl carbamic acids. Thus l-naphthyl methylcarbamate is prepared by refluxing 1-naphthol with ethyl methylcarbamate and POCl in toluene (60). In 1992, carbaryl production totaled > 11.4 x 10 t(35). Rhc ne-Poulenc, at its Institute, W. Va., facihty is the only carbaryl producer in United States. 

Tanks are used in innumerable ways in the chemical process iadustry, not only to store every conceivable Hquid, vapor, or soHd, but also ia a number of processiag appHcations. For example, as weU as reactors, tanks have served as the vessels for various unit operations such as settling, mixing, crystallisation (qv), phase separation, and heat exchange. Hereia the main focus is on the use of tanks as Hquid storage vessels. The principles outlined, however, can generally be appHed to tanks ia other appHcations as weU as to other pressure-containing equipment. 

In this type of humidifier, the water required for the humidification process is stored within the unit and is normally fed automatically from the water mains. However, smaller portable units do not have this automatic facility and have to be manually filled with water as required. 

UNA is investigating the installation of pyrolysis units from Pyrovac, with a total capacity of 120 kton/a at the Hemweg power plant. With this so-called Pyrocycling process the main objectives are to produce char and oil, which can be co-combusted directly with the pulverised coal or, if desired, be stored and co-combusted later at Hemweg or at another power plant. 

Ferritins can store excess iron and release it when required for cellular processes. In addition, neuromelanin (NM), which is an organic polymer consisting of dihydroxyindole and benzothiazine units which are products of dopamine metabolism, is also present and is able to bind a number of metals, e.g., copper and iron. In oligodendrocytes, iron is bound to both H- and L-chain ferritin, in microglia to L-ferritin, while neurons contain mostly neuromelanin. In contrast, astrocytes contain hardly any ferritin. As to the movement of iron between different brain regions, this in the main remains unclear. It is thought that transferrin and ferritin may be important, since mRNA receptors for these iron proteins are detectable in grey matter and white matter, respectively. The fate of non-transferrin-bound iron, which may cross the BBB, remains unclear. 

The BTRS makes use of a temperature-dependent ion exchange process to store boron and release boron to the RCS without discharging water to the BRS for later evaporation. The BTRS, which operates in conjunction with the CVCS, consists mainly of several demineralizers, a chiller unit, a chiller pump, heat exchangers, a BTRS recirculation pump, a BTR...
