This chapter concentrates on principles of the hydrothermal synthesis of zeolites. Silicate-based systems are the most important industrially and have been studied in the most detail and over the longest period. There is therefore a great deal of experimental (and theoretical) evidence on which to base reaction schemes, and a series of thorough reviews (see particularly those of Cundy and Cox, and references within) and at least one monograph d have appeared on the subject. Phosphate syntheses are less thoroughly studied, but follow the... 

Example of an HACCP System. The HACCP system can be used to ensure production of a safe cooked, sHced turkey breast with gravy, which has been vacuum packaged in a flexible plastic pouch and subjected to a final heat treatment prior to distribution (37). Raw turkey breasts are trimmed, then injected with a solution containing sodium chloride and sodium phosphate. Next, the meat is placed into a tumbler. After tumbling, the meat is stuffed into a casing, placed onto racks, and moved into a cook tank, where it is cooked to an internal temperature of at least 71.1°C (160°F). After... 

Precipitator dust often contains concentrated amounts of minor ore components that make it attractive. The potassium, phosphate, and 2inc content have resulted in its use in ferti1i2er, and the sdver and gallium content have been the subject of some recovery efforts (see Recycling). 

Devising an economical method of producing agricultural-grade potassium phosphates from potassium chloride and wet-process phosphoric acid has been the subject of intense agricultural—chemical research (37—39). Limited quantities have been produced industrially. The impact on the overall quantities of phosphoms and potassium compounds consumed by the fertilizer industry is small. Because potassium phosphates are an excellent source of two essential fertilizer elements, this research is expected to continue. 

For commercial appHcation, catalyst activity is only one of the factors to be considered. Equally important is catalyst life, but Htde has been pubHshed on this aspect. Partly because of entrainment losses and partly through loss of acid as volatile triethyl phosphate, the catalyst loses activity unless compensating steps are taken. This decline in activity can be counteracted by the periodic or continuous addition of phosphoric acid to the catalyst during use, a fact that seems to have been disclosed as early as 1940 (94). A catalyst subjected periodically to acid addition could remain in service indefinitely, according to a report by Shell (91). A later Shell patent (85) states that complete reimpregnation with acid is required every 200 mn-days. 

In a typical process adiponitrile is formed by the interaction of adipic acid and gaseous ammonia in the presence of a boron phosphate catalyst at 305-350°C. The adiponitrile is purified and then subjected to continuous hydrogenation at 130°C and 4000 Ibf/in (28 MPa) pressure in the presence of excess ammonia and a cobalt catalyst. By-products such as hexamethyleneimine are formed but the quantity produced is minimized by the use of excess ammonia. Pure hexamethylenediamine (boiling point 90-92°C at 14mmHg pressure, melting point 39°C) is obtained by distillation, Hexamethylenediamine is also prepared commercially from butadience. The butadiene feedstock is of relatively low cost but it does use substantial quantities of hydrogen cyanide. The process developed by Du Pont may be given schematically as ... 

The phosphates are effective only in small concentrations. Phosphate treated muds are subject to several limitations ... 

These materials are now widely used for coating both steel and concrete surfaces that are subject to a particularly aggressive environment (e.g. North Sea oil platforms). There is less validity for their use under normal atmospheric conditions since they are relatively expensive and tend to chalk on exposure to sunlight. However, their use as zinc phosphate, pretreatment or blast primers for blast-cleaned steel which is subsequently overcoated by any other paint system is an extremely valuable contribution to the painting of new steel work. 

Salts giving an alkaline reaction may be corrosive to the irons, and while neutral solutions can be handled safely there is usually little point in using high-silicon irons for these relatively innocuous solutions. The irons are useful in handling acidic solutions, subject to the restrictions already referred to regarding the halide, sulphite and phosphate ions. 

Dissolution of Human Urinary Calculi in Vitro. Five human urinary calculi containing various proportions of Ca3(P04)2, Ca(C204), CaC03, and MgNH4(P04) were subjected to similar dissolution tests at pH 7 (Table 11). The same dissolution patterns as those of the model phosphate and oxalate calculi are found. That is, for phosphate calculi no. 1-4, X is more effective than [18]aneN6 or EDTA and for oxalate calculus no. 5, EDTA is best. 

Purification of photoprotein. The dialyzed photoprotein solution was centrifuged to remove precipitates, and then subjected to fractional precipitation by ammonium sulfate, taking a fraction precipitated between 30% and 50% saturation. The protein precipitate was dissolved in 50 ml of 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.0, containing 0.1 mM oxine ( pH 6.0 buffer ), dialyzed against the same buffer, and the dialyzed solution was adsorbed on a column of DEAE-cellulose (2.5 x 13 cm) prepared with the pH 6.0 buffer. The elution was done by a stepwise increase of NaCl concentration. The photoprotein was eluted at 0.2-0.25 M NaCl and a cloudy substance (cofactor 1) was eluted at about 0.5 M NaCl. The photoprotein fraction was further purified on a column of Sephadex G-200 or Ultrogel AcA 34 (1.6 x 80 cm) using the pH 6.0 buffer that contained 0.5 M NaCl. 

As mentioned above, many transcription factors are not always active. Rather the activity of transcription factors is often achieved by induced reversible modification. Most frequently is the addition of phosphate groups (phosphorylation) to Ser, Thr, or Tyr residues. For the AP-1 component c-Jun the phosphorylation at Ser63 and Ser73 enhances activity when cells are subjected to stress, e.g. radiation. Phosphorylation is, however, dispensable for c-Jun-dqDendent tissue homeostasis in the liver, indicating that certain activities do not require the regulatory enhancement. Jun-N-teiminal kinase and a kinase called RSK or p38 catalyze the phosphorylation of AP-1.
