Suitability

To establish safety and to ensure consistency, the complete chemical composition should be provided for every material used in the manufacture of a packaging component. Test results from appropriate qualification and characterization tests should be provided. Adequate information regarding the tests, methods, acceptance criteria, reference standards, and validation information should be also provided. 

To address protection, use of tests (see Attachment A) for light transmission, moisture permeation, microbial limits, and sterility are generally considered sufficient. Testing for properties other than those described above (e.g., gas transmission, solvent leakage container integrity) may also be necessary. 

To address performance, the results of nonfunctionality tests are considered sufficient if the test and acceptance criteria are appropriate for the intended purpose. Tests described there are typically considered sufficient standards for establishing specified properties and characteristics of specified materials of construction or packaging components. For nonfunctionality tests, an applicant should provide justification for the use of the test, a complete and detailed description of how the test was performed, and an explanation of what the test is intended to establish. If a related test is available, comparative data should be provided using both methods. Supporting data should include a demonstration of the suitability of the test for its intended use and its validation. 

Testing on an assembled container closure system is usually performed by the applicant (or a testing laboratory commissioned by the applicant), and the test results are provided in the application. Such tests may include vacuum-leak testing, moisture permeation, and weight loss or media fill. Testing on an individual packaging component is typically performed by the manufacturer of the component and is reported via a DMF (see Section V). 

The tests and methods used by the applicant for acceptance of each batch of a packaging component that they receive should be described. If a batch is to be accepted based on a supplier s COA or COC, then the procedure for supplier validation should be described. The data from the supplier s COA or COC should clearly indicate that the lot meets the applicant s acceptance criteria. Acceptance criteria for extractables should also be included, if appropriate.

Since the accuracy of experimental data is frequently not high, and since experimental data are hardly ever plentiful, it is important to reduce the available data with care using a suitable statistical method and using a model for the excess Gibbs energy which contains only a minimum of binary parameters. Rarely are experimental data of sufficient quality and quantity to justify more than three binary parameters and, all too often, the data justify no more than two such parameters. When data sources (5) or (6) or (7) are used alone, it is not possible to use a three- (or more)-parameter model without making additional arbitrary assumptions. For typical engineering calculations, therefore, it is desirable to use a two-parameter model such as UNIQUAC. 

Guffey and Wehe (1972) used excess Gibbs energy equations proposed by Renon (1968a, 1968b) and Blac)c (1959) to calculate multicomponent LLE. They concluded that prediction of ternary data from binary data is not reliable, but that quarternary LLE can be predicted from accurate ternary representations. Here, we carry these results a step further we outline a systematic procedure for determining binary parameters which are suitable for multicomponent LLE. 

In the maximum-likelihood method used here, the "true" value of each measured variable is also found in the course of parameter estimation. The differences between these "true" values and the corresponding experimentally measured values are the residuals (also called deviations). When there are many data points, the residuals can be analyzed by standard statistical methods (Draper and Smith, 1966). If, however, there are only a few data points, examination of the residuals for trends, when plotted versus other system variables, may provide valuable information. Often these plots can indicate at a glance excessive experimental error, systematic error, or "lack of fit." Data points which are obviously bad can also be readily detected. If the model is suitable and if there are no systematic errors, such a plot shows the residuals randomly distributed with zero means. This behavior is shown in Figure 3 for the ethyl-acetate-n-propanol data of Murti and Van Winkle (1958), fitted with the van Laar equation. 

As discussed in Chapter 3, the virial equation is suitable for describing vapor-phase nonidealities of nonassociating (or weakly associating) fluids at moderate densities. Equation (1) gives the second virial coefficient which is used directly in Equation (3-lOb) to calculate the fugacity coefficients. 

The lack of suitable catalysts is the most common reason preventing the exploitation of novel reaction paths. At the first stage of design, it is impossible to look ahead and see all the consequences of choosing one reaction path or another, but some things are clear even at this stage. Consider the following example. 

However, if high rates of heat transfer are required or the catalyst requires frequent regeneration, then fixed beds are not suitable, and under these circumstances, a fluidized bed is preferred, as we shall discuss later. 

Drum dryers are shown in Fig. 3.15c. his consists of a heated metal roll. As the roll rotates, a layer of liquid or slurry is dried. The final dry solid is scraped off the roll. The product comes ofiF in flaked form. Drum dryers are suitable for handling slurries or pastes of solids in fine suspension and are limited to low and moderate throughput. 

Whether heat integration is restricted to the separation system or allowed with the rest of the process, integration always benefits from colder reboiler streams and hotter condenser streams. This point is dealt with in more general terms in Chap. 12. In addition, when column pressures are allowed to vary, columns with smaller temperature differences are easier to integrate, since smaller changes in pressure are required to achieve suitable integration. This second point is explained in more detail in Chap. 14. 

Although the composite curves can be used to set energy targets, they are not a suitable tool for the selection of utilities. The grand composite curve is a more appropriate tool for understanding the interface between the process and the utility system. It is also, as is shown in later chapters, a useful tool for study of the interaction between heat-integrated reactors and separators and the rest of the process. 

Treat the effluent using incineration, biplogical digestion, etc. to a form suitable for discharge to the environment, called end-of -pipe treatment. 

Bag filters. Bag filters, as discussed in Chap. 3 and illustrated in Fig. 3.66, are probably the most common method of separating particulate materials from gases. A cloth or felt filter material is used that is impervious to the particles. Bag filters are suitable for use in very high dust load conditions. They have an extremely high efficiency, but they suflFer from the disadvantage that the pressure drop across them may be high. ... 

Soaps of heavy metals have been used but cationic surface-active agents have proved more suitable, notably organic amines of relatively high molecular weight. 

Benzene was first isolated by Faraday in 1825 from the liquid condensed by compressing oil gas. It is the lightest fraction obtained from the distillation of the coal-tar hydrocarbons, but most benzene is now manufactured from suitable petroleum fractions by dehydrogenation (54%) and dealkylation processes. Its principal industrial use is as a starting point for other chemicals, particularly ethylbenzene, cumene, cyclohexane, styrene (45%), phenol (20%), and Nylon (17%) precursors. U.S. production 1979 2-6 B gals. 

As it is now possible by choice of suitable conditions to prepare most compounds in this form, the colloid state should be considered as a physical state in which all substances can be made to exist. Many ma terials such as proteins, vegetable fibres, rubber, etc. are most stable or occur naturally in the colloidal slate. In the colloidal stale the properties of surface are all-important. 

The base used is most often benzyltrimelhyl-ammonium hydroxide, but aqueous or ethano-lic alkali is suitable. In addition to compounds... 

C, b.p. 16UC. Manufactured by heating phenol with hydrogen under pressure in the presence of suitable catalysts. Oxidized to adipic acid (main use as intermediate for nylon production) dehydrogenated to cyclohexanone. 

Enzymes are obtained from plants, animals and micro-organisms by extraction with a suitable solvent, preferably after the cell structure has been destroyed by drying or grinding. They can be purified by precipitation and resolution and by fractional absorption and elution. Many enzymes have been obtained crystalline. 

The first penicillin was benzylpenicillin (penicillin G, R = C6H5 CH2 C0 NH-), which is made by growing suitable strains of Penicillium chrysogenum on a carbohydrate medium. 

It reacts chemically as if it were either 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene or the triketone of hexa-hydrobenzene. The trialkyl derivative of the hydroxy-form or the trioxime of the keto-form can be obtained from phloroglucinol by reacting in a suitable manner. In certain cases derivatives of the two forms are interchangeable. Used in printing, photography, adhesives, pharmaceuticals. 

The phthalocyanines must be suitably dis-p>ersed to be used as pigments or they can be sulphonated to water-soluble forms for dyeing and for precipitation as lakes. The dispersion is carried out by solution in sulphuric acid, followed by precipitation in water.
