Synthesis of chemical

It has been mentioned already that only a few inorganic and organic electrochemical processes have made it to commercial scale, but the potential may be there and should not be ignored. Recent surveys of the field and of the literature have been made by Hine (1985), Pletcher (1982), and Roberts et al. (1982).

The applications of this simple measure of surface adsorbate coverage have been quite widespread and diverse. It has been possible, for example, to measure adsorption isothemis in many systems. From these measurements, one may obtain important infomiation such as the adsorption free energy, A G° = -RTln(K ) [21]. One can also monitor tire kinetics of adsorption and desorption to obtain rates. In conjunction with temperature-dependent data, one may frirther infer activation energies and pre-exponential factors [73, 74]. Knowledge of such kinetic parameters is useful for teclmological applications, such as semiconductor growth and synthesis of chemical compounds [75]. Second-order nonlinear optics may also play a role in the investigation of physical kinetics, such as the rates and mechanisms of transport processes across interfaces [76].

The challenge in the synthesis of chemical libraries is the vast number of different, potentially drug-like small molecules which is estimated to be as high as 1060. As all of these molecules can never be synthesized and tested, it is essential to define criteria for the composition of libraries spanning the biologically relevant areas of the chemical space most efficiently. An important criterion of a compound library is its chemical diversity, a term describing the similarity or dissimilarity of all library components. Thus, chemical diversity expresses how well a library represents all theoretical possibilities within the chemical property space. A library with low...

Chemical flowshops are widely used in industry for the medium-scale synthesis of chemicals. In a flowshop, a number of different physical units, such as reactor vessels, ovens, dryers, and distillation columns are placed in a serial, or largely serial, arrangement. Rather than being devoted to the preparation of a single chemical, many different chemicals are synthesized one after another in a flowshop by feeding in the appropriate precursors and reagents as the intermediates pass through most or all of the units. This mode of operation is an effective use of the physical plant because no part...

Chemical engineers have responded successfully for years to pressures to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of chemical process operations and to design and construct chemical plants as safely and expeditiously as possible. In this regard, the unit operations concept has long been a useful organizing principle for the synthesis of chemical process flow sheets, while economies of scale and energy efficiency have dictated construction of the very large petrochemical plants that have dominated the scene for decades. 

Figure 3.6 shows the equilibrium characteristics for the C-02-H20 reaction system. To favor production of CO and H2 from coal, reactions 3.9 and 3.10 should be carried out at a comparatively low pressure and low temperature. However, during actual production, synthesis of chemicals usually occur at high pressures of CO and H2, and therefore, the gasifier should be operated at high pressure and high temperature to obtain high process efficiency.

In the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, recombinant DNA technology will allow the synthesis of chemicals that can only be practically achieved through a bioprocess. For example, methylation of a particular carbon in a chemical structure might be done quite easily with a recombinant-engineered bacteria. This technology will allow the synthesis of a family of isomers and the development of a synthetic process that cannot be achieved by strict physical chemical processes.
