In the Dupont process, cyclohexane is reacted with air at 150 °C and 10 atm pressure in the presence of a soluble cobalt(II) salt (naphthenate or stearate). The conversion is limited to 8-10% in order to prevent consecutive oxidation of the ol-one mixture. Nonconverted cyclohexane is recycled to the oxidation reactor. Combined yields of ol-one mixture are 70-80%.83,84,555 The ol-one mixture is sent to another oxidation reactor where oxidation by nitric acid is performed at 70-80 °C by nitric acid (45-50%) in the presence of a mixture of Cu(N03)2 and NH4V03 catalysts, which increase the selectivity of the reaction. The reaction is complete in a few minutes and adipic acid precipitates from the reaction medium. The adipic acid yield is about 90%. Nitric acid oxidation produces gaseous products, mainly nitric oxides, which are recycled to a nitric acid synthesis unit. Some nitric acid is lost to products such as N2 and N20 which are not recovered. 

Synthesis units are controlled from the host via an interface unit that permits DMA transfers to the private bus (shown here in three buses Data,Ctrl and Addr). The generators can input and output data to and from the data bus under control from the...

The purge gas from the methanol synthesis unit contains mainly methane. Depending upon the size of the plant, this stream may be reformed to supplement the synthesis gas produced from coal gasification. 

For the investment for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis unit is used 10,200 Euro/barrel per day capacity (BPD). This value is based on 30% of the cost of a FT-unit with natural gas gasification of 30,000/BPD. 

For this combination of reasons, most large ammonia plants have to recycle a large proportion of the converter exit gases in the form of unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen. Thus, a significant component of the engineering of a modern ammonia synthesis unit is concerned with pressure and heat conservation to enable this recycle to be conducted as economically as possible.

In an industrial plant for EP, 1,3-DCP and DCP are converted into EP with Ca(OH)2/water or CaO/water. The chiral DCP is essentially converted into EP by the same reaction. However, under certain conditions chiral EP racemizes very readily, especially in the presence of Cl via an exchange reaction. For example, racemization occurred during epoxidation of DCP to EP when Ca(OH)2 was used as the alkali or when EP was not quickly extracted into the solvent [27], because Cl reacted with EP and symmetrical 1,3-DCP was formed, which yields EP more promptly than 2,3-DCP. Less racemization occurs at low temperature (Fig. 20). Furthermore, EP and GLD gradually react with water. Nucleophilic attack on EP usually occurred at the Cl position and partly at the C2 position. For example, pure optically active EP was opened by boiling water/acid, and the % ee values decreased to 88% ee. Epoxides are also unstable because polymerization gradually proceeds. As a consequence, EP and GLD can not be kept for a long time, but these epoxides are useful and reactive synthesis units. CPD is racemized by heating, but the stability is far better than that of EP and GLD, and is considered useful for practical applications. 

In 1992, refiners began to choose a variety of routes to the synthesis of MTBE [51]. Valero Refining Marketing, in its MTBE synthesis plant, uses a butane/butylene mixture from the heavy oil cracker vapor recovery unit which on hydrogenation converts butadiene to butylene. This is then mixed with methanol in the MTBE synthesis unit, the MTBE product is separated and the butane/butene stream is charged to the alkylation unit. The butadiene is removed from the alkylation unit. This improves alkylate quality and reduces acid consumption. A block diagram of this unit is shown in Figure 3.29. 

Contrary to the two first classes of industrial wastewater, the chemical industry, and particularly the organic synthesis units, gives the most structured UV spectra for waste-water (Fig. 1) as far as the molecules synthesised are complex, as, for example, for pharmaceutical units. Taking into account the huge variety of molecules synthesised nowadays, it is impossible to show some characteristic examples of UV spectra of wastewater. Therefore, each industry has to be considered as unique with its own potential applications. 

This new single-step synthesis unites the simplicity of preparation and lower production costs, with the outstanding properties of the final catalysts. By the single-step procedure proposed here, deposition of dispersed nanoparticles of noble metals on ceramic supports with customised textural properties and shape was achieved. Noble metals including platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, etc. and metal oxides including copper, iron, nickel, chromimn, cerium oxides, etc on sepiolite or its mixtures with alumina, titania, zirconia or other refractory oxides have been also studied. 

In 1985, Houghten [11] used this method in his tea bag approach described in section 3.4.4.2 of this chapter. As an elemental synthesis unit, instead of individual resin beads, he used small batches of resin packed into a polypropylene mesh. Furka [12,13] described the split/pool methodology for the synthesis of peptides. The peptides were cleaved and analyzed as mixtures and separated by HPLC as a rapid method for multiple peptide synthesis. In his work, Furka did not suggest explicitly to cleave individual compounds from individual beads. This seemingly obvious idea was recognized by Lam [14,15]. Split/pool synthesis was further developed and widely used by many others working in-the field of combinatorial chemistry [16]. The new Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry published a very interesting historical perspective on the major events in this field [17],... 

This catalyst is preferably reduced in the synthesis unit with hydrogen at 250-350° C. for 1-4 hours. The rate of hydrogen flow is 1 cubic meter/kg. cataJyst/hour. Reduction with synthesis gas is possible. Synthesis is started at about 180° C., and the temperature is raised to 220° C. in 2 days. The operating pressure was 20 atmospheres. The space velocity (volumes of gas per volume of catalyst per hour) of fresh gas is 100, of recycle gas 300, and the tail-gas volume is 48% of the fresh-gas volume. Over an operating period of 3 months, the temperature is raised from 220 to 230° C. This catalyst has not been run to exhaustion by Lurgi, but it is believed that its life would be about 1 year. Other conditions of the operation and yields are shown in Table VI.
