Synthetic natural

The reactivity of alkylthiazoles possessing a functional group linked to the side-chain is discussed here neither in detail nor exhaustively since it is analogous to that of classical aliphatic and aromatic compounds. These reactions are essentially of a synthetic nature. In fact, the cyclization methods discussed in Chapter II lead to thiazoles possessing functional groups on the alkyl chain if the aliphatic compounds to be cyclized, carrying the substituent on what will become the alkyl side chain, are available. If this is not the case, another functional substituent can be introduced on the side-chain by cyclization and can then be converted to the desired substituent by a classical reaction.

With all components in the ideal gas state, the standard enthalpy of the process is exothermic by —165 kJ (—39.4 kcal) per mole of methane formed. Biomass can serve as the original source of hydrogen, which then effectively acts as an energy carrier from the biomass to carbon dioxide, to produce substitute (or synthetic) natural gas (SNG) (see Euels, synthetic). 

Substitute or synthetic natural gas (SNG) has been known for several centuries. When SNG was first discovered, natural gas was largely unknown as a fuel and was more a religious phenomenon (see Gas, NATURAL) (1). Coal (qv) was the first significant source of substitute natural gas and in the early stages of SNG production the product was more commonly known under variations of the name coal gas (2,3). Whereas coal continues to be a principal source of substitute natural gas (4) a more recendy recognized source is petroleum (qv) (5). 

High Heat- Value Gas. High heat-value (high Btu) gas (7) has a heating value usually in excess of 33.5 MJ/m (900 Btu/fT). This is the gaseous fuel that is often referred to as substitute or synthetic natural gas (SNG), or pipeline-quaHty gas. It consists predominantiy of methane and is compatible with natural gas insofar as it may be mixed with, or substituted for, natural gas. 

The processes that have been developed for the production of synthetic natural gas are often configured to produce as much methane in the gasification step as possible thereby minimizing the need for a methanation step. In addition, methane formation is highly exothermic which contributes to process efficiency by the production of heat in the gasifier, where the heat can be used for the endothermic steam—carbon reaction to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen. 

Cmde gas leaves from the top of the gasifier at 288—593°C depending on the type of coal used. The composition of gas also depends on the type of coal and is notable for the relatively high methane content when contrasted to gases produced at lower pressures or higher temperatures. These gas products can be used as produced for electric power production or can be treated to remove carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons to provide synthesis gas for ammonia, methanol, and synthetic oil production. The gas is made suitable for methanation, to produce synthetic natural gas, by a partial shift and carbon dioxide and sulfur removal.

As in the case of coal, synthetic natural gas can be produced from heavy oil by partially oxidizing the oil to a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen... 

Oil Shale. Oil shale (qv) is a sedimentary rock that contains organic matter, referred to as kerogen, and another natural resource of some consequence that could be exploited as a source of synthetic natural gas (67—69). However, as of this writing, oil shale has found Htde use as a source of substitute natural gas. 

Partial oxidation of coal to form either synthetic fuel, syngas, or synthetic natural gas represents a potential use of oxygen (see Fuels, synthetic). 

Woody Family. The perfumer has available many different woody fragrance matetials, both natural and synthetic. Naturals such as sandal, vetivert, cedar, and patchouh often form the bases of these fragrances. They combine iu harmony with sweet notes, florals, and animal accords. 

Camphor Manufacture. Camphor is obtained both naturally and synthetically. Natural camphor is obtained from the wood of the camphor tree, Cinnamormum camphora which grows ia China and Japan. The camphor is isolated by combination of steam distillation, filtration, distillation, and sublimation (169). Natural camphor is the (+)-camphor, whereas synthetic camphor is racemic both products are recognized by the USP. In 1995, the price of synthetic camphor was 7.15/kg (45). In 1992—1993, the total production of synthetic camphor ia India was 3800 t, which is estimated to be about 40% of the world consumption (170). The largest single use (80%) of camphor is for religious purposes ia Asian countries. 

The methanation reaction is currently used to remove the last traces (<1%) of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from hydrogen to prevent poisoning of catalysts employed for subsequent hydrogenation reactions. Processes for conversion of synthesis gas containing large quantities of carbon monoxide (up to 25%) into synthetic natural gas have been investigated to serve plants based on coal-suppHed synthesis gas. 

Whereas near-term appHcation of coal gasification is expected to be in the production of electricity through combined cycle power generation systems, longer term appHcations show considerable potential for producing chemicals from coal using syngas chemistry (45). Products could include ammonia, methanol, synthetic natural gas, and conventional transportation fuels. 

Synthetic Natural Gas. Another potentially very large appHcation of coal gasification is the production of synthetic natural gas (SNG). The syngas produced from coal gasification is shifted to produce a H2-to-CO ratio of approximately 3 to 1. The carbon dioxide produced during shifting is removed, and CO and H2 react to produce methane (CH, or SNG, and water in a methanation reactor. 

Over the years, thousands of compounds have been tried as cracking catalysts. These compounds fall into two general categories natural and synthetic. Natural catalyst, as the name denotes, is a naturally occurring clay that is given relatively mild treating and screening before use. The synthetic catalysts are of more importance because of their widespread use. Of the synthetic catalysts, two main types are amorphous and zeolitic. 

Natural rubber was the only polymer for elastomer production until the advent of synthetics. Natural rubber, however, continues to maintain its competitive edge due mainly to the gain in properties such as high resilience, low hysteresis, low heat buildup, and excellent tack with mechanical properties achieved through the process of vulcanization [114-115]. The industry is said to be self-sufficient with a good technological base and is expected to compete successfully with synthetics because of the edge in properties mentioned above [116,117].

The most common natural antioxidants are tocopherols, ascorbic acid and P-carotene (more often synthetic nature-identical compounds than natural products). Their changes were studied in detail in model systems, fats and oils, but experimental evidence is mainly lacking on more complicated systems, such as natural foods and ready dishes. Still less is known on different antioxidants from spices and from essential oils. These data will probably be obtained gradually. Very little is known about synergism of antioxidants in food products other than edible fats and oils or their regeneration from the respective free radicals and quinones. In mixtures, some antioxidants are preferentially destroyed and others are saved. Some data have already been published, but these complex changes should be studied in more detail. 

This technology uses C02 as a feed gas for the production of carbon products with Etogas methanation plant (Figure 20), which are reactor systems for conversion of H2 and C02 to methane (synthetic natural gas). The produced gas is DVGW- and DIN-compliant synthetic natural gas and can be used directly, e.g., as a fuel for a CNG vehicle. 

The word "polymer" (first proposed by Berzelius in 1833) is made of "poly" from the ancient Greek word "mlvq" meaning "many" and "pepot " meaning "part". Polymers are molecules built up from numerous identical chemical "units" spatially repeated to form a chain. From the early times and still nowadays, a distinction is often made between "natural" and "synthetic" polymers, but it is somewhat artificial as natural polymers can now sometimes be synthesized (e.g., synthetic "natural rubber") and some synthetic polymers, which are never found in nature, can be synthesized by natural ways (enzymatic syntheses). 

As seen in this chapter, the theory and procedures for orientation measurements are well established, including for quantitative characterization. These methods can provide very accurate and useful information in the fields of synthetic, natural, and bio-inspired macromolecules. To this aim, researchers can make use of a wide range of techniques, each having its advantages and limitations. As judged from the recent literature, the studies devoted to the quantification and characterization of molecular orientation still represent a very dynamic research field and advances still continue to emerge. Further progresses in the development of new methods and new techniques to characterize orientational order are thus expected in the future.
