Technique examples

The major dasses of antibiotics are secondary metabolic products of micro-organisms. Many were discovered by empirically screening culture filtrates or cell extracts for antimicrobial activity. A range of techniques (examples are methods using, impregnated discs, porous cylinders, cut wells, see Figure 6.2) have been used to carry out such screening. 

The second main type of equilibrium problem asks for values of equilibrium concentrations. We also use concentration tables for this type of problem, with one additional feature. In such problems, we need to assign a variable x to one unknown concentration, and then we use the equilibrium constant to find the value of x by standard algebraic techniques. Examples 16-11 and 16-12 illustrate this use and manipulation of unknowns.

The structure of this review is as follows. Section II focuses on the basic principles of MRI techniques, and then more advanced techniques which have been used to study catalytic reactors will be introduced in Section III. To illustrate the use of these techniques examples will be given from the field of catalysis, although not necessarily at the scale of the reactor and, in some cases, data for model systems will be shown. Section IV describes methods used to achieve chemical mapping. Section V focuses exclusively on previous research which has used MRI techniques to spatially resolve chemical composition in fixed-bed reactors. 

Alternative lower cost fabrication methods to sintering and electrochemical vapor deposition (EVD) are receiving more attention. These methods include plasma spraying and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Many development projects are being conducted in fabrication techniques. Examples of some of the work follow. 

The chemistry function is produced by the prepolymer technique. Examples will follow in later chapters. The prepolymer is mixed with a reactant (polyol and/or water) and immediately pressed into a reticulated foam using a nip roller arrangement as shown in Figure 2.16. 

We begin with the most routine characterization methods—electrochemical methods. We then discuss various instrumental methods of analysis. Such instrumental methods can be divided into two groups ex situ methods and in situ methods. In situ means that the film on the electrode surface can be analyzed while the film is emersed in an electrolyte solution and while electrochemical reactions are occurring on/in the film. Ex situ means that the film-coated electrode must be removed from the electrolyte solution before the analysis. This is because most ex situ methods are ultra-high-vacuum techniques. Examples include x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy [37], secondary-ion mass spectrometry [38,39], and scanning or transmission electron microscopies [40]. Because ex situ methods are now part of the classical electrochemical literature, we review only in situ methods here. 

Key trends for novel, environmentally more benign, processes are (i) replacement of stoichiometric processes by catalytic ones, (ii) process steps with 100% conversion and 100% selectivity (iii) the highest possible substrate concentration (iv) environmentally acceptable solvents with few solvent changes (v) avoidance of buffers and salt production, but instead use of solid acids and bases and pH-stat techniques. Examples of novel processes included in the discussion are ... 

The purpose of this section is to show, by example, how the concerns of technique selection, potential problems, data acquisition and analysis have been applied for several different corrosion problems and techniques. Examples of fundamental research work and industrial problem solving have been included to show the range of applicability of the techniques. In most cases, more than one technique was used to solve the problem. Frequently, a surface analysis technique was used in combination with one or more other types of analysis method. These examples are not comprehensive it is hoped that sufficient references have been supplied to enable the reader to find other work of relevant interest.

The chapter by Coe and Storer reviews the current state of library generation using solution-based techniques. Examples are given where these techniques are being used to prepare both mixtures and single compounds for use in both lead discovery and optimization. Possibly the most valuable use of these solution techniques is for the rapid optimization of existing leads. 

Examples of particle sizing using photon correlation spectroscopy are presented to demonstrate the straight forward uses and difficulties with the technique. Examples include NBS SRM 1691, a crosslinked polystyrene-divinylbenzene, a fractionated sample of polyvinylchloride, "dusty" samples of reference latex, a bimodal mixture of reference latices, a bimodal mixture of rubber particles, and a 2 1 aggregate. 

Thermodynamic software packages may be used to find equilibrium compositions at prescribed temperatures and pressures. Such calculations require knowledge of feed components and products and their thermodynamic properties and are based on Gibbs free energy minimization techniques. Examples of thermodynamic packages may be found in Smith and Missen (Chemical Reaction Equilibrium Analysis Theory and Algorithms, Wiley, 1982) and in Walas (Phase Equilibria in Chemical Engineering, Butterworths, 1985). 

A promising alternative is surface textured doped zinc oxide films. ZnO films can offer excellent transparency and are highly resistant to hydrogen plasmas [78]. Textured ZnO films have been prepared by several deposition techniques. Examples are boron doped zinc oxide (ZnO B) prepared by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) ([79,80], see also Chap. 6) or ZnO films deposited by expanding thermal plasma CVD [81], Quite recently, ZnO films for back contacts of solar modules have been developed using chemical bath deposition [82].

A direct application is the study and optimization of catalyst pretreatment. In industrial practice, catalysts are frequently pretreated using a temperature-programmed technique. Examples are reduction in the fat hardening catalysis and sulphiding in the hydrotreatment of oil fractions in the refinery. 

In the examples given above, a screw maintains the contact pressure between conductor and clamp via a moveable metallic part. A more recent development of terminal blocks shows a clamping spring to maintain an adequate permanent contact pressure between conductor and clamp ( cage clamp technique ). Examples for multiple contact terminals in this technique are given in Figs 6.47 and 6.48.
