Technological aspects

Only those aspects of nitric acid and HCN manufacture related to converter design and operation will be considered here. While the design of acid absorption and heat recovery sections certainly depends on the type of converter employed, these aspects have been well dealt with elsewhere. There are two main groups of problems, namely, those affected by heat and mass transfer and those concerned with changes in the state of the catalyst. 

The design of converters for both processes is essentially similar. The short contact times demand wide, shallow beds of gauzes and the principal problems are mechanical support of the gauzes and uniformity of gas distribution to the bed. Conventionally, the gauzes are arranged as a horizontal disc supported by inconel or nichrome bars (which are inactive for ammonia decomposition). 

Gases are preheated, mixed, and fed downwards to the bed by a conical diffuser and baffle to assist uniform flow across the whole bed. Despite these precautions, localized hot spots form on the gauzes. Such hot spots vary in intensity and position and this phenomenon is termed flickering . 

There are also some technological factors that influence the quality of the polymer. The design of the reactors, the flow of the molten polymer and the way of heating the systems are decisive for quality and performance [28], Valves, tube turns, in- and out-take flanges, mixing elements and welding seams are often 

Thermal-oxidative degradation is an additional reason for yam breaks commonly observed during polymer processing as a consequence of leaks in the equipment. Frequent testing of tightness is therefore an important part of production

The occurrence of fluorescence is often related to inappropriate processing conditions in molten-state and solid-state polycondensation (SSP) (presence of oxygen, high temperature, long retention time, etc.), as well as the later drying of chips where prolonged residence times can occur. 

Hydrolytic degradation of polymers is still the main reason for the occurrence of faults in processing. This form of degradation commonly causes a reduction of the IV, associated with a deterioration in the mechanical properties, particularly the tensile strength. Therefore, it is important to ensure sufficient drying of the raw materials. Drying is a crucial prerequisite of any polyester processing 

To design a production process to obtain alkaloids from plant cell cultures with a promising productivity on a laboratory scale, detailed knowledge of the kinetics of growth and product formation of the cell culture is essential. In order to obtain a quantitative description of the behavior of the cell culture as a function of the external conditions, this knowledge is embedded in a mathematical model. On the basis of the model a process design can be made after which the economic feasibility of the process can be assessed. 

After implementation of the process the model is subsequently used in process control and optimization. The number of publications dealing with quantitative research on the kinetics of growth and product formation of cultured plant cells has been very limited. For the scarce kinetic research that has been reported batch cultures were used, which were mostly grown

Although several types of models have been explored in the description of biological systems, the unstructured black box continuum models based on a linear equation for substrate consumption are still most frequently used for the description of fermentation processes. In these models the growth rate of the cells generally is assumed to be a function of the external concentration of the growth-limiting substrate Cs according to Monod kinetics

That set of modules includes alongside the traditional procedures related to product control, quality assurance procedures for conformity assessment. The intervention of a third party in these procedures comprises an initial audit of the manufacturer s quality system which must include both the specific technological aspects of the products concerned and the methodology of the quality assurance procedures. Furthermore the manufacturers are subject to periodic audits to ensure that the systems are maintained. Finally, on the occasion of unexpected visits, the notified body can carry out tests on the products.

The research in this area has a great potential from scientific and technological aspects and requires further exploration. However, the reported attempts are a welcoming endeavor to hydrogenate nitrile rubber in latex form. 

In contrast with the above situation, the polymerization of 2-furfurylidene methyl ketone, di-2-fiirfurylidene ketone and their homologues has been the subject of a large volume of (mainly technical) publications because of the useful applications of the final cross-linked products. As pointed out in the introduction, this review does not deal with the technological aspects of furan resins and in this section only the mechanistic aspects of the first phase of these polymerizations will be discussed.

As has been shown above photorotective effects are most expressed in long-chain Ca-AR and C12-AR. However, some technological aspects are determined by low C12-AR solubilization in water, demanded its preliminary dissolution in ethanol that gave additional difficulties for AR addition into different media for electrophoresis. For this reason, in the current paragraph of the study Ce-AR was used, photoprotective effects of wich were compared with Ci-AR, C3-AR and C5-AR.

This contribution is an in-depth review of chemical and technological aspects of the alkylation of isobutane with lightalkenes, focused on the mechanisms operative with both liquid and solid acid catalysts. The differences in importance of the individual mechanistic steps are discussed in terms of the physical-chemical properties of specific catalysts. The impact of important process parameters on alkylation performance is deduced from the mechanism. The established industrial processes based on the application of liquid acids and recent process developments involving solid acid catalysts are described briefly. 2004 Elsevier Inc.
