Due to the nature of batch operations, transferring and charging of process materials is a common activity. This can entail gas, liquids, and/or solids handling via open equipment. This may include pumping of liquids from drums or dumping of solids from other containers into an open vessel, shoveling material into a dryer, or making temporary connections such as at hose stations. 

Synthesis of p-chlorophenyldimethylethoxysilane. A 2-liter three-necked round-bottomed flask equipped with a pressure-equalized dropping funnel and a thermometer was flushed with argon and charged with 287 g (1.5 moles) of p-bromochlorobenzene dissolved in 600 ml anhydrous diethylether. The flask was chilled to — 10°C and the solution was stirred with a magnetic stir bar. 400 ml of chilled 2.5 M butyllithium in ether (1 mole) was transferred into the dropping funnel. Drops of butyllithium were added over a period of 3 h, allowing a...
