Utilities inert gases

Because of the multiple conjugated olefinic stmcture in the molecule, pure crystalline carotenoids are very sensitive to light and air and must be stored in sealed containers under vacuum or inert gas to prevent degradation. Thus, commercial utilization as food colorings was initially limited however, stable forms were developed and marketed as emulsions, oil solutions and suspensions, and spray-dried forms. 

Are adequate supplies of utilities and miscellaneous chemicals available for all activities, e.g. absorbents for spillage control Is inert gas immediately available in all locations where it may be required urgently ... 

Ensure the adequaey (in terms of quality, quantity and reliability) of serviees/utilities, e.g. steam, proeess/eooling water, eleetrieity, eompressed air, inert gas, fire suppression systems, ventilation. Stand-by or emergeney serviees may be required. Some general safety design eonsiderations are summarized in Table 12.11. 

Failure of the utilities and ancillary systems occurs when one or more of tlie following is lost electric power, cooling water or otlier heal removal systems, steam or other heat supply systems, fuel, air, inert gas, or effluent disposal facilities. 

A number of synthetic procedures are available (Ai2). (2) For precisely defined stoichiometries, the isobaric, two-bulb method of Herold is preferred H5, H6, H2). (2) To generate compounds suitable for organic synthesis work, graphite and alkali metal may be directly combined, and heated under inert gas (Pl, lA). (5) Electrolysis of fused melts has been reported to be effective iN2). 4) Although alkali metal -amine solutions will react with graphite, solvent molecules co-inter-calate with the alkali metal. Utilization of alkali metal-aromatic radical anion solutions suffers the same problem. 

Some of the procedures described in the following chapters had to be carried out under an inert atmosphere, nitrogen or argon, to minimize contact with oxygen and moisture. It is then necessary to use Schlenk techniques including the utilization of a vacuum line connected to a high vacuum pump and an inert gas inlet. The use of such equipment requires experience in working under anhydrous conditions. 

The satellite buildings contain service areas, laboratories, storage areas, offices, and various utilities (ventilation, electricity, brine, steam, inert gas and water for fire protection). 

The brownish-colored solid is air sensitive and should be handled and stored under inert gas atmospheres. Solutions are very air sensitive with precipitation of colloidal palladium. The 31P NMR (109.3 MHz, D20, 5°C) exhibits a singlet at <522.6 ppm. The IR displays the characteristic SO-vibrations at 1225 (sh, vst), 1200 (vst), 1039 (vst), and 622 (vst) cm-1. The compound has been intensively utilized for carbonylation of benzylic chlorides,26 aryl bromides,27 and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural,28 Heck-reactions,29 allylic substitution reactions,30 and oxidations.16... 

A. Water. Purging with inert gas or pumping on this solvent will rid it of dissolved oxygen. Dissolved salts may be removed by distillation or by utilizing a commercially available deionizing system. 

A. Typical Apparatus. A simple modification which improves the utility of a one-neck still pot or solvent receiver is a sidearm, which can be used for flushing the flask. This simple modification facilitates the initial flush of the apparatus shown in Fig. 1.3. Furthermore, the sidearm provides several alternatives for the removal of solvents from a receiver, such as flushing the flask while solvent is removed through the standard taper joint, or removal of solvent through the sidearm, as illustrated in Fig. 1.4. The sidearm also permits the flask to be maintained under a constant flush of inert gas when it is attached to another piece of apparatus (Fig. 1.5). 

It seems worth mentioning that sulfur disproportionation of elemental sulfur is performed only by the thiosulfate-utilizing species of Chlorobiaceae (see Oil. In the absence of CO and under strictly anaerobic conditions in the light, these organisms form sulfide and thiosulfate simultaneously as long as sulfide is flushed out with an inert gas. The stoichiometry of this reaction is ... 

When direct spotting onto a thin layer plate is used, an automatic spotter is necessary 7). It utilizes six tubes which transfer the eluting solvent in a dropwise manner to the origin. The size of the spot is controlled by the flow of an inert gas from a manifold. Three standards and three unknowns are spotted onto a 20 x 20 cm plate.
