A catalytic decomposition of carbon feedstock under a controlled environment at high temperature (>900 °C) produces carbon nanotubes. The CVD technique is one of the widely used techniques for the synthesis of both MWNTs and SWNTs. A hydrocarbon feedstock is used as the carbon source that is catalytically decomposed to form reactive carbon vapors. Ethylene and acetylene are used as carbon feedstocks at 550-750 °C in many CVD techniques. There are many different metals that can be used as catalysts to produce...

A recent trend in marketing fresh fruits is to wrap each fruit individually. It should improve the fruit s appearance and minimize abrasion between fruits. However, this would require finding a film with the optimal permeability for air, water vapor, ethylene and carbon dioxide between the fruit and the surrounding atmosphere so as to slow down the fruit s respiration rate, and to maintain the proper relative humidity. If irradiation and a fungicidal agent can be incorporated into the process and packaging, it should further extend the shelf-life of the fruit substantially. 

Both ethylene glycol and propylene glycol are clear, colorless, slightly syrupy liquids at room temperature. Either compound may exist in air in the vapor form, although propylene glycol must be heated or briskly shaken to produce a vapor. Ethylene glycol is odorless but has a sweet taste. Propylene glycol is practically odorless and tasteless. 

Eye contact If liquid or vapor ethylene oxide contacts the eyes, they should be irrigated copiously with water for 15 minutes. An ophthalmic anesthetic drop may be used to decrease eyelid spasm and to facilitate irrigation. If eye irritation persists, the eye should be irrigated for a second 15-minute period, and a physician, preferably an eye specialist, should be consulted. 

Chemical disinfectants that can be used as space decontaminants include formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde vapor, ethylene oxide, peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and methyl bromide. When these are used in closed systems and under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity, excellent disinfection can be obtained. Residues from ethylene oxide must be removed by aeration ethylene oxide is convenient to use, versatile, and noncorrosive, but it is explosive and extremely toxic and, being a carcinogen, is a potential health hazard. Peracetic acid is corrosive for metals and rubber. 

The reactants dissolve and immediately begin to react to form further dichloroethane. The reaction is essentially complete at a point only two-thirds up the rising leg. As the liquid continues to rise, boiling begins, and finally, the vapor-liquid mixture enters the disengagement drum. A very slight excess of ethylene ensures essentially 100 percent conversion of chlorine. 

Liquid- and vapor-phase processes have been described the latter appear to be advantageous. Supported cadmium, zinc, or mercury salts are used as catalysts. In 1963 it was estimated that 85% of U.S. vinyl acetate capacity was based on acetylene, but it has been completely replaced since about 1982 by newer technology using oxidative addition of acetic acid to ethylene (2) (see Vinyl polymers). In western Europe production of vinyl acetate from acetylene stiU remains a significant commercial route. 

Processes rendered obsolete by the propylene ammoxidation process (51) include the ethylene cyanohydrin process (52—54) practiced commercially by American Cyanamid and Union Carbide in the United States and by I. G. Farben in Germany. The process involved the production of ethylene cyanohydrin by the base-cataly2ed addition of HCN to ethylene oxide in the liquid phase at about 60°C. A typical base catalyst used in this step was diethylamine. This was followed by liquid-phase or vapor-phase dehydration of the cyanohydrin. The Hquid-phase dehydration was performed at about 200°C using alkah metal or alkaline earth metal salts of organic acids, primarily formates and magnesium carbonate. Vapor-phase dehydration was accomphshed over alumina at about 250°C. 

Nonreactive additive flame retardants dominate the flexible urethane foam field. However, auto seating appHcations exist, particularly in Europe, for a reactive polyol for flexible foams, Hoechst-Celanese ExoHt 413, a polyol mixture containing 13% P and 19.5% Cl. The patent beHeved to describe it (114) shows a reaction of ethylene oxide and a prereacted product of tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate and polyphosphoric acid. An advantage of the reactive flame retardant is avoidance of windshield fogging, which can be caused by vapors from the more volatile additive flame retardants. 

Sugared cereals are often packaged in aluminum foil or barrier plastic, eg, ethylene vinyl alcohol, laminations to retard water vapor and flavor transmission (see Wheat and other cereal grains). 

Polyester. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) [25038-59-9] (PET) polyester film has intermediate gas- and water- vapor barrier properties, very high tensile and impact strengths, and high temperature resistance (see Polyesters, thermoplastic). AppHcations include use as an outer web in laminations to protect aluminum foil. It is coated with PVDC to function as the flat or sealing web for vacuum/gas flush packaged processed meat, cheese, or fresh pasta. 

Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) forms a soft, tacky film with good water-vapor barrier but very poor gas-barrier properties. It is widely used as a low temperature initiation and broad-range, heat-sealing medium. The film also serves for lamination to other substrates for heat-sealing purposes. 

Thermoform able sheet may be mono- or multilayer with the latter produced by lamination or coextmsion. Multilayers are employed to incorporate high oxygen-barrier materials between stmctural or high water-vapor barrier plastics. Both ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymers and poly(vinyhdene chloride) (less often) are used as high oxygen-barrier interior layers with polystyrene or polypropylene as the stmctural layers, and polyolefin on the exterior for sealing.

Organic fluids also are mixed with water to serve as secondary coolants. The most commonly used fluid is ethylene glycol. Others include propjiene glycol, methanol (qv), ethanol, glycerol (qv), and 2-propanol (see Propyl alcohols, isopropyl alcohol). These solutions must also be inhibited against corrosion. Some of these, particularly methanol, may form flammable vapor concentrations at high temperatures. 

A typical oxidation is conducted at 700°C (113). Methyl radicals generated on the surface are effectively injected into the vapor space before further reaction occurs (114). Under these conditions, methyl radicals are not very reactive with oxygen and tend to dimerize. Ethane and its oxidation product ethylene can be produced in good efficiencies but maximum yield is limited to ca 20%. This limitation is imposed by the susceptibiUty of the intermediates to further oxidation (see Figs. 2 and 3). A conservative estimate of the lower limit of the oxidation rate constant ratio for ethane and ethylene with respect to methane is one, and the ratio for methanol may be at least 20 (115). 

Vinyl ethers are prepared in a solution process at 150—200°C with alkaH metal hydroxide catalysts (32—34), although a vapor-phase process has been reported (35). A wide variety of vinyl ethers are produced commercially. Vinyl acetate has been manufactured from acetic acid and acetylene in a vapor-phase process using zinc acetate catalyst (36,37), but ethylene is the currently preferred raw material. Vinyl derivatives of amines, amides, and mercaptans can be made similarly. A/-Vinyl-2-pyrroHdinone is a commercially important monomer prepared by vinylation of 2-pyrroHdinone using a base catalyst. 

Vinyl acetate (ethenyl acetate) is produced in the vapor-phase reaction at 180—200°C of acetylene and acetic acid over a cadmium, 2inc, or mercury acetate catalyst. However, the palladium-cataly2ed reaction of ethylene and acetic acid has displaced most of the commercial acetylene-based units (see Acetylene-DERIVED chemicals Vinyl polymers). Current production is dependent on the use of low cost by-product acetylene from ethylene plants or from low cost hydrocarbon feeds. 

Reactions of /l-Butane. The most important industrial reactions of / -butane are vapor-phase oxidation to form maleic anhydride (qv), thermal cracking to produce ethylene (qv), Hquid-phase oxidation to produce acetic acid (qv) and oxygenated by-products, and isomerization to form isobutane. 

The materials of constmction of the radiant coil are highly heat-resistant steel alloys, such as Sicromal containing 25% Cr, 20% Ni, and 2% Si. Triethyi phosphate [78-40-0] catalyst is injected into the acetic acid vapor. Ammonia [7664-41-7] is added to the gas mixture leaving the furnace to neutralize the catalyst and thus prevent ketene and water from recombining. The cmde ketene obtained from this process contains water, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, and 7 vol % other gases (mainly carbon monoxide [630-08-0][124-38-9] ethylene /74-< 3 -/7, and methane /74-< 2-<7/). The gas mixture is chilled to less than 100°C to remove water, unconverted acetic acid, and the acetic anhydride formed as a Hquid phase (52,53).
