Vital chlorine

It is important to recognize that the intermolecular long-distance bonding with the participation of halogen derivatives represents a specific example of the broad general area of donor/acceptor interactions. Moreover, the complexes of molecular iodine, bromine and chlorine with aromatic donors represent classic examples of charge-transfer compounds [26-28] that are vital for the development of Mulliken theory of intermolecular association [29-31]. The latter thus provides the convenient framework for the... 

To ensure a safe, uninterrupted, and smooth operation of chlorine production plants, it is vital to prevent the formation of explosive gas mixtures. Continuous monitoring of the hydrogen concentration in chlorine gas in several stages of the chlorine production process can help in identifying the formation of such explosive mixtures in an early stage. 

Why is chlorine gas lethal yet sodium chloride is vital for life ... 

But if we accept that plutonium is chemically toxic, then we must also recognize that the extent of its toxicity will depend on how the plutonium is bonded chemically, i.e. in what redox and chemical form it is present. As an example, note how soldiers were poisoned with chlorine gas during the First World War (when it was called Mustard Gas), but chloride in table salt is vital for life. Some plutonium compounds are more toxic than others. 

We show the cost of chlorine in the case of caustic credits from export and domestic business (Figs 1.8 and 1.9). It is one of the many paradoxes in the business that although the plant is built for the chlorine, for most of the time the profit comes from the caustic soda. (Figure 1.10 shows the origin of the chlorine in the derivative trade.) The management of the caustic return is vital to the industry. The cyclicality in the demand for caustic with the supply will continue though the number of players in the business will probably reduce. 

So, at the beginning of the 25-year period here commemorated, alcohols, glycols, aldehydes, and ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters, and ethers—all so vital in their direct uses or as chemical building blocks—were beginning to be produced by synthesis from hydrocarbons provided by the already well-grown petroleum and natural gas industries. Subsequent developments came in rapid succession, with remarkably little in-... 

There is also an apparent trend in manufacturing operations toward simplification by direct processing. Examples of this include the oxidation of ethylene for direct manufacture of ethylene oxide the direct hydration of ethylene to produce ethyl alcohol production of chlorinated derivatives by direct halogenation in place of round-about syntheses and the manufacture of acrolein by olefin oxidation. The evolution of alternate sources, varying process routes, and competing end products has given the United States aliphatic chemical industry much of its vitality and ability to adjust to varying market conditions. 

Porphyrins and corrins form part of the prosthetic groups in a large variety of vitally important natural products. As a result of intense interest in the structure, function and mechanistic details of the biological systems containing porphyrins and chlorins, the whole field has developed in a most remarkable way over the past 50 or more years. There can be few other research areas which possess such a rich, eventful and informative historical literature, and yet continue to produce important and exciting revelations in current journals. 

A drawback to chlorine dioxide is that it is subject to photochemical decomposition, so may require higher dose rates or longer application periods than with chlorine. A further problem is that, because of its high oxidative strength, it can degrade some organic inhibitors, and therefore an awareness of program compatibility is vital. 

Chlorinated arenes are cheap to manufacture and therefore play a vital role as intermediates in chemical industry. However, in contrast to their - much more expensive - brominated and iodinated counterparts chloroarenes are quite unreactive in subsequent reactions. Classical functionalizations of the C-Cl- bond in non-activated arenes usually require harsh conditions and side reactions may produce environmentally hazardous oxygenated chloroarenes. 

Iron serves as a vital component of the chemical architecture of the biosphere. Although carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen dominate the biosphere, iron is present at about 7.7 g m of land mass, but, in biomass, iron ranks only behind the trace elements calcium, potassium, silicon, magnesium, sulfur, aluminium, phosphorus and chlorine (Deevey, 1970). 

Two important commercial yellows, one from phenylenediamine. Pigment Yellow 110 (XXrv), and the other from 2,6-diaminotoluene, Pigment Yellow 109 (XXV), have found use in automotive finishes. Prior to the research at Geigy, the class of isoindolinones had been looked at as potential colorants however, it was the Geigy chemists v/ho discovered that the chlorine substituents are vital to produce pigments with acceptable weatherfastness and insolubility for commercial use as was shov/n earlier to be the case for the thioindigo. Pigment Red 88.
