Volume inorganic

The properties of trans-Fe(CO)3(PR3)2 have been described in previous volumes Inorganic Syntheses.3 The physical properties are listed in the following table ... 

Inorganic N is taken up by microbes and marine plants in a variety of forms and uptake is facilitated through a variety of transporters (see Chapter 7 by Mulholland and Lomas, this volume). Inorganic N compounds must first be reduced to ammonium prior to their assimilation into organic compounds and these reduction steps are enzymatically mediated and are described here.

Six of the 15 largest volume inorganic chemicals produced in the U.S. in 1995 directly or indirectly form part of all the various chemical fertilizer formulations produced (Table 1.4). Such is the importance and significance of the fertilizer market in terms of the overall volume of activity of the chemical process industries. 

As might be expected, some of the high-volume inorganics (e.g., chlorine and sodium hydroxide) have the lowest prices, and low-volume chemicals like the drug tetracycline hydrate and the rare earth chemical europium in oil, have the high prices of 0.90 and 71.50 per gram, respectively. 

Vesicles can be used to entrap water-soluble compounds, which cannot pass the membrane within the inner water volume. Inorganic salts or organic polyelectrolytes are typical examples. Protic acids pass fluid membranes within a minute or so, and membranes containing 50% of cholesterol stabilize a pH gradient of two units for about 30 minutes. Hydrophobic compounds are dissolved within the membrane. Rigid or polar, poorly water-soluble compounds are mostly localized on the outer or inner surfaces of vesicles (Fig. 2.5.10). 

Additional production data for select high-volume inorganic and organic chemicals from other countries in 2011 are available in Chem. Eng. News, 2012, 90(21), 59.
