The SM1-SM3 methods model solvation in water with various degrees of sophistication. The SM4 method models solvation in alkane solvents. The SM5 method is generalized to model any solvent. The SM5.42R method is designed to work with HF, DFT or hybrid HF/DFT calculations, as well as with AMI or PM3. SM5.42R is implemented using a SCRF algorithm as described below. A description of the differences between these methods can be found in the manual accompanying the AMSOL program and in the reviews listed at the end of this chapter. Available Hamiltonians and solvents are summarized in Table 24.1. 

It must be emphasized that we are not dealing with an equilibrium between two isomeric carbocations There is only one carbocation Its structure is not adequately represented by either of the individual resonance forms but is a hybrid having qualities of both of them The carbocation has more of the character of A than B because resonance struc ture A IS more stable than B Water attacks faster at the tertiary carbon because it bears a greater share of the positive charge... 

Automobile battery grids employ about 1—3 wt % antimony—lead alloys. Hybrid batteries use low (1.6—2.5 wt %) alloys for the positive grids and nonantimony alloys for the negative grids to give reduced or no water loss. The posts and straps of virtually all lead—acid batteries are made of alloys containing about 3 wt % antimony. 

Activated tertiary amines such as triethanolamine (TEA) and methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) have gained wide acceptance for CO2 removal. These materials require very low regeneration energy because of weak CO2 amine adduct formation, and do not form carbamates or other corrosive compounds (53). Hybrid CO2 removal systems, such as MDEA —sulfolane—water and DIPA—sulfolane—water, where DIPA is diisopropylamine, are aqueous alkaline solutions in a nonaqueous solvent, and are normally used in tandem with other systems for residual clean-up. Extensive data on the solubiUty of acid gases in amine solutions are available (55,56). 

RO is also used to produce ultrapure water for many laboratory uses (90) as weU as in the medical and pharmaceutical industries (91). As for the electronics industry, purity is achieved using a combination of processes. A typical hybrid process for the production of ultrapure water is shown in Figure 11. The order in which the various steps take place may vary from case to case.

The triaLkoxy(aryloxy)boranes are typically monomeric, soluble in most organic solvents, and dissolve in water with hydrolysis to form boric acid and the corresponding alcohol and phenol. Although the rate of hydrolysis is usually very fast, it is dependent on the bulk of the alkyl or aryl substituent groups bonded to the boron atom. Secondary and tertiary alkyl esters are generally more stable than the primary alkyl esters. The boron atom in these compounds is in a trigonal coplanar state with bond hybridization. A vacantp orbital exists along the threefold axis perpendicular to the BO plane. 

An interesting and novel use of a soHd desiccant, the reduction of cold condensate corrosion in automotive exhaust systems, illustrates a hybrid closed—open system. Internal corrosion occurs in mufflers when the water vapor in the exhaust condenses after the engine is turned off and the muffler cools. Carbon dioxide dissolves in the condensate to form an acidic soup. In an essentially closed static drying step, an acid- and heat-resistant desiccant located in the muffler adsorbs water vapor from the exhaust gas as it cools to prevent formation of corrosive acidic condensate. When the engine is restarted, the system becomes open, and the desiccant is regenerated by the hot exhaust gas to be ready for the next cooldown step (19). 

Trends in ED appear to be reduction in pumping and direct ED energy, increase in electric current density, and the use of EDR and hybrid processes in plants in which the manufacturer of the demineralisation plant owns and operates the plant, selling water to the user or water distributor.
