Water improvement

Bromination of fatty acids in the a-position can be effected quite readily in the presence of phosphorus trichloride, red phosphorus or pyridine as catalysts or halogen carriers with acetic acid, the addition of acetic anhydride (to ensure the absence of water) improves the yield and facilitates the bromination. Examples are —... 

FeCl3 6H20 turned out to be the catalyst of choice for this reaction, since the presence of water improved the yield. However, high yields of the desired ketones were obtained for electron-rich alkynes with anhydrous FeCla at room temperature. Alcohols that are sensitive to acid-catalyzed dehydration were also tolerated under the present conditions (R = Me or Et). Based upon experimental observations a mechanism for this reaction was proposed (Scheme 14).

Figure 8 depicts how the three popular equation-of-state methods cited previously perform on pure steam. From a theoretical viewpoint, none of the methods has the foundation to handle mixtures of polar/non-polar components. Although the agreement with experimental data is not very satisfactory for any of the methods, the Lee-Kesler equation-of-state does best. It was also found that by slightly adjusting the acentric factor of water, improvement in the representation of the enthalpy of steam can be obtained by this method at 598 K, the conditions of the experimental mixture data, and at other temperatures as well. 

It has been observed quite long ago, that small amounts of water improved the selectivity of the phenylation of 1-methyl-l-vinyloxirane (Scheme 6.27) [61]. Both the relative amount of the rearranged product and the E/Z ratio were increased in aqueous DMF. 

Traditionally, solid acidic catalysts are applied in industry for the oligomerization of butenes and are still studied. MTS-type aluminosilicates,522 a NiCsNaY zeolite,523 and a silica-alumina containing 13% alumina524 proved to be active and selective catalysts. Moreover, deactivation rates of these catalysts are also favorable. Sulfated zirconia promoted with Fe and Mn was active and selective to yield primarily dimethylbutene isomers under supercritical conditions.525 A small amount of water improved productivity and decreased deactivation. A study showed that the blending octane number of Cg hydrocarbons is directly linked to the number of allylic hydrogens in the molecules.526... 

Formation of free milk fat in DWM powder particles as a result of atomization and drying may also contribute significantly to poor solubility and dispersibility. Free milk fat, which is extractable from the powder by a 50 50 mixture (v/v) of ethyl and petroleum ether (Brunner, 1974), probably coats the powder particles and prevents their rehydration. The physical state of the milk fat, as controlled by the liquid-to-solid ratio and the presence of free milk fat on the particle surface, strongly influences DWM particle dispersibility. Spray coating of DWM particles with lecithin or other surfactants and dispersion in warm water improve their dispersibility. 

In recent years use of the oxide as a constituent of cement has been advocated,1 especially in Sweden. Thus, a mixture of Portland cement (60 to 70 per cent.) and white arsenic (40 to 30 per cent.) heated to 200° to 250° C. affords a hydraulic cement of normal setting time and of less solubility than ordinary cement, so that lime liberation is inhibited and the resistance to water improved. Wooden structures exposed to the action of sea water may be protected by spraying with a concrete composed of white arsenic, cement and sand in the proportions 1 3 12. The arsenic makes the mixture elastic and helps the cement to adhere to the wood. There is, however, danger in the too widespread application of arsenic in the directions described above. 

From 0.1 to 8% water in the first solvent aids this extraction. More water improves the efficiency of the solvent but decreases its selectivity— i.e., the solubility of many impurities is increased considerably, but so is the solubility of sugar. Thus, the water reduces the yield of refined sugar but increases its purity.

The use of 2M to 4M H2SO4 instead of water improves the performance of this part of the reflux system (31). An optical cell 4 with a photoelectric relay was used for automatic control of the flow of SO2 (39, 43) by opening a solenoid valve to increase the flow of SO2 when the brown colored reaction zone descended to the optical cell. The NO produced by the above reactions, along with that present in the liquid phase as N2O3, passed into the exchange column B through a jacketed section at —12° to — 16°C. which condensed and returned most of the unreacted NO2 to the reactor.
