    Notes: Recent and ongoing research in the distillation of nonideal mixtures is reviewed focusing on advances in the methodologies for the synthesis, design, analysis and control of separation sequences involving homogeneous and heterogeneous azeotropic towers. Maps of residue curves and distillation lines are examined, as well as geometric methods for the synthesis and design of separation sequences, trends in the steady-state and dynamic analysis of homogeneous and heterogeneous towers, the nonlinear behavior of these towers, and strategies for their control.Emphasis is placed on the methods of computing all of the azeotropes associated with a multicomponent mixture, on the features that distinguish azeotropic distillations from their zeotropic counterparts, on the potential for steady-state multiplicity, and on the existence of maximum and minimum reflux bounds. Important considerations in the selection of entrainers are examined. For the synthesis of separation trains, when determining the feasible product compositions, the graphical methods are clarified, especially the conditions under which distillation boundaries can be crossed and bounding strategies under finite reflux. The application of geometric theory to locate the fixed points, at minimum reflux, is reviewed in connection with homotopy-continuation algorithms for this purpose. The use of homotopy-continuation algorithms, especially for the steady-state simulation of heterogeneous azeotropic distillations, is justified. Methods for phase stability analysis are reviewed in connection with the location of real bifurcation points at phase transitions, an important feature of algorithms for the dynamic simulation of heterogeneous azeotropic distillations.

    Notes: Discrete-time nonlinear feedback control laws are derived for multivariable nonlinear processes, whose “delay-free” parts are minimum phase. These include mixed error-and state-feedback, error-feedback, and mixed error- and output-feedback laws, which can induce linear input-output closed-loop response. This study is carried out within the framework of the discrete-time globally linearizing control. The broader class of nonlinear processes, in which controlled outputs as well as some other process variables are measured, are also considered. A mixed error- and output-feedback control law is derived for this class of processes. The conditions under which the mixed error- and output-feedback can be applied to a process operating at or around an open-loop unstable equilibrium point are determined. The application and performance of the derived control laws are illustrated by the numerical simulation of a chemical reactor.

    Notes: The long-time behavior of a reaction mixture containing infinitely many species in isothermal continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) is analyzed and contrasted with that in a plug-flow reactor (PFR). The reaction kinetics considered are irreversible first-order, irreversible coupled pseudo first-order, and reversible first-order. Asymptotic lumped kinetics for the mixture as a whole are developed as a function of feed properties and reactor type. Such lumped kinetics in many cases are of the power law form, with the exponent for a CSTR being lower than that for a PFR. Conditions under which non-power-law kinetics arise are given. Due to the wide spread of reactor residence times, the mixture in CSTRs admits a much richer variety of asymptotic possibilities than in the PFR. The results uncover some behavioral differences and relationships between CSTRs and a PFR for converting complex mixtures such as petroleum distillates or coal liquids.

    Notes: A unified network model is formulated for predicting effective Fickian diffusivities of condensable vapors in porous media where capillary condensation and adsorption-desorption hysteresis occur. The model unifies the equilibrium theory based on the poreblocking interpretation of hysteresis in the interconnected network of pores and the percolation model of mass transport in the network with randomly interspersed regions for capillary condensation and surface flow. The Bethe network is used to represent the porous medium, and the effective medium theory is employed to obtain the effective diffusivity. Using the information on the connectivity and the positions of the closure points of the hysteresis loop enclosed by the equilibrium primary adsorption and primary desorption isotherms, the concentration dependence of the effective diffusivity is predicted. The model is applied to the systems water vapor-silica gel, water vapor-activated alumina, and literature data. It successfully predicts the concentration dependence of the effective diffusivity in the whole range of relative pressures for systems both with and without a peak in the diffusivity.

    Notes: A model of simultaneous heat and mass transfer presented describes drying with internal heat generation. Since a liquid expulsion phase is observed, a numerical procedure was developed to account for saturated and unsaturated zones and to model the liquid expulsion. The model was validated by a drainage experiment. An experimental rig was built to conduct microwave drying experiments in well-controlled conditions using capillary porous body (light concrete) as test material. Two types of drying (high and low power) were distinguished, depending on whether or not boiling occurred in the sample. The heat source term in the medium was determined from the experimental results. The numerical results agree with the experimental observations in terms of drying kinetics and transfer mechanisms. This allows a very accurate description of the transport phenomena and the liquid expulsion phase associated with high-power drying.

    Notes: A simple model was developed to describe the absorption of SO2 in a circulating dry scrubbing (CDS) process, which is a semidry, lime-based, flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) process that utilizes a circulating fluidized bed arrangement for contacting a sorbent with SO2-laden flue gas under “coolside” conditions. The reaction chemistry is thought to be similar to that of spray-drying absorption. The liquid-phase mass-transfer coefficient was successfully modeled as a function of the sorbent particle spacing on the wetted surfaces. Gas-phase mass-transfer resistances were assumed to be insignificant. Due to the high surface area available in a CDS reactor, the evaporation rate of water from the slurry was modeled as “constant-rate” drying according to classic spray-dryer theory. However, the “falling-rate” and “diffusion” evaporation stages were negligible in CDS since sorbent particle bunching at the surface of the slurry is nonexistent.

    Notes: The flows generated in vessels stirred by two Rushton impellers were investigated in two vessels of diameter (T) 100 and 294 mm with impellers of diameter D = T/3 using flow visualization, power consumption, mixing time, and 360° ensemble-averaged and 1° angle-resolved LDA measurement techniques. The flows depended strongly on the clearance of the lower impeller above the base of the vessel (C1), the separation between the impellers (C2), and the submergence (C3) of the upper impeller below the top of the liquid column height (H). When these distances were varied, three stable and four unstable flow patterns were observed. Comparisons between the two LDA techniques showed that while the 360° ensemble-averaged measurements are useful for characterizing the overall flow structure and turbulence levels in the vessel, care must be exercised when interpreting such data, since in the impeller region they include periodic variations in the mean velocity in addition to the turbulent fluctuations. The trailing vortex structure and flow periodicity produced by the Rushton impellers is shown to decay significantly within a cylindrical region of height 1.2D and radius 1.0D centered around the middle of the vessel, when C1 = C2 = T/3. The turbulence structure within this region is anisotropic, while outside this region it might be considered mostly isotropic. The main flow features scaled well between the vessels.

    Notes: A computer-aided simulator of steady-state two-phase flow in consolidated porous media is developed. The porous medium is modeled as a 3-D pore network of suitably shaped and randomly sized unit cells of the constricted-tube type. The problem of two-phase flow is solved using the network approach. The wetting phase saturation, the viscosity ratio, the capillary number, and the probability of coalescence between two colliding ganglia are changed systematically, whereas the geometrical and topological characteristics of the porous medium and wettability (dynamic contact angles) are kept constant. In the range of the parameter values investigated, the flow behavior observed is ganglion population dynamics (intrinsically unsteady, but giving a time-averaged steady state). The mean ganglion size and fraction of the nonwetting phase in the form of stranded ganglia are studied as functions of the main dimensionless parameters. Fractional flows and relative permeabilities are determined and correlated with flow phenomena at pore level. Effects of the wetting phase saturation, the viscosity ratio, the capillary number, and the coalescence factor on relative permeabilities are examined.

    Notes: The crystallization of phenanthrene from toluene with carbon dioxide as the antisolvent gas is described. In the GAS process, a pressurized gas is dissolved into a liquid solvent, where it causes a volumetric expansion and lowers the solubility of the solute. Theoretical models are presented for the liquid-phase expansion and the solubility as a function of pressure and temperature. The Nývlt theory for batch crystallization is adapted to predict the pressure profile in the crystallizer needed to maintain a constant supersaturation and growth rate. Generation of seeds is accomplished via a pressure pulse at the saturation pressure. The average particle size of the phenanthrene could be varied from 160 to 540 μm. Creation of seeds doubles the particle size and reduces the coefficient of variation significantly. The residual amount of toluene in the crystals without treatment is approximately 70 ppm. The particles are agglomerates of phenanthrene crystals.

    Notes: The high throughput and operating cost of the reactor provide the economic incentive in considering the on-line optimization of the LDPE tubular reactor. For an on-line optimization procedure it is crucial to develop a flexible and adaptive on-line parameter estimator, which based on the appropriate measurements from the reactor will adjust certain key model parameters so that the model can capture the actual reactor operation and reliably be used for the real-time optimization of the reactor performance. Various issues involved in developing the on-line estimator for such applications as the mathematical modeling of the reactor, the selection of the adjustable model parameters and reactor measurements, the decomposition of the problem according to the characteristic time constants of various disturbances, and the efficient and robust solution of the mathematical problem are discussed. The tools developed were successfully used on an EXXON high-pressure LDPE tubular reactor. Results from the numerical experiments that are compared with scaled data from a real reactor show that the estimated temperature profiles agree remarkably with those observed at various phases of the reactor operation.

    Notes: A previously developed mathematical wetting model is generalized and applied to the following two closely related situations: the spreading of a liquid over a prewet solid surface and the receding contact-line motion with a microscopic residual film, remaining behind the contact line. An analytical expression for the velocity dependence of the dynamic contact angle is derived. Macroscopic characteristics (the dynamic contact angle and drag force) and the flow field corresponding to the spreading of a liquid over a wet solid surface differ considerably from those calculated for a dry surface. Under certain conditions the flow in the reference frame fixed with respect to the contact line has a region with closed streamlines. The region appears due to the flow-induced Marangoni effect, the reverse influence of the surface tension gradient along the liquid-solid interface caused by the flow on the flow, which gives rise to the gradient. The results are compared qualitatively with experimental data.

    Notes: Simulated countercurrent chromatography is a continuous flow method for separation of binary mixtures or for separation of multicomponent mixtures into two fractions. Countercurrent flow is simulated by moving the feed point past several fixed adsorbent beds at a rate between the single column breakthrough time of each component. The number of columns and the location of the inlet and outlet port were varied to investigate product purity and productivity. Concentration profiles of the effluent product streams were measured. The maximum product concentration exceeds the feed concentration during part of the feed-switching cycle and drops to zero during part of the cycle. Three configurations were tested with the total number of columns varying between three and eight. For the test separation chosen, gaseous propylene and dimethyl ether on Chromosorb 101, high purity (〉 99%) product streams were obtained with an optimal four-column configuration using three desorbent streams.

    Notes: The frequency response method measuring the temperature and pressure of an adsorbent sample determines the mass- and heat-transfer kinetics in adsorbents, especially in zeolites. The temperature of the sample (large crystals or monolayers of pellets) is measured by infrared detection. The main aspects of the in-phase and out-of-phase functions as given by an analytical bidispersed model are described. They depend on characteristic times related to kinetic paprameters. Experimental results on adsorption of water on NaX zeolite (crystals or pellets) show that this method allows heat transfer to be very clearly delineated from mass-transfer modes and the separation of different mass-transfer modes. For a bidispersed sample, macro- and microporous mass-transfer parameters may be obtained with the same sample. Results on a contaminated 5A zeolite-propane system show the presence of mass-transfer resistance at the pellet surface. The infrared temperature measurement associated with the frequency response appears to be powerful in determining kinetic adsorption, and gives more information than the pressure measurement.

    Notes: With the growing environmental concern, it is necessary to improve process simulation and develop design tools to account for environmental factors in the synthesis of large-scale chemical processes. A major obstacle in tackling this problem is uncertainties in some of the technical and economic parameters, which lead to uncertainties in design, plant performance, and cost estimates. Further, a conceptual process design involves the identification of an optimal flowsheet structure from many alternatives stituting the “superstructure.” Synthesis and optimization of large-scale processes involving uncertainties often require considerable computational effort. A novel algorithm presented here is based on simulated annealing for the process synthesis of large-scale flowsheets having several configurations and considers uncertainties in the process design systematically. This new “stochastic annealing algorithm,” provides an efficient approach to stochastic synthesis problems by incorporating a penalty term in the objective function and balances the trade-off between accuracy and efficiency based on the annealing temperature. It has been used to study a benchmark synthesis problem in the HDA process. Savings of up to 80% in CPU time has been achieved without significant loss of solution precision with stochastic annealing, compared to simulated annealing with a fixed sample size. It can be applied to analyze efficiently any complex process flowsheet and provide valuable insights into process feasibility based on optimal design, plant performance, and uncertainty issues.

    Notes: Most advanced control applications rely on good dynamic process models. The performance of the control system depends on the accuracy of the model used. Typically, such models are developed by conducting off-line identification experiments on the process. These identification experiments often result in input-output data with small output signal-to-noise ratio, and using these data results in inaccurate model parameter estimates. Prefilters are used to separate useful information from the noise in the input-output data and to improve parameter estimates. A systematic design procedure for selecting a prefilter using discrete wavelet transforms is presented. The design procedure provides explicit information on the compromises in prefilter design, interpreted in terms of parameter variance and bias. The prefilter design procedure is then applied to identify a second-order output error model.

    Notes: The new application of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for characterizing fractures and flow in fractured media is investigated. Specifically, a relaxation-weighted imaging technique is used for selectively highlighting either fracture or porous matrix regions. Many advantages over conventional spin-density MRI techniques for characterizing fractured media are demonstrated. Its use to speed image acquisition is also demonstrated. In addition, a multislice profile imaging technique is used to investigate imbibition and drainage displacement experiments in fractured porous media. These images demonstrate that the fractures can have profound effects on the fluid distributions in multiphase flow.

    Notes: A primary constituent in high-temperature (120-140°C) milk fouling residues is calcium phosphate in the form of calcium phosphate dihydrate (brushite, CaHPO4 · 2H2O) and hydroxyapatite [Ca5(PO4)3OH]. The removal of these mineral-rich deposits from stainless steel occurs by dissolution and mechanical cleaning. This research uses a novel solid scintillation technique to noninvasively and continuously investigate the removal of P32-labeled mixtures of calcium phosphate from inner surface of stainless steel tubes. The proposed mass-transfer model suggests that the film is initialy removed by dissolution, when compared to the experimental results. An alternative first-order model presented includes the effects of the solvent flow rate and solvent pH on decontamination rates. This model agrees with the experimental cleaning data over the range of pH and flow rates studied.

    Notes: The sedimentation velocity of multiparticle suspensions was investigated experimentally for cases where the column wall is likely to have a nonnegligible effect. The experiments demonstrate that the container wall diameter influeces the falling velocity only for dilute systems, which is in contrast with a widely used, established empirical relationship.

    Notes: The formation of a filter cake during mechanical dewatering (filtration and expression) of sludge is studied using one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging of porosity profiles. The experiments clearly showed the formation of a porosity gradient during filtration and the disappearing of this gradient during expression, forming a cake with a uniform porosity. This technique makes it possible to investigate the material behavior of the porous medium, which is needed before any model calculations can be performed. The results indicate that NMR imaging is useful in nondestructive monitoring of the filtration and expression process of sludge.

    Notes: A model that makes it possible to evaluate the secondary nucleation rate in a pilot-scale industrial crystallizer is presented. It relates the secondary nucleation rate directly to the volume rate of attrition of large parent crystals. Two other terms are included in the equality, one that expresses the distribution formed by the attrition fragments, and the other that expresses a survival efficiency accounting for the percentage of attrition fragments that grow out after the attrition step. The model is further tested on a 970-L draft-tube-baffled evaporative crystallizer with ammonium sulfate as the model material used for crystallization and having an on-line crystal size-distribution measuring device.

    Notes: A generalized modeling framework for process synthesis alternatives is proposed, based on fundamental mass/heat-transfer principles. A multipurpose mass/heat-transfer module is introduced as the building block of the framework, whereas basic block-superstructure rules (such as splitting, mixing, and bypassing) are used to develop a systematic representation of process units and process structures, conventional or not. Process synthesis procedures are explored within this modeling framework, where synthesis alternatives are not postulated as process unit networks, but explored simultaneously without predefining synthesis schemes, as combinations of mass/heat-exchange stream matches. The representation potential of this framework is illustrated with examples from unit operations, whereas synthesis example problems are presented to show the broad range of process alternatives that can be modeled, identified, and optimized.

    Notes: The study of spatial structures in heterogeneous reactors is a challenging academic topic, revealing patterns that differ from those known to exist in reaction-diffusion systems exposed to uniform conditions, as well as a practical problem that should affect design and operation procedures of commercial reactors like the catalytic convertor. Experimental observations and mathematical models of spatiotemporal patterns in high-pressure catalytic reactors are reviewed. Patterns in high-pressure reactors, in which thermal effects provide the positive feedback, as well as the long-range communication, usually emerge due to global interaction. Patterns are classified comprehensively by considering reactors of increasing degree of complexity: a wire or ribbon exposed to uniform conditions, a globally coupled catalyst in a mixed reactor or in a control loop, and a fixed bed in which interaction by convection occurs only in one direction. Catalytic wires are not expected to exhibit sustained patterns in the absence of global interaction. Global interactions by external control or gas-phase coupling are shown experimentally and analytically to induce a rich plethora of patterns. Complex motions were simulated to occur due to the interaction of convection, conduction and reaction in a fixed-bed; only a few of these patterns were experimentally observed. Directions for future research are suggested.

    Notes: The synthesis, properties and X-ray single crystal structure analysis of the intramolecularly adduct-stabilised organogallium bisazide (N3)2Ga[(CH2)3NMe2] (1), the mono azide (N3)Ga[(CH2)3NMe2]2 (2) and the trialkylamine adducts of triazidogallium of the type (N3)3Ga(NR3) (3a-d; R = alkyl) are reported. An unusual isomer 1b of compound 1 is described, which was obtained by slow cooling of the analytically pure neat liquid compound 1 to 0 °C. The new and unusual structure 1b can be regarded as a weak associate of dimers linked together by head-to-tail azide bridges. In contrast, compounds 2 and 3a-b (R = CH3, C2H5) are monomeric in the solid state. The suitability of the volatile compounds 1 and 2 as single source precursors to grow GaN thin films by chemical vapour deposition is compared, showing that preferentially oriented crystalline films can be obtained from compound 2 on sapphire substrates at 600-700 °C in vacuo (0.1 Pa). However the films have a grey rather than a transparent appearance, which is presumably due to N-deficiency owing to the lower N-content of the single molecule precursor 2 relative to 1.

    Notes: Epoxidation of olefins by TiIV peroxo and hydroperoxo (alkylperoxo) complexes was investigated using a hybrid DFT method (B3LYP). Reaction energies and activation barriers for direct oxygen transfer to ethylene as a model olefin were computed for various model complexes to compare the epoxidation activity of Ti(η2-O2) and TiOOR (R = H, CH3) moieties. The activity of complexes with a Ti(O2) peroxo group is shown to be essentially quenched when the coordination sphere of the complex is saturated by strongly basic (σ-donor) ligands. In contrast, the activity of a TiOOH functional group depends only weakly on the saturation of the coordination sphere of the Ti center. Substitution of methyl for hydrogen in a TiOOH group is found to slightly increase the activation barrier of epoxidation. The computational results give preference to reaction paths that involve TiOOR species. The factors governing the activity of Ti(O2) and TiOOR groups, in particular the effects of donor ligands, are discussed on the basis of a molecular orbital analysis.

    Notes: The course of the replacement of ethanol by water molecules in the VOPO4·2C2H5OH intercalate, and of water by ethanol in VOPO4·2H2O has been studied by X-ray diffraction and infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Formation of mixed phase VOPO4·C2H5OH·H2O was not observed. The shape of the kinetics curves indicates a transition of at least one reaction zone through the crystal. A delay in formation of the product in comparison with the decrease in the amount of starting material can be explained by the existence of non-diffracting advancing phase boundary. In a VOPO4/ethanol/water system, VOPO4·2C2H5OH is formed as the only product when the system contained more than 96 vol% of ethanol, whereas in the system with less than 94 vol% of ethanol only VOPO4·2H2O is present.

    Notes: The dilithium salts of N-methyl-N′,N′′-bis(diisopropyl)- and -(trimethylsilyl)-diethylenetriamine 1a,b react with SnCl2 affording the corresponding stannylenes 2a,b in 60 and 80% yield, respectively. Compound 1b also reacts with BiCl3 to give the bismuth chloride 5 (90% yield). Derivatives 2b and 5 have a symmetrical bicyclic structure and are monomeric both in solution and in the solid state. When 2b is treated with BiCl3 or PCl3, an oxidation reaction leads to the hypercoordinated tin(IV) dichloride 3 (58% yield), or a transmetallation gives rise to the oniophosphane 4 (95% yield), respectively. Transmetalation reactions also occurred when 5 was treated with AlCl3, GaCl3 or SnCl2 affording the corresponding aluminum chloride 6 (81% yield), gallium chloride 7 (38% yield) or tin dichloride 3 (38% yield). The observed reactivity for 2 and 5 is compared to that reported for Veith's stannylene or bismuth chloride.

    Notes: All three dinuclear complexes [Pd2(donp)2(bpy)2] (1) (H2donp = 1,8-naphthyridin-2,7-dione), [Pd2(H2nonp)2(bpy)2](ClO4)2 (2), and [Pt2(H2nonp)2(bpy)2](PF6)2 (3) (H3nonp = 7-amino-1,8-naphthyridin-2-one) exhibit the μ-1ĸN1:2ĸN8 bridging mode for their head/tail orientated naphthyridine ligands. Whereas 1 and 3 may be prepared by direct reaction of the dinucleating ligand with [MCl2(bpy)], formation of competing tripalladium(II) complexes must be avoided for 2 by employment of the precursor H2acnonp (7-acetamido-1,8-naphthyridin-2-one), which affords [H2nonp]- on cleavage of its original acetyl group. A mixture of the head/tail (4a) and head/head (4b) isomers of [Pd3(Hnonp)2(bpy)3](ClO4)2 is obtained when H3nonp is treated with [PdCl2(bpy)] and LiOH at room temperature for 2 d, followed by precipitation with LiClO4. Contrastingly exclusive formation of 4a is observed upon refluxing this reaction mixture for 3 d in aqueous solution. The [Hnonp]2- ligands exhibit a μ3-1ĸN1:2ĸN8:3ĸN7 bridging mode that leads to short Pd···Pd interactions of 2.781(2) and 2.775(2) Å. Similar metal-metal distances of 2.771(3) and 2.816(3) Å are observed in head/head-[Pt3(acnonp)(Hnonp)(bpy)3]Cl2 (5). An in situ 2e--oxidation (Ag+/Ag) of the [Pt3]6+ core in triplatinum(II) species such as 5 formed by the reaction of [PtCl2(bpy)] with H2acnonp allows the isolation of diamagnetic dark-brown head/head-[Pt3(Hnonp)2(NO3)(bpy)3](ClO4)2(NO3) (6) with an average oxidation state of Pt (2.67+). The Pt-Pt distances of 2.723(2) and 2.670(2) Å are markedly shorter than in 5.

    Notes: New heteroleptic indium compounds have been synthesized starting from indium(III) halides and hexamethyldisilazyllithium to form MeXInN(SiMe3)2 [X = Cl (1), Br (2)], and then subsequent alcoholysis to afford the molecules [ClMeIn(OtBu)]2 (3), [BrMeIn(OtBu)]2 (4), {ClMeIn[O(C6H4)OMe]}2 (5), {[(SiMe3)2N]MeIn(OtBu)}2 (6) and [MeIn(OtBu)2]2 (7). The molecular structures of molecules 3-7 have been obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The structures of the compounds 3-7 are almost identical: 3-5 crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system with two dimeric molecules per unit cell in the space group P21/c, 6 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with four molecules per unit cell, and compound 7 crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system with one dimeric molecule per unit cell in the space group P-1. The central centrosymmetric In2O2 ring, common to all the compounds, is achieved by two bridging oxygen atoms. Due to the additional coordination by an oxygen atom of the methoxy group, the coordination number of the metal center rises from 4 to “4+1” if the OtBu ligand (compounds 3, 4, 6, and 7) is exchanged for a methoxyphenol ligand (compound 5). In addition to the In2O2 ring the compound 5 possesses two annealed five-membered InO2C2 rings. The common indium methyl group of all compounds, which is transfered by an original route from the silicon to the indium atom, is used to compare structural and spectroscopic properties of the molecules, as there is a correlation between the In-C bond length and the chemical shift of the methyl group which depends on the ligand system used.

    Notes: The reaction of perfluoroaryllithium RC6F4Li, where R = F or 4-CF3C6F4O, respectively, with selenium gives the known diselanes (RC6F4Se)2 (1a, 1b). Redox reactions of 1 with hydrogen peroxide result in the formation of the seleninic acids RC6F4SeOOH which crystallize as hydrates (2a, 2b); with mercury give the bis(arylseleno)mercuries (RC6F4Se)2Hg (3a, 3b); with sulfuryl chloride or bromine give the selenenyl chlorides (4a, 4b) or selenenyl bromides (5a, 5b). Selenenyl chlorides (4a, 4b) react with a variety of trimethylsilyl reagents Me3SiX (X = Br, CN, NMe2, NEt2) to form 5a, 5b; selenocyanates RC6F4SeCN (6a, 6b); selenenyl amides RC6F4SeNMe2 (7a, 7b) and RC6F4SeNEt2 (8a, 8b). A new synthetic route to diorgano selanes is developed by reaction of 4a, 4b with perfluoroaryllithium to give the symmetric (RC6F4)2Se (9a, 9b). All derivatives are thoroughly characterized and in addition the molecular structures of 2a, 6a, and 9a are established by X-ray crystallography.

Both the N = 2 and 3 series of compounds display a smectic C (SmC) mesophase, with clearing points well below 100 °C. By treating the H2[LN(m,14)] ligands with an NiII salt, liquid crystalline mononuclear complexes with “unconventional” (lateral-tailed) molecular shape form. These Ni[LN(m,14)] complexes, showing nematic and smectic disordered phases, are stable over a quite large temperature range and have been characterized by different spectroscopic techniques. The newly synthesized mesogens exhibit lower transition temperatures and higher thermal stability than homologous complexes Ni[LN(14)] with a “conventional” rod-like molecular geometry.

    Notes: Oxidation of 4-(1-hydroxy-1-phenylethyl)benzoic acid HPEBA with a water-soluble metalloporphyrin as catalyst and KHSO5 as oxygen atom donor gives the major products, acetophenone AC and acetylbenzoic acid ABA, by a Caliph-CAr bond cleavage, but a minor product, benzoyloxybenzoic acid BOBA, requires the insertion of an oxygen atom to form the ester. This compound becomes the main oxidation product on increasing the amount of acetonitrile in the reaction medium, and its formation is oxygen-dependent. The conversion is drastically lowered by using D2O instead of H2O, suggesting that an alkoxyl radical is formed in the rate-determining step. Labeling experiments using 18O2 or H218O under different reaction conditions show that the carbonyl oxygen atoms of AC and ABA originate either from substrate, water or dioxygen. However, the carbonyl oxygen atom in the ester group of BOBA originates from dioxygen while the other oxygen atom of the ester remains unlabeled. These results can be explained by an O-neophyl rearrangement of the initial alkoxyl radical to afford a carbon-based radical which then reacts with dioxygen or MnIV-OH/water. In a competitive reaction pathway, direct β-scission of the alkoxyl radical leads to unlabeled products. The oxidation of other tertiary diaryl alcohols is also discussed.

    Notes: ESI mass spectrometry and 51V-NMR spectroscopy have been used to study the reactions occurring between bisperoxo vanadates and a number of histidine and histidine-like ligands, in aqueous alcoholic solutions. Coordination of one and two molecules of ligand is observed with all the compounds investigated affording [VO5L]- and [VO52L]-, respectively. Characterization of these species has been achieved by MSn experiments, which have allowed specific fragmentations of the peroxidic moiety to be distinguished. In particular, with [VO52L]-, two distinct modes of decomposition were observed, depending on the presence in the ligand of a free carboxylic function. - Possible biochemical implications related to vanadium haloperoxidase enzymes are discussed.

    Notes: The 1,1,3-tris(diisopropylamino)diphosphirenium salt 1 reacts with lithium aluminium hydride leading to the P-hydrogeno-C-phosphinophosphaalkenes 2, which on treatment with a catalytic amount of BF3·OEt2 afford the 1,3-bis(diisopropylamino)-1H-diphosphirene 3. The corresponding η1-coordinated 1H-diphosphirene 6 can be prepared by treatment of 2 or 3 with one equivalent of [W(CO)5(thf)]. Alternatively, the diphosphirenium salt 1 reacts with an excess of [W(CO)5(thf)], affording the corresponding η1-coordinated diphosphirenium salt complex 4, which is converted into the P-hydrogenophosphaalkene complex 5 with lithium aluminium hydride. The dinuclear tungsten complexes 7 and 8 are obtained by treatment of the free 1H-diphosphirene 3 with two equivalents of [W(CO)5(thf)] or one equivalent of [W(CO)4(thf)2], respectively. Compound 6 reacts with two equivalents of hydrogen chloride, giving the 1-chloro-3-diisopropylamino-1H-diphosphirene 9, which can be subsequently converted into the 1-diisopropylamino-, 1-azido, or 1-phenyl-3-diisopropylamino-1H-diphosphirenes 6, 10 and 11 by nucleophilic substitution with diisopropylamine, azidotrimethylsilane or sodium tetraphenylborate, respectively. The [η2-(3-diisopropylaminodiphosphirenylium salt)·W(CO)5] complexes 12a-c can be prepared by reaction of 9 with silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, aluminium or gallium trichloride or, alternatively, by treatment of 6 with two equivalents of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. Reaction of 12a with diisopropylamine, water, bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium chloride or tetrabutylammonium fluoride gives the corresponding 1H-diphosphirene complexes 6, 13, 9, or 14, respectively. Compound 12a also reacts with one or two equivalents of [W(CO)5(thf)], leading to the di- and tri-nuclear complexes 15and 16, respectively.

    Notes: This new pseudo-homogeneous model describes the absorption rate in the presence of dispersed second liquid phase or solid catalyst particles. In contrast to previous models, it considers the diffusion process and chemical reaction inside the dispersed phase. The absorption rate is defined in the case of first- and zero-order reactions for both continuous and dispersed phases. The concentration of particles from the bulk phase to the gas-liquid boundary layer replaces the initial concentration to the balance equation for the liquid boundary layer at the gas-liquid interface. For mass transport in the bulk phase, steady-state film theory, while in the gas-liquid boundary layer, unsteady-state film-penetration theory is applied. The effect of mass-transfer and reaction kinetic parameters, as well as the particle size on the absorption rate, is described as well as the simulated data verified by previous experimental studies.

    Notes: The shock layer theory permits the derivation of an equation relating the thickness of the shock layer or mixed zone between successive bands in a fully developed isotachic train and the experimental parameters (mobile-phase flow velocity, concentration and retention factor of the displacer, column length, and average particle size of the packing material). It also permits the calculation of the amount of each product contained in this mixed zone. The main assumptions made are the use of the competitive Langmuir isotherm, the identity of axial dispersion coefficients, and the mass-transfer rate constants for different components. These equations make it possible to calculate the production rate and recovery yield achieved with an isotachic train, and to optimize the experimental conditions for maximum production rate. The shock layer thickness increases rapidly and the production rate decreases sharply when α-1 tends toward 0. In agreement with previous experimental results, there are well defined optimum flow velocity and displacer concentrations which vary depending on feed components. This theory permits an easy access to the optimization of these parameters.

    Notes: A prototype hazard identification system, qualitative hazard identifier (QHI), works by exhaustively positing possible faults, automatically building qualitative process models, simulating them, and checking for hazards. QHI matches a library of general faults such as leaks, broken filters, blocked pipes, and controller failures against the physical description of the plant to determine all specific instances of faults that can occur in the plant. Faults may perturb variables in the original design model or may require building a new model. Fault models are automatically generated using the qualitative process compiler and simulated using QSIM. Hazards including overpressure, overtemperature, controller saturation, and explosion are identified in the reactor section of a nitric acid plant using QHI.

    Notes: Gas diffusion through miscible blends of polystyrene (PS) with poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) and poly(styrene-stat-acrylonitrile) (PSAN) with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is studied from temperatures below the corresponding lower critical solution temperature (LCST) to temperatures above. The Arrhenius equation describes the temperature dependence of diffusion coefficients of pure components. Diffusion coefficients of methane in the 20/80 PS/PVME blend also follow the Arrhenius equation in the temperature ranges above and below their corresponding LCST; however, discontinuity is observed in the LCST region. In contrast to the PS/PVME blend, discontinuity in the LCST region is not obvious for nitrogen and methane in the 50/50 PSAN/PMMA blend. These phenomena are discussed in terms of free volume and morphology changes in the LCST region.

    Notes: The activity of the hydrogen ion (H+) is estimated in sulfuric acid aqueous solutions of concentrations 0.25 to 2.0 mol.L-1 at temperatures 298 to 373 K (25 to 100°C). This is done by following an existing “extended Debye-Hückel” equation, which was originally developed only for the case of pure H2SO4 solutions at ambient temperature. The same equation is applied for the evaluation of the activity of H+ in mixed metal sulfate solutions, particularly for the aqueous system H2SO4-ZnSO4-FeSO4-Fe2(SO4)3. The estimation of the activity of H+ by this method requires the knowledge of the molality of free H+ ions and the true ionic strength (in molal scale). Consequently, an algorithm is advanced for the calculation of species concentrations in such mixed solutions. Estimated pH values agree very well with experimentally measured ones.

    Notes: Optical probes are used to study gas-solid fluidized-bed hydrodynamics. The probes each consisting of a light source and photodetector separated by a gap are suitable for use at combustion-level temperatures. The methodology to process the signal for calculation of bubble properties such as bubble frequency, local bubble residence time, bubble velocity, pierced length, bubble size, and visible bubble flow is presented. The signal processing technique is independent of bed operating conditions. The probe signal processing methodology is validated by comparing calculated bubble properties based on the probe signal with properties observed on videotapes of a 2-D bed.

    Notes: Gas-solids circulating fluidized beds have been successfully used in catalytic cracking of heavy oil, coal combustion, and some metallurgical and physical processes (Grace, 1990). Gas-liquid-solids fluidized beds are operated mainly in conventional fluidization regimes without solids circulation or in the transport regime with low solids holdups (less than 5%) (Fan, 1989). A circulating/fast fluidization regime, however, has not been studied. A three-phase circulating fluidized bed has several potential applications in biochemical and chemical processes. Three-phase fluidized-bed bioreactors generally use light and small particles (Berk et al., 1984). Circulating operation can promote solids mixing and increase product throughput per unit bed cross section, while high shear stress can promote biofilm renewal (Pirozzi et al., 1990). In three-phase hydrotreating reactors, solids catalysts lose their activity due to the deposit of metal and coke on the surface. Circulating operation not only regenerates deactivated catalyst continuously using accompanying downcomers but also transfers heat to and from the reactor. This article discusses the flow regimes of the three-phase circulating fluidized bed.

    Notes: In the study of 1-butene isomerization on a silica-alumina catalyst 448-523 K, cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene are detected. Based on BSTR experimental data and zero-time prediction kinetic models using the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism are assumed to develop kinetic equations for which a triangular reaction scheme is used. In four different mechanisms, one and two active sites take part in the surface reaction as the controlling step and then the deactivation rate determined considering two types of experimental data from BSTR and by measuring weight changes of a catalyst particle from coke deposition in an electrobalance. A coke precursor is assumed formed by reaction of adsorbed molecules (of any butene isomer) and gas-phase molecules. Activity- and coke-content-time data allow us to choose a model whose activation energies of the deactivation kinetic parameter are closer in value. Coke is assumed deposited in a monolayer. The model chosen shows a triangular scheme, kinetic equations of the reaction for fresh catalyst with two active sites in the surface reaction, and the deactivation rate according to a coke formation mechanism in which a precursor is formed by reaction of 3 adsorbed molecules and 1 molecule in the gas phase. It accurately fits both BSTR conversion-time data and electrobalance coke-content data. The coke formation mechanism establishes relationships of activity vs. coke content and catalyst acidity which are supported by experimental results.

    Notes: Bubble growth is a phenomenon encountered in several commercially important processes. A mathematical model presented here describes the growth of bubbles during phase separation of an initially homogeneous polymer-supercritical fluid mixture, triggered by a sudden pressure drop at constant temperature. It is a modification of the viscoelastic model of Arefmanesh and Advani (1991) in which the polymer is treated as a single relaxation-time Maxwell fluid. Since properties of the polymer-fluid mixture vary with the amount of fluid absorbed in the polymer (as a function of fluid pressure), the model needs to be used evaluating system properties as functions of temperature and pressure. The viscosity of polymer/fluid mixture, density of the mixture, diffusivity of CO2 in the mixture, and relaxation time for poly (methyl methacrylate) swollen by supercritical carbon dioxide are, therefore, predicted as functions of CO2 pressure and temperature using appropriate model equations at each step of the bubble growth simulation. The model predicts well the trends in equilibrium cell size vs. saturation pressure and temperature.

    Notes: An asymptotic analysis based on Taylor series expansions is used for first-order correction terms to the Henry's law approximation to describe solvation phenomena in multiple solute-multiple solvent systems. The magnitude of these correction terms in solvent systems very near their critical points is of particular concern, as shown in model fluid calculations with the aid of integral equation theory. The results clearly demonstrate that close proximity to the critical point in pure and mixed solvent systems causes the Henry's law approximation to show large errors in predicting solubilities, especially near the critical azeotrope of a mixed solvent system. Theoretical results also show that cross solubility enhancements in a two solutesupercritical solvent system cause cooperative synergism (both solute solubilities are increased relative to the corresponding single solute situations) or reverse synergism (both depressed relative to the single solute situation). It appears to be consistent with the available data. In computer simulations, the solute's infinitely dilute reference state is often used as a basis for describing solute thermodynamic behavior. These simulations are best achieved in the canonical ensemble because of the weak composition dependence of free energies in terms of characteristic variables of this ensemble.

    Notes: A novel separation process, phase transition extraction, proposed in this article uses solvents that have a critical point of miscibility with the feed liquid to be extracted. Alternate heating and cooling across the coexistence curve leads alternatively to a homogeneous phase or two separate phases. The formation of a homogeneous phase in the mixing stage eliminates the need for intense agitation. Coalescence on cooling in the settling stage is rapid in the presence of impurities that in conventional extraction lead to emulsions. A fermentation broth is extracted without a centrifuge with improved recovery of the antibiotic extracted. The process may have a significant advantage for cases in which extraction is difficult either due to formation of stable emulsions and dispersions or shear sensitivity.

    Notes: A novel approach using a 2-D population balance model is developed and applied to the analysis of experimental tracer crystal data. This approach is effective in discriminating among various functional forms of agglomeration kernel and enables estimation of the agglomeration kinetics. At present, the analysis is restricted to three simple agglomeration kernels and shows that the size-independent kernel best describes the agglomeration of Al(OH)3 crystals during precipitation in caustic aluminate solutions. This agrees with the findings of Ilievski and White (1994). Estimates of the agglomeration kinetic parameters from the tracer data agree well with the experimentally observed values.

    Notes: Analytical support for recent numerical work in process simulation in the complex domain is discussed. In particular, the observation that nondegenerate singular points are saddle points of the two-norm on the complex domain is proved rigorously and its numerical implications are discussed. The isothermal isobaric flash problem admits only real-valued two-phase solutions, provided that the feed conditions are real. Both single- and multivariable chemical process examples illustrate the theoretical results.

    Notes: A model for the dynamics of a single-stage suspension crystallizer is developed, which serves as a basis for process analysis and the design of controllers. A population balance for the dynamics of the crystal size distribution (CSD) with mass and heat balances is described, as well as empirical relations for the separation efficiency of classified particle removal systems, the initial CSD, and the crystallization kinetics. A continuous pilot crystallizer is used that is equipped with a separator and dissolver for fine crystals and a CSD sensor based on forward light scattering. The process and sensor are modeled separately. The sensor model is based on Fraunhofer light scattering theory assuming rectangular-shaped particles. CSD dynamics data are obtained from startup experiments with the pilot plant at different process conditions. Experimental process data show a strong effect of fines and the slurry retention time on the CSD dynamics. A nonlinear parameter estimation procedure determines the empirical parameters directly from raw sensor data. The model fits accurately to the measured data. Evidence is found for the existence of a population of slow growing crystals with a growth rate approximately ten times lower than the fast growing crystals. A strong correlation is found between the total surface area of crystals with a size larger than 600 μm and the nucleation rate.

    Notes: The reactive ion etching kinetics of InP studied uses BCl3/Ar and BCl3/Ar/O2 as etchants. High-temperature etching using BCl3 and Ar increases the etch rate negligibly. However, the addition of 30% oxygen in the gas feed increases etch rates by a factor of 10,000 up to 1.5 micron/min at wafer temperatures of 250°C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis reveals that oxygen removes the boron species adsorbing on the InP surface by scavenging the boron to form volatile boron oxides. To study the gas-phase chemistry, optical emission spectroscopy is used to monitor atomic chlorine intensity at different gas mixtures. The chlorine intensity shows a Gaussian-type dependence with oxygen addition, which is similar to the etch rate dependence. Two regimes of etching found are: at temperatures below 150°C, the etching is limited by the removal of indium chlorides; above 180°C, the etching is reaction-limited. The surface morphology shows that the etch profile becomes rougher as a result of increased chemical etching. At high power densities (0.21 W/cm2) and intermediate temperatures (150°C), near vertical wall shapes are obtained. A kinetic model for the high-temperature etching is developed, as well as a rate law based on the InCl formation reaction. The rate law compares favorably with experimental etch rate results.

    Notes: Calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) is an effective dual SO2-NOx emission control agent. Laboratory-scale experiments with dry injected particles at a Ca/S molar ratio of 2 [or (Ca + Mg)/S ratio of 6] resulted in SO2 and NOx removal efficiencies of over 90% at gas temperatures of 950 - 1,250°C in atmospheres containing 12% CO2, 3% oxygen, 2,000 ppm SO2, and 1,000 ppm NOx during a 1-s residence time in an isothermal cavity followed by injection of after-fire air. During the experiments, SO2 reacted with the porous, thin-walled CaO, CaCO3 and MgO cenospheres, formed when CMA calcined, while NOx was reduced by hydrocarbon radicals from the organic acetate decomposition. While Ca was the dominant contributor to SO2 reduction by CMA in the isothermal furnace zone, Mg also contributed to SO2 reduction. At gas temperatures ≤ 950°C, Mg reacted directly with SO2 in the isothermal furnace zone and was the dominant SO2 remover in the post-furnace quenching zone while indirectly SO2 at higher isothermal zone temperatures by precluding pore-mouth plugging when CaSO4 formed. Interactions among hydrocarbons, SO2, and NOx are important but not fully understood.

    Notes: Use of saturation-dependent relative mobilities leads to linear flow; however, experiment and theory show that, in the limit of very large viscosity ratio, the flow is not linear but fractal. Generally, fractional flows and relative mobilities depend on both saturation and time. Use of a standard pore-level model of 2-D flow in the limit of infinite capillary number shows that this flow is fractal for large viscosity ratios (M = 10,000) and the sauration and fractional flows agree with the results of our general arguments. For realistic viscosities (M = 3 → 300), our modeling of the unstable flow shows that, although the flows are initially fractal, they become linear on a time scale, τ increasing as τ = τ0M0.17. Once linear, the saturation front advances as x ≈ v0M0.068 t; the factor M0.068 acts as a 2-D Koval factor.

    Notes: A rigorous analysis confirmed by experimental results is presented for attenuated total reflectance, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy applied to the study of small molecule diffusion in polymers. FTIR-ATR Fickian diffusion models are derived for a constant surface concentration and for an adjacent mass-transfer boundary layer. An FTIR-ATR Case II transport model demonstrates the ability to discriminate between transport modes. New experimental results for the acetone-polypropylene, methanol-polystyrene and methanol-poly(methyl methacrylate) systems are consistent with gravimetric sorption and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. An important result is the detection of multiple hydroxyl peaks for methanol during diffusion, indicating different hydrogen bonding states and the calculation of separate diffusion coefficients for each state in polystyrene.

    Notes: Cascades of crystallizers are applied in many industrial processes. The optimization of the filterability of crystals produced in such a cascade is dealt with, since a good filterability is often one of the main product specifications. An integral model description of the crystallization process is developed that allows for the prediction of the crystal size distribution and the filterability in each stage of the cascade, and experiments are performed to support this model. The integral model can be used as a predictive tool in future filterability optimization studies.

    Notes: To predict the effect of pore structure on the performance of heterogeneous catalysts, a realistic model of the catalyst particle is required. Lattice-based models in which the diffusion and reaction phenomena are restricted to sites and bonds within a regular or irregular lattice are widely used. However, for the realistic simulation of diffusion and reaction in amorphous catalyst supports, such as alumina or silica, a continuum model, which does not artificially restrict the domain in which the reactants are allowed to diffuse, is required.An efficient method based on a “first passage time” approach is developed for the simulation of diffusion and reaction in a supported catalyst. The model catalyst is composed of spheres representing the support and active sites. By varying the algorithm used to generate the model catalyst, a range of structures can be created. The effect of the structure, and the size and distribution of active sites on the reaction rate is studied.

    Notes: A dynamic interfacial tensiometer described measures the tension of stressed liquid-liquid interfaces. In this accurate and controlled method, the time-dependent pressure difference across the curved interface of a spherical drop, immersed in a second immiscible phase, is measured as a function of time. Dynamic experiments are conducted by varying the drop size, therby stressing the interface. The technique is eminently suited for the measurement of static and dynamic interfacial tensions, the study of the diffusion, adsorption, and desorption kinetics of surfactants, and the rheological behavior of liquid films. These capabilities are demonstrated for n-dodecane contacted with an aqueous solution of a nonionic surfactant. To explain the phenomena, diffusion models are developed that compare well with the experimental data. The noninvasiveness and versatility make this instrument a useful tool.

    Notes: Theories and experimental measurements related to the diffusion of globular macromolecules and small spheres in polymer solutions are discussed. It is shown that the Kirkwood-Riseman point scatterer and Brinkman models, two theoretical approaches that lead to hydrodynamic screening, are equivalent. Holographic interferometry is presented as a new method for measuring gradient diffusion of proteins in transparent polymer solutions and gels. This method is used to examine the effect of ionic strength, polymer concentration and polymer molecular weight on the diffusion of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in dextran solutions. The data are interpreted in light of the hydrodynamic screening and Stokes-Einstein models of diffusion. In particular, it is shown that while the Stokes-Einstein equation may be appropriate for the diffusion of relatively large latex spheres in polymer solutions, it is inappropriate for predicting diffusion coefficients of BSA and comparable proteins in such solutions.

    Notes: The formation of aggregates, rather than correctly folded polypeptide chains, is a pressing problem in biotechnology that has been difficult to approach quantitatively. The competition between folding and aggregation has been carefully analyzed for bovine growth hormone (bGH) and can be attributed to incorrect helix-helix docking for this four-helix bundle protein. An extended molecular thermodynamic model reported here represents Gibbs energy changes associated with intramolecular and intermolecular helix-helix dockings occurring during protein folding and protein aggregation. The model incorporates (1) a semiempirical local composition Gibbs energy expression to account for the helix-helix hydrophobic interactions, which favor helix-helix docking and aggregation and (2) a Flory-Huggins-type Gibbs energy expression to describe the configurational entropy of the polypeptide backbone conformation, which favors disaggregation. For the folding and aggregation of bGH, the molecular thermodynamic model provides estimates for the Gibbs energies and thermodynamic stabilities of various conformations of bGH and qualitatively accounts for the competition between aggregation and productive folding. It also successfully describes the inhibition of aggregation found with peptides corresponding to bGH helical sequences and the effect of site-directed mutagenesis.

    Notes: A numerical model is presented to evaluate the dynamic behavior of mas transfer in the shell-and-tube-type membrane modules for metal ion removal from aqueous streams. The analysis that considers the effects of axial-flow velocity on the radial pressure difference across the membrane wall permits the specifications of this operating parameter to avoid expression of impregnated carrier from the membranes adn to prevent membrane wall rupture. The model accounts for effects of boundary layer mass-transfer and kinetic rate resistances at the interfces on membrane flux. The performance of different size membrane modules was estimated for two operating modes of a shell-and-tube-type module: one for the flow of feed solution inside the membrane tube and strip solution flow in the annular region and the other for the flow of strip solution inside the membrane tube and feed solution flow in the annular region of the module. A case system evaluated is copper ion extraction from acidic solutions using 2-hydroxy-5-nonylacetophenone oxime impregnated in α-alumina/silica ceramic membranes. The performance of shell-and-tube-type membrane modules depends on the sizes and operating methods. In these calculations, the operation condition of no-pressure difference across the membrane was imposed on the design. This condition is achieved by adjusting the ratio of the flow velocities of the feed and strip solutions within the inside and annular regions of the modules.

    Notes: The ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) can introduce serious errors in the calculation of multicomponent gas adsorption equilibria from the corresponding pure gas adsorption isotherms when the adsorbate sizes and the degree of adsorbent heterogeneity for adsorption of the components differ substantially. The multisite Langmuir and heterogeneous Langmuir models were used to evaluate the extent of these errors. It is shown that large diferences in adsorbate sizes and degrees of heterogeneity of adsorption of the components of a mixture can cause the formation of an adsorption azeotrope that cannot be described by IAST.

    Notes: The spreading of Newtonian liquid drops after impact with a solid surface is reproted for a range of liquid and surface proeprties, drop diameters, and impact velocities. Results for liquid viscosities up to 300 mPa.s are given. For a given drop diameter and velocity, a range of liquid viscosities result in splashing even for smooth surfaces. The maximum spread radius, made dimensionless with the drop radius, is correlated as Rmax* = 0.61(Re2Oh)0.166, where Re and Oh are the Reynolds and Ohnesorge numbers. respectively. A model is proposed to account for inertial, viscous, and surface tension forces on the maximum spread radius. Good agreement is found between the model and experimental data from several sources.

    Notes: As the use of hydrocyclones for liquid-liquid separation becomes increasingly common, the need for a satisfactory method to assess their efficiency increases. Curerntly available efficiency theories were developed for liquid-solid separations, based on the velocity distributions inside a hydrocyclone. These theories, however, appear less suitable for emulsions where the dispersed phase is slightly lighter than the continuous phase, such as oil/water emulsions. An efficiency computation based on the analysis of the trajectories of the droplets is presented. Trajectories are characterized through a differential equation combining models for the three bulk velocity distributions (axial, radial, and tangential) and the settling velocity defined by Stokes' law. From the critical trajectory and given operating conditions, a characteristic droplet diameter d100 can be deduced that corresponds to the smallest droplet with a 100% efficiency. Other efficiencies are obtained by changing the initial condition for the trajectory equation. The efficiency result of different hydrocyclone configurations are compared with experimental results, and residual emulsion distributions are estimated.

    Notes: The first quantitative, reproducible experimental results are presented for the compressive wave generated in a gas by a rapid rise in the temperature of a bounding solid surface. When a resistive-capacitive electrical circuit rapidly heats a thin foil constituting one end of a closed polyacetal cylindrical tube to a high temperature, the amplitude of the initial traveling peak in pressure is proportional to the maximum rise in temperature of the heated surface and depends critically on the heating rate. This amplitude is twice as high for argon as for helium, and is intermediate and essentially the same for nitrogen and air. For all conditions, the wave celerity is slightly greater than the adiabatic acoustic velocity. The waves have a very sharp front and a long region of decay, which is contradictory to the sinusoidal waves postulated by Rayleigh and the nearly symmetrical ones predicted by all prior numerical solutions as well as by the asymptotic solution of Trilling. Such compressive waves and their reflections increase the transient heating rate of a confined gas, may produce unsuspected and unwanted disturbances in otherwise static systems, and offer a possible means of remote detection of excursions in the temperature of a surface.

    Notes: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to measure the time evolution of the volume fraction vs. height profile during batch sedimentation of rod-like particle suspensions. At any instant during sedimentation, MRI clearly delineates the supernatant, suspension, and sediment regions. The rod-like particles with a mean aspect ratio of 17.4 exhibit considerably larger hindered settling effects than spherical particles with increasing particle concentrations. This can be attributed in part to the larger increase in interparticle forces and relative viscosities with suspensions of rod-like particles than with suspensions of spherical particles, as the particle concentration increases. The relative viscosity of the rod-like particle suspensions is a function of the spin-spin relaxation time, T2. Since T2 is a measurable MRI quantity, this suggests that MRI may be used as an instrument for rheological measurement.

    Notes: An algorithm is developed for simulating particle deposition from liquid suspensions flowing through granular media, specifically the prediction of the extent of deposition and the change of media permeability on a local basis. The formulation is based on the premise that granular media may be considered as an assembly of collectors represented by a dual-configuration - either spherical or capillaric  -  to be applied for deposition and permeability reduction considerations. Comparisons with experiments indicate that the simulation algorithm can indeed be used as a predictive tool for estimating the transport and distribution of particulate matter in granular media.

    Notes: A neural network method for reducing data dimensionality based on the concept of input training, in which each input pattern is not fixed but adjusted along with internal network parameters to reproduce its corresponding output pattern, is presented. With input adjustment, a property configured network can be trained to reproduce a given data set with minimum distortion; the trained network inputs provide reduced data.A three-layer network with input training can perform all functions of a flue-layer autoassociative network, essentially capturing nonlinear correlations among data. In addition, simultaneous training of a network and its inputs is shown to be significantly more efficient in reducing data dimensionality than training an autoassociative network The concept of input training is closely related to principal component analysis (PCA) and the principal curve method, which is a nonlinear extension of PCA.

    Notes: Continuous kinetics of thermal degradation of poly (styrene-allyl alcohol) (PSA) in solution are explored theoretically and experimentally. Thermal degradation experiments for PSA of number-average molecular weight 1,640 in t-butanol solution were conducted in a steady-state flow reactor at 6.8 MPa and 403-473 K. The molecular-weight distributions (MWDs) of the original polymer and its reaction products were measured as a function of residence time by gel permeation chromatography The MWD of the initial PSA is described by a gamma distribution function. Experimental data indicated that the polymer cracks to specific, low-molecular-weight (MW) products and degrades by random chain scission. Results are interpreted by a mathematical model based on the continuous kinetics for specific and random degradation processes. Rate coefficients are determined separately from the dynamic data of the MW moments for the specific products and the MWDs for the reacting polymer. Activation energies obtained are 5.9 - 7.4 kcal/mol for specific degradation processes and 35 kcal/mol for the random degradation process. The detailed MWDs are related to conventional lumped (numberaverage molecular-weight) data.

    Notes: A new approach is presented for calculation of activity coefficients in aqueous electrolyte solutions. This approach requires only standard thermodynamic properties for the pure components and for the solutes at infinite dilution. No adjustable mixture parameters are necessary. This new procedure has been applied to calculate: (1) the solubility of salts and the activity of water in binary aqueous solutions; (2) the temperature dependence of the solubility of salts; (3) the azeotropic composition of a system containing a volatile electrolyte, (H2—HNO3); (4) the solubility of carbon dioxide in water at elevated pressures and at different temperatures.

    Notes: Entrainment and deposition in gas-liquid annular upflow are known to account for as much as 20% of the pressure gradient, through droplet acclelerations in the core refion. Momentum is transerred from the core when droplets decelerate upon impactwith the liquid film. It is usually assumed that all of this momentum is transferred to the film, essentially driving the film upwardin conjunction with interfacial friction. New data, abtained for annular gas-liquid upflow in a 5.08-cm-ID tube, are used in a momentum balance analysis to determine the mechanismof momentum transfer from depositing droplets. Measurements include the liquid film thickness, wall shear stress, pressure gradient, entrained liquid fraction, droplet deposition rate, droplet centerline axial velocity, and mass-average drop size for two gas-liquid systems. This analysis supports the idea that large droplets displace the film locally and decelerate primarily at the wall, effectively transferring negligible momentum to the liquid film.

    Notes: Sufficient conditions are developed in this work for robust stability and pefformance of nonlinear model-predictive control systems that use an end-condition and second-order Volterra model with parametric uncertainty in the time domain. The robust stabilfly conditions involve the lengths of the prediction and control horizons, as well as the coefficients of the control move suppression terms in the on-line objective function. These conditions may be used for both analysis and synthesis purposes. A case study of a chemical reactor is presented to elucidate these issues.

    Notes: The catalytic total oxidation of toluene and tetrahydronaphthalene (tetralin) in super-critical carbon dioxide over a 0.5% platinum γ -alumina catalyst was studied in a fixed-bed reactor. Toluene oxidation experiments were performed at 618, 633, 648 and 663 K, and at 7.93, 9.31 and 10.7 MPa. Tetralin oxidation experiments were performed at 573, 598, 623 and 648 K and at 8.96and 10.0 MPa Inlet concentrations of toluene and tetralin were varied in the ranges 569 to 2,858 ppm (mass/mass) and 1,420 to 3,648 ppm, respectively. Reactions were run at excess oxygen with a 25:1 molar ratio of oxygen to toluene and a 15:1 molar ratio of oxygen to tetralin. A stepwise mechanism was postulated for the oxidation reaction to describe the kinetics of toluence and tetralin oxidation in supercritical carbon dioxide, and the reaction orders and activation energies were determined.

    Notes: A molecular-thermodynamic model is developed for salt-induced protein precipitation, which considers an aqueous solution of globular protein molecules as a pseudo-one-component system containing macroions that interact through Coulombic repulsion, dispersion attraction and hydrophobic interactions, and forces arising from ion-excluded volume. Forces from ion-excluded volume take into account formation of ion pairs and ionic clusters at high salt concentrations; they are calculated in the context of the Percus-Yevick integral-equation theory. Hydrophobic interactions between exposed nonpolar amino-acid residues on the surfaces of the protein molecules are modeled as short-range, attractive interactions between “spherical caps” on the surfaces of the protein polyions. An equation of state is derived using perturbation theory. From this equation of state we calculate liquid - liquid equilibria: equilibrium between an aqueous phase dilute in protein and another aqueous phase rich in protein, which represents “precipitated” protein. In the equation of state, center-to-center, spherically symmetric macroion-macroion interactions are described by the random-phase approximation, while the orientation-dependent short-range hydrophobic interaction is incorporated through the perturbation theory of associating fluids. The results suggest that either ion-excluded-volume or hydrophobic-bonding effects can precipitate proteins in aqueous solutions with high salt concentrations.

    Notes: In roll coating as in other coating processes the coating liquid often suffers changes in properties on the time of the coating flow, that is, from fractions of a second upward depending on the amount of recirculation and recycling. The agents of change may be chemical reaction, colloidal aggregation, or evaporation. Hence the mean residence time and the residence time distribution of the liquid are important to designers and operators of coating processes. Here, building on the examination of roll-coating systems by Benjamin et al. (1995), the residence times of liquid coated by representative arrays of multiple rolls in the “forward roll” mode and relatively starved feed condition (neglecting the possibly significant effects of “rolling banks” and other internal recirculations when they are present) are analyzed. The dynamic response of these transfer coaters to step changes in the feed gap and to periodic gap changes, as from roll and bearing run-out, are also analyzed. No reports of operating or laboratory experiments are available for comparison. Nevertheless the results make plain how these quality-limiting features may depend don the number of rolls used; their sizes, speed, and arrangement, and the properties of the coating liquid.

    Notes: A mean-field model is developed that superimposes the fluid-solid potential on a fluid equation of state to predict adsorption on a flat wall from vapor, liquid, and supercritical phases. A van der Waals-type equation of state is used to represent the fluid phase, and is simplified with a local density approximation for calculating the configurational energy of the inhomogeneous fluid. The simplified local density approximation makes the model tractable for routine calculations over wide pressure ranges. The model is capable of prediction of Type II and III subcritical isotherms for adsorption on a flat wall, and shows the characteristic cusplike behavior and crossovers seen experimentally near the fluid critical point.

    Notes: Recent studies have demonstrated that spatial heterogeneities in voidage and pore size, over lengthscales of 0.1-1 mm, significantly affect the transport of liquids within a given porous medium. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is used to probe the structure of porous catalyst support pellets, and four image analysis techniques characterize the degree and nature of heterogeneities observed in the spin-lattice relaxation-time images of six pellets taken from the same batch. Power-spectrum, cluster-size, and percolation analysis reveal significant differences in spatial correlations and topological characteristics of the six images. The fractal dimension of all the images, however, is the same suggesting that this quantity characterizes the intrinsic heterogeneities associated with the particular batch of porous pellets studied in this work. The results suggest that structural models of such pellets should account for these macroscopic variations in pellet structure, as characterized here.

    Notes: An analysis of EoS/GE models, which are based on matching the EoS-derived expression for the excess Gibbs free energy GE with that from a GE model at zero pressure, is presented, with the focus on the most successful and widely used of these models, MHV2 and PSRK. It shows why zero-reference-pressure models do not reproduce exactly the GE models at zero pressure and the ensuing implications on the prediction of asymmetric systems. The development of EoS/GE models that reproduce exactly the GE model is discussed. However, such reproducibility at zero pressure is impossible for systems containing components with reduced temperatures higher than about 0.9. Therefore, extrapolation schemes that allow treatment of such systems are examined.

    Notes: Partial specific volumes at 25°C are reported for α-chymotrypsinogen in aqueous solutions containing NaCl, citrate, and/or polyethylene gycol (PEG) over a range of protein concentrations. The concentration dependence of the partial specific volume can be either positive or negative, depending on the solvent. For example, the partial specific volume increases with increasing protein concentration in NaCl/citrate solutions at high salt concentrations, and decreases with increasing protein concentration in solutions containing PEG. Kirkwood-Buff solution theory has been applied to interpret these results, and it was found that the concentration dependence is determined by two factors: (1) the effective or solvent-averaged interactions between protein molecules in solution, and (2) three-body protein - protein - solvent and protein - solvent - solvent interactions. An approach is proposed for the experimental determination of both contributions that involves measuring osmotic pressures and volumetric properties of dilute to concentrated protein solutions.

    Notes: Salting-out phase equilibria are reported for lysozyme and α-chymotrypsin from concentrated ammonium-sulfate solutions. Supernatant and dense-phase protein concentrations and the resulting protein partition coefficients are given as a function of solution pH and ionic strength. Phase equilibria with a trivalent salt (sodium citrate) confirm that ionic strength, rather than salt concentration, is the appropriate variable describing phase equilibria. The salting-out behavior of a mixture of an aqueous lysozyme and α-chymotrypsin is independent of the presence of the other protein.Parameters for a molecular-thermodynamic description of salting-out behavior are obtained from low-angle laser-light scattering (LALLS). Osmotic second virial coefficients from LALLS are reported over a range of pH for dilute chymotrypsin concentrations in aqueous electrolyte solutions at 0.01 and 1.0 M ionic strengths. Effective Hamaker constants, regressed from experimental osmotic second virial coefficients, are determined for models of the protein - protein potential of mean force. In addition to excluded volume, dispersion, and shielded charge - charge potentials, the description of protein - protein interactions includes attractive charge - dipole and dipole - dipole potentials as well as an osmotic-attraction potential that becomes important at high salt concentrations. Protein dipole - dipole potentials are required to account for the observed pH dependence of osmotic second virial coefficients, especially at low ionic strength.
