Butenes Separation, Supp. A
PROCESS ECONOMICS PROGRAM SRI INTERNATIONAL Menlo Park, California 94025 Abstract Process Economics Program Report No. 71A BUTTLENES (October 1982) Demand is fast increasing for lsobutylene, especially that used in manufacturing methyl tertiary-butyl ether, and for high purity butene-1 to use as a copolymer in linear low density polyethylene. Because of their wide availability, mixed butane-butylene streams from oleflns plants and petroleum refineries are being increasingly fed to plants to separate butylenes for use in chemicals. This first supplement to Report No. 71 updates demand projections, production capacities, and separation techniques for high purity butene-1 and lsobutylene. The processes that are now available for separating and purifying both butene-1 and lsobutylene from mixed butyl- ene streams are evaluated and compared. Other procedures for obtaining butylenes, such as dehydrogenatlon, lsomerleatlon, and disproportion&ion, are not updated in this report. PEP’81 JLC Report No. 71A - BUTYLENES SUPPLEMENT A by JOHN L.

Technical Notes
Technical notes New tools to manage common taint problems Wine producers can proactively manage potential taint issues through a new set of tools available from the AWRI Analytical Service. In recent years, several taint problems have occurred in Australia resulting in serious financial consequences for the wine producers involved. The AWRI provides assistance in resolving these issues and we continue to develop services that enable winemakers and suppliers to proactively reduce the risk of wine contamination. The implementation of preventative measures and controls can minimise the development of taints. A broad suite of analytical services tailored for QC testing for the presence of taints in winemaking additives, closures and oak products as well as taint assessment of juices and wines is available through the Analytical Service. Recently, we have also developed a new sensory training tool to help winemakers recognise the most common taints. Minimising risk Early identification of the potential sources of contamination is critical. Testing of additives and juices/wines at critical control points proactively detects and eliminates any taints before they develop into a problem. Just like taking out insurance it comes with a small price tag compared to the risk of losing large volumes of wines due to serious taint problems. Also, in today’s highly competitive market, the purchase of just one slightly tainted bottle of wine can be enough to influence a consumer to seek an alternative brand or label. So, it is crucial to have the ability to monitor and prevent taint and, if necessary, treat wines to prevent further tainting. Analytical services to prevent and control taint problems This article provides detailed information on three examples of commercial taint services developed by the AWRI Analytical Service in collaboration with staff at the AWRI and our stakeholders. -

IN THIS CHAPTER, we begin our systematic study of organic reactions and their mecha- nisms. Reaction mechanisms are step-by-step descriptions of how reactions proceed and are one of the most important unifying concepts in organic chemistry. We use the reactions of alkenes as the vehicle to introduce this concept. 129 130 CHAPTER 5 Reactions of Alkenes and Alkynes 5.1 What Are the Characteristic Reactions of Alkenes? The most characteristic reaction of alkenes is addition to the carbon–carbon double bond in such a way that the pi bond is broken and, in its place, sigma bonds are formed to two new atoms or groups of atoms. Several examples of reactions at the carbon–carbon double bond are shown in Table 5.1, along with the descriptive name(s) associated with each. -

The acid-base and redox properties of VAlON depend on their nitrogen content, as well as on the V/Al ratio of the reactive precursor. The influence of these parameters over the catalytic properties of VAlON for 1-butanol dehydration/dehydrogenation was studied. For the studied samples, the only detected products were 1-butene, butane and butanal. The presence of butane as a major product could be explained by a hydrogen transfer mechanism.

Thermal decomposition experiments were done using a 1 mm × 3 cm pulsed silicon carbide microtubular Δ → reactor, C4H4S+ Products. Unlike previous studies these experiments were able to identify the initial thiophene decomposition products. Thiophene was entrained in either Ar, Ne, or He carrier gas, passed through a heated (300−1700 K) SiC microtubular reactor (roughly ≤100 μs residence time), and exited into a vacuum chamber. The resultant molecular beam was probed by photoionization mass spec- troscopy and IR spectroscopy. The pyrolysis mechanisms of thiophene were also investigated with the CBS-QB3 method using UB3LYP/6-311++G(2d,p) optimized geometries. In particular, these electronic structure methods were used to explore pathways for the formation of elemental sulfur as well as for fi the formation of H2S and 1,3-butadiyne. Thiophene was found to undergo unimolecular decomposition by ve pathways: C4H4S → − − (1) S C CH2 + HCCH, (2) CS + HCCCH3, (3) HCS + HCCCH2, (4) H2S + HCC CCH, and (5) S + HCC CH fi CH2. The experimental and theoretical ndings are in excellent agreement. -
