It has been a great pleasure to work and develop as a person under his supervision. I must also thank Prof. Gregory J. McRae because without his support I would have not started an international carrier. I would also like to thank him for letting me participate in nearly one year of great experiences at MIT and introducing me to Prof. Hungerbiihler. I thank Dr. Ulrich Fischer for the time he spent helping me, not only with the writing of my thesis but solving many bureaucratical issues as well.

  • Hydrogen Cyanide - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Hydrogen cyanide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_cyanide Hydrogen cyanide From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hydrogen cyanide (with the historical common Hydrogen cyanide name of Prussic acid) is a chemical compound with chemical formula HCN. Hydrogen cyanide is a colorless, extremely poisonous liquid that boils slightly above room temperature at 26 °C (79 °F). IUPAC name Hydrogen cyanide is a linear molecule, with a triple bond between carbon and nitrogen. A minor formonitrile tautomer of HCN is HNC, hydrogen isocyanide. Other names hydrogen cyanide; methanenitrile; hydrocyanic acid; Hydrogen cyanide is weakly acidic with a pK of prussic acid; Zyklon B a Identifiers 9.2. It partly ionizes in water solution to give the CAS number 74-90-8 – cyanide anion, CN . A solution of hydrogen PubChem 768 cyanide in water is called hydrocyanic acid. The EC number 200-821-6 salts of hydrogen cyanide are known as cyanides.

    Multi-level Analysis and Optimization for Resource-Efficient High Temperature Gas Phase Processes Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktoringenieur (Dr.-Ing.) von M.Sc. Georg Liesche geboren am 17. Februar 1989 in Göppingen genehmigt durch die Fakultät für Verfahrens- und Systemtechnik der Otto-von- Guericke-Universität Magdeburg Promotionskommission: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Eckehard Specht (Vorsitz) Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kai Sundmacher (Gutachter) Prof. Anthony Dixon, PhD (Gutachter) Prof. Dr.-Ing. Viktor Scherer (Gutachter) eingereicht am: 21. Juni 2019 Promotionskolloquium am: 06. Dezember 2019 Abstract The targets of the Paris agreement for the mitigation of climate change require a drastic reduction of the per capita resource consumption in particular in the developed countries. New lifestyles, products and production processes are key measures in this context but the reduction of resource consumption cannot be achieved without a significant increase in resource productivity across all industrial sectors including the chemical industry. This increase in resource efficiency is achievable only through the analysis and optimization ofeach lengthscale: the screening of promising process units at a high hierarchical level and targeted measures for the improvement of the mass and energy efficiency at smaller lengthscales and lower hierarchical levels. At the same time, overall gains in efficiency through non-intuitive combinations of different process units are enabled at the plant level. It is evident, that systemic, multi-level approaches are required that take all these aspects into account in order to exploit the full process intensification potential. This dissertation addresses this multi-level problem at the reactor and plant levels for the example of high temperature catalytic gas phase processes.
