  • Numerical Simulation of a Two-Phase Flow for the Acrylonitrile Electrolytic Adiponitrile Process in a Vertical/Horizontal Electrolysis Cell
    energies Article Numerical Simulation of a Two-Phase Flow for the Acrylonitrile Electrolytic Adiponitrile Process in a Vertical/Horizontal Electrolysis Cell Jiin-Yuh Jang * and Yu-Feng Gan Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Cheng-Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +886-6-2088573 Received: 7 September 2018; Accepted: 6 October 2018; Published: 12 October 2018 Abstract: This paper investigated the effect of oxygen holdup on the current density distribution over the electrode of a vertical/horizontal electrolysis cell with a two-dimensional Eulerian–Eulerian two-phase flow model in the acrylonitrile (AN) electrolytic adiponitrile (ADN) process. The physical models consisted of a vertical/horizontal electrolysis cell 10 mm wide and 600 mm long. The electrical potential difference between the anode and cathode was fixed at 5 V, which corresponded to a uniform current density j = 0.4 A/cm2 without any bubbles released from the electrodes. The effects of different inlet electrolyte velocities (vin = 0.4, 0.6, 1.0 and 1.5 m/s) on the void fraction and the current density distributions were discussed in detail. It is shown that, for a given applied voltage, as the electrolyte velocity is increased, the gas diffusion layer thickness decreased and this resulted in the decrease of the gas void fraction and increase of the corresponding current density; for a given velocity, the current density for a vertical cell was higher than that for a horizontal cell. Furthermore, assuming the release of uniform mass flux for the oxygen results in overestimation of the total gas accumulation mass flow rate by 2.8% and 5.8% and it will also result in underestimation of the current density by 0.3% and 2.4% for a vertical cell and a horizontal cell, respectively.

  • Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils
    Retention Indices for Frequently Reported Compounds of Plant Essential Oils V. I. Babushok,a) P. J. Linstrom, and I. G. Zenkevichb) National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, USA (Received 1 August 2011; accepted 27 September 2011; published online 29 November 2011) Gas chromatographic retention indices were evaluated for 505 frequently reported plant essential oil components using a large retention index database. Retention data are presented for three types of commonly used stationary phases: dimethyl silicone (nonpolar), dimethyl sili- cone with 5% phenyl groups (slightly polar), and polyethylene glycol (polar) stationary phases. The evaluations are based on the treatment of multiple measurements with the number of data records ranging from about 5 to 800 per compound. Data analysis was limited to temperature programmed conditions. The data reported include the average and median values of retention index with standard deviations and confidence intervals.

Published 2011 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2 ANALYSIS OF CHEMICAL WARFARE DEGRADATION PRODUCTS 1.1 ORGANOPHOSPHORUS NERVE AGENTS Organophosphorus (OP) type compounds, that is, deriva- tives containing the P=O moiety, were first discovered in the 1800s when researchers were investigating useful applica- tions for insecticides/rodenticides. There are many derivatives of organophosphorus compounds, however, the OP deriva- tives that are typically known as ‘nerve agents’ were discov- ered accidentally in Germany in 1936 by a research team led by Dr. Gerhard Schrader at IG Farben [1–4]. Schrader had noticed the effects and lethality of these organophosphorus compounds towards insects and began developing a new class of insecticides. While working towards the goal of an improved insecticide, Schrader experimented with numerous phosphorus-containing compounds, leading to the discovery of the first nerve agent, Tabun (or GA) (Figure 1.1). The potency of these insecticides towards humans was not realized until there was yet another accident, which involved a Tabun spill. Schrader and coworkers began experiencing symptoms, such as miosis (constriction of the pupils of the eyes), dizziness and severe shortness of breath, with numerous effects lasting several weeks [1, 4, 5].
