    PI 24.21-2 Chemistry - PI 24 CHEMICAL ADDITIVES AND BLOWDOWN In Module 21-1, we discussed the sources and effects of various impurities which may be present in the secondary sys­ tem. Recall that the major problems centered on: deposition. corrosion. erosion. In order to minimize these effects chemical additives may be injected into the system. "What chemicals are added to the secondary system, where, and why?" (If you want to take a quick look at a se­ condary system schematic, see Module 70-0). Morpholine Morpholine is a volatile organic chemical which is in­ je pholine is a pH controller and is injected, in a modern sta­ tion, automatically and continually as required on a signal from a pH monitor. Hydrazine Hydrazine is injected just after· the deaerator. It is an oxygen scavenger and is used to pick up any oxygen which passes the deaerator. June 1982 - 1 _ PI 24.21-2 Secondarily, hydrazine helps raise the feed system pH to optimum level. Both morphol ine and hydraz ine are volatile 1 iquids and do not contribute to system solids. Furthermore, they travel with the steam and help protect the steam system. Cyclohexylamine For those plants where only ferrous components are pre­ sent (eg, Bruce B and Darlington), the use of cyclohexylamine which is a slightly stronger base than morpholine may be ad­ vantageous to achieve the higher pH required at a lower in­ jection rate. Cyclohexylamine would be injected at the Con­ densate Extraction Pump discharge just the same as morpho­ line. Note that cyclohexylamine is also a volatile organic liquid.

Received: 29 August 2020; Accepted: 23 September 2020; Published: 25 September 2020 Abstract: Monoterpenes, comprising hydrocarbons, are the largest class of plant secondary metabolites and are commonly found in essential oils. Monoterpenes and their derivatives are key ingredients in the design and production of new biologically active compounds. This review focuses on selected aliphatic, monocyclic, and bicyclic monoterpenes like geraniol, thymol, myrtenal, pinene, camphor, borneol, and their modified structures. The compounds in question play a pivotal role in biological and medical applications. The review also discusses anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticonvulsant, analgesic, antiviral, anticancer, antituberculosis, and antioxidant biological activities exhibited by monoterpenes and their derivatives. Particular attention is paid to the link between biological activity and the effect of structural modification of monoterpenes and monoterpenoids, as well as the introduction of various functionalized moieties into the molecules in question. Keywords: geraniol; thymol; myrtenal; pinene; camphor; borneol; biological activity; antiviral activity; analgesic activity; anti-inflammatory activity 1. Introduction Plants have been used for medical purposes for centuries. As such, they have been studied scientifically and traded commercially. Monoterpenes belong to a large and diverse group of naturally occurring compounds.

JAYANTHI1, M. SIVARAJU2, AND K. KANNAN3* 1Department of Chemistry, Queen Mary's College, Chennai 600004, Tamilnadu, India [email protected] 2Department of Chemistry, Muthayammal Technical Campus, Rasipuram 637408, Tamilnadu, India [email protected] *Department of Chemistry, Government College of Engineering, Salem 636 011, India [email protected] Received 11 October 2011; Accepted 25 December 2011 Abstract: The inhibition effect of morpholine on the corrosion of mild steel in 2N sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid has been studied by mass loss and polarization techniques between 302K and 333K.The inhibition efficiency increased with increase in concentration. The corrosion rate increased with increase in temperature and decreased with increase in concentration of inhibitor compared to blank. The adsorption of inhibitor on the mild steel surface has been found to obey Temkin’s adsorption isotherm. Potentiostatic polarization results reveal that morpholine act as mixed type inhibitor. The values of activation energy (Ea), free energy of adsorption (ΔGads), enthalpy of adsorption (ΔH), and entropy of adsorption (ΔS) were also calculated. Keywords: Mild Steel; Sulphuric acid; phosphoric acid; Corrosion inhibition; Temkin’s adsorption isotherm; Potentiostatic polarization; Morpholine. Introduction Phosphoric acid is a major chemical product, which has many important uses, especially in the production of fertilizers. Most of the acid is produced from phosphate rock by wet process. Generally nickel–base alloys and stainless steel are frequently used in many parts of the wet process and a considerable quantity of data has been published about the resistance of these materials to corrosion by phosphoric acid solution 1-4.

What is it? Why do we do it? • Well and surface water naturally contains calcium and magnesium - referred to as hardness as well as other iron and manganese that are removed in softening. Examples: Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Ba, Al • These ions adversely impact water and process systems by leading to scaling, corrosion and/or contamination. $ Removing them improves heat transfer, increases equipment life, and lowers overall operating costs. • This process is known as Softening.

Professor Prank Verhoek, for suggesting this problem, and for his advice and encouragement during the course of the work. 1 also wish to thank the Cincinnati Chemical Works for providing a fellowship under which much of this work was done. ii PREFACE This dissertation is & report of experimental studies on the equilibrium constants of a number of silver ammine complexes in ethanol-water solution, with the purpose of examining the relation­ ship between the stabilities of these complexes and the basio strengths and structures of the amines. Formation constants of the complex silver ions and dissociation constants of the amines were obtained at 25°C in 50 mole % ethanol-water mixtures from pH measurements of solutions containing known amounts of silver ion, acid, amine and neutral salt. The glass eleotrode used was calibrated on solutions for which the pH had been determined by potentiometric measurements with hydrogen electrodes and by spectrophotometric measurements using an indicator. - iii - TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENT ....................................... ii PREFACE............................................... iii LIST OF T A B L E S ......................................... vi LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS................................... ix LIST OF AMINES (ALPHABETICAL).......................... x LIST OF AMINES (BY NUMBER SYMBOL)........................ xi I.
