View Table of Contents (PDF) Abstract Process Economics Program Report 7C CAPROLACTAM (May 1998) This supplementary report presents an overview of the technical and economic aspects of modern caprolactam manufacture and identifies specific process improvements developed since PEP Report 41B, Nylon 6 and Caprolactam , was issued in March 1988. Because the vast majority of today’s caprolactam is produced from cyclohexanone, we pri- marily focus on the cyclohexanone based routes in our review of recent technology improvements in caprolactam manufacturing technology. In particular, we highlight the environmental aspects of caprolactam production, especially for cyclohexane oxidation and hydroxylamine production technologies. Two process technologies are evaluated in detail: • DSM’s hydroperoxide process—a commercial cyclohexane oxidation process for cyclo- hexanone manufacture • EniChem’s ammoximation process—a newly commercialized oximation process for cy- clohexanone oxime manufacture Comparison economics are presented for major commercial and developing technologies for the production of cyclohexanone, cyclohexanone oxime, and caprolactam. For producers of caprolactam and its intermediates, this report will be useful for the compar- ative economics it provides, as well as for its extensive review of recently issued patents and published literature.

  • Efficient Surface Formation Route of Interstellar Hydroxylamine Through NO Hydrogenation II: the Multilayer Regime in Interstellar Relevant Ices
    1 Efficient Surface Formation Route of Interstellar Hydroxylamine through NO Hydrogenation II: the multilayer regime in interstellar relevant ices G. Fedoseev1, a), S. Ioppolo1, ‡, T. Lamberts1, 2, J. F. Zhen1, H. M. Cuppen2, H. Linnartz1 1Sackler Laboratory for Astrophysics, Leiden Observatory, University of Leiden, PO Box 9513, NL 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands 2Institute for Molecules and Materials, Radboud University Nijmegen, PO Box 9010, NL 6500 GL Nijmegen, The Netherlands Hydroxylamine (NH2OH) is one of the potential precursors of complex pre-biotic species in space. Here we present a detailed experimental study of hydroxylamine formation through nitric oxide (NO) surface hydrogenation for astronomically relevant conditions. The aim of this work is to investigate hydroxylamine formation efficiencies in polar (water-rich) and non-polar (carbon monoxide-rich) interstellar ice analogues. A complex reaction network involving both final (N2O, NH2OH) and intermediate (HNO, NH2O·, etc.) products is discussed. The main conclusion is that hydroxylamine formation takes place via a fast and barrierless mechanism and it is found to be even more abundantly formed in a water-rich environment at lower temperatures. In parallel, we experimentally verify the non-formation of hydroxylamine upon UV photolysis of NO ice at cryogenic temperatures as well as the non-detection of NC- and NCO-bond bearing species after UV processing of NO in carbon monoxide-rich ices. Our results are implemented into an astrochemical reaction model, which shows that NH2OH is abundant in the solid phase under dark molecular cloud conditions. Once NH2OH desorbs from the ice grains, it becomes available to form more complex species (e.g., glycine and β-alanine) in gas phase reaction schemes.

However, this imaging modality still suffers from a low depth of penetration, thus limiting its use to shallow tissues or endoscopy-based procedures. In contrast, positron emission tomography (PET) presents a high depth of penetration and the resulting signal is less attenuated, allowing for imaging in-depth tissues. Thus, association of these imaging techniques has the potential to push back the limits of each single modality. Recently, several research groups have been involved in the development of radiolabeled fluorophores with the aim of affording dual-mode PET/OPI probes used in preclinical imaging studies of diverse pathological conditions such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, or cardiovascular diseases. Among all the available PET-active radionuclides, 18F stands out as the most widely used for clinical imaging thanks to its advantageous characteristics (t1/2 = 109.77 min; 97% β+ emitter).

NH3 is first oxidized to NH2OH by TS-1/H2O2; then, CH3CH=NOH forms after NH2OH reacts with CH3CHO. That means the intermediate of this reaction is NH2OH instead of CH3CH=NH. Experiments have been conducted to verify the mechanism, and the results are in good agreement with the infrared findings. Keywords: TS-1; H2O2; ReactIR15; ammoximation; acetaldehyde 1. Introduction Acetaldoxime is one of the simplest oxime-containing compounds, and it has a wide variety of uses in chemical synthesis processes as an important intermediate [1,2]. It is especially notable for its commercial application as an intermediate in the production of pesticides and cyanogenic glucosides [3] or as boiler chemicals to remove oxygen with its limited toxicity and strong reduction [2].

In July 1981, the Carcinogenesis Bioassay Testing Program was transferred from NCI to NIEHS. NTP coordinates the relevant Public Health Service programs, staff, and resources that are concerned with basic and applied research and with biological assay development and validation. NTP develops, evaluates, and disseminates scientific information about potentially toxic and hazardous chemicals. This knowledge is used for protecting the health of the American people and for the primary prevention of disease. NTP designs and conducts studies to characterize and evaluate the toxicologic potential of selected chemicals in laboratory animals (usually two species, rats and mice). Chemicals selected for NTP toxicology studies are chosen primarily on the bases of human exposure, level of production, and chemical structure.
