|
|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
Acylation / Alkylation (e.g., Friedel-Crafts)
|
|
Acylation synthesis produces deactivated monoacylates through an electrophilic, aromatic substitution reaction between arenes and acyl chlorides or anhydrides. In the Friedel-Crafts Alkylation processes, the electrophilic aromatic substitution is catalyzed by a Lewis-acid and produces alkylated products through the reaction of arenes with alkyl halides or alkenes. Alkyl groups can activate arene, resulting in polyalkylated products. Typically, Friedel-Crafts reactions for alkylation or acylation of aromatic compounds are catalyzed by aluminum chloride or other Lewis acids.
|
| |
Atomization / Powder Production
|
|
Companies produce powders through an atomization, spray drying, milling, precipitation, or other proprietary process.
|
| |
Blending / Mixing
|
|
Companies mix or blend materials. Mixers or blenders are driven by a shaft, speed reducer or electric motor.
|
| |
Compounding
|
|
Companies provide compounding of plastics, rubber, elastomers, cleaning agents, lubricants, greases, masterbatch colorants (pigments, dyes), additive masterbatches, organic chemicals, chemical additives, metal working fluids, oils, oil and fuel additives, fuel mixtures, and other materials. Compounding mixes or blends and/or reacts all of the ingredients required to produce a finished product. For example, a compounded plastic resin or elastomer compound typically consists of base polymer resin(s), chemical additives, and reinforcing or extending fillers.
|
| |
Conversion / Forming
|
|
Companies compact, form, cut or otherwise convert materials into different shapes or forms.
|
| |
Crystallization
|
|
Crystallization cools a liquid solution or evaporates a solvent in order to form solid, solute crystals. As they leave the crystallizer, the slurry crystals are often forced through a circulation evaporator and may subsequently be separated from the liquid in a filter or centrifuge.
|
| |
Distillation
|
|
Distillation applies and removes heat in order to separate a liquid or vapor mixture of two or more substances into component fractions of a desired purity. Chemicals and conditions determine which distillation processes can be used. Examples include no-pressure distillation, vacuum distillation, steam distillation, molecular distillation, and thin film distillation.
|
| |
Drying / Freeze Drying
|
|
Drying uses evaporation, sublimation, or freeze drying processes to remove liquids or moisture from bulk solids, powders, parts, continuous sheets or other liquids.
|
| |
Esterification
|
|
Companies perform esterification processes. In the Fischer-Speier esterification method, esterification of acids occurs by refluxing with excess alcohol in the presence of hydrogen chloride or other acid catalysts.
|
| |
Evaporation
|
|
Evaporation is thermal separation or thermal concentration process that removes liquid from a solution, suspension, or emulsion by boiling.
|
| |
Fermentation / Biotransformations
|
|
Companies use fermentation, biological catalysts or enzymatic compounds, microrganisms, and other biological agents or biotransformations to process or synthesize products. Fermentation is used in the production of drugs, foodstuffs and beverages. Enzymes are very effective at breaking down certain proteins. Composting is a biotransformation process that uses bacteria to break down organic waste.
|
| |
Filtration / Extraction
|
|
Companies perform extraction or filtration processes. Molecular sieve filtration often uses a porous molecular structure that selectively adsorbs or rejects molecules based on differences in molecular size or shape.
|
| |
Formulation
|
|
Companies provide formulation services or develop formulas for chemical, polymer or material intensive products. Formulas provide ingredients, amounts, and processing instructions.
|
| |
Halogenation (e.g., Fluorination / Chlorination)
|
|
Halogenation is the reaction, chemical combination or exposure of water or other chemicals to fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine or other halogens. Exposing water to chlorine can destroy biological contaminants. Halogenation processes include fluorination, chlorination, bromination, electrolytic fluorination and iodination as well as related processes such as iodine recovery.
|
| |
Hydroformylation / Formylation
|
|
Companies perform hydroformylation or formylation reactions such as Duff, Gattermann-Koch or Vilsmeier-Haack. In Duff reactions, the formylation of phenols or aromatic amines with hexamethylenetetramine uses an acidic catalyst. Gattermann-Koch reactions are catalyzed by using aluminum chloride at high pressure in order to achieve the formylation of benzene, alkylbenzenes or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride. Formylation of the amino acids in proteins is a naturally occurring process.
|
| |
Hydrogenation
|
|
Companies hydrogenate chemical or raw materials. Hydrogenation is the reaction of hydrogen with another chemical or raw material. For example, Sorbital is formed through the hydrogenation of corn syrup. Formylation of the amino acids in proteins is a naturally occurring process. Fischer Tropsch (gas to liquids) or linear alpha olefin hydroformylation processes are used in the production of synthetic oils fluids. In the Fischer Tropsch reaction or Synthol process, hydrocarbons, aliphatic alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones are synthesized by the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide using synthesis gas enriched from the passage of steam over heated coke. The Bergius reaction is used to synthesize petroleum-like hydrocarbons by the hydrogenation of coal at high temperatures and pressures (~ 450°C @ 300 atm) with or without catalysts.
|
| |
Organometallic / Grignard Reactions
|
|
Companies provide processing or expertise in using organometallic or Grignard reactions. Originally, Grignard reactions were the addition of organomagnesium compounds or Grignard reagents to carbonyl compounds to generate alcohols. The reaction scope now includes the addition of Grignard reagents to a wide variety of electrophilic substrates.
|
| |
Oxidation Reactions
|
