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.
Calendering passes a textile web or warm, doughy mass of plastic or rubber material between a series of rollers to create a smooth and flat film, sheet, or fabric.
Chamber recovery services include the cleaning, stripping, and reclamation of precious metals deposited within internal surfaces of the PVD coating chamber.
Waste products are crushed, compacted, used for storage, contaminant extraction, or recycling. For example, used oil filters or containers are often crushed to extract any remaining waste oil.
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. Compounding can be used for 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.
Condensation changes a gas to a liquid or a solid, or a liquid to a solid. Chill roll systems, heat exchangers, chillers and direct convective cooling equipment are used cooling processes.
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 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 uses evaporation, sublimation, or freeze-drying processes to remove liquids or moisture from bulk solids, powders, parts, continuous sheets or other liquids.
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.
Fermentation is used in the production of drugs, foodstuffs and beverages. The process uses fermentation, biological catalysts or enzymatic compounds, microrganisms, and other biological agents or biotransformations to process or synthesize products. Enzymes are very effective at breaking down certain proteins. Composting is a biotransformation process that uses bacteria to break down organic waste.
Molecular sieve filtration often uses a porous molecular structure that selectively adsorbs or rejects molecules based on differences in molecular size or shape.
Granulation, pelletization, briquetting or agglomerations are size enlargement processes. Granulation or agglomeration increases particle size by adhering or bonding together several fine particles with a liquid or wax binder to from larger agglomerates. Pelletization or briquetting compacts fine powders into larger pellets or briquettes.
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 or formylation reactions such as Duff, Gattermann-Koch or Vilsmeier-Haack are performed. 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 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.
