The Influence Of Agitation On A Continuous Counter-Current Liquid-Liquid Extraction Column, William John Hartmann

Theses

This work presents operating data and correlations of agitated extraction equipment studied under continuous counter-current flow.

The experimental work was carried out in at agitated column 36 inches in length with an internal diameter of 2 inches using the system toluene, benzoic acid and water. The working section of the column was 24 inches. The design of the column used for the experimental work is similar to that proposed in a patent by van Dijck (3). The column is similar only to the extent that the patent covers numerous conditions of vertical agitation.

The distribution data and the equilibrium solubility …

Correlation Of The Number Of Theoretical Plates Vs. Reflux Ratio, George Ignatius Parisi

Theses

A correlation is presented from which the number of theoretical plates for a given separation by distillation can be estimated as a function of the reflux ratio. The effects of relative volatility and feed composition upon such a correlation are also studied. Smoker's (1) equation was used in calculating the data. The results were obtained by varying the several parameters which have to be given for any separa tion desired. These include feed compositions of 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75; relative volatilities of 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, and 2.0; and various reflux ratios. The overhead product and bottoms product compositions were kept …

Substituted Ureas, Roy Earl Parks

Theses

Nitrosomethylurea in aqueous medium decomposes on heating to methanol, nitrogen and cyanic or isocyanic acid. Primary amines present during the decomposition react with cyanic acid to form substituted ureas, readily isolated in high purity and good yield.

The Effect Of Surface Tension Upon The Flow Of Fluids Through Packed Beds, William Charles Streib

Theses

Flow tests through beds of unconsolidated sand, glass beads and 1/4 inch Berl saddles showed that wide variations in the surface tension of a fluid had no significant effect on its flowrate through the bed. Viscosity and density were the only fluid properties affecting such flow. Excellent comparative results were observed between the flowrates through sand beds and those predicted by the Leva equation.

The complex Brownell and Katz equation for predicting the residual saturation of a packed bed was found to apply for fluids having a much wider range of surface tension than those originally used to derive their …

Ultrafiltration In The Pigment Field : A Critical Literature Survey, Charles Walter Manger

Theses

The objective in this work has been to determine, through a critical literature survey, the possible application of ultrafiltration, and other related techniques, towards the solution of certain problems encountered in the research and testing of various pigments.

Among these problems may be mentioned the following:

1. The determination of water-soluble salts in pigments, which when dispersed in water to leach out the salts, tend to peptize, thus being unfilterable through the usual filter paper. Among these pigments are the following: iron blue, certain chrome yellows, pigment green B, copper maroon, and several others. It may be added that these pigments …

Isobaric Heat Capacity Of Ethylene Over A Wide Range Of Temperature And Pressure, Robert John Sibilia

Theses

The effect of pressure and temperature on the isobaric heat capacity at constant volume for ethylene relative to the ideal gas state is presented. The results cover pressures from 0 to 10,000 FA and temperatures from 32.0°F to 2372.0°F.

The deviation of the isobaric heat capacity of ethylene from the ideal gas state for the wide range of pressure and temperature covered was found from an equation derived from the Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state. Graphs and tables relating the deviation of the isobaric h capacity: the deviation of heat capacity at constant volume, pressures and temperature are included.

The results …

A Study In Emulsions, Edward Arthur Morse

Theses

An emulsion is a dispersion of one liquid in another liquid, the liquids being insoluble in each other. An emulsion consists of two phases, a continuous phase and a dispersed phase. The dispersed phase consists of tiny droplets or particles of one liquid which is completely surrounded by the other liquid comprising the continuous phase. One of the many factors affecting the stability of an emulsion is the size of the particle of the dispersed liquid.

This study is concerned with one emulsion prepared by different mechanical devices and under different conditions. The units of equipment employed are Eppenbach Colloid …

Preparation And Reduction Of Azo Dyes From 2-Amino Phenol-4-Sulfonic Acid, Guy J. Walker

Theses

Reduction of azo dyes is presented as a method for the synthesis of 2-amino phenol-4-oulfenic acid.

Adherent Electroplating On Molybdenum, Robert Marius Hansen

Theses

Molydbenum, due to its high temperature properties, and potential supply, is becoming a very important structural material, particularly in the field of electronics, however, it is not new in this part of industry. As temperatures go higher in various fields, the need for satisfactory materials becomes of paramount importance.

One of the ways in which to overcome the disadvantages of poor stability, brazing difficulties, and surface resistance to high frequency conduction, is by electroplating. Until recently there has been no satisfactory method for obtaining adherent deposits. The purpose of this report has been to investigate these recent processes and devise …

The Synthesis Of 2-Amino-4-Chlorophenol-6 Sulfonic Acid, Herman Albert Bronner

Theses

The work described in this thesis was undertaken with the view of exploring a reaction sequence suggested by early French investigators to synthesize 2-amino-4-chlorophenol-6-sulfonic acid especially in reference to the German claim that a low yield of product would result following this preparation, In particular, a successful application of this procedure would afford a relatively direct and inexpensive route to the sulfonic acid which is used as an azo dyestuff intermediate and could possibly find application in medicinal chemistry.

It was found that sulfonation and nitration of p-dichlorobenzene gave a high yield of the sodium-2-nitro-1,4-3 dichloro-benzene-6-sulfonate (91%) when using the …

This thesis is offered as partial fulfilment for the degree of Chemical Engineer at the Newark College of Engineering. It covers a very new subject - one which has been rather intensively developed by several investigators during the past three years. The writer has had the fortunate opportunity of working on organic ion-exchange materials at the Ellis-Foster Co., which kindly gave permission through Mr. Carleton Ellis for the publication of experimental results. Many thanks are due to Dr. Frank B. Root, the laboratory director, whose gracious, constructive criticisms aided the writer in all phases of the work.
