INTRODUCTION Diamond Chemicals a major global competitor in the chemical industry and a leading producer of polypropylene. In 2001 the Corporation was facing losses in earnings and the slowdown of the global economy. The Earning per Share (EPS) had fallen by 50% from 1999 to 2000. The controller of the plant in Merseyside proposed a project of £9 million to renovate and rationalize the polypropylene production line at the plant to compensate for deferred maintenance and to exploit opportunities

CHEMICAL WEATHERING Chemical weathering is a process of alteration of rocks of the Earth’s crust. is a chemical decomposition process. is brought out by atmospheric gases and moisture. End product has a different chemical composition and poorer physical constitution. The process: Chemical change in the nature of rock takes place in the presence of moisture containing many active gases such as CO2‚ N2‚ H2‚ and O2. Rocks are made up of minerals. All the minerals in a rock are not in

Chemicals of Life • With the exception of water‚ virtually all chemicals of life are CARBON based • Molecules that contain Carbon are considered organic with some exceptions such as CO2 • Carbon has 4 valence electrons so it is oriented in a tetrahedron shape Sketch→ • Carbon can form up to 4 covalent bonds and can form long chains‚ rings‚ and branched chain molecules • Carbon acts as the backbone of biological molecules • Molecules that only contain carbon and hydrogen are known as hydrocarbons→

Chemical Reactions & Equations CHEMICAL REACTION : In a reaction when the original state of the particle changes and it cannot be reversed by simple physical means‚ this type of reaction is known as chemical reaction. Example :- Fermentation of grapes‚ burning of wood etc. In this reaction we have seen that after burning of wood‚ coal is formed and we cannot make wood from coal. PHYSICAL REACTION : In a reaction when original state of the particle can be recovered by any means then this type of

CHEMISTRY TOPIC 11 CHEMICAL CALCULATIONS CHEMICAL CALCULATIONS INTRODUCTION The first part of this ‘Chemical Calculations’ topic will help us to work out QUANTITIES involved in a reaction; For example‚ a manufacturer might want to know‚ How much ammonia will I produce from 20 tonnes of nitrogen in the Haber Process? To do these calculations you will need to be familiar with the term Ar (relative atomic mass)‚ Mr‚ Molar mass and Mole. Relative Atomic

also cause a concern when it comes to consumers. Those hard-to-pronounce chemicals that are in the list of ingredients on the label are used for more than just flavoring‚ appearance‚ and preserving the food (Food Additives). Those additives are used in some other very harsh items such as bug repellent (Food Additives). However‚ there are some simple and sustainable options that can help consumers avoid running into harsh chemicals and additives that may be lurking in their food. These changes will not

Chemical Bonding Lab Chemical compounds are combinations of atoms held together by chemical bonds. These chemical bonds are of two basic types—ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds result when one or more electrons from one atom or group of atoms is transferred to another atom. Positive and negative ions are created through the transfer. In covalent compounds no electrons are transferred; instead electrons are shared by the bonded atoms. The physical properties of a substance‚ such as melting point

Clean Up Of Chemical Waste Chemical spills are major problems that haunt the environment. Strict government regulation are trying help this problem‚ but governmental leaders face many challenges. Disposal of harmful chemicals is often difficult and costly. Since chemical waste has destroyed the environment‚ steps are being taken to prevent further pollution‚ Like the Yucca mountain project. A local based pharmaceutical company named Novo Nordisk released its 1999 environmental report. The company
