The purpose of this lab was to use gas chromatography to determine the relative amounts of the three components of gas products from the dehydration reaction of 1- and 2-Butanol with sulfuric acid and the dehydrobromination reaction of 1- and 2-Bromobutane with potassium tert-butoxide. E1 reactions are two-step unimolecular reactions. The first step of an E1 reaction occurs when a leaving group‚ which consists of a weak base‚ leaves an organic compound‚ leaving an intermediate carbocation. In the

WHAT IS COAL SEAM GAS (CSG)? CSG is a naturally occurring methane gas which is known as Coal Bed Methane (CBM). It is a-by product of ancient plant matter that has formed over millions of years by the same natural processes which produce coal. Not long ago this gas was identified as a major problem in the underground coal mining industry due to it’s high flammability despite this‚ it is now recognised as a very profitable resource. The coal seams are generally filled with water and it is the

The global oil and gas industry also involves the exploration and production of commodity and energy trading‚ pipeline monitoring and renewable energy. Petroleum is proved to be one of the most valuable commodities in the world today and a vital factor in the sustenance of industrial civilization. Crude oil production accounts for a significant amount of the world’s oil consumption‚ approximately 53% in the Middle East‚ 32% in Europe and Asia‚ 44% in South and Central America‚ 41% in Africa and

Engineering Workshop 1 Exhaust Gas Treatment Index of contents Introduction Waste gas with harmful traces of gas must be burned in an afterburner. To destroy the harmful traces the temperature after the burner must achieve 900°C. The preheater can`t resist a temperature of 700°C. Therefore quench water in a mixer will be used to protect the heat exchanger. The waste gas has the following properties: Waste gas composition: Mole fraction(= 0‚9890

Shale Gas(셰일 가스) Shale is one of the most common sedimentary rocks in the world and it is primarily composed of clay and fragments of other minerals such as quartz and calcite. Shale can be the source‚ reservoir and the seal for natural gas. Shale formations normally have low permeability (limited ability for gas or fluids to flow easily through the shale formation) and normally require stimulation techniques (such as fracturing) to economically produce shale gas. Shale gas is natural gas that

Process fundamentals The cutting process is illustrated in Fig. 1. Basically‚ a mixture of oxygen and the fuel gas is used to preheat the metal to its ’ignition’ temperature which‚ for steel‚ is 700°C - 900°C (bright red heat) but well below its melting

weapons became popular. Poison gas‚ such as mustard and chlorine became the number one thing to use. Gas was invented to cause fear to the soldiers the army was fighting. The gas could cause death quickly over a few days which was why poison gas was the most feared of all the soldiers. Poison gas could be used when the soldiers wanted to knock out a large amount of people without having to do much. Gun shots from a machine gun were more common but using the gas put the soldiers in more pain which

Professor Honeycutt English 1010 December 10‚ 2012 Gas Prices too high to pay Today gas prices have crept up to just over fifteen dollars a gallon. Due to rapidly depleted resources‚ the price of oil has gone to five hundred and thirty dollars; therefore the final price of gasoline had to increase. This has caused extreme violence to erupt all over the nation‚ especially at the gas stations themselves. People‚ in order just to fill up their gas tanks have had to sacrifice many things in their daily

Cons of Natural Gas Drilling Gas drilling has had the most impact on Pennsylvania ever since it was discovered. Whether or not it would have a direct impact on the environment is the question everyone has. Or “is it too good to be true?” obviously there are flaws in the idea of natural gas drilling and I am going to point these out whether or not you see the obvious issues on the matter is for you too judge for one’s self. My final question to you is how many people really going to make a huge
