ACETATE DEPARTMENT 1. Analyze the Acetate Department’s technology‚ before and after the change‚ by identifying its task variety and analyzability. The task variety was lower and the conversion process was more analyzable before the change. Before the change‚ there were more employees responsible for the actual process of taking the raw materials and creating the product. Employees had specialized tasks and the problems typically occurred less when employees had specialized tasks. The employees

Case : Acetate Department 1) What were the objectives of the production reorganization at Acetate ? The main objective of the production reorganization at Acetate Department was to improve production capacity‚ to increase productivity. 2) Why do you think the objectives of the reorganization were not realized‚ even though no employees lost their jobs‚ and salaries were increased ? Even though no employees lost their jobs and salaries were increased‚ we can note that the productivity

SYNTHESIS OF ESTERS USING GREEN AND NON-GREEN CHEMISTRY Abstract Esters are a class of organic compounds with the general formula RCOOR’. Ester also contributes the flavor and aromas in fruits and flowers. The esterification reactions will use in the procedure‚ which are the interaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol‚ aided by an inorganic acid catalyst (H2SO4). Moreover‚ the green method will not use any catalyst but using heating source instead (microwave). Based on the comparison of

Preparation of an Acetic Acid Ester Abstract: 14.1 g of octyl acetate were synthesized from the esterification process using 20.0 ml of acetic acid and 17.9 g of n-octanol. The theoretical yield was 23.8 g of octyl acetate. The percent yield was 59.2%. The purification of the final ester was confirmed by boiling point (186-199°C) and infrared index (nD=1.419). It was a colorless liquid that had a slight fragrance of orange and indescribable chemicals. The Infrared spectra confirmed ester

Synthesis The old acetate department located in an old four storey building follows a workflow that is heavily based on shifts/rotations because production is based on a per batch basis. A typical shift‚ the group leader and his crew would complete two or three batches. The night shift usually has lesser work because no deliveries were made. In the new system‚ the management wants to improve productivity. The department was redesigned from batches to continuous processing. Technical changes

Purpose of this experiment is to synthesis Banana oil by mixture of the isopentyl alcohol and acetic acid . Banana oil smells like fruit mostly it smells like banana. This reasons that this compound uses in different perfume products as well as the gums for the flavor. The reaction that takes place in this experiment is a esterification. In this experiment‚ the carboxyl group of the acetic acid joins with the hydroxyl group of the isopently alcohol‚ catalyzed by the presence of sulfuric acid
