INTRODUCTION Figure 1: Molecular Structure of PET PET (or PETE) is also known as polyethylene terephthalate or (C10H8O4)n. Its natural state is a colorless, semi-crystalline resin when combined with other materials like glass fiber or carbon nanotubes, it increases the material’s strength. Polyethylene terephthalate melts at 260°C and Amorphous density (at 25oC) is 1.33 g/cm3. PET can be produced by 2 different reactions as a product of polymerization. The first reaction is between ethylene glycol with terephthalic acid. The second one is the reaction of ethylene glycol with dimethyl terephthalate in acid catalyst. Figure 2: Molecular Structure of ethylene glycol Ethylene glycol is an organic compound with the formula (CH2OH)2. It is …show more content…

It is used as a commodity chemical, principally as a starting compound for polyester manufacturing. Figure 4: Molecular Structure of dimethyl terephthalate Dimethyl terephthalate is the organic compound with formula C10H10O4. It is the diester formed from terephthalic acid and methanol. It is a white solid that melts to give a distillable colorless liquid. BACKGROUND ON THE PRODUCT Figure 5: PET …show more content…

Therefore, water and ethylene terephthalate are formed. 2. Mechanism between dimethyl terephthalic and ethylene glycol In this reaction, heat use as catalyst. Figure 10: Mechanism between dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol As we known heat is involved in this reaction. Figure 10 shows the reaction between dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol. In this reaction, oxygen acts as a nucleophile and hydrogen act as an electrophile. Therefore, hydrogen pull electron from oxygen to form methanol and ethylene terephthalate is formed. INDUSTRIAL SCALE PREPARTION Polyethylene Terephthalate is produced from high purity Ethylene glycol (EG) and Terephthalic acid (TPA) or Dimethyl Terephthalate (DMT). Both processes first produce the intermediate bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-terephthalate (BHET) monomer and either methanol in DMT process or water in TPA process. The BHET monomer is then polymerized under reduced pressure with heat and catalyst to produce PET resins. The primary reaction for the DMT process is: Figure 11: Primary reaction of DMT process The primary reaction for the TPA process

    From the data obtained in Tables 1-3, we were able to plot multiple graphs using excel. These graphs give a better representation of the data as seen in Figures 1-9. It can be seen that each figure shows a slight increase in CO2 production, which signifies a possible change in metabolic rate. Figures 4 and 7 show a relatively large change between the control and fox urine. The changes in slope between theses two are 0.0267 for Figure 4’s slopes and 0.0192 for Figure 7’s slopes.

    Experiment 7 In this experiment we configured several DC circuits consisting of an emf and a network of resistors. The circuits were composed of a power supply, two DMMs, a circuit board, an SPST switch, and an assortment of known resistors along with one unknown resistor. We measured the current and voltage of the entire circuit as well as the potential drops across each resistor to determine the parameters of the circuit including the resistance, voltage, and current for each component.

    Suppose we have a single-hop RCS where there is one AF relay that amplifies the signal received from a transmitter and forwards it to a receiver. Assume that the transmitter sends over the transmitter-to-relay channel a data symbol ${s_k}$, from a set of finite modulation alphabet, $S={S_1, S_2,ldots,S_{cal A}}$, where ${cal A}$ denotes the size of the modulation alphabet. The discrete-time baseband equivalent signal received by the relay, $z_k$, at time $k$ is given by egin{equation} z_k = h_{1,k}s_k + n_{1,k},~~~~for~~k=1,2,ldots,M label{relaySignal} end{equation} where $n_{1,k}sim {cal N}_c(0,sigma_{n1}^2)$ is a circularly-symmetric complex Gaussian noise added by the transmitter-to-relay channel, $h_{1,k}$ denotes the transmitter-to-relay channel, and

    Suppose you need to find the fractional European call and the fractional European put options. Let the Hurst parameter be $H=0.85$, the $\sigma=0,25$, $r=0.10$, $S_{fbm} = 100$, $K = 95$, we have \begin{eqnarray*} d_1^{fBm} & = & \frac{\ln{\frac{S}{K}} + \frac{1}{2}(r( T - t) + \frac{(1)\sigma^2{( T^{2H} - t^{2H})}}{2})}{\sigma{\sqrt{T^{2H} - t^{2H}}}}\\ & = & \frac{\ln(\frac{105}{100}) + (0.10(0.25 -0) + \frac{(1){0.25^2}{0.25^{2(0.85)} - (1)0.25^{2(0.85)}}}{2}}{(0.25){\sqrt{0.25^{2(0.85)} - 0}})} \end{eqnarray*} we obtain $d^{fBm}_1= 1.0558$. We find in the normal distribution that $N(1.0558)= 0.8544$ and $N(-1.0558) = 0.1456.$

    After adding the acetic acid and hydrobromic acid to the solution, and heating and recrystallizing the solution, the product triphenylmethyl bromide was created and had a mass of 0.103 g. The theoretical yield was calculated by determining the limiting reagent in the reaction. The triphenylmethanol was the limiting reagent in the reaction. The total amount of mass from the triphenylmethanol was converted to moles by using the molar mass of the triphenylmethanol. The amount of moles was then converted into grams to determine the theoretical yield, 0.125 g. The percent yield was then calculated by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying the result by 100%. The percent yield was 82.4%.

    Dehydration of 2-Methylcyclohexanol Sura Abedali Wednesday 2:00 PM January 31, 2018 Introduction: Dehydration reactions are important processes to convert alcohols into alkenes. It is a type of elimination reaction that removes an “-OH” group from one carbon molecule and a hydrogen from a neighboring carbon, thus releasing them as a water molecule (H2O) and forming a pi bond between the two carbons1. In this experiment, 2-methylcyclohexanol undergoes dehydration to form three possible products: methylenecylcohexane, 1-methylcyclohexene, and 3-methylcyclohexene in a Hickman still apparatus. Adding 85% Phosphoric Acid to protonates the “-OH” group, turning it into a better leaving group and initiating the dehydration reaction.

Because they can be melted down and reshaped, thermoplastics are usually recycled. Thermoset plastics can only be heated and shaped once, after which the molecular changes mean they are “cured,” retaining their shape and strength even when they are subjected to intense heat and the pressure. Thermoset plastics plays a vital part in our modern world.
