Introduction to Organic Chemistry

1. Sources of Organic Compounds

The major sources of organic chemicals are coal, petroleum, and agricultural products. Both coal and petroleum were formed through the geologic processes of changing animal and plant remains into carbon-containing residues. About one-third of all organic chemicals are derived from coal and about one-half from the petroleum industry

有机化合物的来源

有机化学药品的主要来源是煤、石油和农产品。动植物的遗体通过地质作用变成含碳残基然后形成煤和石油。三分之一的所有有机化合物品是从煤中得到的,一般来自于石油工业。

2. The Methods and Objectives of Organic Chemistry

Because of the tremendous number of organic compounds known, and of the many more being synthesized daily, the study of organic chemistry is not the study of individual compounds, it is the study of groups or families of compounds all closely related to each other. Obviously, the former approach would be prohibitive[prE5hibitiv]. Once the structural relationships of certain typical members of a particular group or family of compounds are understood, these structural features are understood for any one of the many members of the family, even though some may not be known compounds.

因为已知的有机化合物的数目庞大,而且还在逐日合成更多的品种,所以有机化学不是研究单个的化合物,而是把彼此密切相关的化合物按类或族来研究。显然,以前的方法是不可取的,一旦典型的一类特殊化合物被认识,这些结构特征将适用于这类化合物,甚至是一些未知的化合物,

For each group or family of compounds often called homologous series of compounds, structural features are important. In studying organic chemistry, it is not enough to know the identities of the elements and how many atoms of each element are present in a given molecule. More importantly, the order in which these atoms are linked together to form

the molecule must also be known. Once the identities of the elements and the number of atoms present in each of these elements have been established, structural studies are quite important. They require considerable effort and ingenuity[独创] on the part of the organic chemist.

对于一类化合物经常称其为同系物,结构特征是非常重要的。只知道分子含有的元素和元素的原子个数是不够的,更重要的是知道原子组成分子的连接顺序,当元素及原子个数被确认之后,结构的研究也是很重要的,这些都需要有化学家的努力和聪明才智。

Another important phase of the study of organic chemistry is communication, or exchange of information, among organic chemists.

学习有机化学的另一个重要的方面是有机化学家们之间交流和交换信息。

This requires the acquisition of adequate vocabulary and terminology so that any one of the more than a million known compounds, or any one of the yet unsynthesized compounds, can be discussed intelligently on an individual basis.

这就需要熟悉足够的词汇和术语,以便能对百万种以上已知的以及目前尚未合成的化合物中的任一化合物,逐个进行充分的讨论。

This requires a highly systematized method of naming organic compounds.

这需要高度系统化的方法来命名有机化合物。

This science of nomenclature[命名] has received considerable attention during the development of organic chemistry, and it will constitute a second important topic for consideration in connection with each homologous series of compounds to be studied.

这个科学术语在有机化学的发展过程中已经得到相当多的注意,并且他会被看做该考虑的第二个重要主题用来研究每一个同系化合物的联系。

A third important topic for consideration in connection with each homologous series of compounds is procurement[获得]. Many organic compounds, as pointed out earlier, are naturally occurring. Many others, however, are not found in nature,and must be synthesized or prepared from compounds which can be obtained from natural sources. The term "synthesis" means building up of a molecule from smaller units. It is more often used, however, to mean the chemical process of changing or converting an available compound into the desired compound, either in

the laboratory or on a larger scale, as in a manufacturing plant. This general topic can be described as "Methods of Synthesis"

第三个该考虑的主题是同系物的采购。就如前面指出的,许多有机化合物在自然界中存在。但是,更多的是大自然中找不到的,必须由可以从自然资源中获得的化合物合成或配制的。这个合成的意思是从一个更小的单位构成一个分子。这个更多的是用来形容改变或转换一个可得到的化合物变成(人们)希望得到的化合物的化学反应,无论是在实验室或是在更大的范围,如在制造厂。这个主题可被描述成为“合成方法”。

3. Identification of Unknown Organic Compounds

The chemistry of biological systems is very complicated and the organic compounds present are numerous and constitute complex mixtures. Consequently,isolation of a pure chemical species from any one of the major sources of organic matter requires elaborate[详细描述] and painstaking[辛勤的] isolation procedures. Therefore, a major portion of the effort of organic chemists over the years has been devoted to improving methods for isolation and purification of organic compounds.

生物化学系统非常复杂,现有的有机化合物很多并构成复杂的混合物。因此从任何一种有机物的主要来源中分离出纯化学品需要精心细致的分离程序。所以,大部分的有机化学家在努力,致力于提高有机化合物的分离和纯化方法。

In summary, the following four steps are required in order to completely identify any organic compound isolated for the first time from a natural source or produced for the first time in the laboratory:

(1)Isolation of the compound from the mixture of organic or inorganic compounds among which it may be found,followed by application of appropriate criteria of purity.

(2)Establishment of its empirical and molecular formulas by use of appropriate methods of qualitative analysis,quantitative analysis,and molecular weight determination

(3)Proposal of a structural formula physical examination of the compound.as the result of appropriate chemical and

(4)Synthesis of the compound by an unambiguous method as confirmation of the proposed structural formula.

总而言之,为了能完全区别那些第一次从自然资源中分离或是从实验室中生产出来的有机化

合物,以下四个步骤是必须的:

( 1 )从被发现的有机或无机化合物中分离出来的物质,运用适当的标准检验其纯度。( 2 )使用适当的定性、定量分析法和测定分子量来确立实验式。

( 3 )通过对化合物进行适当的物理和化学测定,从而提出分子的结构式。

( 4 )用清晰的方法合成化合物来验证所提出的结构式

第二章科技英语构词法 词是构成句子的要素,对词意理解的好坏直接关系到翻译的质量。 所谓构词法即词的构成方法,即词在结构上的规律。科技英语构词特点是外来语多(很多来自希腊语和拉丁语);第二个特点是构词方法多,除了非科技英语中常用的三种构词法—转化、派生及合成法外,还普遍采用压缩法、混成法、符号法和字母象形法。 2.1转化法(Conversion) 由一种词类转化成另一种词类,叫转化法。例如: water(n.水)→water(v.浇水) charge(n.电荷) →charge(v.充电) yield(n.产率) →yield(v.生成) dry(a.干的) →dry(v.烘干) slow(a.慢的) →slow(v.减慢) back(ad.在后、向后) →back(v.使后退、倒车) square(n.正方形) →square(a.正方形的) 2.2派生法(Derivation) 通过加前、后缀构成一新词。派生法是化工类科技英语中最常用的构词法。 例如“烷烃”就是用前缀(如拉丁或希腊前缀)表示分子中碳原子数再加上“-ane”作词尾构成的。若将词尾变成“-ane”、“-yne”、“-ol”、“-al”、“-yl”,则分别表示“烯”、“炔”、“醇”、“醛”、“基”、等。依此类推,从而构成千成种化学物质名词。常遇到这样的情况,许多化学化工名词在字典上查不到,全若掌握这种构词法,能过其前、后缀分别代表的意思,合在一起即是该词的意义。下面通过表1举例说明。需要注意的是,表中物质的数目词头除前四个另有名称外,其它均为表上的数目词头。 本书附录为化学化工专业常用词根及前后缀。此外还可参阅《英汉化学化工词汇》(第三版)附录中的“英汉对照有机基名表”、“西文化学名词中常用的数止词头”及“英汉对照有机词尾表”。 据估计,知道一个前缀可帮助人们认识450个英语单词。一名科技工作者至少要知道近50个前缀和30个后缀。这对扩大科技词汇量,增强自由阅读能力,提高翻译质量和加快翻译速度都是大有裨益的。 2.3合成法(Composition) 由两个或更多的词合成一个词,叫合成法。有时需加连字符。 如副词+过去分词well-known 著名的 名词+名词carbon steel 碳钢 rust-resistance 防锈 名词+过去分词computer-oriented 研制计算机的 介词+名词by-product 副产物 动词+副词makeup 化妆品 check-up 检查 形容词+名词atomic weight 原子量 periodic table 周期表 动词+代词+副词pick-me-up 兴奋剂 副词+介词+名词out-of-door 户外 2.4压缩法(Shortening) (1)只取词头字母 这种方法在科技英语中较常用。

Unit 1 Chemical Industry 化学工业 1.Origins of the Chemical Industry Although the use of chemicals dates back to the ancient civilizations, the evolution of what we know as the modern chemical industry started much more recently. It may be considered to have begun during the Industrial Revolution, about 1800, and developed to provide chemicals roe use by other industries. Examples are alkali for soapmaking, bleaching powder for cotton, and silica and sodium carbonate for glassmaking. It will be noted that these are all inorganic chemicals. The organic chemicals industry started in the 1860s with the exploitation of William Henry Perkin‘s discovery if the first synthetic dyestuff—mauve. At the start of the twentieth century the emphasis on research on the applied aspects of chemistry in Germany had paid off handsomely, and by 1914 had resulted in the German chemical industry having 75% of the world market in chemicals. This was based on the discovery of new dyestuffs plus the development of both the contact process for sulphuric acid and the Haber process for ammonia. The later required a major technological breakthrough that of being able to carry out chemical reactions under conditions of very high pressure for the first time. The experience gained with this was to stand Germany in good stead, particularly with the rapidly increased demand for nitrogen-based compounds (ammonium salts for fertilizers and nitric acid for explosives manufacture) with the outbreak of world warⅠin 1914. This initiated profound changes which continued during the inter-war years (1918-1939). 1.化学工业的起源 尽管化学品的使用可以追溯到古代文明时代,我们所谓的现代化学工业的发展却是非常近代(才开始的)。可以认为它起源于工业革命其间,大约在1800年,并发展成为为其它工业部门提供化学原料的产业。比如制肥皂所用的碱,棉布生产所用的漂白粉,玻璃制造业所用的硅及Na2CO3. 我们会注意到所有这些都是无机物。有机化学工业的开始是在十九世纪六十年代以William Henry Perkin 发现第一种合成染料—苯胺紫并加以开发利用为标志的。20世纪初,德国花费大量资金用于实用化学方面的重点研究,到1914年,德国的化学工业在世界化学产品市场上占有75%的份额。这要归因于新染料的发现以及硫酸的接触法生产和氨的哈伯生产工艺的发展。而后者需要较大的技术突破使得化学反应第一次可以在非常高的压力条件下进行。这方面所取得的成绩对德国很有帮助。特别是由于1914年第一次世界大仗的爆发,对以氮为基础的化合物的需求飞速增长。这种深刻的改变一直持续到战后(1918-1939)。 date bake to/from: 回溯到 dated: 过时的,陈旧的 stand sb. in good stead: 对。。。很有帮助

Unit 2 Research and Development 研究和开发 Research and development, or R&D as it is commonly referred to, is an activity which is carried out by all sectors of manufacturing industry but its extent varies considerably, as we will see shortly. Let us first understand, or at least get a feel for, what the terms mean. Although the distinction between research and development is not always clear-cut, and there is often considerable overlap, we will attempt to separate them. In simple terms research can be thought of as the activity which produces new ideas and knowledge whereas development is putting those ideas into practice as new process and products. To illustrate this with an example, predicting the structure of a new molecule which would have a specific biological activity and synthesizing it could be seen as research whereas testing it and developing it to the point where it could be marketed as a new drug could be described as the development part. 研究和开发,或通常所称R&D是制造业各个部门都要进行的一项活动。我们马上可以看到,它的内容变化很大。我们首先了解或先感觉一下这个词的含义。尽管研究和开发的定义总是分得不很清楚,而且有许多重叠的部分,我们还是要试着把它们区分开来。简单说来,研究是产生新思想和新知识的活动,而开发则是把这些思想贯彻到实践中得到新工艺和新产品的行为。可以用一个例子来描述这一点,预测一个有特殊生物活性的分子结构并合成它可以看成是研究而测试它并把它发展到可以作为一种新药推向市场这一阶段则看作开发部分。 1.Fundamental Research and Applied Research In industry the primary reason for carting out R&D is economic and is to strengthen and improve the company?s position and profitability. The purpose of R&D is to generate and provide information and knowledge to reduce uncertainty, solve problems and to provide better data on which management can base decisions. Specific projects cover a wide range of activities and time scales, from a few months to 20 years. 1.基础研究和应用研究 在工业上进行研究和开发最主要的原因是经济利益方面,是为了加强公司的地位,提高公司的利润。R&D的目的是做出并提供信息和知识以减低不确定性,解决问题,以及向管理层提供更好的数据以便他们能据此做出决定。特别的项目涵盖很大的活动范围和时间范围,从几个月到20年。 We can pick out a number of areas of R&D activity in the following paragraphs but if we were to start with those which were to spring to the mind of the academic, rather than the industrial, chemist then these would be basic, fundamental (background) or exploratory research and the synthesis of new compounds. This is also labeled “blue skies” research. 我们可以在后面的段落里举出大量的R&D活动。但是如果我们举出的点子来源于研究院而不是工业化学家的头脑,这就是基础的或探索性的研究 Fundamental research is typically associated with university research. It may be carried out for its own intrinsic interest and it will add to the total knowledge base but no immediate applications of it in the “real world” well be apparent. Note that it will provide a valuable

Unit 21 Chemical Industry and Environment 化学工业与环境 How can we reduce the amount of waste that is produced? And how we close the loop by redirecting spent materials and products into programs of recycling? All of these questions must be answered through careful research in the coming years as we strive to keep civilization in balance with nature. 我们怎样才能减少产生废物的数量?我们怎样才能使废弃物质和商品纳入循环使用的程序?所有这些问题必须要在未来的几年里通过仔细的研究得到解决,这样我们才能保持文明与自然的平衡。 1.Atmospheric Chemistry Coal-burning power plants, as well as some natural processes, deliver sulfur compounds to the stratosphere, where oxidation produces sulfuric acid particles that reflect away some of the incoming visible solar radiation. In the troposphere, nitrogen oxides produced by the combustion of fossil fuels combine with many organic molecules under the influence of sunlight to produce urban smog. The volatile hydrocarbon isoprene, well known as a building block of synthetic rubber, is also produced naturally in forests. And the chlorofluorocarbons, better known as CFCs, are inert in automobile air conditioners and home refrigerators but come apart under ultraviolet bombardment in the mid-stratosphere with devastating effect on the earth’s stratospheric ozone layer. The globally averaged atmospheric concentration of stratospheric ozone itself is only 3 parts in 10 million, but it has played a crucial protective role in the development of all biological life through its absorption of potentially harmful shout-wavelength solar ultraviolet radiation. 1.大气化学 燃煤发电厂像一些自然过程一样,也会释放硫化合物到大气层中,在那里氧化作用产生硫酸颗粒能反射入射进来的可见太阳辐射。在对流层,化石燃料燃烧所产生的氮氧化物在阳光的影响下与许多有机物分子结合产生都市烟雾。挥发的碳氢化合物异戊二烯,也就是众所周知的合成橡胶的结构单元,可以在森林中天然产生含氯氟烃。我们所熟悉的CFCs,在汽车空调和家用冰箱里是惰性的,但在中平流层内在紫外线的照射下回发生分解从而对地球大气臭氧层造成破坏,全球大气层中臭氧的平均浓度只有3ppm,但它对所有生命体的生长发育都起了关键的保护作用,因为是它吸收了太阳光线中有害的短波紫外辐射。 During the past 20 years, public attention has been focused on ways that mankind has caused changes in the atmosphere: acid rain, stratospheric zone depletion, greenhouse warming, and the increased oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere. We have known for generations that human activity has affected the nearby surroundings, but only gradually have we noticed such effects as acid rain on a regional then on an intercontinental scale. With the problem of ozone depletion and concerns about global warming, we have now truly entered an era of global change, but the underlying scientific facts have not yet been fully established. 在过去的二十年中,公众的注意力集中在人类对大气层的改变:酸雨、平流层臭氧空洞、温室现象,以及大气的氧化能力增强,前几代人已经知道,人类的活动会对邻近的环境造成影响,但意识到像酸雨这样的效应将由局部扩展到洲际范围则是慢慢发现的。随着臭氧空洞问题的出现,考虑到对全球的威胁,我们已真正进入到全球话改变的时代,但是基本的

Unit1化学工业的研究和开发 One of the main发达国家化学工业飞速发展的一个重要原因就是它在研究和开发方面的投入commitmen t和投资investmen t。通常是销售收入的5%,而研究密集型分支如制药,投入则加倍。要强调这里我们所提出的百分数不是指利润而是指销售收入,也就是说全部回收的钱,其中包括要付出原材料费,企业管理费,员工工资等等。过去这笔巨大的投资支付得很好,使得许多有用的和有价值的产品被投放市场,包括一些合成高聚物如尼龙和聚脂,药品和杀虫剂。尽管近年来进入市场的新产品大为减少,而且在衰退时期研究部门通常是最先被裁减的部门,在研究和开发方面的投资仍然保持在较高的水平。 化学工业technology industry是高技术工业,它需要利用电子学和工程学的最新成果。计算机被广泛应用,从化工厂的自动控制a utomatic control,到新化合物结构的分子模拟,再到实验室分析仪器的控制。 Individual manufacturing一个制造厂的生产量很不一样,精细化工领域每年只有几吨,而巨型企业如化肥厂和石油化工厂有可能高达500,000吨。后者需要巨大的资金投入,因为一个这样规模的工厂要花费2亿5千万美元,再加上自动控制设备的普遍应用,就不难解释为什么化工厂是资金密集型企业而不是劳动力密集型企业。 The major大部分化学公司是真正的跨国公司multinational,他们在世界上的许多国家进行销售和开发市场,他们在许多国家都有制造厂。这种国际间的合作理念,或全球一体化,是化学工业中发展的趋势。大公司通过在别的国家建造制造厂或者是收购已有的工厂进行扩张。 Unit 2工业研究和开发的类型 The applied通常在生产中完成的实用型的或有目的性的研究和开发可以分为好几类,我们对此加以简述。它们是:(1)产品开发;(2)工艺开发;(3)工艺改进;(4)应用开发;每一类下还有许多分支。我们对每一类举一个典型的例子来加以说明。在化学工业的不同部门内每类的工作重点有很大的不同。 (1)产品开发。product development产品开发不仅包括一种新药的发明和生产,还包括,比如说,给一种汽车发动机提供更长时效的抗氧化添加剂。这种开发的产品已经使(发动机)的服务期限在最近的十年中从3000英里提高到6000、9000现在已提高到12000英里。请注意,大部分的买家所需要的是化工产品能创造出来的效果,亦即某种特殊的用途。,或称聚四氟乙烯()被购买是因为它能使炒菜锅、盆表面不粘,易于清洗。(2)工艺开发process development。工艺开发不仅包括为一种全新的产品设计一套制造工艺,还包括为现有的产品设计新的工艺或方案。而要进行后者时可能源于下面的一个或几个原因:新技术的利用、原材料的获得或价格发生了变化。氯乙烯单聚物的制造就是这样的一个例子。它的制造方法随着经济、技术和原材料的变化改变了好几次。另一个刺激因素是需求的显著增加。因而销售量对生产流程的经济效益有很大影响。早期的制造就为此提供了一个很好的例子。 The ability of能预防战争中因伤口感染引发的败血症,因而在第二次世界大战(1939-1945)中,pencillin的需求量非常大,需要大量生产。而在那时,只能用在瓶装牛奶表面发酵的方法小量的生产。英国和美国投入了巨大的人力物力联合进行研制和开发,对生产流程做出了两个重大的改进。首先用一个不同的菌株—黄霉菌代替普通的青霉,它的产量要比后者高得多。第二个重大的流程开发是引进了深层发酵过程。只要在培养液中持续通入大量纯化空气,发酵就能在所有部位进行。这使生产能力大大地增加,达到现代容量超过5000升的不锈钢发酵器。而在第一次世界大战中,死于伤口感染的士兵比直接死于战场上的人还要多。注意到这一点不能不让我们心存感激。 Process development for a new product对一个新产品进行开发要考虑产品生产的规模、产生的副产品以及分离/回收,产品所要求的纯度。在开发阶段利用中试车间(最大容量可达100升)获得的数据设计实际的制造厂是非常宝贵的,例如石油化工或氨的生产。要先建立一个中试车间,运转并测试流程以获得更多的数据。他们需要测试产品的性质,如杀虫剂,或进行消费评估,如一种新的聚合物。 Note that by-products注意,副产品对于化学过程的经济效益也有很大的影响。酚的生产就是一个有代表性的例子。早期的方法,苯磺酸方法,由于它的副产品亚硫酸钠需求枯竭而变的过时。亚硫酸钠需回收和废置成为生产过程附加的费用,增加了生产酚的成本。相反,异丙基苯方法,在经济效益方面优于所有其他方法就在于市场对于它的副产品丙酮的迫切需求。丙酮的销售所得降低了酚的生产成本。 A major part对一个新产品进行工艺开发的一个重要部分是通过设计把废品减到最低,或尽可能地防止可能的污染,这样做带来的经济利益和对环境的益处是显而易见的。 Finally it should be noted that最后要注意,工业开发需要包括化学家、化学工程师、电子和机械工程师这样一支庞大队伍的协同合作才能取得成功。 (3)process improvement工艺改进。工艺改进与正在进行的工艺有关。它可能出现了某个问题使生产停止。在这种情形下,就面临着很大的压力要尽快地解决问题以便生产重新开始,因为故障期耗费资财。 然而,更为常见的commonly,工艺改进是为了提高生产过程的利润。这可以通过很多途径实现。例如通过优化流程提高产量,引进新的催化剂提高效能,或降低生产过程所需要的能量。可说明后者的一个例子是在生产氨的过程中涡轮压缩机的引进。这使生产氨的成本(主要是电)从每吨6.66美元下降到0.56美元。通过工艺的改善提高产品质量也会为产品打开新的市场。 然而,近年来in rencent years,最重要的工艺改进行为主要是减少生产过程对环境的影响,亦即防止生产过程所引起的污染。很明显,有两个相关连的因素推动这样做。第一,公众对化学产品的安全性及其对环境所产生影响的关注以及由此而制订出来的法律;第二,生产者必须花钱对废物进行处理以便它能安全地清除,比如说,排放到河水中。显然这是生产过程的又一笔费用,它将增加所生产化学产品的成本。通过减少废物数量提高效益其潜能是不言而喻的。 然而,请注意note,with a plant对于一个已经建好并正在运行的工厂来说,只能做一些有限的改变来达到上述目的。因此,上面所提到的减少废品的重要性应在新公厂的设计阶段加以考虑。近年来另一个当务之急是保护能源及降低能源消耗。 (4)application development应用开发。显然发掘一个产品新的用处或新的用途能拓宽它的获利渠道。这不仅能创造更多的收入,而且由于产量的增加使单元生产成本降低,从而使利润提高。举例来说,早期是用来制造唱片和塑料雨衣的,后来的用途扩展到塑料薄膜,特别是工程上所使用的管子和排水槽。 我们已经强调emphasis了化学产品是由于它们的效果,或特殊的用途、用处而得以售出这个事实。这就意味着化工产品公司的技术销售代表与顾客之间应有密切的联系。对顾客的技术支持水平往往是赢得销售的一个重要的因素。进行研究和开发的化学家们为这些应用开发提供了帮助。33的制造就是一个例子。它最开始是用来做含氟氯烃的替代物作冷冻剂的。然而近来发现它还可以用作从植物中萃取出来的天然物质的溶解剂。当它作为制冷剂被制造时,固然没有预计到这一点,但它显然也是应用开发的一个例子 。 Unit3设计 Based on the experience and data根据在实验室和中试车间获得的经验和数据,一组工程师集中起来设计工业化的车间。化学工程师的职责就是详细说明所有过程中的流速和条件,设备类型和尺寸,制造材料,流程构造,控制系统,环境保护系统以及其它相关技术参数。这是一个责任重大的工作。 The design stage设计阶段是大把金钱花进去的时候。一个常规的化工流程可能需要五千万到一亿美元的资金投入,有许多的事情要做。化学工程师是做出很多决定的人之一。当你身处其位时,你会对自己曾经努力学习而能运用自己的方法和智慧处理这些问题感到欣慰。 设计阶段design stage的产物是很多图纸: (1)工艺流程图flow sheets。是显示所有设备的图纸。要标出所有的流线和规定的条件(流速、温度、压力、构造、粘度、密度等)。 (2)管道及设备图piping and instrumentation。标明drawings所有设备(包括尺寸、喷嘴位置和材料)、所有管道(包括大小、控制阀、控制器)以及所有安全系统(包括安全阀、安全膜位置和大小、火舌管、安全操作规则)。 (3)仪器设备说明书equipmen specification sheet s。详细说明所有设备准确的空间尺度、操作参数、构造材料、耐腐蚀性、操作温度和压力、最大和最小流速以及诸如此类等等。这些规格说明书应交给中标的设备制造厂以进行设备生产。 3.建造construction After the equipment manufactures当设备制造把设备的所有部分都做好了以后,这些东西要运到工厂所在地(有时这是后勤部门颇具挑战性的任务,尤其对象运输分馏塔这样大型的船只来说)。建造阶段要把所有的部件装配成完整的工厂,首先要做的就是在地面打洞并倾入混凝土,为大型设备及建筑物打下基础(比如控制室、流程分析实验室、维修车间)。 完成了第一步initial activities,就开始安装设备的主要部分以及钢铁上层建筑。要装配热交换器、泵、压缩机、管道、测量元件、自动控制阀。控制系统的线路和管道连接在控制室和操作间之间。电线、开关、变换器需装备在马达上以驱动泵和压缩机。生产设备安装完毕后,化学工程师的职责就是检查它们是否连接完好,每部分是否正常工作。

04.GROUPS IIIB—VIIIB ELEMENTS Group I-B includes the elements scandium, yttrium, lanthanum, and actinium1, and the two rare-earth series of fourteen elements each2—the lanthanide and actinide series. The principal source of these elements is the high gravity river and beach sands built up by a water-sorting process during long periods of geologic time. Monazite sand, which contains a mixture of rare earth phosphates, and an yttrium silicate in a heavy sand are now commercial sources of a number of these scarce elements. B组包括元素钪,钇,镧,和actinium1,和2稀土系列十四each2镧系和锕系元素的系列。这些元素的主要来源是重力高与海滩砂建立起来的water-sorting过程在漫长的地质年代。独居石砂,其中包含一个混合稀土磷酸盐,和一个钇硅酸盐在沉沙现在商业来源的一些这些稀有元素。 Separation of the elements is a difficult chemical operation. The solubilities of their compounds are so nearly alike that a separation by fractional crystallization is laborious and time-consuming. In recent years, ion exchange resins in high columns have proved effective. When certain acids are allowed to flow down slowly through a column containing a resin to which ions of Group III B metals are adsorbed, ions are successively released from the resin3. The resulting solution is removed from the bottom of the column or tower in bands or sections. Successive
