Chemical Processing - July 2008 - (Page 14) in process Big potential InEnTec also foresees a unit with two 20-ton/d trains in the Houston area, adding that construction might begin by the end of this year. Veolia would operate that facility, which would serve a number of chemical plants in the vicinity. In addition, dedicated units operating at specific sites on the Gulf Coast are a possibility, says InEnTec. = capping groups Big Molecules Get Big Boost A process developed by Abdellatif Chouai and Eric E. Simanek of the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, promises to open up industrial scale production of dendrimers, giant molecules with tree-like branches. Dendrimers reportedly suit a variety of applications including coatings and sensors. However, the multiple steps required to make them have thwarted production on a commercial scale. Their method simplifies production by using a so-called “uncommitted intermediate,” a dendrimer scaffolding that can be built upon in countless ways, say the researchers. The route employs common reaction conditions, inexpensive reagents and aqueous solvents. Figure 2. Enormous branched molecules may offer advantages for a host of commercial applications.
