The project is financially viable with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 14 % and a net present value (NPV) of Birr 1.71 million, discounted at 8.5%. II. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION Acetone is a colourless volatile and inflammable liquid with a mildly pungent and aromatic odor. It is miscible in all proportions with water and organic solvents such as diethyl ether, methanol, ethyl alcohol and esters. This product is used for the following purposes:- - As a solvent for cellulose acetate, nitro-cellulose, celluloid, chlorinated rubber, etc. - As a carrier for acetylene; - as a raw-material for the chemical synthesis of a wide range of products, such as ketone, methyl methacrylate, bisphenol A, methyl isobutyle ketone, etc, in chemicals, explosives and lacquer industries. Acetone is an import substitute product. III. MARKET STUDY AND PLANT CAPACITY A. MARKET STUDY 1. Past Supply and Present Demand The country s requirement for acetone is totally met through import. Data obtained from the Ethiopian Customs Authority with regard to import of acetone for the period covering 1997 - 2004 is given in Table 3.1.

These cytochrome systems catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol and other lipid metabolites both in endogenous substrates, such as ethanol and acetone as well as exogenous substrates which includes carbon tetrachloride (Tang et al., 2013). In the presence of oxygen, CCl3†¢ generates the highly reactive metabolites such as trichloromethyl peroxy (CCl3OO†¢) free radicals which covalently bind to theRead MoreSensitization And Skin Irritancy Potential Of MDI Essay1061 Words   |  5 PagesRESULTS Examination of Sensitization and Skin Irritancy Potential of MDI To confirm that exposure to MDI would sensitize or irritate animals, 1% MDI (in dry acetone, w/v) were painted on each ear of randomly grouped Balb/c mice and assayed for dermal irritancy potential via ear swelling measurements and ear inflammatory cytokine mRNA production quantified via RT-PCR. Average ear swelling was significantly increased four days following 1% MDI exposure (Figure 1A).

In Cn, differences exist in the production of virulence factors such as melanin and capsule in the laboratory under nutrient-rich conditions compared to tissue culture medium and in the host. Furthermore, these physiological differences affect the organism’s sensitivity to antifungal drugs, and are also likely to affect production of biomarkers such as exRNAs [29]. A significant body of data is emerging that indicates an abundanceRead MoreFormal Report Exp 96351 Words   |  26 Pagesyield to a blue green solution if it reacted positively. This was seen in all the sample used in this test except for acetone. Whereas Dinitrophenylhydrazone (2,4-DNP) Test was preformed to test for aldehydes and ketones which would result to a yellow orange precipitate if it was positively reacted. All the compounds subjected to this test namely n-butyraldehyde, benzaldehyde and acetone gave a positive result. Fehling’s Test and Tollens’ Silver Mirror Test were used to tests for aldehydes. In FehlingRead MoreThe Effect Of Blending Of Crude Palm Oil With Sunflower And Groundnut Oil On Proximate Composition1641 Words   |  7 Pagesboth at domestic and commercial level. The developed products were evaluated organoleptically and nutritionally. The products prepared in oil blends were compared with those prepared in palm oil alone to evaluate their organoleptic and nutritional profile. Material and methods 2.1 Procurement of oil Crude palm oil was obtained from National Research Centre for Oil Palm, Kerala, India. Sunflower and groundnut oils were procured in a single lot from the local market of Hisar, India. 2.2 Blending ofRead MoreThe Process of Photosynthesis and Practicals3109 Words   |  12 Pages2012). In the Calvin Cycle, NADPH is oxidised to NADP+ ions forming a Phosphate group. ATP is converted to Adenine Diphosphate (ADP). The reuse of these bi-products are used in the electron and proton flow of the light cycles, allowing for energy production by the light reactions. The reformation of Ribulose biphosphate allows it to receive CO2 again. In the light cycles, ATP is formed from the addition of a phosphate group and NADPH is formed from the reduction (addition of electrons and a proton)Read MoreBiodegradation of Hydrocarbons from Crude Oil by Pseudomonas Putida4958 Words   |  20 Pagesof biodegraded petroleum-derived aromatic hydrocarbons in marine sediments was reported by[ Jones et al]. They studied the extensive biodegradation o alkyl aromatics in marine sediments which occurred prior to detectable biodegradation of n-alkane proï ¬ le of the crude oil and the microorganisms, namely, Arthrobacter, Burkholderia, Mycobacterium, Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas, and Rhodococcus were found to be involved for alkylaromatic degradation.

Primary production plays the largest role in these environments, and is dictated by geophysical fluids in the vertical and horizontal directions (Camargo et al., 2014). It is especially important to study and understand the characteristics of these oceanographic profiles, as it is this primary production that will have large impacts on species diversity and marine food web assemblages.

The alcohol/acetone mixture then causes dehydration of the multilayered peptidoglycan, thus decreasing the space between the molecules and causing the cell wall to trap the crystal violet-iodine complex within the cell. In the case of gram-negative bacteria, the alcohol/acetone mixture, being a lipid solvent, dissolves the outer membrane of the cell wall and may also damage the cytoplasmic membraneRead MoreGram Negative Unknown Lab Report2470 Words   |  10 Pagesa mordant (Leboffe and Pierce 105). The iodine enhances the crystal violet stain in Gram-positive bacteria by forming a crystal-iodine complex so that the Gram-positive bacteria keeps that purple/violet color (Leboffe and Pierce 105). Ethanol or acetone is used to decolorize the Gram-negative bacteria so that the bacteria can be stain ed with a counterstain called safranin. After finishing the Gram stain, Gram-positive bacteria should be colored pink or red due to the safranin, and Gram-positive bacteria
