Dutch term

voorloopzuur

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng Chemistry
"Het zuur in B9840/50 is een mengsel van voorloopzuur uit de ZAZ-destillatie en RAZ dat behandeld werd met hydrazine in B9840."

Who can give me the correct English term?
"Lead acid" gets hits but refers to "lead batteries" and not to acrylic acids.

TIA

precursor

if you're talking about an earlier compound during a synthetic sequence here, the correct term would be a "precursor"; if you're talking about material produced by the process before the main product, I guess it would be somthing like an initial "run-off".

neutral Dave Greatrix : Alex is talking about "verloopzuur"

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks to all for attempting to solve this difficult problem. "precursor" came closest to getting the idea. The client finally enlightened me. "voorloop" and "naloop" has something to do with the boiling points of the media; in this instance it would be the "light end acid" that is produced by distillation, where the light ends have low boiling points and thefore evaporate first.

waste acid

Declined
I think destillatie should read distillatie.

A distillation process can result in waste acid.

leading acid

Ik heb er helemaal geen verstand van, maar op onderstaande website kwam ik wel de term 'leading acid' tegen. Op die term geeft Google in elk geval wel een aantal hits.

Amiloride-blockable acid-sensing ion channels are leading acid sensors expressed in human nociceptors
Peer comment(s):

disagree Dave Greatrix : The "leading" used in your ref. is an adjective. IE. "leading acid sensor = prominent acid sensor

Had ik zelf ook al bedacht nadat ik het antwoord had gegeven.
