A industrial applications

As of 1990, seven industrial-scale plants were operating in Russia (Bunimovich et al., 1990). The first plant started up in 1982. The design of these plants generally follows the schematic given in Fig. 7. Some employ an intermediate heat exchanger, but details have not been published. Designs are marketed around the world by several organizations. 

Performance data have been published on most of the S02 oxidation flow reversal plants operating in Russia (Matros, 1989 Bunimovich et al., 1990). These are summarized in Table VII. More than 14 years of operating data has been collected on the Krasnouralsk plant. The S02 concentration in the feed has varied considerably. Typically, during a working shift the variation is between 1 and 3%, but short-term variations have been much

Several pilot plants have been built to test periodic flow direction reversal. Pilot-scale reactors with bed diameters from 1.6 to 2.8 m were operated with flow reversal for several years. The units, described by Bunimovich et al. (1984,1990) and Matros and Bunimovich (1996), handled 600 to 3000 m3/h and operated with cycle periods of 15 to 20 min. Table VIII shows the performance of these plants for different feeds and potassium oxide promoted vanadia catalysts. The SVD catalyst was granular the IK-1-4 was in the form of 5 (i.d.) X 10-mm cylinders, while the SVS catalyst was

Those, on industrial applications orientated systems, are acoustic emission and the temperature analysis of the casting. Realizing this conception (fig. 2) will enable to develop a process parameter control and consequently to stabilize the casting process. 

We have presented a neural network based spectrum classifier (NSC) aimed at ultrasonic resonance spectroscopy. The ultrasonic spectroscopy and the NSC has been evaluated in many industrial applications, such as concrete inspection, testing of aerospace composite structures, ball bearings, and aircraft multi-layer structures. The latter application has been presented in some detail. 

For an industrial application it is necessary to separate the response of a real crack from artifacts, and to derive information about the geometry and the location of the crack. For this purpose we have developed a filter which is sensitive to the characteristic features of a signal caused by a crack and amplifies it, whereas signals without these typical features are suppressed. In Fig. 5.1 first results obtained with such an iterative filter algorithm are shown. 

As the same basis was used for the development of these standards, their was now a method for all film manufacturers to properly identify their films within a given system. This also provides an excellent means for the development of new film products to meet specific industry applications requirements for quality. 

For NDT of new construction this implies that, the more one knows about the material properties and operational conditions, the better the acceptance criteria for weld defects can be based on the required weld integrity and fine-tuned to a specific application. In pipeline industry, this is already going to happen. 

In corrosion, adsorbates react directly with the substrate atoms to fomi new chemical species. The products may desorb from the surface (volatilization reaction) or may remain adsorbed in fonning a corrosion layer. Corrosion reactions have many industrial applications, such as dry etching of semiconductor surfaces. An example of a volatilization reaction is the etching of Si by fluorine [43]. In this case, fluorine reacts with the Si surface to fonn SiF gas. Note that the crystallinity of the remaining surface is also severely disrupted by this reaction. An example of corrosion layer fonnation is the oxidation of Fe metal to fonn mst. In this case, none of the products are volatile, but the crystallinity of the surface is dismpted as the bulk oxide fonns. Corrosion and etching reactions are discussed in more detail in section A3.10 and section C2.9.

The material of this chapter and, for that matter, of the two preceding chapters has wide applicability in the area of technology and manufacture. To do justice to this facet of the subject would require a book in itself, so we must settle for a few paragraphs concerned with industrial applications. 

Other Industrial Applications. High pressures are used industrially for many other specialized appHcations. Apart from mechanical uses in which hydrauhc pressure is used to supply power or to generate Hquid jets for mining minerals or cutting metal sheets and fabrics, most of these other operations are batch processes. Eor example, metallurgical appHcations include isostatic compaction, hot isostatic compaction (HIP), and the hydrostatic extmsion of metals. Other appHcations such as the hydrothermal synthesis of quartz (see Silica, synthetic quartz crystals), or the synthesis of industrial diamonds involve changing the phase of a substance under pressure. In the case of the synthesis of diamonds, conditions of 6 GPa (870,000 psi) and 1500°C are used (see Carbon, diamond, synthetic). 

Hydrostatic drives allow for selection of any travel speed up to the maximum without a concurrent variance in engine speed. The engine can be operated at the governed speed to provide proper operating speeds for auxiliary elements, eg, the threshing section of a combine. A frill range of travel speeds is available to adjust to terrain or crop conditions. Industrial applications for hydraulic systems and hydrostatic transmissions include the following (16) ... 

Uses. Currentiy, the principal use of lactic acid is in food and food-related applications, which in the United States accounts for approximately 85% of the demand. The rest ( 15%) of the uses are for nonfood industrial applications. The expected advent of the production of low cost lactic acid in high volume can open new applications for lactic acid and its derivatives, because it is a versatile molecule that can be converted to a wide range of industrial chemicals or polymer feedstocks (1,6,20). 

Pervaporation is a relatively new process with elements in common with reverse osmosis and gas separation. In pervaporation, a liquid mixture contacts one side of a membrane, and the permeate is removed as a vapor from the other. Currendy, the only industrial application of pervaporation is the dehydration of organic solvents, in particular, the dehydration of 90—95% ethanol solutions, a difficult separation problem because an ethanol—water azeotrope forms at 95% ethanol. However, pervaporation processes are also being developed for the removal of dissolved organics from water and the separation of organic solvent mixtures. These applications are likely to become commercial after the year 2000.
