Active dispersion

The lack of a method to determine the spatial distributions of permeability has severely limited our ability to understand and mathematically describe complex processes within permeable media. Even the degree of variation of intrinsic permeability that might be encountered in naturally occurring permeable media is unknown. Samples with permeability variations will exhibit spatial variations in fluid velocity. Such variations may significantly affect associated physical phenomena, such as biological activity, dispersion and colloidal transport. Spatial variations in the porosity and permeability, if not taken into account, can adversely affect the determination of any associated properties, including multiphase flow functions [16]. 

Figure 5 shows examples of two dry powder inhalers, the Turbuhaler and the Diskus, currently marketed in the United States for the delivery of the steroids, budesonide and fluticosone, respectively. Table 6 shows the major elements of a number of passive dry powder inhalers. In addition to the commercially available passive inhalation products, a number of active dispersion systems are under development the key characteristics of selected devices are shown in Table 7.

Three different ways have been developed to produce nanoparticle of PE-surfs. The most simple one is the mixing of polyelectrolytes and surfactants in non-stoichiometric quantities. An example for this is the complexation of poly(ethylene imine) with dodecanoic acid (PEI-C12). It forms a solid-state complex that is water-insoluble when the number of complexable amino functions is equal to the number of carboxylic acid groups [128]. Its structure is smectic A-like. The same complex forms nanoparticles when the polymer is used in an excess of 50% [129]. The particles exhibit hydrodynamic diameters in the range of 80-150 nm, which depend on the preparation conditions, i.e., the particle formation is kinetically controlled. Each particle consists of a relatively compact core surrounded by a diffuse corona. PEI-C12 forms the core, while non-complexed PEI acts as a cationic-active dispersing agent. It was found that the nanoparticles show high zeta potentials (approximate to +40 mV) and are stable in NaCl solutions at concentrations of up to 0.3 mol l-1. The stabilization of the nanoparticles results from a combination of ionic and steric contributions. A variation of the pH value was used to activate the dissolution of the particles.

The reactivity profiles shown by the samples suggest on their own that copper-ceria interactions lead to a large promotion of CO oxidation. The activity observed for CuA can be interpreted in terms of the formation of important amounts of more active [12] metallic copper by interaction of the catalyst with the reactant mixture, as evidenced by the FTIR experiment of Figure 6b, for a temperature close to 573 K. At lower temperature, the presence of less active dispersed Cu ions [17] or of smaller amounts of reduced copper entities leads to low activity levels for this sample. The important decrease of isoconversion temperatures observed already upon addition of a relatively small amount of ceria must be due to changes in the nature of the active centers and/or in the reaction mechanism involved.

Many microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, yeasts and algae, lack active dispersal mechanism. They rely on external mechanical forces for their liberation into the atmosphere. 

Two mains reduction processes are detected by H2 TPR. The first one, at low temperature, shows two overlapped peaks of hydrogen consumption, respectively assigned to the reduction of metal oxides (T= 251°C), and to active dispersed Ce02 in interaction with precious metals (T= 314°C). The second reduction process is related to bulk Ce02 reduction and leads to a consumption of H2 at temperatures higher than 400°C.

For three decades, rinse cycle fabric softeners were essentially 3-8 wt% active dispersions [22], which were considered regular strength. In the past 10-15 years, a market for less bulky, more concentrated products has emerged as a result of the desire to cut packaging and transportation costs, reduce the shelf-space, and utilize smaller, easier-to-handle containers. Section 9.6 discusses the concentrated rinse cycle fabric softeners.
