To prepare the solution we measure out exactly 0.1500 g of Cu into a small beaker. To dissolve the Cu we add a small portion of concentrated HNO3 and gently heat until it completely dissolves. The resulting solution is poured into a 1-L volumetric flask. The beaker is rinsed repeatedly with small portions of water, which are added to the volumetric flask. This process, which is called a quantitative transfer, ensures that the Cu is completely transferred to the volumetric flask. Finally, additional water is added to the volumetric flask s calibration mark. 

SHica—alumina has been studied most extensively. Dehydrated sHica—alumina is inactive as isomerisation catalyst but addition of water increases activity until a maximum is reached additional water then decreases activity. The effect of water suggests that Brmnsted acidity is responsible for catalyst activity (207). SHica—alumina is quantitatively at least as acidic as 90% sulfuric acid (208). 

After the water and nitrogen oxide are driven off, continued heating drives off vapors of nitric acid, additional water, NO2, and some mercury—metal vapor ... 

Sheet Drying. At a water content of ca 1.2—1.9 parts of water per part of fiber, additional water removal by mechanical means is not feasible and evaporative drying must be employed. This is at best an efficient but cosdy process and often is the production botdeneck of papermaking. The dryer section most commonly consists of a series of steam-heated cylinders. Alternate sides of the wet paper are exposed to the hot surface as the sheet passes from cylinder to cylinder. In most cases, except for heavy board, the sheet is held closely against the surface of the dryers by fabrics of carefuUy controUed permeabiHty to steam and air. Heat is transferred from the hot cylinder to the wet sheet, and water evaporates. The water vapor is removed by way of elaborate air systems. Most dryer sections are covered with hoods for coUection and handling of the air, and heat recovery is practiced in cold climates. The final moisture content of the dry sheet usually is 4—10 wt %. 

When low boiling ingredients such as ethylene glycol are used, a special provision in the form of a partial condenser is needed to return them to the reactor. Otherwise, not only is the balance of the reactants upset and the raw material cost of the resin increased, but also they become part of the pollutant in the waste water and incur additional water treatment costs. Usually, a vertical reflux condenser or a packed column is used as the partial condenser, which is installed between the reactor and the overhead total condenser, as shown in Figure 3. The temperature in the partial condenser is monitored and maintained to effect a fractionation between water, which is to pass through, and the glycol or other materials, which are to be condensed and returned to the reactor. If the fractionation is poor, and water vapor is also condensed and returned, the reaction is retarded and there is a loss of productivity. As the reaction proceeds toward completion, water evolution slows down, and most of the glycol has combined into the resin stmcture. The temperature in the partial condenser may then be raised to faciUtate the removal of water vapor. 

Paper Production and Properties. During the paper production process, the wood pulp is mixed into an aqueous slurry, which is poured onto a continuously moving wire mesh and drained by gravity. Additional water is then squee2ed out of the paper by a felt web pressed from above. This pressed side, referred to as the felt side, has smaller, finer fibers and is therefore smoother. It is also the preferred printing side. 

X 10 , and A3 = 3.0 x 10 . Hydrated arsenic acid loses water when heated at about 100°C with the formation of pyroarsenic acid [13453-15-1/, H4AS2O2. At higher temperatures additional water is lost to yield metaarsenic acid [10102-53-1/, HAsO. Arsenates derived from each of these acids are known. Treatment of a meta- or pyroarsenate with cold water gives the orthoarsenate. 

The more highly complexed hydrates of calcium chloride (CaCl2 nH2 O where n > 2) may also exhibit the characteristics of a Class 2 dryiag agent, because the hydrated species can physically absorb additional water to form a saturated solution. The term absorption is used to describe the phenomenon that occurs when a gas or vapor penetrates the soHd stmcture to produce a saturated solution ... 

Steam. The steam system serves as the integrating energy system in most chemical process plants. Steam holds this unique position because it is an exceUent heat-transfer medium over a wide range of temperatures. Water gives high heat-transfer coefficients whether in Hquid phase, boiling, or in condensation. In addition, water is safe, nonpolluting, and if proper water treatment is maintained, noncorrosive to carbon steel. 

Cooling Wa.ter. The primary rehabihty concern is that water chemistry must be maintained in a low fouling, noncorroding regime. In addition, water flow velocity must be maintained above a certain threshold (ca 0.5 m/s in tubeside flow) to avoid fouling and corrosion. 

Decomposition Flame Arresters Above certain minimum pipe diameters, temperatures, and pressures, some gases may propagate decomposition flames in the absence of oxidant. Special in-line arresters have been developed (Fig. 26-27). Both deflagration and detonation flames of acetylene have been arrested by hydrauhc valve arresters, packed beds (which can be additionally water-wetted), and arrays of parallel sintered metal elements. Information on hydraulic and packed-bed arresters can be found in the Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet G1.3, Acetylene Transmission for Chemical Synthesis. Special arresters have also been used for ethylene in 1000- to 1500-psi transmission lines and for ethylene oxide in process units. Since ethylene is not known to detonate in the absence of oxidant, these arresters were designed for in-line deflagration application. 

Water contamination is a constant threat. The sources of water are many—atmospheric condensation, steam leaks, oil coolers, and reservoir leaks. Rusting of machine parts and the effects of rust particles in the oil system are the major results of water in oil. In addition, water forms an emulsion and, combined with other impurities, such as wear metal and rust particles, acts as a catalyst to promote oil oxidation.

Nearly all materials that are added to a cement slurry require the addition of additional water to the slurry. Table 4-160 gives the additional requirements for the various cement additives [167]. 

DlatomaceOUS Earth. Diatomaceous earth has a lower specific gravity than bentonite. Like bentonite this additive also requires additional water to be added to the slurry. This additive will affect the slurry properties similar to the addition of bentonite. However, it will not increase the viscosity as bentonite will do. Diatomaceous earth concentrations as high as 40% by weight of cement have been used. This additive is more expensive than bentonite. 

Ilmenite. This additive has a specific gravity of about 4.67. It is a mineral composed of iron, titanium and oxygen. It requires no additional water to be added to the slurry thus, it can yield slurry specific weights as high as the hematite additive. Ilmenite also has mineral effect on thickening time and compressive strength of the cement.
