Amount of material required

Amount of material required. It is convenient to employ an arbitrary ratio of 0 10 g. of solid or 0 20 ml. of liquid for 3 0 ml. of solvent. Weigh out 0 10 g. of the finely-powdered solid to the nearest 0 01 g. after some experience, subsequent tests with the same compound may be estimated by eye. Measure out 0-20 ml. of the liquid either with a calibrated dropper (Fig. 11,27, 1) or a small graduated pipette. Use either a calibrated dropper or a graduated pipette to deliver 3 0 ml. of solvent. Rinse the delivery pipette with alcohol, followed by ether each time that it is used. 

The most accurate flow rate control can be achieved by using the loss-in-weight method. The total amount of material required for a downstream process is first added to a tank or hopper scale. As the material is discharged, the loss-in-weight is monitored and used to modulate the discharge valve or gate to achieve the desired flow rate. 

For reagent solutions as defined above (i.e. 1) it is usually sufficient to weigh out approximately the amount of material required, using a watchglass or a plastic weighing container, and then to add this to the required volume of solvent which has been measured with a measuring cylinder. 

By virtue of its inherent accuracy, coulometric titration is very suitable for the determination of substances present in small amount, and quantities of the order of 10 7-1(U5 mole are typical. Larger amounts of material require very long electrolysis times unless an amperostat capable of delivering relatively large currents (up to 2 A) is available. In such cases, a common procedure is to start the electrolysis with a large current, and then to switch to a much lower output as the end point is approached. 

Seeds of lettuce and other species have frequently been used to bioassay for the allelopathic activity of plant exudates (17.18.19). As with the use of cell suspensions, there are certain advantages and disadvantages to this methodology. The experimental simplicity, small amounts of material required and short time frame are certainly attractive qualities. However, species used in such bioassays quite often do not represent the actual target species under consideration. This is especially true when terrestrial crop species are substituted for weeds of aquatic systems. Nevertheless, information obtained from such experiments are often valuable when used in conjunction with results of other assays. 

Surfactants may increase the solubility of the drug via micelle formation, but the amounts of material required to increase solubility significantly are such that at least orally the laxative effects are likely to be unacceptable. The competition between the surfactant micelles and the absorption sites is also likely to reduce any useftd effect and make any prediction of net overall effect difficult. However, if a surfactant has any effect at all, it is likely to be in the realm of agents that help disperse suspensions of insoluble materials and make them available for solution. Natural surfactants, in particular bile salts, may enhance absorption of poorly soluble materials. 

However, in practice it is frequently difficult to obtain results at such low surface concentrations either by direct measurement or by extrapolation. Consequently it is convenient to have an alternative definition in terms of surface covered, e.g., Barrer (3) and Foster (4) take 8 = as the standard state. A knowledge of the amount of material required to complete a monolayer is needed to apply this definition. Where such information is not available, one has to fall back on a definition in terms of so much adsorbate per cubic centimeter or per gram of adsorbent, and this makes interpretation more difficult. The accuracy of the determination will be greater when the heat of adsorption is known for adsorption directly to the standard state rather than as an average over the isotherm as a whole. 

The TPS system is a thermal desorption device. In thermal desorption, heat is used to volatilize organic contaminants. This separates the contaminants from the contaminated media. The technology allows for a significant reduction in the amount of material requiring subsequent treatment or disposal. 

Thermo Nuclean developed the segmented gate system (SGS) to segregate radioactive material from contaminated soil. The SGS is a combined system of conveyors, radiation detectors, software algorithms, and computer controls. The SGS diverts contaminated soil onto a conveyor belt that deposits the soil in a container for disposal or fnrther processing. The developer claims that the system removes minimal amounts of clean soil with the radioactive particles, reducing the amount of material requiring disposal. The SGS is commercially available. 

Prior to the removal of the film from the gel block, samples of liquid were rapidly removed at various temperature levels and their viscosities measured on a Ferranti-Shirley cone plate viscometer at 20°C. The amount of material required fcr each measurement was very small and enough could be obtained by making one pass with a small spoon spatula across the width of the plastisol. At a temperature... 

Despite this large area-to-volume ratio, the amount of material required to give a significant molecular coverage and modification of the interfaces in a typical colloidal dispersion can be quite small, and substantial modification of the overall bulk properties of a colloidal... 

If the mold has been made from a CAD/CAM design, there is often a facility in the package to estimate the volume of material to use. The weights of the smaller and larger parts in a series can be used for gauging the amount of material required. 

To produce through-holes and cavities in a wafer, special forms of lithography are employed. If it is assumed that a roughly constant amount of material requires to be removed from all over the wafer, the creation in one and the same process of both cavities and holes is not feasible. The only chance of achieving this is to perform masking and lithography from both sides and then etch both sides simultaneously. 

Roller investigated the effect of varying container size and amount of material required in determining bulkiness. Bulkiness was determined by tapping each type container until no more material was required to fill it to a predetermined level. These studies indicated that cylindrical... 

The resultant liquid is a mixture of immiscible oil and water, which separate out. Steam distillation is economical in processing large amounts of material, requiring little labour or complex extraction apparatus. A simple industrial steam distillation setup is shown in Figure 4.3.
