An Outline

Cadmium is a soft, ductile, bluish white metal. It may be alloyed with lead, tin and bismuth in the manufacture of fusible metals for automatic sprinkler systems, fire alarms and electrical fuses. Cadmium has been used as a control or shielding material in atomic energy plants because of its high absorption of low-energy neutrons. Nickel-cadmium batteries are in common use for specialized purposes, but intensive research is going on in order to develop a more ecofriendly anode material as an alternative to cadmium. 

Cadmium consumption in 2001 was about 16000 tonne (according to the World Bureau of Metal Statistics), 17% less than the previous year. Japan used the metal mainly for NiCd batteries and was the largest consumer country. Belgium and the 

The International Cadmium Association (ICdA) in Brussels, Belgium, made an estimate of cadmium consumption for different end uses in 2001. Batteries account for 75%, pigments 12%, coatings and plating 8%, and stabihzers for plastics and similar purposes 4%. The remaining small amount of cadmium, 1%, is used in some very special applications such as nonferrous alloys and as cadmium telluride (CdTe) for electronic compounds.

Figure 1.3 shows an outline of the analytical approach along with some important considerations at each step. Three general features of this approach deserve attention. First, steps 1 and 5 provide opportunities for analytical chemists to collaborate with individuals outside the realm of analytical chemistry. In fact, many problems on which analytical chemists work originate in other fields. Second, the analytical approach is not linear, but incorporates a feedback loop consisting of steps 2, 3, and 4, in which the outcome of one step may cause a reevaluation of the other two steps. Finally, the solution to one problem often suggests a new problem.

Adsorption Dynamics. An outline of approaches that have been taken to model mass-transfer rates in adsorbents has been given (see Adsorption). Detailed reviews of the extensive Hterature on the interrelated topics of modeling of mass-transfer rate processes in fixed-bed adsorbers, bed concentration profiles, and breakthrough curves include references 16 and 26. The related simple design concepts of WES, WUB, and LUB for constant-pattern adsorption are discussed later. 

An outline of the three basic nonwoven manufacturing systems according to parent technology and the four manufacturing phases common to each is given in Table 1. 

Definiteness. Adequate description or definiteness requites that the patent claims provide an outline of those elements which are integral to the appHcation s invention. In turn, the specification acts as a dictionary wherein the reader can interpret and understand the elements in the patent claims. Complementary to the requirement of definiteness is the requirement that the appHcation must disclose the entire invention. The appHcant cannot make a claim of right to the invention where essential elements of the invention are not disclosed in the patent.
