And coagulation

The thin dispersion rapidly thickens into a gelled matrix and coagulates into a water-repellent agglomeration that doats on the aqueous medium as the mechanical agitation is continued. The agglomeration is dried gentiy shearing must be avoided. 

Primary blood components iaclude plasma, red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes), and stem cells. Plasma consists of water dissolved proteias, ie, fibrinogen, albumins, and globulins coagulation factors and nutrients. The principal plasma-derived blood products are siagle-donor plasma (SDP), produced by sedimentation from whole blood donations fresh frozen plasma (FFP), collected both by apheresis and from whole blood collections cryoprecipitate, produced by cryoprecipitation of FFP albumin, collected through apheresis and coagulation factors, produced by fractionation from FFP and by apheresis (see Fractionation, blood-plasma fractionation). 

Castor oil may be obtained by cold expression of the decorticated seed. The oil is steamed under vacuum to eliminate odors and coagulate the toxic albumin. Fuller s earth or activated charcoal may be used for further purification. 

The debate as to which mechanism controls particle nucleation continues. There is strong evidence the HUFT and coagulation theories hold tme for the more water-soluble monomers. What remains at issue are the relative rates of micellar entry, homogeneous particle nucleation, and coagulative nucleation when surfactant is present at concentrations above its CMC. It is reasonable to assume each mechanism plays a role, depending on the nature and conditions of the polymerization (26). 

As the water evaporates into steam and passes on to the superheater, soHd matter can concentrate in a boHer s steam dmm, particularly on the water s surface, and cause foaming and unwanted moisture carryover from the steam dmm. It is therefore necessary either continuously or intermittently to blow down the steam dmm. Blowdown refers to the controHed removal of surface water and entrained contaminants through an internal skimmer line in the steam dmm. FHtration and coagulation of raw makeup feedwater may also be used to remove coarse suspended soHds, particularly organic matter. 

Natural Rubber. To obtain natural mbber (NR), the Hevea hrasiliensis tree is tapped for its sap. The off-white sap is collected and coagulated. This process produces a high molecular weight substance which is natural mbber. The principal producing countries are Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, India, China, and Sri Lanka (see Rubber, natural). 

Dispersions to be added to latex must have good storage stabiHty and be compatible with the latex the pH of each should be similar to that of the latex, eg, pH 8.5—11 for ammonia-preserved latex and pH 3.5 for cationic-preserved concentrates. Addition of low pH materials to high pH latex or vice versa generally results in mutual precipitation and coagulation of the suspended mbber particles. 

Latex continues to drip after the initial collection and coagulates naturally in the cup to form cup lump. Coagulum which forms as a film of latex on the tapped cut, called tree lace, or from latex that has dripped onto the ground, called earth scrap, is collected the next day along with the cup lump. Some smallholders may not collect the latex at all, but allow it to coagulate in the cup and collect it as cup lump. AH these methods produce mbber known as field coagulum. 

Elocculants and coagulants are sometimes used as pretreatments before dewatering. The market for flocculants and coagulants for water and wastewater treatment in the United States for 1989 was about 250 million, or 68,000 t, provided by 18 companies. In Europe, 22,000 t of flocculants and coagulants, made by 15 companies, had a market value of 115 million. In Japan, 12 companies made 23,000 t, valued at 184 million (150). 

Table 1 shows the various physical properties for components of eggs (4). Specific gravity of whites, yolks, and whole egg is the same, ie, density is 1035 kg/m (64.6 Ib/ft = 8.63 Ib/gal) for all three types of egg products shown. The viscosity of blended Hquid egg components varies over a wide range of temperatures at temperatures higher than those indicated in Table 1, the protein starts to denature and coagulate, increasing viscosity. 

Vmulsifier Type. The manufacturers of NBR use a variety of emulsifiers (most commonly anionic) for the emulsion polymerisation of nitrile mbber. When the latex is coagulated and dried, some of the emulsifier and coagulant remains with the mbber and affects the properties attained with the mbber compound. Water resistance is one property ia particular that is dependent on the type and amount of residual emulsifier. Residual emulsifer also affects the cure properties and mold fouling characteristics of the mbber.

UltrafiUration is a preferred alternative to the conventional systems of chemical flocculation and coagulation followed by dissolved air flotation. Ultraflltration provides lower capital equipment, installation, and operating costs.

Denaturation is accompanied by changes in both physical and biological properties. Solubility is drastically decreased, as occurs when egg white is cooked and the albumins unfold and coagulate. Most enzymes also lose all catalytic activity when denatured, since a precisely defined tertiary structure is required for their action. Although most denaturation is irreversible, some cases are known where spontaneous renaturation of an unfolded protein to its stable tertiary structure occurs. Renaturation is accompanied by a full recovery of biological activity. 

In summary, the carbonate-cycle program provides preferred precipitation and coagulation reactions to prevent hard scale from forming. Key functions are ...
