A laser pulse strikes the surface of a specimen (a), removing material from the first layer, A. The mass spectrometer records the formation of A+ ions (b). As the laser pulses ablate more material, eventually layer B is reached, at which stage A ions begin to decrease in abundance and ions appear instead. The process is repeated when the B/C boundary is reached so that B+ ions disappear from the spectrum and C+ ions appear instead. This method is useful for depth profiling through a specimen, very little of which is needed. In (c), less power is used and the laser beam is directed at different spots across a specimen. Where there is no surface contamination, only B ions appear, but, where there is surface impurity, ions A from the impurity also appear in the spectrum (d). 

Vitamins. The preparation of heat-sensitive natural and synthetic vitamins (qv) involves solvent extraction. Natural vitamins A and D are extracted from fish Hver oils and vitamin E from vegetable oils (qv) Hquid propane [74-98-6] is the solvent. In the synthetic processes for vitamins A, B, C, and E, solvent extraction is generally used either in the separation steps for intermediates or in the final purification. 

Electrolytic Eefming. Electrolytic refining (26,27), used by Cominco Ltd. (Trad, B.C., Canada) and Cerro de Pasco Corp. (La Oroya, Pern), as weU as by several refineries in Europe and Japan, removes impurities in one step as slimes. The impurities must then be separated and purified. Before the development of the Betterton-KroU process, electrolytic refining was the only practical method of reducing bismuth to the required concentrations.

Fig. 3. Solvent-processing equipment using partial condenser. Level a on the water overflow line to the receiver should be about 3 cm below level b on the solvent-return line. Dimension b—c must be great enough to overcome pressure drop in the vapor piping, condenser, solvent piping, and rotameter. In a 4 m (1000-gaI) ketde, dimension b—c would be at least 1.25 m. The volume of the piping described by the dimension c—d—e should contain twice the volume of dimension b—c, thus providing an adequate Hquid seal against normal ketde operating pressures.

Thus, roasting is avoided. The process, especially amenable to high iron and copper concentrates, has been installed by Cominco, Ltd. (44) at Trad, B.C., Canada, and will be installed at the Kidd Creek Mines, Ltd., plant at Timmins, Ontario. 

Intraparticle mass transport resistance can lead to disguises in selectivity. If a series reaction A — B — C takes place in a porous catalyst particle with a small effectiveness factor, the observed conversion to the intermediate B is less than what would be observed in the absence of a significant mass transport influence. This happens because as the resistance to transport of B in the pores increases, B is more likely to be converted to C rather than to be transported from the catalyst interior to the external surface. This result has important consequences in processes such as selective oxidations, in which the desired product is an intermediate and not the total oxidation product CO2.

Whereas process simulation includes quantitative analysis of a design given the stmcture of the design, process synthesis involves determining the stmcture that will meet the requirements of the design as well as finding the best stmcture for the requirements. For example, if components A, B, C, and D whose relative volatOities were in the order D, C, B, and A were to be separated by distillation for which each column produced a top and a bottom fraction, five schemes of three columns arise as possible stmctures (53) (Fig. 8). 

The rates of many reactions are not represented by application of the law of mass action on the basis of their overall stoichiometric relations. They appear, rather, to proceed by a sequence of first- and second-order processes involving short-lived intermediates which may be new species or even unstable combinations of the reaclants for 2A -1- B C, the sequence could be A -1- B AB followed by A -1- AB C. 

When the structure of a metal changes, it is because there is a driving force for the change. When iron goes from b.c.c. to f.c.c. as it is heated, or when a boron dopant diffuses into a silicon semiconductor, or when a powdered superalloy sinters together, it is because each process is pushed along by a driving force.
