As originally introduced. Electrostatic Bell Process 2 was used primarily with solvent-based coating materials. The bells were rotated at the lowest possible rate consistent with obtaining good atomization of these materials because it was desired that the mechanical forces acting on the sprayed particles be held to a minimum. Rotation rates were on the order of 1800-3600 rpm. With the recent advent of high solids and waterborne materials that are much harder to atomize, it has become necessary to increase the rotation speed of the bells. Most bells used with this system today are rotated at 20,000-30,000 rpm. This Increase does increase the size of the spray pattern emitted from the bell but does not materially decrease the overall transfer efficiency on those applications where the arrangement of the equipment has been made with this fact in mind. 

As with all electrostatic systems, the object being coated with Bell Process 2 must be established as one electrode in the collection field. It must therefore have sufficient electrical conductivity to carry to ground the charge brought to it by the deposited coating material particles. As a result, this process finds its broadest use in the coating of metallic items. In. pa those cases where the process is used to coat items made of wood, plastic, or other nonconductors, the material must be somehow treated to render it conducting. 

A large boiler was cleaned with the two-stage Alfano process, using 7500 lb (3375 kg) of citric acid, 3000 gal (11,355 L) of ammonium hydroxide, and an inhibitor. Atotal of 1560 lb (702 kg) of iron and 30 lb (13.5 kg) of copper were removed. The use of the corrosion inhibitor is significant because neither the Alfano nor Bell patents mention the use of an inhibitor. In fact, one advantage of the neutral-pH Bell process is lower corrosion rates than those found with iow-pH ammonium citrate. A number of boiler tubes were cleaned in a lab loop. Ammonium citrate was included. The major result was that ammonium citrate required a velocity of at least 1 ft/s (0.3 m/s) to adequately clean that boiler tube. 

Plants were built in France and Holland by the end of the 17 century with the Glauber teehnology. One of the largest plants to manufacture sulfuric acid from elemental sulfur by the Bell process was the Great Vitriol Works at Twickenham. The Twickenham plant was owned by Joshua ( Spot ) Ward (1685 - 1761),... 

Catalysis started to be known in the first decades of the nineteenth century (see Tables 1.2 and 1.3). Although the earlier literature contains several reports of reactions that in hindsight must have been catalytic, these results played no role in the development of catalysis as a scientific discipline. In fact, the first catalytic process was already started around 1740. It was the Bell process for the production of sulfuric acid, in which SO2 is oxidized by NO2 to SO3 and NO, while air regenerates NO to NO2. Although the process represents an application of homogeneous catalysis, it is doubtful whether anyone appreciated the catalytic nature of the reaction in the eighteenth century.

In this review we put less emphasis on the physics and chemistry of surface processes, for which we refer the reader to recent reviews of adsorption-desorption kinetics which are contained in two books [2,3] with chapters by the present authors where further references to earher work can be found. These articles also discuss relevant experimental techniques employed in the study of surface kinetics and appropriate methods of data analysis. Here we give details of how to set up models under basically two different kinetic conditions, namely (/) when the adsorbate remains in quasi-equihbrium during the relevant processes, in which case nonequilibrium thermodynamics provides the needed framework, and (n) when surface nonequilibrium effects become important and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics becomes the appropriate vehicle. For both approaches we will restrict ourselves to systems for which appropriate lattice gas models can be set up. Further associated theoretical reviews are by Lombardo and Bell [4] with emphasis on Monte Carlo simulations, by Brivio and Grimley [5] on dynamics, and by Persson [6] on the lattice gas model.

In 1957, Townes developed the equation that showed that this same process could also obtain much smaller wavelengths (in the infrared and visible light range). Townes collaborated with Aithur Schawlow, a research assistant in his laboratoiy from 1949 to 1951, who then moved on to become a physicist at Bell Labs where Townes was still doing consulting work. Wlien he was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia, Schawlow met Aurelia, Townes younger sister, who had come there to study singing. Soon the two married.

To a certain extent, the formation of the tetrabasic variant is desired, because 4PbO PbS04 forms fairly large crystals when transformed into lead dioxide (PbO,). This results in a mechanically stable active material, but there are disadvantages, because it is more difficult to transform this material into lead dioxide, i.e., the formation process (see below) is more expensive (and takes longer) and the initial capacity is slightly reduced (cf., e.g., Ref. [19]. For "long-life batteries" (Bell systems cell), a special process has been developed to produce pure tetrabasic material [20].
