The Winsor II microemulsion is the configuration that has attracted most attention in solvent extraction from aqueous feeds, as it does not affect the structure of the aqueous phase the organic extracting phase, on the other hand, is now a W/0 microemulsion instead of a single phase. The main reason for the interest in W/0 microemulsions is that the presence of the aqueous microphase in the extracting phase may enhance the extraction of hydrophilic solutes by solubilizing them in the reverse micellar cores. However, this is not always the case and it seems to vary with the characteristics of the system and the type of solute. Furthermore, in many instances the mechanism of extraction enhancement is not simply solubilization into the reverse micellar cores. Four solubilization sites are possible in a reverse micelle, as illustrated in Fig. 15.6 [19]. An important point is that the term solubilization does not apply only to solute transfer into the reverse micelle cores, but also to insertion into the micellar boundary region called the palisade. The problem faced by researchers is that the exact location of the solute in the microemulsion phase is difficult to determine with most of the available analytical tools, and thus it has to be inferred. 

To construct the multidimensional boxes, a training set of samples with known class ideniit) is obtained. The training set is divided into separate sets, one for each class, and principal components are calculated separately for each of the classes. The number of relevant principal components (rank) is determined for each class and the SIMCA models are completed by defining boundary regions for each of the PCA models. 

The x-ray data presented in Figure 9 permit an estimation of the hydrogen composition at the 0 = 7 phase boundary via determination of the lattice parameter of the bcc 0-phase obtained on samples examined in the two-phase region. These results are included in Table V. The accuracy of these data are sufficient to conclude that the composition of 0-max (i.e., the maximum hydrogen composition exhibited by the single 0-phase) decreases with molybdenum content. This result agrees qualitatively with the data presented in Figure 7. 

The availability of oxygen at the phase boundaries therefore determines decisively the value of the reaction rate constant. Since interfaces are often regions of high dif-fusivity, it may be difficult in practice to decide whether Eqn. (6.30) or Eqn. (6.32) applies. 

Fig. 13.20. Here, at distances from each core less than d/2, the diffusion into each core is taken to be cylindrical. Beyond this distance, the diffusion into the boundary as a whole along x is taken to be planar (one-dimensional). At the surface of the core (i.e., the core radius of the dislocation, r = R0), the equilibrium vacancy concentration is negligible compared with the high concentration, c, at the large distance, L. Therefore, c(r = R0) = 0. Assume a quasi-steady state in the boundary region. The concentration at x = d/2 will then take on an intermediate value, c, which can be determined. The total diffusion current into the boundary can then be determined.

The phase behaviour of PEO PBO has recently been determined in detail, including the effect of addition of the salt K2S04 (Deng et al. 1995). Increasing the concentration of aqueous K2S04 reduces the upper sol-gel transition as shown in Fig. 4.15 however, it has a much weaker effect on the lower gel boundary. This is because the effect of salt in reducing the micellar expansion factor (<5t) is compensated at the lower boundary by more favourable conditions for formation of micelles in the poorer solvent (i.e, a lower cmc) whereas no such compensation is possible at the upper boundary. Regions of clear and cloudy,... 

Similar calculations were also performed in the strong segregation limit. In this case, the two-phase and disordered homogeneous regions were found to be smaller, and the phase boundaries were more vertical (see Fig. 6.49) (Shi and Noolandi 1995). This phase diagram was interpreted on the basis of interfacial curvature. If the diblocks are completely segregated, the phase boundaries are determined by the total composition / (=

phase boundaries are parallel to this line (dashed line sloping to the left in Fig. 6.49) ( one-component approximation ). This explains the approximately parallel... 

Parsons and Zobel plot — In several theories for the electric - double layer in the absence of specific adsorption, the interfacial -> capacity C per unit area can formally be decomposed into two capacities in series, one of which is the Gouy-Chapman (- Gouy, - Chapman) capacity CGC 1/C = 1 /CH + 1 /CGC. The capacity Ch is assumed to be independent of the electrolyte concentrations, and has been called the inner-layer, the - Helmholtz, or Stern layer capacity by various authors. In the early work by Stern, Ch was attributed to an inner solvent layer on the electrode surface, into which the ions cannot penetrate more recent theories account for an extended boundary region. In a Parsons and Zobel plot, Ch is determined by plotting experimental values for 1/C vs. 1/Cgc- Specific adsorption results in significant deviations from a straight line, which invalidates this procedure. 

It has been shown that there exists a continuous change in the physical behavior of the turbulent momentum boundary layer with the distance from the wall. The turbulent boundary layer is normally divided into several regions and sub-layers. It is noted that the most important region for heat and mass transfer is the inner region of the boundary layer, since it constitutes the major part of the resistance to the transfer rates. This inner region determines approximately 10 — 20% of the total boundary layer thickness, and the velocity distribution in this region follows simple relationships expressed in the inner variables as defined in sect 1.3.4. 

According to the space charge membrane model potassium ions are solubilized by the ligand in the boundary region of the membrane, while hydrophilic anions such as chloride ions are remaining in the solution phase. The concentration of the BME-44 potassium complex within the membrane bulk is determined by the low concentration of the fixed sites ° (to fulfil electroneutrality), which are evenly distributed in the membrane bulk. This fact causes a steep concentration profile for the BME-44 potassium complex in the subsurface membrane region which could be followed with the FTIR-ATR-technique. ...
