Bubble lights

Bubble lights May contain a tiny amount of methylene chloride. 

The ease with which small gas bubbles can escape from the liquid phase is determined by the liquid viscosity higher viscosities imply longer residence times. Typical residence times vary from, some 3 minutes for a light crude to up to 20 minutes for very heavy crudes. 

Silver Sulfite. Silver sulfite, Ag2S03, is obtained as a white precipitate when sulfur dioxide is bubbled through a solution of silver nitrate. Silver sulfite is unstable to light and heat, and solutions decompose when boiled. 

Several descriptions have been pubUshed of the continuous tar stills used in the CIS (9—11). These appear to be of the single-pass, atmospheric-pressure type, but are noteworthy in three respects the stills do not employ heat exchange and they incorporate a column having a bubble-cap fractionating section and a baffled enrichment section instead of the simple baffled-pitch flash chamber used in other designs. Both this column and the fractionation column, from which light oil and water overhead distillates, carboHc and naphthalene oil side streams, and a wash oil-base product are taken, are equipped with reboilers. 

At room temperature bismuthine rapidly decomposes into its elements. The rate of decomposition increases markedly at higher temperatures (8). Bismuthine decomposes when bubbled through silver nitrate or alkafl solutions but is unaffected by light, hydrogen sulfide, or 4 sulfuric acid solution. There is no evidence for the formation of BiH, though the phenyl derivative, (C H BU, is known. The existence of BiH would not be anticipated on the basis of the trend found with other Group 15 (V) "onium" ions. 

Small air bubbles also scatter light because the refractive index of air is about 1.0, whereas the refractive index of most polymers is approximately 1.5. Air bubbles in films are sometimes usehil in increasing opacity but the efficiency in scattering light is much less than for mtile Ti02 because the difference in refractive index is much smaller. 

The relative volatiHties Ot) are defined by Eq. (13-33), is the mini-mum-reflux ratio (L v + i/D)min,. nd q describes the thermal condition of the feed (e.g., 1.0 for a bubble-point feed and 0.0 for a saturated-vapor feed). The Xi p values are available from the given feed composition. The 0 is the common root for the top-section equations and the bottom-section equations developed by Underwood for a column at minimum reflux with separate zones of constant composition in each section. The common root value must fall between 06/, and Ot/, where hk and Ik stand for heavy key and light key respectively. The key components are the ones that the designer wants to separate. In the butane-pentane splitter problem used in Example 1, the light key is /1-C4 and the heavy key is i-C. ... 

Auxiliary data are the sizes of bubbles and droplets. These data and the holdups of the two phases are measured by a variety of standard techniques. Interfacial area measurements utihze techniques of transmission or reflection of light. Data on and methods for finding sohi-bihties of gases or the relation between partial pressure and concentration in hquid are also well estabhshecT... 

The most commonly used physical method for long-term eutrophication control in lakes is that of artificial destratification. This method is well tried and understood and uses either jetted water or compressed air bubbles to break down the lake stratification in the summer months. Algal growth is also affected by an increase in circulation. This is due to the artificial shading effect which results from the algae spending less time near the surface and consequently less time in the light. This technique also reduces the redox-dependent phosphorus release from sediments because the sediment surface remains aerobic. 

Sodium acetylide [1066-26-8] M 48.0, was prepd by dissolving Na (23g) in liquid NH3 (IL) and bubbling acetylene until the blue color was discharged (ca 30min) and evapd to dryness [Saunders Org Synth Coll Vol III 416 7955] and is available commercially as a suspension in xylene/light mineral oil. [See entry in Chapter 5.]... 

Now for some practical examples of how phase diagrams are used. In the first, a typical design problem, we find out how solders are chosen for different uses. In the second we look at the high-technology area of microchip fabrication and study the production, by zone refining, of ultra-pure silicon. And lastly, for some light-hearted relief, we find out how bubble-free ice is made for up-market cocktails.
