Carbon dispersion

While direct electron transfer to laccases may help elucidate the mechanism of action of these enzymes it is unlikely that this process will supply sufficient power for a viable implantable biocatalytic fuel cell, because of difficulties associated with the correct orientation of the laccase and the two-dimensional nature of the biocatalytic layer on the surface. However, a recent attempt to immobilize laccase in a carbon dispersion, to provide electrodes with correctly oriented laccase for direct electron transfer, and a higher density of electrode material shows promise [53],...

When the treated water pH exceeds 9.4 to 9.6, the use of carbon dioxide to recarbonate the water is recommended. Alternatives include the use of sulfuric acid dosing, or a suitable chemical additive such as a threshold treatment or a calcium carbonate dispersant.

This study investigated the role of colloid particles with or without carbonates dispersed from lime-stabilized biosolids to mediate the transport of associated metals through intact soil monoliths in laboratory leaching experiments. The biosolid colloids were applied to undisturbed soil monoliths of a Maury soil under steady rate (2.2 cm/lr1) gravity flow conditions. Deionized water spiked with metals at levels similar to the total load (soluble plus sorbed) carried by the colloids was used as a control leaching treatment. The eluents were monitored for colloid, Cu, Zn, and Pb breakthrough concentrations.

The combined active biomass of all primary producers acts as a gigantic pump that concentrates inorganic carbon dispersed in both the atmosphere and hydrosphere and deposits it in the reduced organic form, (CH20) . A comparison between the average contents (%w/w) of carbon in the atmosphere (0.03), hydrosphere (0.0014) and lithosphere (0.16), as opposed to that of the biosphere (24.9), impressively illustrates the efficiency of the biological carbon pump (see Deevey, 1970). 

Pig iron is iron with about 4.3% carbon in it. The carbon lowers the metal s melting point and makes it easier to shape. To produce pig iron, iron(III) oxide is combined with carbon and oxygen at high temperature. Three changes then take place to form molten iron with carbon dispersed in it. Write a balanced equation, without including states, for each of these changes ...

Carbon dispersed in liquid alkali metals is hydrided by the reaction with dissolved hydrogen or hydrides to evolve methane. Some reactions of non-metals dissolved in the molten metals are important for the compatibility of materials with the alkali metals. Transition metals are almost insoluble in molten alkali metals. Their solubilities can be considerably raised by dissolved non-metals. Several metals of the fourth and fifth group form one or more intermetallic compounds with alkali metals. 

Cairns and Neustadter (1975) studied the stability of carbon dispersions stabilized by BP 45, a copolymer of methacrylic esters for which R in the ester group -COOR could be the straight chain C4 or Cg-iz alkyl groups, or the amino substituted ethyl group -CH2CH2NH2. They also studied the stabilizer PV30-TEPA, a succinimide terminated poly(isobutylene). Flocculation was induced by the addition of ethanol to the dispersion medium, which was n-heptane. Their results, which compare the CFVs with the 0-compositions determined by the method of Comet and van Ballegooijen (1966), are presented in Table 9.1.

This method requires gas inerting of the vessel pit in the event of dismantling with metallic sodium. This increases the risk of carbonate dispersal to very probable when dismantling with sodium carbonate and completely excludes underwater dismantling.
