Cells containing sodium

Chlorine and hypochlorite thus obtained are traditional oxidizing agents of organic pollutants. Chlorine dioxide is another known oxidant for water treatment, which can be generated in divided cells containing sodium chlorite or sodium chlorate. This last compound can also be produced anodically from hypochlorite oxidation ... 

All cells contain sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride ions and it is found that the concentration of these ions is different inside the cell compared to the outside. The concentration of potassium inside the cell is larger than the surrounding medium, whereas the concentration of sodium and chloride ions is smaller. Thus, a concentration gradient exists across the membrane. 

Viscose is a solution of cellulose xanthate in caustic soda. This solution can be processed into rayon or cellophane. The production of viscose consists of two steps. First, certain forms of cellulose, mainly from sulfite pulp and cotton linters, are reacted with pure caustic soda. This reaction converts the -OH groups on the cellulose unit to -ONa. The caustic soda must be pure and is obtained from mercury cells. Caustic soda from diaphragm cells contains sodium chloride which makes it unusable without purification. This solution must be aged for 2-3 days. Aging reduces the length of the cellulose chain which makes it easier to dissolve into caustic soda. The second step involves the reaction of the alkali cellulose and carbon disulfide in excess caustic soda. The net reaction of viscose is ...

In order to circumvent the limited possibilities of the original Volta pile, the following period saw the development of other battery systems in which special oxidizers were introduced. In 1836, J. F. Daniell (1796-1845) developed a cell with an oxidizer in the form of copper ions in a copper sulfate solution. Cells with the use of nitric acid as oxidizer were developed in 1838 by W. R. Grove (1811-1896) and in 1841 by R. Bunsen (1811-1899). Cells containing sodium bichromate dissolved in sulfuric acid were developed in 1843 by Ch. Poggendorff (1824-1876) and in 1856 by Grenet. 

A single-mode laser beam with a Gaussian profile (w = 1 mm) and a power of 10 mW, tuned to the center coq of the sodium line (3 5 i/2 3 Pi/2) passes through a cell containing sodium vapor at p = 10" mbar at a temperature of 450 K. The absorption cross section is o-abs = 5 x 10" cm, the natural linewidth... 

The optical schematic is shown in Fig. 2. The single frequency ring dye laser is typically tuned to the crossover lines of the Doppler-free saturation cell containing sodium vapor. A wideband electro-optic modulator (e.o.) similar to the ones made by Ertmer, et al, [3] and Devoe and Brewer [15] is used to generate sidebands at 856.2 MHz, which corresponds to one half of the frequency difference between 35, 2, F = 2 to 3Pj,2, F = 3 transition and the 3S j, F = 1 to 3Pi,i, F = 2 transitions in sodium. Approximately two-thirds of the laser... 

When the yellow light from a sodium lamp is focussed into an evacuated cell containing sodium vapour in equilibrium with the metal, only a little stray light due to reflection will be seen when the cell is cold. However, at... 

Water from screens, cleaners, washers, thickeners, and flotation cells contain relatively high levels of ink. These waters also contain valuable chemicals, ie, sodium hydroxide and surfactants. Recycle of this water can save up to 10% ia chemical costs. 

Sodium does not form alloys with aluminum but is used to modify the grain stmcture of aluminum—silicon alloys and aluminum—copper alloys for improved machinabiUty. Sodium—gold alloy is photoelectricaHy sensitive and may be used ia photoelectric cells. A sodium—2iac alloy, containing 2 wt % sodium and 98 wt % 2iac, is used to deoxidi2e other metals.

A prerequisite of long-life sodium/sulfur batteries is that the cells contain suitable corrosion-resistant materials which withstand the aggressively corrosive environment of this high—temperature system. Stackpool and Maclachlan have reported on investigations in this field [17], The components in an Na/S cell are required to be corrosion-resistant towards sodium, sulfur and especially sodium polysulphides. Four cell components suffer particularly in the Na/S environment the glass seal, the anode seal, the cathode seal, and the current collector (in central sodium arrangements, the cell case).

Cells were preincubated for 10 min at 37°C in regular buffer containing no additions (o), or containing sodium sulfate ( ), sodium HEPES ( ), or sucrose ( ) to increase the osmotic strength. Cells were treated with cyto-chalasin B (5 arid FMLP (10" M) and p-glucuronidase was...
