The importance of proper RO membrane selection has already been discussed. A review of commercially available RO membranes revealed five different basic membranes that could provide organic recovery. Cellulose acetate and cellulose acetate blends, aromatic polyamide, polyamide thin-film composite, cross-linked polyimine thin-film composite (FT-30), and polybenzimidazole were available when this work was performed. Only the first four types were commercially available. All membranes were available with excellent salt rejection (>97 sodium chloride). Two types of membranes, cellulose acetate and FT-30, have shown short-term (<2-months intermittent use) resistance... 

Fugacity and activity are basically compositional terms. In ideal solutions they are not necessary pressure and various composition terms can be directly linked to the Gibbs energy. Real solutions have a variety of intermolecular forces, so that ideal solution models need correction factors. These corrections can be made either to the composition terms (fugacity and activity coefficients) or to the thermodynamic potentials (excess functions), and efforts to model these correction factors in mathematical terms have always been, and likely always will be, an important research field. 

Fibers. The principal type of phenoHc fiber is the novoloid fiber (98). The term novoloid designates a content of at least 85 wt % of a cross-linked novolak. Novoloid fibers are sold under the trademark Kynol, and Nippon Kynol and American Kynol are exclusive Hcensees. Novoloid fibers are made by acid-cataly2ed cross-linking of melt-spun novolak resin to form a fuUy cross-linked amorphous network. The fibers are infusible and insoluble, and possess physical and chemical properties that distinguish them from other fibers. AppHcations include a variety of flame- and chemical-resistant textiles and papers as weU as composites, gaskets, and friction materials. In addition, they are precursors for carbon fibers. 

The three historical approaches to certification mentioned above were recently expanded to identily seven modes that are used at NIST for value assignment for chemical composition (May et al. 2000). These seven modes and the resulting values are summarized in Table 3.13. The basic principles of value assignment remain unchanged however, these modes now provide a well-defined link between the process used for value assignment and the definition of the assigned value (i.e. certified, reference, or information value). The terms described above provide a clear indication of the level of confidence that NIST has in the accuracy of the assigned value. The definition of a certified value implies that NIST must be involved in the measurement process for the value to be classified as a NIST certified value (see modes 1-3 in Table 3.13). Thus, modes 4 and 7, which do not involve NIST measure-... 

A layer of tetrahedra can be considered as being built up by linking parallel chains. That this is not a mere formalism is shown by the existence of intermediate stages. Two linked silicate chains result in a ribbon of the composition [Si4Of ] it has two kinds of tetrahedra, one kind being joined via three and the other kind via two vertices, [SiO Oj SiOj/jOj ]3 Silicates of this type are termed amphiboles. They are fibrous and also used to be used as asbestos.

If the activity of the catalyst is slowly modified by chemisorption of materials that are not easily removed, the deactivation process is termed poisoning. It is usually caused by preferential adsorption of small quantities of impurities (poisons) present in the feedstream. Adsorption of extremely small amounts of the poison (a small fraction of a monolayer) is often sufficient to cause very large losses in catalytic activity. The bonds linking the catalyst and poison are often abnormally strong and highly specific. Consequently, the process is often irreversible. If the process is reversible, a change in the temperature or the composition of the gas to which it is exposed may be sufficient to restore catalyst... 

A8. The Helmholtz elastic free energy relation of the composite network contains a separate term for each of the two networks as in eq. 5. However, the precise mathematical form of the strain dependence is not critical at small deformations. Although all the assumptions seem to be reasonably fulfilled, a simpler method, which would require fewer assumptions, would obviously be desirable. A simpler method can be used if we just want to compare the equilibrium contribution from chain engangling in the cross-linked polymer to the stress-relaxation modulus of the uncross-linked polymer. The new method is described in Part 3. 

The challenge for modeling the water balance in CCL is to link the composite, porous morphology properly with liquid water accumulation, transport phenomena, electrochemical kinetics, and performance. At the materials level, this task requires relations between composihon, porous structure, liquid water accumulation, and effective properhes. Relevant properties include proton conductivity, gas diffusivihes, liquid permeability, electrochemical source term, and vaporizahon source term. Discussions of functional relationships between effective properties and structure can be found in fhe liferafure. Because fhe liquid wafer saturation, 5,(2)/ is a spatially varying function at/o > 0, these effective properties also vary spatially in an operating cell, warranting a self-consistent solution for effective properties and performance. 

The clear bottle and window on the left create a crucial link between this advertisement and Dutch painting of the seventeenth century, which is fundamental to my thinking about alchemy in the broadest terms. For the window composition see Cole and Pardo i. 

The gel composition is often described by the terms %T and %C. %T refers to the total content of acrylamide (sum of acrylamide and cross-linking monomer), whereas %C is the part of cross-linking substance (e.g., N,N -methylene bisacrylamide) of monomers.
