Nominal concentration

The NaHSOg was analyzed by iodine titration and was typically 97-98% of the expected SO2 content. Several of the solutions used for vapor/liquid equilibrium experiments were analyzed for total SO2 and found to contain 5 to 10% less than the nominal concentration. Nominal concentrations were used in presenting and analyzing the data, unless noted otherwise. Therefore, correlated values of Pgc may he 5 to 10% low for a given solution composition. 

The leaching reactions and the distribution of the various anionic uranyl species are very dependent on the pH value of the leach liquor and on the sulfate or carbonate concentration. Nominally, only the anionic di- and tri-sulfate or carbonate species will exchange with the functional groups of an anion-exchange resin, but the resin itself can facilitate the formation of complex anions in the resin phase because of the high concentration (approximately 0.5 M) of the co-ion on the functional group. Therefore, a complex equilibrium is established in which the resin is a participant the following reactions describe these equilibria for sulfuric acid leach liquors ... 

In addition, the results can also be used to calculate the mean recovery % as (the ratio of measured concentration/nominal concentration) 100 and its standard devia-... 

Each laboratory submitted data of four replicates at each concentration (nominal mean) of 50, 100, and 200 fig/kg collected under repeatability conditions. 

Spike calibration 2% relative standard deviation (RSD) was assumed. This value is very conservative, but it is based on a combination of replicate spike calibrations and an additional component to allow for uncertainties in the standard solutions used for calibration. When using three Ru solutions from three different companies, three significantly different Ru concentrations were obtained for the spike, despite the certified and traceable PGE concentrations (nominal 10 pg ml ) that they were supposed to have. 

In several generating banks inspected, a number of tubes have been found with eccentricity exceeding 1,0 mm and in one extreme case 2,0 mm, or 40 % of the nominal wall thickness was noted. A conceptual diagram of tire cross section of a concentric tube and a simulated plot of the wall thickness scan is presented in figure 3. The scan presented in figure 2 is a relatively concentric tube less than 0,2 mm of wall variation. 

Aqueous Solution Viscosity. A special solution preparation method is used for one type of measurement of aqueous solution viscosity (96). The appropriate amount of poly(ethylene oxide) resin is dispersed in 125 mL of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol by vigorous stirring. Because the resin is insoluble in anhydrous isopropyl alcohol, a slurry forms and the alcohol wets the resin particles. An appropriate amount of water is added and stirring is slowed to about 100 rpm to avoid shear degradation of the polymer. In Table 4, the nominal resin concentration reported is based on the amount of water present and ignores the isopropyl alcohol. 

Finishers. Magnetic finishing dmms are designed to produce the highest possible iron content in the concentrate. Typically, the feed size has been reduced to a nominal size of —74 fim (—200 mesh) or —44 fim (—325 mesh) in a ball mill circuit. The feed tank and feed arrangement of the finisher separator is usually of the semicountercurrent design. The objective is to disperse the feed particles in order to obtain maximum rejection of nonmagnetic particles. Both 762 and 914 mm dia dmms have been used in finisher appHcations. Dmm covers frequendy are not used in finisher constmction because of the material size.

Hydrolysis of solutions of Ti(IV) salts leads to precipitation of a hydrated titanium dioxide. The composition and properties of this product depend critically on the precipitation conditions, including the reactant concentration, temperature, pH, and choice of the salt (46—49). At room temperature, a voluminous and gelatinous precipitate forms. This has been referred to as orthotitanic acid [20338-08-3] and has been represented by the nominal formula Ti02 2H20 (Ti(OH). The gelatinous precipitate either redissolves or peptizes to a colloidal suspension ia dilute hydrochloric or nitric acids. If the suspension is boiled, or if precipitation is from hot solutions, a less-hydrated oxide forms. This has been referred to as metatitanic acid [12026-28-7] nominal formula Ti02 H2O (TiO(OH)2). The latter precipitate is more difficult to dissolve ia acid and is only soluble ia concentrated sulfuric acid or hydrofluoric acid. 

The solubihty coefficient must have units that are consistent with equation 3. In the hterature S has units cc(STP)/(cm atm), where cc(STP) is a molar unit for absorbed permeant (nominally cubic centimeters of gas at standard temperature and pressure) and cm is a volume of polymer. When these units are multiphed by an equihbrium pressure of permeant, concentration units result. In preferred SI units, S has units of nmol /(m GPa). 

The distribution of rods and cones is shown in Figure 3b centered about the fovea, the area of the retina that has the highest concentration of cones with essentially no rods and also has the best resolving capabiUty, with a resolution about one minute of arc. The fovea is nominally taken as a 5° zone, with its central 1° zone designated the foveola. There are about 40 R and 20 G cones for each B cone in the eye as a whole, whereas in the fovea there are almost no B cones. A result of this is that color perception depends on the angle of the cone of light received by the eye. The extremely complex chemistry involved in the stimulation of opsin molecules, such as the rhodopsin of the rods, and the neural connections in the retinal pathway are well covered in Reference 21. 

Shoiild the particles have a tendency to cohere slightly during sedimentation, each sampling time, representing a different nominal detention time in the clarifier, will produce different suspended-sohds concentrations at similar rates. These data can be plotted as sets of cui ves of concentration versus settling rate for each detention time by the means just described. Scale-up will be similar, except that detention time will be a factor, and both depth and area of the clarifier will influence the results. In most cases, more than one combination of diameter and depth will be capable of producing the same clarification result. 

These data may be evaluated by selecting different nominal overflow rates (equivalent to settling rates) for each of the detention-time values, and then plotting the suspended-solids concentrations for each nominal overflow rate (as a parameter) against the detention time. For a specified suspended-sohds concentration in the effluent, a cui ve of overflow rate versus detention time can be prepared from this plot and used for optimizing the design of the equipment. 

Detention efficiency. Conversion from the ideal basin sized by detention-time procedures to an actual clarifier requires the inclusion of an efficiency factor to account for the effects of turbulence and nonuniform flow. Efficiencies vaiy greatly, being dependent not only on the relative dimensions of the clarifier and the means of feeding but also on the characteristics of the particles. The cui ve shown in Fig. 18-83 can be used to scale up laboratoiy data in sizing circular clarifiers. The static detention time determined from a test to produce a specific effluent sohds concentration is divided by the efficiency (expressed as a fraction) to determine the nominal detention time, which represents the volume of the clarifier above the settled pulp interface divided by the overflow rate. Different diameter-depth combinations are considered by using the corresponding efficiency factor. In most cases, area may be determined by factors other than the bulksettling rate, such as practical tank-depth limitations. 

Example 4 Calculation of Sample Weight for Surface Moisture Content An example is given with reference to material with minimal internal or pore-retained moisture such as mineral concentrates wherein physically adhering moisture is the sole consideration. With this simphfication, a moisture coefficient K is employed as miiltipher of nominal top-size particle size d taken to the third power to account for surface area. Adapting fundamental sampling theory to moisture sampling, variance is of a minimum sample quantity is expressed as...
