Concentration units condensation

Partition (Distribution) Coefficients In describing the partitioning of a trace element among coexisting phases, we frequently use a partition (distribution) coefficient for a given element, defined as a concentration ratio C2/Cj. Here C is concentration, and the subscripts identify the phases often the normalizing phase is some convenient reservoir, such as a silicate melt, with which several other phases may equilibrate. For noble gases, it is often most convenient to normalize to a gas phase. If the concentrations are expressed in the same units, the distribution coefficient is dimensionless. It is conventional to cite noble gas concentrations in condensed phases in cm3 STP/g, however, and to describe the gas phase by partial... 

By way of review we see from Eq. (3.7.8b) that the equilibrium constant involves products of factors of the following forms (i) the quantities rs(T,P,q ) = Ys T, P, q )a (T, P), which relate to pure condensed phases, (ii) terms involving the activity coefficients yj(T, P,qj), which correct for gross deviations from ideal properties of species making up homogeneous solutions, (iii) terms involving a (7, P), which, by (3.5.17) or (3.5.20), relate to the activities and activity coefficients of jiure j at pressures other than one atmosphere, and (iv) the usual products [j leq that involve concentration units and which constitute the equi-... 

Liquids cause permanent damage to membranes. Therefore, membranes are not used to process saturated feeds. With saturated feeds, as the permeable components are removed from the feed gas stream, the concentrated retentate condenses, forming liquid and damaging the membrane. Saturated feed gas streams are heated to 20°F above their dew point before entering the membrane system to prevent condensation in the unit. 

Thb concentrator unit consbts of the concentrator, condenser, and condensate tanks. The concentrator is an atmular tank having steam heating coib in the inner annular region. The condenser b a coil of 12.7Hiun tubing which b raw Water cooled. The condenser cooling water and conden-... 

Dissolution and condensation may be compared provided that the standard state of the solute is represented by (a) in the vapour state pressure 1 atm temperature T reference state ideal behaviour (b) in the liquid phase single solute in hypothetical liquid state at temperature T reference state infinitely diluted solution [21]. In these conditions the concentration unit is fugacity unit (atmosphere) in the vpaour phase and the mole fraction in the liquid phase. The phase equilibrium constant, K, is then replaced by another constant x given by the equation ... 

For univalent polyelectrolyte charge units and univalent counterions, Oo-sawa (12) argued that the concentrations of condensed and free counterions are related by an appropriate Boltzmann factor ... 

For each mol of urea produced in a total-recycle urea process, one mol of water is formed. It is usually discharged from the urea concentration and evaporation section of the plant. For example, a 1200 t/d plant discharges a minimum of 360 t/d of wastewater. With a barometric condenser in the vacuum section of the evaporation unit, the amount of wastewater is even higher. Small amounts of urea are usually found in wastewaters because of entrainment carry-over. 

Fatty acids derived from animal and vegetable sources generally contain an even number of carbon atoms siace they are biochemically derived by condensation of two carbon units through acetyl or malonyl coenzyme A. However, odd-numbered and branched fatty acid chains are observed ia small concentrations ia natural triglycerides, particularly mminant animal fats through propionyl and methylmalonyl coenzyme respectively. The glycerol backbone is derived by biospeciftc reduction of dihydroxyacetone. 

The potassium combines with the sulfur to form potassium sulfate, which condenses as a soHd primarily in the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) or baghouse. The recovered potassium sulfate is then deUvered to a seed regeneration unit where the ash and sulfur are removed, and the potassium, in a sulfur-free form such as formate or carbonate, is recycled to the MHD combustor. It is necessary also to remove anions such as Cf and E which reduce the electrical conductivity of the generator gas flow. These are present in the coal ash in very small and therefore relatively harmless concentrations. As the seed is recycled, however, the concentrations, particularly of CF, tend to build up and to become a serious contaminant unless removed.
