Conditioning liquids

Surface-active substances (SAS) are the most widespread contaminants of sewage and natural waters. They translate in small dispertion condition liquid and firm polluting substances - chlororganic, mineral oils, pesticides. Therefore, the SAS contents determination in water solutions is now one of actual tasks of analytical chemistry. 

In order to establish safe values for velocity-diameter product, various studies have been made to determine the minimum liquid surface potential that will result in an incendive discharge in the presence of a grounded electrode. Studies reviewed in [8] showed that for credible charging conditions, liquids must be negatively charged to yield incendive bmsh discharges. The consensus has been that to avoid incendive discharges the maximum liquid... 

Mists and Sprays - There are numerous industrial chemical operations which involve liquid-in-gas dispersions. These operations generate mists and sprays that consist of particles in diameter ranges of 0.1 to 5,000 fim. Engineers most commonly encounter spray droplets which are particles often formed unintentionally in chemical plant operations. For example, vapors or fumes may condense onto piping, ducts, or stack walls. Under such conditions liquid films form. 

Liquid feedstocks for olefin production are light naphtha, full range naphtha, reformer raffinate, atmospheric gas oil, vacuum gas oil, residues, and crude oils. The ratio of olefins produced from steam cracking of these feeds depends mainly on the feed type and, to a lesser extent, on the operation variables. For example, steam cracking light naphtha produces about twice the amount of ethylene obtained from steam cracking vacuum gas oil under nearly similar conditions. Liquid feeds are usually... 

Retention is usually measured in units of time for convenience. Voliime units are more exact. Table 1.1, after suitable corrections have been applied (26). Under average chromatographic conditions liquids can be considered incompressible, but not so for gases, and in gas chromatography elution volumes are corrected to a mean column pressure by multiplying them by the gas compressibility factor, j, equation (1.2)...

Phase transfer catalysis can be conducted under liquid-liquid conditions, liquid-solid conditions, or liquid-liquid-solid triphasic conditions. 

For all catalysts, the hydrogenation mechanism performed under our conditions (liquid phase and low hydrogen pressure) is consistent with an Horiuti-Polanyi mechanism. We found that the phenylacetylene (PhAc) hydrogenation reaction was zero order with respect to hydrocarbon reactants up to 80% of conversion, in agreement with several other studies devoted to the hydrogenation of polyunsaturated compounds." ...

When the hydrogenation of citral is performed with supported nanoparticles of rhodium metal, for example Rh/Si02 under classical conditions [liquid phase, rhodium dispersion 80% (particles in the range of 1-2nm), citral/Rhs = 200, P(ti2) = 80bar, T = 340 K], the catalytic activity is very high but most of the above products are obtained and the reaction is totally non-selective, even if the major product was citronellal. 

Droplet Dispersion. The primary feature of the dispersed flow regime is that the spray contains generally spherical droplets. In most practical sprays, the volume fraction of the liquid droplets in the dispersed region is relatively small compared with the continuous gas phase. Depending on the gas-phase conditions, liquid droplets can encounter acceleration, deceleration, collision, coalescence, evaporation, and secondary breakup during their evolution. Through droplet and gas-phase interaction, turbulence plays a significant role in the redistribution of droplets and spray characteristics.

Starch-free BSG was subjected to reaction with water (autohydrolysis) in a 2-L stainless steel Parr reactor model 4532 (Moline, IL), to cause the hydrolytic degradation of hemicelluloses, operating under optimized conditions (liquid-to-solid ratio of 8 1 [w/w], standard heating temperature profile up to 190°C, isothermal reaction at 190°C for 2.5 min) (2). After the reactor was cooled down, the oligosaccharide-containing liquor (OCL) was separated from the residual solid by filtration (Whatman no. 1 filter paper).

Micellar solutions are isotropic microstructured fluids which form under certain conditions. At other conditions, liquid crystals periodic in at least one dimension can form. The lamellar liquid crystal phase consists of periodically stacked bilayers (a pair of opposed monolayers). The sheetlike surfactant structures can curl into long rods (closing on either the head or tail side) with parallel axes arrayed in a periodic hexagonal or rectangular spacing to form a hexagonal or a rectangular liquid crystal. Spherical micelles or inverted micelles whose centers are periodically distributed on a lattice of cubic symmetry form a cubic liquid crystal. 

In addition, to find a suitable mechanism for an energy-efficient electron transfer that avoids overpotentials, the technical feasibility of C02 conversion to fuels from the exploitation perspective depends on the possibility of forming under solventless conditions liquid fuels such as long-chain hydrocarbons and/or alcohols, which can... 

Dissociation of Steam.—From physico-chemical considerations it is probable that even under ordinary conditions liquid water contains an exceedingly minute though definite proportion of uncombined hydrogen and oxygen in equilibrium with the compound molecules. This state of equilibrium is outside the scope of experimental detection unless disturbed in some -way, as by the influence of ultra-violet light, when the decomposition may become appreciable.

It is clear that for operators the application rate of the pesticide, relevant meteorological conditions, liquid pressure at the nozzle, geometry of crop and application equipment are very important variables (van Hemmen, 1992a). Furthermore, work methods and hygienic measures taken by the operator (e.g. wearing of protective clothing) also affect exposure.
