To test whether the full spectral patterns can be used like fingerprints for an overall chemical classification without decomposing the information, we conducted classification studies on whole pollen spectra (corresponding to the examples shown in Fig. 4.1a). 

The classification is done in five steps and can be conducted witln for example, ELECTRAS [9] ... 

Although the size separation/classification methods are adequate in some cases to produce a final saleable mineral product, in a vast majority of cases these produce Httle separation of valuable minerals from gangue. Minerals can be separated from one another based on both physical and chemical properties (Fig. 8). Physical properties utilized in concentration include specific gravity, magnetic susceptibility, electrical conductivity, color, surface reflectance, and radioactivity level. Among the chemical properties, those of particle surfaces have been exploited in physico-chemical concentration methods such as flotation and flocculation. The main objective of concentration is to separate the valuable minerals into a small, concentrated mass which can be treated further to produce final mineral products. In some cases, these methods also produce a saleable product, especially in the case of industrial minerals.

Commercial dryers differ fundamentally by the methods of heat transfer employed (see classification of diyers, Fig. 12-45). These industrial-diyer operations may utihze heat transfer by convection, conduction, radiation, or a combination of these. In each case, however, heat must flow to the outer surface and then into the interior of the solid. The single exception is dielectric and microwave diying, in which high-frequency electricity generates heat internally and produces a high temperature within the material and on its surface. 

As mentioned, nonattainment areas will have to implement different control measures, depending on their classification. Marginal areas, for example, are the closest to meeting the standard. They will be required to conduct an inventory of their ozone-causing emissions and institute a permit program. Nonattainment areas with more serious air quality problems must implement various control measures. The worse the air quality, the more controls areas will have to implement. 

Chapters 10 to 29 consisted of reviews of plastics materials available according to a chemical classification, whilst Chapter 30 rather more loosely looked at plastics derived from natural sources. It will have been obvious to the reader that for a given application plastics materials from quite different chemical classes may be in competition and attempts have been made to show this in the text. There have, however, been developments in three, quite unrelated, areas where the author has considered it more useful to review the different polymers together, namely thermoplastic elastomers, biodegradable plastics and electrically conductive polymers. 

As a whole, the KF — TaF5 system forms melts that are characterized by a decrease in molar volume and increase in molar conductivity, as demonstrated in Fig. 64. This behavior enables classification of the system as a lib-type... 

The great variations among solids make it desirable to And useful classification schemes. Though this topic is taken up much later in the course (Chapter 17), a beginning is provided by a look at the electrical conductivity of solids. 

When we study a solid that does not have the characteristic lustrous appearance of a metal, we find that the conductivity is extremely low. This includes the solids we have called ionic solids sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, silver nitrate, and silver chloride. It includes, as well, the molecular crystals, such as ice. This solid, shown in Figure 5-3, is made up of molecules (such as exist in the gas phase) regularly packed in an orderly array. These poor conductors differ widely from the metals in almost every property. Thus electrical conductivity furnishes the key to one of the most fundamental classification schemes for substances. 

The classification of solid electrolytes is usually based on the ion mainly responsible for the conductivity. There exist ...
