A soil must be not only permeable but also relatively homogenous for proper air flow to occur. The air injected into the subsurface will seek the path of least resistance as it migrates away from the well. If a soil is too heterogeneous, large regions of less permeable sou will be left devoid of any air contact (Baker and Benson, 1996). 

With a reactive solvent, the mass-transfer coefficient may be enhanced by a factor E so that, for instance. Kg is replaced by EKg. Like specific rates of ordinary chemical reactions, such enhancements must be found experimentally. There are no generalized correlations. Some calculations have been made for idealized situations, such as complete reaction in the liquid film. Tables 23-6 and 23-7 show a few spot data. On that basis, a tower for absorption of SO9 with NaOH is smaller than that with pure water by a factor of roughly 0.317/7.0 = 0.045. Table 23-8 lists the main factors that are needed for mathematical representation of KgO in a typical case of the absorption of CO9 by aqueous mouethauolamiue. Figure 23-27 shows some of the complex behaviors of equilibria and mass-transfer coefficients for the absorption of CO9 in solutions of potassium carbonate. Other than Henry s law, p = HC, which holds for some fairly dilute solutions, there is no general form of equilibrium relation. A typically complex equation is that for CO9 in contact with sodium carbonate solutions (Harte, Baker, and Purcell, Ind. Eng. Chem., 25, 528 [1933]), which is... 

Guirao and Bach (1979) used the flux-corrected transport method (a finite-difference method) to calculate blast from fuel-air explosions (see also Chapter 4). Three of their calculations were of a volumetric explosion, that is, an explosion in which the unbumed fuel-air mixture is instantaneously transformed into combustion gases. By this route, they obtained spheres whose pressure ratios (identical with temperature ratios) were 8.3 to 17.2, and whose ratios of specific heats were 1.136 to 1.26. Their calculations of shock overpressure compare well with those of Baker et al. (1975). In addition, they calculated the work done by the expanding contact surface between combustion products and their surroundings. They found that only 27% to 37% of the combustion energy was translated into work. 

A series of dinuclear gold(I)-carbene complexes of imidazolium-linked cydo-phanes and related acyclic bis(imidazolium) salts have been synthesized and their spectroscopic properties were examined by Baker and coworkers [31]. X-ray stmctural analysis of the cation in 1 and 2 (Scheme 5.1) revealed intramolecular Au - Au contacts of 3.5425(6) and 3.0485(3) A respectively. The electronic absorption...

In 1977, PCB production was banned in the United States, and its release to the Hudson was stopped. Since 1976, the State of New York has banned aU hshing on the river between Bakers Fall in the Village of Hudson Fall and the Federal Dam at Troy. Most affected has been the commercial striped bass hshery, which once earned New Yorkers 40 million a year. Now the river is no longer suitable for swimming or any water contact sports, and of course, dehnitely not suitable for domestic water supply. The loss of its recreation and water supply revenues is simply too high to be priced. In 1983, the USEPA declared the Hudson River, from Hudson Falls to New York City, one of the Nahon s largest and most complicated Superfund toxic-waste sites. 

A. R. Leeds reported that a soln. of ammonium chloride forms white flecks on standing a couple of years, but it is not clear whether this was not caused by the action of the soln. on the glass. Soln. of ammonium chloride, says G. Gore, are decomposed in contact with finely divided silica. A. Bineau (1838), J. S. Stas (1865), and H. B. Baker (1894) have reported that vessels made of soft, blit not hard, glass are etched by the vapour of ammonium chloride, and F. W. Clarke has found that ammonium chloride exerts a marked action on silicates at about 350° this also is exemplified by J. L. Smith s process for the determination of alkalies in silicates. The corrosive action of ammoniacal vapours on the exposed... 

Sodium hydroxide stock solutions were prepared of three different concentrations, viz., 0.1, 1.0 and 10M. The 0.1 and 1.0M solutions were obtained by diluting Baker reagent grade Dilut-it standardized solutions. The 10M solution was prepared by dilution of 50% Baker Analyzed sodium hydroxide (18.86M). Carbonate free water was used for all dilutions and the solutions were protected from contact with air. 

Activation in C02 is often used on a laboratory scale, but steam activation is generally favoured for the large-scale production of most activated carbons of industrial importance (Baker, 1992). The steam reaction is considerably faster than the carbon dioxide reaction (Wigmans, 1989). Steam activation is normally carried out at temperatures of 750-950°C. Direct contact between oxygen and carbon must be avoided since at these temperatures oxygen would aggressively attack the carbonized material. 

Reagent grade sodium formate from J. T. Baker Chemical Co. was used it was finely ground to ensure better contact. It is imperative that extreme care be taken to ensure anhydrous conditions throughout the procedure, since hydrolysis produces formic and acetic acids, which are very difficult to remove from the product. A slight excess of sodium formate ensures a product free of acetyl chloride. 

Baker et al. (1987, 1988) described a 1.5 A resoludon structure of 2Zn-insulin. They located 282 of the estimated 285 waters per insulin dimer in the crystal. These were distributed among 349 sites 217 of occupancy 1.0 126 of occupancy 0.5 five of occupancy 0.33 and one of occupancy 0.25. There was evidence for ordered water at a distance 8 A from the protein surface. Nearly 100 waters were bonded only to other waters. The extent of order of the water, judged by B values, increased with an increased number of interactions with the protein. The waters bonded to the protein act as anchors for chains of less well-ordered waters, which are often linked by threads of density, possibly representing paths along which the less-ordered waters are found. There were alternate water positions, sometimes collected into networks of partially occupied sites. Cyclic water structures were found. The protein—water contacts showed preferred geometries. Baker et al. (1988) gave particularly elegant descriptions of the crystal water. 

Safety Considerations. N,N-dimethylacetamide is an exceptional contact hazard that may be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin and may be fatal to embryonic life in pregnant females (Baker Chemical Company, N,N-dimethylacetamide, Material Safety Data Sheet, 1985, D5784-01 pp 1-4).
