Crystal elements

Up to 0.4 g/L of the iodine stays in solution and the rest precipitates as crystallized iodine, which is removed by flotation (qv). This operation does not require a flotation agent, owing to the hydrophobic character of the crystallized element. From the flotation cell a heavy pulp, which is water-washed and submitted to a second flotation step, is obtained. The washed pulp is introduced into a heat exchanger where it is heated under pressure up to 120°C to melt the iodine that flows into a first reactor for decantation. From there the melt flows into a second reactor for sulfuric acid drying. The refined iodine is either flaked or prilled, and packed in 50- and 25-kg plastic-lined fiber dmms. 

One, the CLEAR process, was investigated by Duval Corporation near Tucson, Arizona (29). It involves leaching copper concentrated with a metal chloride solution, separation of the copper by electrolysis, and regeneration of the leach solution in a continuous process carried out in a closed system. Elemental sulfur is recovered. Not far from the Duval plant, Cypms Mines Corporation operated a process known as Cymet. Sulfide concentrates undergo a two-step chloride solution leaching and are crystallized to obtain cuprous chloride crystals. Elemental sulfur is removed during this stage of the process. 

In this chapter, general aspects and structural properties of crystalline solid phases are described, and a short introduction is given to modulated and quasicrystal structures (quasi-periodic crystals). Elements of structure systematics with the description of a number of structure types are presented in the subsequent Chapter 7. Finally, both in this chapter and in Chapter 6, dedicated to preparation techniques, characteristic features of typical metastable phases are considered with attention to amorphous and glassy alloys.

Elemental nickel has a face-centered cubic crystal structure. Nickel is a silver-white metal, harder than iron, capable of taking a brilliant polish, malleable and ductile, magnetic below approximately 360°C. When compact, nickel is not oxidized on exposure to air at ordinary temperatures. The metal is soluble in HNO3 (dilute), but becomes passive in concentrated HNO3. The...

Ferrous orthosilicate, iron olivine or Fayalite, Fe2Si04, occurs as tabular rhombs in iron slags, of which it is one of the commonest constituents. Its name is derived from Fayal Island (Azores), where it was first found, although probably even that specimen was originally a lump of slag from a ship s ballast. Its crystal elements are —3... 

The crystal element consisted of a sandwich of four tourmaline disks mounted on a steel shank. (Crystal elements of this type are available from Crystal Research, Inc., 40 Concord Lane, Cambridge, Mass.) This element, supported by an axial shaft, was held in a 6-inch length of /4-inch diameter brass tube (standard %-inch pipe). The upper edge of the element was about 1 mm. below the rim of the tube. The tube was filled under vacuum with a warm mixture of medicinal mineral oil and petroleum jelly, which set into a soft gel on cooling. The gage unit was fastened by a threaded joint in the wall of the detonation tube, with the rim of the gage tube flush with the inside of the detonation tube. 

Calibration. Calibration by three independent methods gave good agreement. The first calibration was made by the manufacturer of the crystal elements, by measuring the electric charge produced when the pressure on the element was suddenly reduced. A similar static calibration was made on the complete gage imits. 

The bis-quarternary ammonium salt has not yet been synthesized, even with a polar solvent (CH3CN). 5a is obtained as colorless crystals. Elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy confirm the considered structure.

Phthalocyanines (Pc) constitute an important class of compounds for the formation of liquid crystals. Elements from groups Ia to Vb of the periodic table can coordinate to the four nitrogen atoms of the phthalocyanine macrocycle, leading to more than 70 types of metallic complex. Small divalent ions are accommodated in the centre of the ring forming a planar, tetracoordinated complex, while heavier ions are situated out of the plane (Figure 6.28). 

Crystal lenses are further subdivided into condenser type lenses " that concentrate a large amount of radiation on a small focal spot and whose spatial resolution in the image plane is about tlie size of the individual diffraction crystals, and the point-to-point focusing type lenses that produce real images of the source as well as a high concentration of photons at the focal point. These focusing point-to-point lenses come in two varieties. They both use crystals that are bent on a radius centered on tlie axis of the lens. One uses normal crystals and gives a focal spot with a diameter equal to tlie radial width of the crystal element. 

More complicated mathematical operations can also be performed using liquid crystal devices. The analogue converter is an example [56] of this. In this, any time-dependent mathematical function can be reconstructed in a liquid crystal element. The diffraction of light by the liquid crystal...

Abstract— One of the most discriminator parameters for all PET scanners systems, is spatial resolution. The dimension and pitch of crystal elements, in scintillator based systems, impose some deteriorative limitation on spatial resolution. Whereas, the detraction in the scintillator size, provide increment on the fraction of gamma rays perpendicularly incident on the surface of the crystal arrangement, causing inter-crystal scattering and parallax error. 

Because of the combined threshold-voltage and rise-time requirements, none of the approaches described here are capable of matrix addressing a high-resolution, high-speed display. Lechner, Marlowe, Nester, and Tults have investigated the application of liquid-crystal matrix displays to television and have concluded that a nonlinear threshold or isolation device, such as a diode or transistor, must be inserted in series with the liquid-crystal element at each matrix intersection to obtain the required speed and legibility for line-at-a-time addressing. 

The optical path of the liquid-crystal tunable filter comprises a series of polarizers and liquid crystal elements whose birefringent properties are electronically controlled. These devices can select wavelengths ranging from the visible to 1100 nm, with a bandwidth as low as 5 nm. The wide, circular aperture makes it particularly attractive as a means to select wavelength regions for transmission to a near-IR camera. 

Another useful solid-state device is an interference filter fabricated from a set of liquid crystals. The birefringent properties of a liquid crystal tunable filter (LCTF) can be varied by applying an external voltage across a crystal axis. A filter is constructed from a series of polarizers and liquid crystals. A particular passband is selected by tuning the individual liquid crystal elements.
