Diffusion transfer

Hydroxyhydroquinone and pyrogaHol can be used for lining reactors for vinyl chloride suspension polymerization to prevent formation of polymer deposits on the reactor walls (98). Hydroxyhydroquinone and certain of its derivatives are useful as auxiUary developers for silver haUde emulsions in photographic material their action is based on the dye diffusion-transfer process. The transferred picture has good contrast and stain-free highlights (99). 5-Acylhydroxyhydroquinones are useful as stabilizer components for poly(alkylene oxide)s (100). 

Fig. 13. Single-sheet diffusion transfer plate (a) stmcture (b) upon exposure to light (c) development and (d) washing off and finish. In (a) the plate is first coated with a receiver layer of small (<5 nm) catalytic sites. The photographic layer is a spectrally sensitized silver haUde emulsion. In (c) the exposed areas develop as silver metal. Unexposed areas diffuse down to the receiver layer and form the printing image. In (d) the emulsion is washed off, revealing...

Thermal Printing. Thermal printing is a generic name for methods that mark paper or other media with text and pictures by imagewise heating of special-purpose consumable media. Common technologies are direct thermal thermal, ie, wax, transfer and dye-sublimation, ie, diffusion, transfer. Properties and preferred appHcations are diverse, but apparatus and processes are similar (87—89).

The ionized developers are then capable of diffusing. Transfer of an electron reduces the silver and generates the semiquinone ion radical of the auxiUary developer (eq. 10). In turn, a dye developer molecule of the adjacent layer transfers an electron to the semiquinone, returning the auxiUary developer to its original state and leaving the dye developer in the semiquinone state (eq. 11). Further oxidation of the semiquinone leads to the quinone state of the dye developer. 

Na[AuClJ, per mole of silver haHde. Coordination compounds are used as emulsion stabilizers, developers, and are formed with the weU-known thiosulfate fixers. Silver haHde diffusion transfer processes and silver image stabilization also make use of coordination phenomena. A number of copper and chromium azo dyes have found use in diffusion transfer systems developed by Polaroid (see Color photography, instant). Coordination compounds are also important in a number of commercial photothermography and electrophotography (qv) appHcations as weU as in the classic iron cyano blueprint images, a number of chromium systems, etc (32). 

The effectiveness of a fluidized bed as a ehemical reactor depends to a large extent on the amount of convective and diffusive transfer between bubble gas and emulsion phase, since reaction usually occurs only when gas and solids are in contact. Often gas in the bubble cloud complex passes through the reactor in plug flow with little back mixing, while the solids are assumed to be well mixed. Actual reactor models depend greatly on kinetics and fluidization characteristics and become too complex to treat here. 

Total transfer = Transfer by diffusion + Transfer by bulk flow. 

The concentration gradient may have to be approximated in finite difference terms (finite differencing techniques are described in more detail in Secs. 4.2 to 4.4). Calculating the mass diffusion rate requires a knowledge of the area, through which the diffusive transfer occurs, since... 

In the traditional silver halide dye-forming and dye-bleach processes, metal complex dyes are not normally used.62,63 However, metal complex azo dyes have been claimed15 for use in color diffusion transfer photography employing non-diffusible magenta dye-releasing dyes which, upon development of the silver halide layer, release a diffusible magenta dye (Scheme 7). 

Other types of metal complex azo dyes described for color diffusion transfer photography include pyridylazonaphthols6 (70) and pyridylazo aminophenols65 (71). 

When the two liquid phases are in relative motion, the mass transfer coefficients in either phase must be related to the dynamical properties of the liquids. The boundary layer thicknesses are related to the Reynolds number, and the diffusive transfer to the Schmidt number. Another complication is that such a boundary cannot in many circumstances be regarded as a simple planar interface, but eddies of material are transported to the interface from the bulk of each liquid which change the concentration profile normal to the interface. In the simple isothermal model there is no need to take account of this fact, but in most industrial circumstances the two liquids are not in an isothermal system, but in one in which there is a temperature gradient. The simple stationary mass transfer model must therefore be replaced by an eddy mass transfer which takes account of this surface replenishment.

All passive monitoring devices operate on the basis of diffusive transfer, regardless of whether they are classified as diffusion, permeation or unclassified (e.g., SPMDs), and the rate-limiting barrier is the step with the greatest resistance to mass transfer (see Figure 3.1). Pick s first law is the fundamental law of diffusion. It states that the flux of a chemical in the x-direction (j , e.g., ng cm d ) is proportional to the concentration gradient (9C/9x)...

Ostwald ripening consists of a diffusive transfer of the dispersed phase from smaller to larger droplets. Ostwald ripening is characterized by either a constant volume rate [4,5] (diffusion-controlled ripening) or a constant surface rate 22 [6] (surface-controlled ripening), depending on the origin of the transfer mechanism ...
