Oral adrninistration of vacciaes may be ineffective as many vacciaes are deactivated in the digestive tract of the animals the vacciaes are intended to protect. Dip treatment by which the vacciaes enter the animals through diffusion from the water are not generally as effective as injection but can be used to vaccinate large numbers of animals in short periods of time. 

Immersion extraction systems are usefiil in handling finely ground material or when the percolation rate through the material to be extracted is too rapid to aUow effective diffusion from the soHds. These systems are appHed extensively in the sugar industry, in extraction from oilseeds having a high oil... 

Water-soluble initiator is added to the reaction mass, and radicals are generated which enter the micelles. Polymerization starts in the micelle, making it a growing polymer particle. As monomer within the particle converts to polymer, it is replenished by diffusion from the monomer droplets. The concentration of monomer in the particle remains as high as 5—7 molar. The growing polymer particles require more surfactant to remain stable, getting this from the uninitiated micelles. Stage I is complete once the micelles have disappeared, usually at or before 10% monomer conversion. 

Most theories of droplet combustion assume a spherical, symmetrical droplet surrounded by a spherical flame, for which the radii of the droplet and the flame are denoted by and respectively. The flame is supported by the fuel diffusing from the droplet surface and the oxidant from the outside. The heat produced in the combustion zone ensures evaporation of the droplet and consequently the fuel supply. Other assumptions that further restrict the model include (/) the rate of chemical reaction is much higher than the rate of diffusion and hence the reaction is completed in a flame front of infinitesimal thickness (2) the droplet is made up of pure Hquid fuel (J) the composition of the ambient atmosphere far away from the droplet is constant and does not depend on the combustion process (4) combustion occurs under steady-state conditions (5) the surface temperature of the droplet is close or equal to the boiling point of the Hquid and (6) the effects of radiation, thermodiffusion, and radial pressure changes are negligible. 

In both these continuous processes medium to high energy disperse dyes should be used to avoid the risk of dye subliming to contaminate the atmosphere of the fixation unit and then staining the print by vapor-phase dyeing, or to produce a loss of definition of the printed mark due to diffusion from the appHed thickened paste. 

Smaller particles, particularly those below about 0.3//m in diameter, exhibit consideroble Brownian movement and do not move uniformly along the gas streamline. These particles diffuse from the gas to the surface of the collecting body and are collected. 

Figure 19.2 shows, at a microscopic level, what is going on. Atoms diffuse from the grain boundary which must form at each neck (since the particles which meet there have different orientations), and deposit in the pore, tending to fill it up. The atoms move by grain boundary diffusion (helped a little by lattice diffusion, which tends to be slower). The reduction in surface area drives the process, and the rate of diffusion controls its rate. This immediately tells us the two most important things we need to know about solid state sintering ... 

Surface evaporation can be a limiting factor in the manufacture of many types of products. In the drying of paper, chrome leather, certain types of synthetic rubbers and similar materials, the sheets possess a finely fibrous structure which distributes the moisture through them by capillary action, thus securing very rapid diffusion of moisture from one point of the sheet to another. This means that it is almost impossible to remove moisture from the surface of the sheet without having it immediately replaced by capillary diffusion from the interior. The drying of sheetlike materials is essentially a process of surface evaporation. Note that with porous materials, evaporation may occur within the solid. In a porous material that is characterized by pores of diverse sizes, the movement of water may be controlled by capillarity, and not by concentration gradients. 

Effect of HjS, Carbon Oxides, Etc. Hydrogen sulfide in the treat gas has an inhibiting effect on the kinetics of hydrotreating. Being a product of the desulfurization reactions, HjS must diffuse from the catalyst surface into the bulk gas stream. Any HjS present beyond that formed, further slows down the rate of diffusion with a consequent decrease in the amount of desulfurization for a given amount of catalyst. Therefore, additional catalyst would be required. 

Consider a lean phase, j, which is in intimate contact with a rich phase, i, in a closed vessel in order to transfer a certain solute. The solute diffuses from the rich phase to the lean phase. Meanwhile, a fraction of the diffused solute back-transfers to the rich phase. Initially, die rate of rich-to-lean solute transfer surpasses that of lean to rich leading to a net transfer of the solute from the rich phase to the lean phase. However, as the concentration of the solute in the rich phase increases. 

Several authors " have suggested that in some systems voids, far from acting as diffusion barriers, may actually assist transport by permitting a dissociation-recombination mechanism. The presence of elements which could give rise to carrier molecules, e.g. carbon or hydrogen , and thus to the behaviour illustrated in Fig. 1.87, would particularly favour this mechanism. The oxidant side of the pore functions as a sink for vacancies diffusing from the oxide/gas interface by a reaction which yields gas of sufficiently high chemical potential to oxidise the metal side of the pore. The vacancies created by this reaction then travel to the metal/oxide interface where they are accommodated by plastic flow, or they may form additional voids by the mechanisms already discussed. The reaction sequence at the various interfaces (Fig. 1.87b) for the oxidation of iron (prior to the formation of Fe Oj) would be...
