Dispersion apparatus, for

The detectable limits for a dispersion apparatus are a few g-g/g, and vary according to the environment around from a few pg/g for heavy elements in light matrices to a few mg/g for light elements. 

The chromatography literature contains a vast amount of dispersion data for all types of chromatography and, in particular, much of the data pertains directly to GC and LC. Unfortunately, almost all the data is unsuitable for validating one particular dispersion equation as opposed to another. There are a number of reasons for this firstly, the necessary supporting data (e.g., diffusivity data for the solutes in the solvents employed as the mobile phase, accurate distribution and/or capacity factor constants (k")) are not available secondly, the accuracy and precision of much of the data are inadequate, largely due to the use of inappropriate apparatus with high extracolumn dispersion. 

Conventional methods of polymer extraction use large quantities of solvents as in shake-flask extraction or a Soxhlet extraction apparatus. For all classical extraction methods, solvent selectivity, in general, is low, i.e. solvents with high capacity tend to have low selectivity. In reflux extractions, which are still quite popular in polymer applications, the polymer is refluxed with a hot solvent, which disperses it to provide a solvent phase containing additives. In these conditions solvents are at their atmospheric boiling point. These methods are lengthy and labour intensive. Fractional extraction is based on solvents with increasing solvent power (cf. also [81]).

Recently, ultrathin evaporated films have been used as models for dispersed supported metal catalysts, the main object being the preparation of a catalyst where surface cleanliness and crystallite size and structure could be better controlled than in conventional supported catalysts. In ultrathin films of this type, an average metal density on the substrate equivalent to >0.02 monolayers has been used. The apparatus for this technique is shown schematically in Fig. 8 (27). It was designed to permit use under UHV conditions, and to avoid depositing the working film on top of an outgassing film. ... 

Despite the technical advances in the past decade, no apparatus for measurement of the odour strength has been developed. Therefore, odour pollution studies cannot be performed without using human noses. In general, the efect of polluting odours can be studied either by direct assessment in the ambient air or by means of a dispersion calculation. The first method requires a number of observers to be placed in the vincinity of the odour source (3,7). The latter a dispersion model and an input value. For reasons of simplicity this method is most frequently used in the Netherlands. 

Figure 29.9 shows a comparison between the components of a rudimentary EPR spectrometer and the corresponding elements of a more familiar apparatus for visible spectrometry. In EPR, the source of excitation radiation is a microwave device called a klystron. The microwaves would disperse in free space and must therefore be conducted to the sample by waveguide or coaxial cable. The sample, contained in the sample tube, is held in a microwave cavity between the poles of a magnet. The detector is usually a diode that produces a dc output propor-...

To avoid any wall effect or perturbation effect that may occur with these methods, a sampling apparatus for the photographic technique has been proposed by Kawecki et al. (K5). Bubbles are extracted from the tank containing the dispersion by means of a tube connected to a small square-section column through which a continuous flow of liquid and bubbles rises. The flow rate is chosen high enough so that differences in the free-rise velocity of the bubbles do not affect the mean residence time of the bubbles in the column. The bubbles in the column are then photographed. 

If too much organic halide is added to Na or K dispersions a sudden rise in T may occur accompanied by an uncontrolled reaction that may result in explosion if reaction mixture is pushed out of the reaction vessel into the atmosphere . For this reason and because of the fragility of the usual glass apparatus the customary apparatus for alkali-metal reactions should be contained within a second inert atmosphere, such as inside a glove box filled with N,. 

S latter er at. (1981) made a similar approach when evaluating a new spray dispersal apparatus. Physical measurements were made of the spray distribution, which was applied at four rales, with exposure of the insects for 1 hours.

In June, 1941, the quarry was allocated to the Royal Enfield Cycle Company for the manufacture of No.3 anti-aircraft predictors. The company started making predictors and hydraulic control apparatus for Bofors anti-aircraft guns at its Rcdditch factory just before the war, but, due to the vulnerability of the site, dispersal to the West Country was proposed in 1940. It was planned at first to convert just 30,000 square feet of Westwood Quarry to provide capacity to build twenty predictors per month. Development was expected to cost 60,000, with a further 50,000 for new machine tools and 10,000 for gauges and hand tools. Later it was decided to also transfer part of the oil-motor capacity, which necessitated an increase of floor space to 41,000 square feet. By the end of the year the cost of quarry development alone had increased to 123,500, exclusive of the cost of site acquisition or of the workmen s hostels which were now required.
