Physical drying

The solvent-mediated transformation of o -L-glutamic acid to the S-form was quantitatively monitored over time at a series of temperatures [248]. The calibration model was built using dry physical mixtures of the forms, but still successfully predicted composition in suspension samples. Cornel et al. monitored the solute concentration and the solvent-mediated solid-state transformation of L-glutamic acid simultaneously [249]. However, the authors note that multivariate analysis was required to achieve this. Additionally, they caution that it was necessary to experimentally evaluate the effect of solid composition, suspension density, solute concentration, particle size and distribution, particle shape, and temperature on the Raman spectra during calibration in order to have confidence in the quantitative results. This can be a substantial experi-... 

A vital step, and often overlooked. Formulation cannot proceed without a clear definition of the target market and any constraints that may be operating including costs. The specification should also address key wet and dry physical properties. 

Drying Time. Evaluation of the drying time is simple in the case of stoving materials, but is a major problem with all paints and varnishes that dry physically or chemically at ambient temperature.

Physically, r is proportional to the ratio of mass transfer coefficient of liquid water in membrane to mass transfer coefficient of water vapour in the backing layer. The parameter r thus describes the competition of two opposite water fluxes back diffusion, which wets the anode side of the membrane and leakage through the backing layer to the channel, which facilitates membrane drying. Physically, r controls the local water-limiting current density (see below).

Quality control procedures that are unique for dried fruit products include moisture content determination, sulphur dioxide determination (pre- and post-drying), physical characteristics of dried fruit and drying ratio (Woodroof and Luh 1975).

Drying refers to the removal of water from a substance through a whole range of processes, including distillation, evaporation, and even physical separations such as with centrifuges. Here, consideration is restricted to the removal of moisture from solids and liquids into a gas stream (usually air) by heat, namely, thermal drying. Some of the types of equipment for removal of water also can be used for removal of organic liquids from solids. 

Section 10.1 will consider the physical processes which oil and gas (and unwanted fluids) from the wellhead must go through to reach product specifications. These processes will include gas-liquid separation, liquid-liquid separation, drying of gas. 

If produced gas contains water vapour it may have to be dried (dehydrated). Water condensation in the process facilities can lead to hydrate formation and may cause corrosion (pipelines are particularly vulnerable) in the presence of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide. Hydrates are formed by physical bonding between water and the lighter components in natural gas. They can plug pipes and process equipment. Charts such as the one below are available to predict when hydrate formation may become a problem.

Physical Properties. Benzene, C H, toluene, C Hj-CH, and petrol (a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons, e.g., pentane, hexane, etc.) are colourless liquids, insoluble in and lighter than water. Benzene and toluene, which have similar odours, are not readily distinguishable chemically, and their physical constants should therefore be carefully noted benzene, m.p. 5 (solidifies when a few ml. in a dry test-tube are chilled in ice-water), b.p. 8i toluene, m.p. —93°, b.p. 110°. Petroleum has a characteristic odour. 

Composites can be created ia which the core optimizes desired physical properties such as modulus, whereas the outer layer optimizes surface coasideratioas aot inherent ia the core material. SoHd outer—foam core can provide composites with significant reductions ia specific gravity (0.7).

Dry chlorine reacts with most metals combustively depending on temperature alurninum, arsenic, gold, mercury, selenium, teUerium, and tin react with dry CI2 in gaseous or Hquid form at ordinary temperatures carbon steel ignites at about 250°C depending on the physical shape and titanium reacts violendy with dry chlorine. Wet chlorine is very reactive because of the hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid (see eq. 37). Metals stable to wet chlorine include platinum, silver, tantalum, and titanium. Tantalum is the most stable to both dry and wet chlorine. 

Similar materials are available based on potato starch, eg, PaseUi SA2 which claims DE below 3 and has unique properties based on its amylose—amylopectin ratio pecuhar to potato starch. The product contains only 0.1% proteia and 0.06% fat which helps stabilize dried food mixes compounded with it. Another carbohydrate raw material is waxy-maize starch. Maltodextrias of differeat DE values of 6, 10, and 15, usiag waxy-maize starch, are available (Staley Co.). This product, called Stellar, is offered ia several physical forms such as agglomerates and hoUow spheres, and is prepared by acid modification (49). Maltodextrias based oa com starch are offered with DEs of 5, 10, 15, and 18 as powders or agglomerates (Grain Processing Corp.).
