Effects of Additives

Additives usually alter only the length-to-width or width-to-thickness ratio of the aci-cular crystals. Growth of long, thin crystals (aspect ratio 12) is induced by high levels ( 0.1) of Mn or Co and is attributed to adsorption rather than substitution. These ions have the same influence on aspect ratio whether goethite is grown from Fe or Fe systems and over the pH range 7-13. 

The basic morphologies of lepidocrocite are lath-like or tabular. No example of twinning has been reported. Macrocrystalline lepidocrocite in the form of tabular crystals has 010 as the predominant form (Fig. 4.13). Other massive varieties of lepidocrocite include micaceous and fibrous textures and aggregated scales. 

Synthetic crystals of lepidocrocite are platy or lath-like, elongated in the a-direction and terminate in 101 faces. The predominant face is 010 and crystals often lie on this face. Lepidocrocite is commonly formed by oxidation of Fe systems. The crystal 

The electrolyte content of the aqueous phase has a considerable effect on the wetting time of ionic surfactants, reflecting its effect on the reduction of surface tension by the surfactant, its solubility in water, and its CMC. Electrolytes that 

Most solutions used in electrodeposition of metals and alloys contain one or more inorganic or organic additives that have specific functions in the deposition process. These additives affect deposition and crystal-building processes as adsorbates at the surface of the cathode. Thus, in this chapter we first describe adsorption and the factors that determine adsorbate-surface interaction. There are two sets of factors that determine adsorption substrate and adsorbate factors. Substrate factors include electron density, d-band location, and the shape of substrate electronic orbitals. Adsorbate factors include electronegativity and the shape of adsorbate orbitals. 

After discussing adsorption, we discuss the effects of additives on the kinetic parameters of the deposition process and on the elementary processes of crystal growth. The general effect of additives on electroless deposition is discussed in Section 8.4.

Adsorption Isotherms. Adsorption isotherms describe the relationship between the coverage 0 of the surface by the adsorbate and the concentration of the adsorbate in the bulk solution, c, at a given temperature. The surface coverage 9 is defined as 

The relationship 9 = f(c ) can be derived from a kinetic model assuming that the rate of adsorption is proportional to the number of vacant sites N(l - 9) and also to the bulk solution concentration c  

Chemisorption and Physisorption. One classification of adsorption phenomena is based on the adsorption energy the energy of the adsorbate-surface interaction. In this classification there are two basic types of adsorption chemisorption (an abbreviation of chemical adsorption) and physisorption (an abbreviation of physical adsorption). In chemisorption the chemical attractive forces of adsorption are acting between surface and adsorbate (usually covalent bonds). Thus, there is a chemical combination between the substrate and the adsorbate where electrons are shared and/or transferred. New electronic configurations are formed by this sharing of electrons. In physisorption the physical forces of adsorption, van der Waals or pure electrostatic forces, operate between the surface and the adsorbate there is no electron transfer and no electron sharing. 

Adsorption energy for chemisorbed species is greater than that for physisorbed species. Typical values for chemisorption are in the range of 20-100 kcal/mol and for physisorption, in the range of 5 kcal/mol. 

Adsorption Equilibrium. Since the additive is not used up in many cases of electrodeposition in the presence of an additive (the additive is not incorporated in the deposit), one can conclude that the adsorption equilibrium is dynamic. In a dynamic adsorption equilibrium state the adsorbed molecules are continually desorbing at a rate equal to the rate at which dissolved molecules from the solution 

Many additives, e.g. N2, CO2, H2O [45], have little or no effect on the low temperature oxidation rate. Others may promote reaction or give rise to retardation or, possibly, inhibition. Promotion or acceleration is usually associated with additives which are themselves directly or indirectly radical sources at the temperature of the system (e.g. ditertiary butyl peroxide [58], peracetic acid [19], HBr [59]), and the effect is understandable in terms of an increased (induced) rate of initiation. The most important additive in this category is peracetic acid. This is a product in the oxidation of acetaldehyde, and the effect of its addition on the oxidation kinetics has been used by Combe et al. [19] to obtain supporting evidence for the now accepted branching step. 

Of greater current interest is the effect of those additives which retard 

The distinction between retarders and inhibitors is difficult to make with precision. Retarders give no induction period, their presence merely causing a reduction in rate. Inhibitors give rise to an induction period, although the initial period of no detectable reaction is subjective, the limit of detectability depending on the sensitivity of the measuring equipment. The mechanistic distinction usually assumed is that inhibitors interfere with the normal process of initiation retarders interfere only with the propagation steps. 

Published results for acetaldehyde indicate two extreme forms of behaviour seen, for example, by comparing Figs. 8 and 9 with Figs. 10 and 11, and for convenience of discussion the term inhibitor is retained.

Commercially produced elastic materials have a number of additives. Fillers, such as carbon black, increase tensile strength and elasticity by forming weak cross links between chains. This also makes a material stilfer and increases toughness. Plasticizers may be added to soften the material. Determining the effect of additives is generally done experimentally, although mesoscale methods have the potential to simulate this.

Amongst the factors that will influence service performance are the effect of additives and impurities, temperature, detailed geometric size and shape, orientation and morphology, surface condition, energy and speed of any impacting blow, the shape of the impacting instrument, the environment, and strains in the article due to external loads. For this reason it is desirable, but not always feasible, to test prototype articles under conditions as close to service conditions as possible. 

The producer of column No. 6 tried to supplementary remove admixtures from the gel matrix by applying liquid extractions. He revealed that the extraction process was very slow and that the apparently clean material started to bleed again after some time or when the temperature of extraction was raised. This result indicates that the retention properties of SEC columns may change in the course of their use as a result of cleaning their surface. Maybe the recipes for the gel synthesis will have to be modified to suppress the effects of additives. It seems that the producer of column No. 5 is not far from the ideal situation, at least for the PMMA-toluene system. We cannot exclude... 

As part of an independent study of catalytic asymmetric cyclopropanation, Denmark et al. described a systematic investigation of the effect of addition order, stoichiometry and catalyst structure on sulfonamide-catalyzed Simmons-Smith cyciopropanations. Although early studies had shown promising levels of enantios-electivity, higher selectivity would be required for this to be a synthetically useful transformation. The principal issues that were addressed by this study included ...

Viscosities of the siloxanes were predicted over a temperature range of 298-348 K. The semi-log plot of viscosity as a function of temperature was linear for the ring compounds. However, for the chain compounds, the viscosity increased rapidly with an increase in the chain length of the molecule. A simple 2-4-1 neural network architecture was used for the viscosity predictions. The molecular configuration was not considered here because of the direct positive effect of addition of both M and D groups on viscosity. The two input variables, therefore, were the siloxane type and the temperature level. Only one hidden layer with four nodes was used. The predicted variable was the viscosity of the siloxane.

Alloys containing only a few per cent of zinc may fail if the stresses are high and the environment sufficiently corrosive. Most types of brass, besides the plain copper/zinc alloys, appear to be susceptible to stress corrosion. An extensive investigation of the effect of additions to 70/30 brass was carried out by Wilson, Edmunds, Anderson and Peirce , who found that about 1% Si was markedly beneficial. Other additions were beneficial under some circumstances and none of the 36 additions tested accelerated stress-corrosion cracking. Further results are given in later papers ... 

The deliberate growth of tin oxide or mixed oxide films in both acid and alkaline solutions has been reviewed recently . The effect of additions to alkaline solutions on their attack on tin has been considered as has the tendency for pitting corrosion to occur in solutions containing chloride ions" .

Since the depletion of the matrix with respect to chromium appears to be the basic factor involved, it would be expected that additions of elements having greater affinity than chromium for carbon would increase resistance to attack and such effects have been demonstrated by several investigations where the beneficial effects of additions of titanium. 

Thus in this system, in addition to the usual requirements, the separator has the task of delaying penetration for as long as possible. A membrane would be regarded as perfect which lets hydroxyl ions pass, but not the larger zincate ions. This requirements is best met by regenerated cellulose ( cellophane ) [10,11], which in swollen condition shows such ion-selective properties but at the same time is also chemically very sensitive and allows only a limited number of cycles the protective effects of additional fleeces of polyamide or polypropylene have already been taken into account.

There have been many instances of examination of the effect of additive product on the initiation of nucleation and growth processes. In early work on the dehydration of crystalline hydrates, reaction was initiated on all surfaces by rubbing with the anhydrous material [400]. An interesting application of the opposite effect was used by Franklin and Flanagan [62] to inhibit reaction at selected crystal faces of uranyl nitrate hexa-hydrate by coating with an impermeable material. In other reactions, the product does not so readily interact with reactant surfaces, e.g. nickel metal (having oxidized boundaries) does not detectably catalyze the decomposition of nickel formate [222],...
