Figure 277 is a photograph showing different products from roller presses. Application of electrochemical milling (ECM see below and Figure 281) provides complete freedom to produce pocket shapes. 

Electrochemical milling (ECM) offers complete freedom of choice of material and pocket shape. This technique employs a liquid electrolyte to erode the roll or segment material thereby reproducing exactly the shape of the electrode (Figure 281). Using this method, not only finally machined and hardened materials can be treated economically without any distortion but also no limitation whatsoever exists regarding pocket shape. The ECM technique can reproduce such detail that even identifying marks can be incorporated. 

Alnico alloys are brittle and hard, they can only be machined by grinding, spark erosion, and electrochemical milling, and they resist atmospheric corrosion well up to 500 °C (Fiepke, 1990). The mechanical behavior, in particular creep, of Alnico-type, Fe-Ni- Al alloys has been studied in detail, and both Fe-rich alloys with precip-...

Sodium dithionite solution can be produced on-site utilizing a mixed sodium borohydride—sodium hydroxide solution to reduce sodium bisulfite. This process has developed, in part, because of the availabiHty of low cost sulfur dioxide or bisulfite at some paper mills. Improved yields, above 90% dithionite based on borohydride, can be obtained by the use of a specific mixing sequence and an optimized pH profile (360,361). Electrochemical technology is also being offered for on-site production of sodium hydrosulfite solution (362). 

Economic Aspects. U.S. capacity for production of merchant sodium dithionite (soHds basis) was estimated at 93,000 metric tons in 1994. There are three North American producers of sodium dithionite. Hoechst Celanese is the largest producer (68,000 tons capacity) with two formate production locations and one zinc process location. Olin (25,000 t capacity) produces solution product only at two locations using both the amalgam and electrochemical processes. In 1994, Vulcan started a small solution plant in Wisconsin using the Olin electrochemical process. In addition, it is estimated that 13,000 t/yr is produced at U.S. pulp mills using the Borol process from sulfur dioxide and sodium borohydride. Growth is estimated at 2—3%/yr. The... 

A number of papers have appeared on the removal of heavy metals in the effluents of dyestuff and textile mill plants. The methods used were coagulation (320—324), polymeric adsorption (325), ultrafiltration (326,327), carbon adsorption (328,329), electrochemical (330), and incineration and landfiU (331). Of interest is the removal of these heavy metals, especiaUy copper by chelation using trimercaptotria2ine (332) and reactive dyed jute or sawdust (333).

FIGURE 2.2 (a) Particle size distribution for three different NiO powders used in the Ni-YSZ cermets the circle is for a commercial NiO powder with 0 h milling, the diamond is for the commercial NiO milled for 138 h, and the square is for the NiO powder prepared by the GNP process, and (b) resistivity versus Ni volume percent for the Ni-YSZ cermets made with the three different NiO powders at 1,000°C in reducing atmosphere. The YSZ powder has grain size of 0.1 to 0.2 pm, and the cermets were all sintered at 1,400°C for 2 h.

Catalytic activity and electrochemical performance generally increase as the NiO and YSZ particle sizes are reduced. However, ultrafine powders are prone to agglomeration during the milling and mixing process the distributions of the phases (and hence the percolation threshold and many other important properties) are determined by the agglomeration size, not by the primary particle size.
