Electrostatic purely

The heavy mineral sand concentrates are scmbbed to remove any surface coatings, dried, and separated into magnetic and nonmagnetic fractions (see Separation, magnetic). Each of these fractions is further spHt into conducting and nonconducting fractions in an electrostatic separator to yield individual concentrates of ilmenite, leucoxene, monazite, mtile, xenotime, and zircon. Commercially pure zircon sand typically contains 64% zirconium oxide, 34% siUcon oxide, 1.2% hafnium oxide, and 0.8% other oxides including aluminum, iron, titanium, yttrium, lanthanides, uranium, thorium, phosphoms, scandium, and calcium. 

The intermolecular forces of adhesion and cohesion can be loosely classified into three categories (7) quantum mechanical forces, pure electrostatic... 

Talc and Pyrophyllite. Talc (qv) and pyrophjlhte are 2 1 layer clay minerals having no substitution in either the tetrahedral or octahedral layer. These are electrostatically neutral particles (x = 0) and may be considered ideal 2 1 layer hydrous phyUosiHcates. The stmctural formula of talc, the trioctahedral form, is Mg3Si402Q(0H)2 and the stmctural formula of pyrophylUte, the dioctahedral form, is Al2Si402Q (OH)2 (106). Ferripyrophyllite has the same stmcture as pyrophylUte, but has ferric iron instead of aluminum in the octahedral layer. Because these are electrostatically neutral they do not contain interlayer materials. These minerals are important in clay mineralogy because they can be thought of as pure 2 1 layer minerals (106). 

Color from Transition-Metal Compounds and Impurities. The energy levels of the excited states of the unpaked electrons of transition-metal ions in crystals are controlled by the field of the surrounding cations or cationic groups. Erom a purely ionic point of view, this is explained by the electrostatic interactions of crystal field theory ligand field theory is a more advanced approach also incorporating molecular orbital concepts. 

The electrostatic behavior of intrinsically nonconductive substances, such as most pure thermoplastics and saturated hydrocarbons, is generally governed by chemical species regarded as trace contaminants. These are components that are not deliberately added and which may be present at less than detectable concentrations. Since charge separation occurs at interfaces, both the magnitude and polarity of charge transfer can be determined by contaminants that are surface active. This is particularly important for nonconductive liquids, where the electrostatic behavior can be governed by contaminants present at much less than 1 ppm (2-1.3). 

In some studies of pure N2 solids more realistic potentials have been used by considering electrostatic interaction in addition. The electrostatic interaction sites are positive charges of q = cj2 = 0.313e at distances 1.044 A away from the molecular center-of-mass on the molecular symmetry axis and negative charges = /4 = —0.313 e at distances 0.874 A respectively [143-145]. 

In some cases H-bond also includes a directional term such as (1 -cos ) or (cos0 )" multiplied onto the distance dependent part in eq. (2.18). The current trend seem to be that force fields are moving away from such specialized parameters and/or functional forms, and instead accounting for hydrogen bonding purely in terms of electrostatic interactions. 

Consider now the case where a = 0, that is to say, where we have pure electrostatic forces, with. /npasses through a maximum at T = d for if we differentiate with respect to T, and set the result equal to zero, we have... 

In a very dilute solution, between the co-spheres of the ions the interstitial solvent is unmodified and has the same properties as in the pure. solvent,. The co-sphere of each positive ion and the co-sphere of each negative ion, however, may contribute toward a change in the viscosity. We should expect to find, in a very dilute solution, for each species of ion present, a total contribution proportional to the number of ions of that species present in unit volume. At the same time, we may anticipate that the electrostatic forces between the positively and the negatively charged ions must be taken into account. 

The actual state, and absolute amount, of intrinsic energy existing in a body, or system of bodies, are things which lie quite outside the range of pure thermodynamics. This indefiniteness has, however, not the slightest influence on the stringency of the definition, since we can proceed as in the definition of electrostatic potential, and choose any convenient standard state of the body, and use the term intrinsic energy with reference to this standard state.
