Encapsulation technique process

Major categories of industrial waste solidiflcation/stabilization systems are cement-based processes, pozzolanic processes (not including cement), thermoplastic techniques, organic polymer techniques, surface encapsulation techniques, and self-cementing techniques (for high calcium sulfate sludges). Vitrification (discussed previously) can also be considered a solidification process. 

The spray-dried flavours or powder blends are processed by a roller compactor into lumps (Fig. 21.12). These lumps are crushed into granules. This process cannot be categorised as a direct encapsulating technique, since the flavour-encapsulating effect of compacted flavours is based on the use of spray-dried raw material. 

The most recent method of coating RDX is with the emulsion encapsulation technique (Refs 103, 104, 109 111). The process involves essentially the following steps ... 

Encapsulation is a process in which tiny particles or droplets are covered by a coating [36-43]. Its role is either to isolate the active ingredient or to control the rate by which it leaves the capsule. As examples for the first case, one can mention the isolation of vitamins from oxygen or of a reactive core from chemical attack, and for the second case, the control of the rate of release of drugs or pesticides. Numerous encapsulation techniques have been suggested. Most of the encapsulations of the active solid materials have been carried out for solids larger than 1 pm. 

Based on the solidifying agent, this process is divided into five categories silicate and cement, lime, thermoplastic, organic polymer, and encapsulation techniques. All these processes are used to treat hazardous wastes. 

The term encapsulation has been used to distinguish entrapment preparations in which the biocatalyst environment is comparable to that of the bulk phase and where there is no covalent attachment of the protein to the containment medium (Fig. 6-1 D)[21J. Enzymes or whole cells may be encapsulated within the interior of a microscopic semi-permeable membranes (microencapsulation) or within the interior of macroscopic hollow-fiber membranes. Liposome encapsulation, a common microscopic encapsulation technique, involves the containment of an enzyme within the interior of a spherical surfactant bilayer, usually based on a phospholipid such as lecithin. The dimensions and shape of the liposome are variable and may consist of multiple amphiphile layers. Processes in which microscopic compart-mentalization (cf. living cells) such as multienzyme systems, charge transfer systems, or processes that require a gradient in concentration have employed liposome encapsulation. This method of immobilization is also commonly used for the delivery of therapeutic proteins. 

The Glowgrub technology covers a number of encapsulation techniques which can totally encapsulate the treated membrane in an optically clear coating, with for example all the reactive material present. Voids between the membrane and the outer casing can be created for holding sample processing materials or surface reactive compounds in single or discrete linear sections for one-pass rapid multi-analysis Fig 5. 

An attempt to use a recently patented concept (Dispersed Nano-Objects Protective Encapsulation—DOPE process) intended to disperse carbon nanotubes in polymeric matrices was reported. Physically cross-linked alginate capsules were successfully formed in the presence of either cellulose whiskers or microfibrillated cellulose [153]. The resulting capsules were extruded with a thermoplastic material. Another possible processing technique of nanocomposites using cellu-losic nanoparticles in the dry state present in the filtration of the aqueous suspension to obtain a film or dried mat of particles followed by immersion in a... 

The new encapsulation procedure is particularly useful for the preparation of carbon fiber disk electrodes of different disk diameters. Furthermore, the new encapsulation technique give a possibility to insulate microelectrodes more reproducibly and to automatize this process if necessary. 

Unfortunately, organic materials are much more permeable to moisture and oxygen than metals and ceramics, for example. This is why there is a thin aluminum layer in the paper-based containers for many dairy and juice products. As mentioned previously, this is particularly important in LEDs and n-doped transistors, which are more sensitive to oxygen and water than electrochromic displays, for example. There are commercial solutions for manufacturing such a seal based on ceramics, for example, but many require vacuum processing. While compatible with roll-to-roll manufacturing, such encapsulation techniques can quickly dominate the cost of producing printed electronics. 

Prior to the discussion of encapsulation techniques, the IC assembly sequence will be reviewed. The wire bonded IC device will be used as an example of a common IC package. This IC packaging example will provide a better understanding of the packaging sequence and encapsulation process. Let us assume that the IC devices have gone through the completed fabrication process and are still in a wafer form. These devices...
