Concentration of Sodium Sulfate Solutions. A concentration unit is always necessary for both two- and three-compartment cells when the feed consists of dilute sodium sulfate solutions, because the cell voltage increases rapidly when the sodium sulfate concentration is <10%. The methods available are reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and evaporation. With the present average European prices of steam and electric energy, evaporation seems to be the best method for concentrating up to 20% diluted feed solutions having a salt content around 3-5%. 

The spread in the cascade and evaporation process leads to the many radioactive species observed by the radiochemists when high energy nucleons bombarded nuclei. Extensive thermodynamic and statistical mechanics treatments of the high energy evaporation process are given by LeCouteur, Morrison [2] and Fujimoto and Yamaguchi. The latter paper gives references to a set of earlier papers by these authors. 

The extensive experiments of Sard and co-workers showed that the emission of low energy (evaporation) neutrons was the dominant reaction product of the capture of -mesons in complex nuclei (see Sard and Crouch 2). 

Like any industrial process, this method of lithium extraction inevitably has consequences for the enviromnent. The pumping of brine requires energy. Evaporation basins require large... 

Barnes and Hunter [290] have measured the evaporation resistance across octadecanol monolayers as a function of temperature to test the appropriateness of several models. The experimental results agreed with three theories the energy barrier theory, the density fluctuation theory, and the accessible area theory. A plot of the resistance times the square root of the temperature against the area per molecule should collapse the data for all temperatures and pressures as shown in Fig. IV-25. A similar temperature study on octadecylurea monolayers showed agreement with only the accessible area model [291]. 

If the fraction of sites occupied is 0, and the fraction of bare sites is 0q (so that 00 + 1 = 0 then the rate of condensation on unit area of surface is OikOo where p is the pressure and k is a constant given by the kinetic theory of gases (k = jL/(MRT) ) a, is the condensation coefficient, i.e. the fraction of incident molecules which actually condense on a surface. The evaporation of an adsorbed molecule from the surface is essentially an activated process in which the energy of activation may be equated to the isosteric heat of adsorption 4,. The rate of evaporation from unit area of surface is therefore equal to... 

Clearly, the lower the ionization energy with respect to the work function, the greater is the proportion of ions to neutrals produced and the more sensitive the method. For this reason, the filaments used in analyses are those whose work functions provide the best yields of ions. The evaporated neutrals are lost to the vacuum system. With continued evaporation of ions and neutrals, eventually no more material remains on the filament and the ion current falls to zero. 

The rate of evaporation of ions from a heated surface is given by Equation 7.3, in which Q, is the energy of adsorption of ions on the filament surface (usually about 2-3 eV) and Cj is the surface density of ions on the surface (a complete monolayer of ions on a filament surface would have a surface density of about 10 ions/cm" ). 

If there is a different material (M) on the heated metal surface, M will be evaporated as the temperature increases. The ionization energy (ionization potential, I) of M is also measured in electron volts.
