Physical equilibria

While it is expected that the source rocks for the radionuclides of interest in many environments were deposited more than a million years ago and that the isotopes of uranium would be in a state of radioactive equilibrium, physical fractionation of " U from U during water-rock interaction results in disequilibrium conditions in the fluid phase. This is a result of (1) preferential leaching of " U from damaged sites of the crystal lattice upon alpha decay of U, (2) oxidation of insoluble tetravalent " U to soluble hexavalent " U during alpha decay, and (3) alpha recoil of " Th (and its daughter " U) into the solute phase. If initial ( " U/ U).4 in the waters can be reasonably estimated a priori, the following relationship can be used to establish the time T since deposition,... [Pg.411]

Physical separation methods can be based on equilibrium considerations, but the majority are not. Ordinary filtration is an example of a non-equilibrium, physical method and so is ordinary centrifugation— e.g.—the separation of a precipitate from the suspending liquid using an artificial gravity field. There are separation methods, which are called filtration which are not such as gel filtration. Ultracentrifugation in a salt gradient is a physical equilibrium method. [Pg.403]

A new approach to the application of group theory in the study of the physical properties of crystals, which is more powerful than the direct method described in Section 15.2, has been developed by Nowick and is described fully in his book Crystal Properties via Group Theory (Nowick (1995)). A brief outline of Nowick s method will be given here. The equilibrium physical properties of crystals are described by constitutive relations which are Taylor expansions of some thermodynamic quantity Yt in terms of a set of thermodynamic variables Xj. Usually, only the first term is retained giving the linear relations... [Pg.288]

A comprehensive discussion of the most important model parameters covers phase equilibrium, chemical equilibrium, physical properties (e.g., diffusion coefficients and viscosities), hydrodynamic and mass transport properties, and reaction kinetics. The relevant calculation methods for these parameters are explained, and a determination technique for the reaction kinetics parameters is represented. The reaction kinetics of the monoethanolamine carbamate synthesis is obtained via measurements in a stirred-cell reactor. Furthermore, the importance of the reaction kinetics with regard to axial column profiles is demonstrated using a blend of aqueous MEA and MDEA as absorbent. [Pg.304]

Vinyltoluene (VT) is a mixture of meta- and 7n7-vinyltoluenes, typically in the ratio of 60 40. This isomer ratio results from the ratio of the corresponding ethyltoluenes in thermodynamic equilibrium. Physical properties and chemical analysis of a typical vinyltoluene product are shown in Tables 7 and 8, respectively. Vinyltoluene monomer is produced by Dow Chemical Company and Fina Oil Chemical Company. The worldwide consumption is estimated to be approximately 100,000 t/yr. [Pg.488]

Sedimentation ratio is often used to assess suspension stability. Byron reported the sedimentation ratios for a 1% sodium fluoresein suspension formulation with different amounts of surfactant (sorbitan trioleate) after standing for 20 days at room temperature. The suspension formulation with the lowest sedimentation ratio had thebest-flocculated system. However, all formulations were easily redispersible one complete revolution of the container was sufficient to produce a homogeneous dispersion. There was no clear difference in the times taken to reach apparent sedimentation equilibrium. Physical stability of the formulation was determined according to ... [Pg.2103]

We next point out that the near equilibrium physics of the slow variable regime gives rise to a very simple picture of particle motion and underlies the traditional concept of frictional damping. [Pg.193]
