These alloys are of vital importance in the construction of modern aircraft and rockets. Aluminum, evaporated in a vacuum, forms a highly reflective coating for both visible light and radiant heat. These coatings soon form a thin layer of the protective oxide and do not deteriorate as do silver coatings. They are used to coat telescope mirrors and to make decorative paper, packages, toys. 

Drum Drying. The dmm or roHer dryers used for milk operate on the same principles as for other products. A thin layer or film of product is dried over an internally steam-heated dmm with steam pressures up to 620 kPa (90 psi) and 149°C. Approximately 1.2—1.3 kg of steam ate requited per kilogram of water evaporated. The dry film produced on the roHer is scraped from the surface, moved from the dryer by conveyor, and pulverized, sized, cooled, and put iato a container. 

The most common Schottky contacts for compound semiconductors are gold-based metallizations deposited by thermal or electron beam evaporation. The metal may include a thin titanium layer in direct contact with the semiconductor which acts as an adhesion layer. AdditionaHy, a thin layer... 

Diaminoanthraquinone [128-95-0] M 238.3, m 268°. Purified by thin-layer chromatography on silica gel using toluene/acetone (9 1) as eluent. The main band was scraped off and extracted with MeOH. The solvent was evaporated and the quinone was dried in a drying pistol [Land, McAlpine, Sinclair and Truscott J Chem Soc, Faraday Trans 1 72 2091 1976]. Crystd from EtOH in dark violet crystals. 

A. Silver trifluoroacetate. To a suspension of 187 g. (0.81 mole) of silver oxide (Note 1) in 200 ml. of water is added 177 g. (1.55 moles) of trifluoroacetic acid (Note 2). The resulting solution is filtered, and the filtrate is evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The dry silver trifluoroacetate thus obtained is purified by placing it in a Soxhlet thimble and extracting with ether, or by dissolving the salt in 1.2 1. of ether, filtering through a thin layer of activated carbon, and evaporating the filtered ether solution to dryness. The yield of colorless crystalline salt obtained after removal of the ether is 300 g. (88%). 

The low molar ratio of the final UF-resin is adjusted by the addition of the so-called second urea, which might also be added in several steps [16-18]. Particular care and know-how are needed during this acid condensation step in order to produce resins of good performance, especially at the very low molar ratios usually in use today in the production of particleboard and MDF. This last reaction step generally also includes the vacuum distillation of the resin solution to the usual 63-66% solid content syrup in which form the resin is delivered. The distillation is performed in the manufacturing reactor itself or in a thin layer evaporator. Industrial preparation procedures are usually proprietary and are described in the literature in only a few cases [17-19]. 

In the case of thin-layer chromatography there is frequently no wait to establish complete equilibrium in the chamber before starting the development. The chamber is usually lined with a U-shaped piece of filter paper and tipped to each side after adding the mobile phase so that the filter paper is soaked with mobile phase and adheres to the wall of the chamber. As time goes on the mobile phase evaporates from the paper and would eventually saturate the inside of the chamber. 

A solution of 0.2 g of cholestenone and 0.47 g of (< 3P)3RhCl in 150 ml of acetone is stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere for 3 days. The solvent is evaporated and the residue separated by thin layer chromatography to afford 5a-cholestan-3-one in 25-35% yield. ... 

Where heat transfer is taking place at the saturation temperature of a fluid, evaporation or condensation (mass transfer) will occur at the interface, depending on the direction of heat flow. In such cases, the convective heat transfer of the fluid is accompanied by conduction at the surface to or from a thin layer in the liquid state. Since the latent heat and density of fluids are much greater than the sensible heat and density of the vapour, the rates of heat transfer are considerably higher. The process can be improved by shaping the heat exchanger face (where this is a solid) to improve the drainage of condensate or the escape of bubbles of vapour. The total heat transfer will be the sum of the two components. 

I. Baudelot coolers (see Figures 7.7 and 7.8a). The evaporator stands above a collection tank, and the water runs down the outside surface in a thin layer. Evaporator construction can be pipe coils or embossed plates. The latter are now usually of stainless steel, to avoid corrosion troubles. Evaporators maybe flooded or dry expansion. During operation, a Baudelot cooler... 

The bacteriochlorin 10 (65 mg, 0.11 mmol) was dissolved in coned H2S04 (18 mL) and allowed lo react at 20 C for 5 min. The mixture was poured into ice, diluted with H20 and NaOAc (7.5 g, 91 mmol) was added. The mixture was extracted several times with CHC13, the organic extractions were washed with H20 (2 x), dried (Na2S04) and evaporated. Preparative thin-layer chromatography (silica gel) gave 11 and 12 yields 10.7 mg (17%) and 44 mg (70%), respectively. 

Removal of solvent from the extracts leaves a residue that is purified by dry-column chromatography.2 The residue is dissolved in 40 ml. of acetone in a 300-ml., round-bottomed flask, 30 g. of silica gel (Note 8) is added, and the acetone is removed with a rotary evaporator. The resulting solid mixture is placed on top of 360 g. of dry silica gel (Note 8) packed in flexible nylon tubing (Note 9), and the column is developed with 420 ml. of 10 1 (vjv) benzene-acetone. Approximately 150 ml. of solvent drips from the bottom of the column toward the end of development, and this eluent is collected in 25-ml. fractions and checked for product by thin layer chromatography (Note 10). The column itself is then cut into 2-cm. sections, the silica gel in each section is eluted with three 25-ml. portions of ethyl acetate, and the eluent from each section is analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (Note 10). Combination of all the product-containing fractions yields 1.2-1.5g. (40-47%) of the benzylated compound as an oil, n 1.6083 (Notes 11 and 12). 

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is used both for characterization of alcohol sulfates and alcohol ether sulfates and for their analysis in mixtures. This technique, combined with the use of scanning densitometers, is a quantitative analytical method. TLC is preferred to HPLC in this case as anionic surfactants do not contain strong chromophores and the refractive index detector is of low sensitivity and not suitable for gradient elution. A recent development in HPLC detector technology, the evaporative light-scattering detector, will probably overcome these sensitivity problems.
