One of the more recent advances in XPS is the development of photoelectron microscopy [ ]. By either focusing the incident x-ray beam, or by using electrostatic lenses to image a small spot on the sample, spatially-resolved XPS has become feasible. The limits to the spatial resolution are currently of the order of 1 pm, but are expected to improve. This teclmique has many teclmological applications. For example, the chemical makeup of micromechanical and microelectronic devices can be monitored on the scale of the device dimensions. 

Slurries of free-filtering sohds that are difficult to suspend are sometimes filtered on a top-feed drum filter or filter-diyer. An example application is in the production of table salt. An alternative for slurries of extremely coarse, dense solids is the internal drum filter. In the chemical-process industiy both top-feed and internal drums (which are described briefly by Emmett in Schweitzer, op. cit., p. 4-41) have largely been displaced by the horizontal vacuum filter (q.v). 

Examples of chemical reactions have been presented and carried out in different types of HEX reactors. Applications such as oxidation, nitration, hydrosilylation, are still in progress in the industrial companies... 

The most intensive development of the nanoparticle area concerns the synthesis of metal particles for applications in physics or in micro/nano-electronics generally. Besides the use of physical techniques such as atom evaporation, synthetic techniques based on salt reduction or compound precipitation (oxides, sulfides, selenides, etc.) have been developed, and associated, in general, to a kinetic control of the reaction using high temperatures, slow addition of reactants, or use of micelles as nanoreactors [15-20]. Organometallic compounds have also previously been used as material precursors in high temperature decomposition processes, for example in chemical vapor deposition [21]. Metal carbonyls have been widely used as precursors of metals either in the gas phase (OMCVD for the deposition of films or nanoparticles) or in solution for the synthesis after thermal treatment [22], UV irradiation or sonolysis [23,24] of fine powders or metal nanoparticles. 

Typical examples such as the ones mentioned above, are used throughout this book and they cover most of the applications chemical engineers are faced with. In addition to the problem definition, the mathematical development and the numerical results, the implementation of each algorithm is presented in detail and computer listings of selected problems are given in the attached CD. 

In the following, we will discuss heteronuclear polarization-transfer techniques in four different contexts. They can be used as a polarization-transfer method to increase the sensitivity of a nucleus and to shorten the recycle delay of an experiment as it is widely used in 1H-13C or 1H-15N cross polarization. Heteronuclear polarization-transfer methods can also be used as the correlation mechanism in a multi-dimensional NMR experiment where, for example, the chemical shifts of two different spins are correlated. The third application is in measuring dipolar coupling constants in order to obtain distance information between selected nuclei as is often done in the REDOR experiment. Finally, heteronuclear polarization transfer also plays a role in measuring dihedral angles by generating heteronuclear double-quantum coherences. 

In the modem world, the importance of new materials with new and specific properties is getting higher than ever. For example, in chemical engineering designing new catalysts for Industrial applications with... 

The text/plain example above demonstrates that HTTP networks can support distributed information systems when given appropriate languages, that is, languages that describe abstractions appropriate to that information system. Many other standard MIME types are useful. Most are very specific, for example, image/gif is a specific format for bitmapped images, application/PDF is a page description format and application/tar is a 4.3 BSD archive. Some describe more general abstractions, for example, application/xml . Private (unauthorized) MIME types are also available, for example, chemical/x-pdb and chemical/x-smiles .

Before discussing all these biopolymer applications, we first take this opportunity to remind the reader that, in general, any thermodynamic variable can be expressed as the sum of two functions, one of which depends only on the temperature and pressure, and another which depends on the system composition (expressed as the mole fraction xt of the /-component). Therefore, for example, the chemical potential fM of the /-component of the system at constant temperature T and pressure p (the general experimental conditions), /. e., partial molar Gibbs free energy (dG/dn TtP may be expressed as (Prigogine and Defay, 1954) ...

One of the most intriguing aspects of electrochemistry involves the homogeneous chemical reactions that often accompany heterogeneous electron-transfer processes occurring at the electrode-solution interface. The addition or removal of an electron from a molecule generates a new redox state, which can be chemically reactive. A variety of mechanisms, some of which involve complicated sequences of electrode and chemical reactions, have been characterized. Several of the more common mechanisms with examples of applicable chemical systems are described next. More examples are given in Chaps. 21 and 23. 

Having debated the mechanism of charge transport within the polymer film, it is now useful to consider a few examples of chemical applications of polymer modified electrodes. Electrodes coated with [Ru(bipy)2Cl(PVP)]Cl or [Ru(bipy)2(py)(PVP)]Cl2 show strong catalytic effects for the reduction of cerium(IV) and the oxidation of iron(II).52...
