FCC cell

Relation between side of cell (s) and atomic radius (r). To see how these two quantities are related, consider an FCC cell in which atoms touch along a face diagonal As you can see from Figure 9.17—... 

In a face-centered cubic cell tetrahedral interstices (T) are formed to each comer. Therefore, the cell has 8 T-interstices. However, the distribution of the particles in FCC cell causes the appearance to an additional t) e of voids the octahedral interstices. 

However, effectively summing for the 12 edges of the elementary cell, follows that only 12 (1/4) = 3 complete octahedral interstices belonging per edge thus, in total, the FCC cell has four complete octahedral interstitials. 

There is important to remember that in FCC cell the number of tetrahedral interstices (8T) is double respecting those of the octahedral form (40) and that the dimension of a tetrahedral spherical interstice is much smaller that the octahedral one, see comparatively the deduced values from Figures 4.17 and 4.19, respectively. 

In the compact cubic arrangement, the FCC cell of Figure 4.15, the particles are in contact on the face s diagonal so that ...

The FCC structure is illustrated in figure Al.3.2. Metallic elements such as calcium, nickel, and copper fonu in the FCC structure, as well as some of the inert gases. The conventional unit cell of the FCC structure is cubic with the lengdi of the edge given by the lattice parameter, a. There are four atoms in the conventional cell. In the primitive unit cell, there is only one atom. This atom coincides with the lattice pomts. The lattice vectors for the primitive cell are given by... 

The rocksalt stmcture is illustrated in figure Al.3.5. This stmcture represents one of the simplest compound stmctures. Numerous ionic crystals fonn in the rocksalt stmcture, such as sodium chloride (NaCl). The conventional unit cell of the rocksalt stmcture is cubic. There are eight atoms in the conventional cell. For the primitive unit cell, the lattice vectors are the same as FCC. The basis consists of two atoms one at the origin and one displaced by one-half the body diagonal of the conventional cell. 

Copper has a FCC structure with one atom m the primitive unit cell. From simple orbital counting, one might...

These figures were produced by the software program BALSAC [35]-...

Danckwerts and Gillham did not investigate the influence of the gas-phase resistance in their study (for some processes gas-phase resistance may be neglected). However, in 1975 Danckwerts and Alper [Trans. Tn.st. Chem. Eng., 53, 34 (1975)] showed that by placing a stirrer in the gas space of the stirred-cell laboratoiy absorber, the gas-phase mass-transfer coefficient fcc in the laboratoiy unit could be made identical to that in a packed-tower absorber. When this was done, laboratoiy data obtained for chemically reacting systems having a significant gas-side resistance coiild successfully be sc ed up to predict the performance of a commercial packed-tower absorber. 

Aluminum distribution in zeolites is also important to the catalytic activity. An inbalance in charge between the silicon atoms in the zeolite framework creates active sites, which determine the predominant reactivity and selectivity of FCC catalyst. Selectivity and octane performance are correlated with unit cell size, which in turn can be correlated with the number of aluminum atoms in the zeolite framework. ...

A conventional FCC unit can be an olefin machine with proper operating conditions and hardware. Catalysts with a low unit cell size and a high silica/alumina ratio favor olefins. Additionally, the addition of ZSM-5, with its lower acid site density and very high framework silica-alumina ratio, converts gasoline into olefins. A high reactor temperature and elimination of the post-riser residence time will also produce more olefins. Mechanical modification of the FCC riser for millisecond cracking has shown potential for maximizing olefin yield. 

Face-centered cubic cell (FCC). Here there is an atom at each comer of the cube and one in the center of each of the six faces of the cube. In this structure, atoms at the comers of the cube do not touch one another they are forced slightly apart Instead, contact occurs along a face diagonal The atom at the center of each face touches atoms at opposite comers of the face. 

Silver is a metal commonly used in jewelry and photography. It crystallizes with a face-centered cubic (FCC) unit cell 0.407 nm on an edge. 

Reality Check In FCC unit cells, the fraction of empty space is 0.26. When this is factored into the above, the calculated density of silver becomes 14.3 — (0.26)(14.3) =...

Fig. 16.—Antiparallel packing arrangement of 3-fold sodium pectate (13) helices, (a) Stereo view of two unit cells roughly normal to the fcc-plane. The helix at the center (open bonds) is antiparallel to the two in the front (tilled bonds). Intrachain hydrogen bonds stabilize each helix. Sodium ions (crossed circles) and water molecules (open circles) connect adjacent helices, (b) A view of the unitcell contents down the t -axis highlights the ions and water molecules located between the helices.

In the majority of cases where adsorbates form ordered structures, the unit cells of these structures are longer than that of the substrate they are referred to as superlattices. Two notations are used to describe the superlattice, the Wood notation and a matrix notation.18 Some examples of overlayer structures at an fcc(llO) surface are as follows ... 

The unit cell volume, and with it the T, can also be increased by incorporation of a neutral molecule such as ammonia into the lattice by leaving the fcc-structure and oxidation state of the metal intact (Table 2.4). If the cubic lattice is disordered by this incorporation, a decrease rather than an increase of is observed [113,122, 123].

Besides the conventionel, cubic cell, the FCC lattice can be build from a primitive cell. The primitive cell is awkward for many purposes. First it is a parallelipiped and not cubic. Secondly, the crystallograhic directions are defined with respect to the conventional cell. 

The figure shows the conventional cell for FCC. This cell is cubic and contains 4 atoms.
