Fluid media

Filtering cells and cell fractions from fluid media. These particles, after concentration by filtration, may be examined through subsequent quantitative or qualitative analysis. The filtration techniques also have applications in fields related to immunology and implantation of tissues as well as in cytological evaluation of cerebrospinal, fluid. [Pg.350]

The final step of the whole reaction process is the desorption of the products. This step is essential not only for the practical purpose of collecting and storing the desired output, but also for the regeneration of the catalytic active sites of the surface. Most reactions have at least one rate-hmiting step, which frequently makes the reaction prohibitively slow for practical purposes when, e.g., it is intended for homogeneous (gas or fluid) media. The role of a good solid-state catalyst is to obtain an acceptable... [Pg.389]

Piret et al. measured liquid holdup in a column of 2J-ft diameter and 6-ft packed height, packed with graded round gravel of lj-in. size, the total voidage of the bed being 38.8%. The fluid media, air and water, were in countercurrent flow. The liquid holdup was found to increase markedly with liquid flow rate, but was independent of gas flow rate below the loading point. Above the loading point, an increase of liquid hold-up with gas flow rate was observed. [Pg.95]

Glaser and Lichtenstein (G3) measured the liquid residence-time distribution for cocurrent downward flow of gas and liquid in columns of -in., 2-in., and 1-ft diameter packed with porous or nonporous -pg-in. or -in. cylindrical packings. The fluid media were an aqueous calcium chloride solution and air in one series of experiments and kerosene and hydrogen in another. Pulses of radioactive tracer (carbon-12, phosphorous-32, or rubi-dium-86) were injected outside the column, and the effluent concentration measured by Geiger counter. Axial dispersion was characterized by variability (defined as the standard deviation of residence time divided by the average residence time), and corrections for end effects were included in the analysis. The experiments indicate no effect of bed diameter upon variability. For a packed bed of porous particles, variability was found to consist of three components (1) Variability due to bulk flow through the bed... [Pg.98]

Ross (R2) measured liquid-phase holdup and residence-time distribution by a tracer-pulse technique. Experiments were carried out for cocurrent flow in model columns of 2- and 4-in. diameter with air and water as fluid media, as well as in pilot-scale and industrial-scale reactors of 2-in. and 6.5-ft diameters used for the catalytic hydrogenation of petroleum fractions. The columns were packed with commercial cylindrical catalyst pellets of -in. diameter and length. The liquid holdup was from 40 to 50% of total bed volume for nominal liquid velocities from 8 to 200 ft/hr in the model reactors, from 26 to 32% of volume for nominal liquid velocities from 6 to 10.5 ft/hr in the pilot unit, and from 20 to 27 % for nominal liquid velocities from 27.9 to 68.6 ft/hr in the industrial unit. In that work, a few sets of results of residence-time distribution experiments are reported in graphical form, as tracer-response curves. [Pg.99]

Hoogendoorn and Lips (H10) carried out residence-time distribution experiments for countercurrent trickle flow in a column of 1.33-ft diameter and 5- and 10-ft height packed with -in. porcelain Raschig rings. The fluid media were air and water, and ammonium chloride was used as tracer. The total liquid holdup was calculated from the mean residence time as found... [Pg.99]

Larkins et al. (L2) visually observed flow patterns and measured pressure drop and liquid holdup for cocurrent downflow of gas and liquid through beds of spheres, cylinders, and Raschig rings of diameters from 3 mm to f in. in experimental columns of 2- and 4-in. diameter, as well as in a commercial unit several feet in diameter. The fluid media were air, carbon dioxide, or natural gas and water, water containing methylcellulose, water containing soap, ethylene glycol, kerosene, lubricating oil, or hexane. [Pg.101]

Siemes and Weiss (SI4) investigated axial mixing of the liquid phase in a two-phase bubble-column with no net liquid flow. Column diameter was 42 mm and the height of the liquid layer 1400 mm at zero gas flow. Water and air were the fluid media. The experiments were carried out by the injection of a pulse of electrolyte solution at one position in the bed and measurement of the concentration as a function of time at another position. The mixing phenomenon was treated mathematically as a diffusion process. Diffusion coefficients increased markedly with increasing gas velocity, from about 2 cm2/sec at a superficial gas velocity of 1 cm/sec to from 30 to 70 cm2/sec at a velocity of 7 cm/sec. The diffusion coefficient also varied with bubble size, and thus, because of coalescence, with distance from the gas distributor. [Pg.117]

Viswanathan et al. (V6) measured gas holdup in fluidized beds of quartz particles of 0.649- and 0.928-mm mean diameter and glass beads of 4-mm diameter. The fluid media were air and water. Holdup measurements were also carried out for air-water systems free of solids in order to evaluate the influence of the solid particles. It was found that the gas holdup of a bed of 4-mm particles was higher than that of a solids-free system, whereas the gas holdup in a bed of 0.649- or 0.928-mm particles was lower than that of a solids-free system. An attempt was made to correlate the gas holdup data for gas-liquid fluidized beds using a mathematical model for two-phase gas-liquid systems proposed by Bankoff (B4). [Pg.126]

The value of initiator association and the rate constant may be evaluated. Viscosity is not expected to have a significant cage effect as in free radical systems, but the extent of association may be dependent on viscosity, or other properties of the fluid media. [Pg.379]

A dielectrofilter [Lin and Benguigui, Sep. Purif. Methods, 10(1), 53 (1981) Sisson et al., Sep. Sei. Teennol., 30(7-9), 1421 (1995)] is a device which uses the action of an electric field to aid the filtration and removal of particulates from fluid media. A dielectrofilter can have a very obvious advantage over a mechanical filter in that it can remove particles which are much smaller than the flow channels in the filter. In contrast, the ideal mechanical filter must have all its passages smaller than the particles to be removed. The resultant flow resistance can be use-restrictive and energy-consuming unless a phenomenon such as dielectrofiltration is used. [Pg.25]

For both nonspecific and structure-based approaches, physicochemical solvation parameters may be used directly, or they may be embedded in quantitative structure-activity relationships.3 This chapter starts with a review of the thermodynamic equations that may be used for a quantitative description of the free energy of solutes in fluid media. Then it provides an... [Pg.63]

In Section 3.4, structural effects were often discussed in conjunction with the nature of the solvent. As emphasized in the introduction to this book, the fluorescence emitted by most molecules is indeed extremely sensitive to their microenvironment (see Figure 1.3), which explains the extensive use of fluorescent probes. The effects of solvent polarity, viscosity and acidity deserves much attention because these effects are the basis of fluorescence probing of these microenvironmental characteristics and so, later chapters of this book are devoted to these aspects. The effects of polarity and viscosity on fluorescence characteristics in fluid media and the relevant applications are presented in Chapters 7 and 8, respectively. The effect of acidity is discussed in Sections 4.5 and 10.2. This section is thus mainly devoted to rigid matrices or very viscous media, and gases. [Pg.67]

The emission should also be affected by bimolecular quenching of the triplet. In fluid media this is normally sufficient to quench all em-mission resulting from triplets generated by ordinary photolytic means. It can still be argued, however, that the redox process results in an exceptionally high local concentration of triplets. Even under these conditions, however, the emission should show sensitivity to added materials which are efficient triplet quenchers. To properly function in an ECL experiment, a triplet quencher must be electroinactive under the experimental conditions, and it must be chemically unreactive to all the species present in the emitting system. [Pg.447]

Evidence for photoassociation in the triplet manifold is at present inconclusive. Although Hoytink et al.20 have reported excimer phosphorescence from cooled ethanolic solutions of phenanthrene and naphthalene, concentration and temperature-dependent studies of the emission characteristics must be extended in order to distinguish photoassociation of the triplet state from intersystem crossing of the singlet excimer and possible triple-triplet annihilation. Certainly the decay constant of the molecular triplet state in fluid media is relatively insensitive to solute concentration21 although this... [Pg.171]

Rubber linings will dry out and get oxidized in atmospheric oxygen. Therefore it is better they remain submerged longer in fluid media so that they will last longer. [Pg.243]
