Foreign Glass Fragments

A common cause of erosion is partial obstruction of tubes by foreign bodies. At the inlet end, for example, debris such as sticks, glass fragments, and wood chips may lodge in tube ends or be held against the tubes by water flow. The nominal velocity of the water past the obstruction increases according to the degree of obstruction. It can be shown... [Pg.247]

Radioactive tracers adsorb not only on solid container surfaces and precipitates but on any kind of solid material suspended or in contact with the solution. Dust, cellulose fibers, glass fragments, organic materials, etc., are examples of substances that readily adsorb radioactive tracers from solution. If the solution contains large molecules as, for example, polymeric metal hydrolysis products, these also tend to adsorb trace elem ts. In addition to sorption, the presence of such material in the solution can lead to the phenomenon of radiocolloid formation, which is the attachment of radionuclides to semicolloidal aggregates in solution. If the solution is kept at sufficiently low pH and extremely free from foreign particles, sorption and radiocolloid formation are usually avoided as major problems. [Pg.243]

Foreign bodies can be found in the subcutaneous tissues as the result of traumatic injuries or therapeutic procedures. In a post-traumatic setting, foreign bodies derive from open or penetrating wounds. Most are composed of plant fragments (wood splinters, thorns, etc.), metal or glass. In terms of prevalence, wood fragments are the most frequently found, fol-... [Pg.28]

Foreign body granulomas develop in response to fragments of wood, thorns, glass or plastic objects that have penetrated the soft tissues of the foot. They are almost invariably found in the subcutaneous fat at the plantar aspect of the foot, particularly in subjects who walk barefoot. The US characteristics of these lesions have been described in Chapters 2 and 11 (Fig. 17.58). [Pg.882]
