The dependence of viscosity on volume fraction sohds is shown in Fig. 8.88. At high particle concentrations, viscosity of the suspension increases more rapidly than predicted by the above equation due to interparticle interactions. Several empirical equations are available to relate viscosity to the solid concentration behavior of suspensions. As the volume fraction of solids is increased further, a stage will be reached where the particles will be interlocked and no flow will occur (i.e., viscosity approaches infinity). The volume fraction of sohds at which this occurs is called the maximum packing fraction and its... 

Nitro-n-hexane. Use 41 g. of dry silver nitrite, 51 g. of n-hexyl iodide (35-5 ml.) and 100 ml. of sodium dried ether. Reflux on a water bath for 8 hours decant the ethereal solution and wash the sohd well with sodium dried ether. Distil the residue, after the removal of the ether from the combined extracts, from 5 g. of dry silver nitrite, and collect the fraction of b.p. 190-192° (13 g.) as 1-nitro -hexane. The pure compound is obtained by distilling under diminished pressure b.p. 81 6°/15 mm. 

Furfuryl acetate. Reflux a mixture of 39 2 g. (34-8 ml.) of redistilled furfuryl alcohol, 48 g. of glacial acetic acid, 150 ml. of benzene and 20 g. of Zeo-Karb 225/H in a 500 ml. bolt-head flask, using the apparatus described under iaoPropyl Lactate. After 3 hours, when the rate of collection of water in the water separator is extremely slow, allow to cool, separate the resin by suction filtration, and wash it with three 15 ml. portions of benzene. Remove the benzene, etc., from the combined filtrate and washings under reduced pressure (water pump) and then collect the crude ester at 74-90°/10 mm. a small sohd residue remains in the flask. Redistil the crude ester from a Claisen flask with fractionating side arm pure furfuryl acetate passes over at 79-80°/17 mm. The yield is 14 -5 g. 

Transfer the reaction product to a 500 ml. Claisen flask and distil over a wire gauze or from an air bath. Some acetyl chloride and acetic acid passes over first, the temperature then rises, and the fraction, b.p. 150-200°, is collected separately run out the water from the condenser when the temperature reaches 150°. The fraction, b.p. 150-200°, solidifies on cooling. Drain off any hquid from the crystals as rapidly as possible, and redistil the solid using an air condenser. CoUect the fraction b.p. 182-192° this sets to a sohd mass on cooling and melts at 63°. The yield of monochloroacetic acid is 150-175 g. 

Vinylacetic acid. Place 134 g. (161 ml.) of allyl cyanide (3) and 200 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid in a 1-htre round-bottomed flask attached to a reflux condenser. Warm the mixture cautiously with a small flame and shake from time to time. After 7-10 minutes, a vigorous reaction sets in and the mixture refluxes remove the flame and cool the flask, if necessary, in cold water. Ammonium chloride crystallises out. When the reaction subsides, reflux the mixture for 15 minutes. Then add 200 ml. of water, cool and separate the upper layer of acid. Extract the aqueous layer with three 100 ml. portions of ether.

A dark residue (about 10 ml.) and some white sohd ( crotonio acid) remains in the flask. Fraction (6) weighs 100 g. and is analytically pure vinylacetic acid. Fraction (a) weighs about 50 g. and separates into two layers remove the water layer, dry with anhydrous sodium sulphate and distil from a 50 ml. Claisen flask with fractionating side arm a further 15 g. of reasonably pure acid, b.p. 69-70°/12 mm., is obtained. 

Separations based upon differences in the physical properties of the components. When procedures (1) or (2) are unsatisfactory for the separation of a mixture of organic compounds, purely physical methods may be employed. Thus a mixture of volatile liquids may be fractionally distilled (compare Sections 11,15 and 11,17) the degree of separation may be determined by the range of boiling points and/or the refractive indices and densities of the different fractions that are collected. A mixture of non-volatile sohds may frequently be separated by making use of the differences in solubilities in inert solvents the separation is usually controlled by m.p. determinations. Sometimes one of the components of the mixture is volatile and can be separated by sublimation (see Section 11,45). 

Ciyst lliz tion. Low temperature fractional crystallization was the first and for many years the only commercial technique for separating PX from mixed xylenes. As shown in Table 2, PX has a much higher freezing point than the other xylene isomers. Thus, upon cooling, a pure soHd phase of PX crystallizes first. Eventually, upon further cooling, a temperature is reached where soHd crystals of another isomer also form. This is called the eutectic point. PX crystals usually form at about —4° C and the PX-MX eutectic is reached at about —68° C. In commercial practice, PX crystallization is carried out at a temperature just above the eutectic point. At all temperatures above the eutectic point, PX is stiU soluble in the remaining Cg aromatics Hquid solution,... 

HMX, the highest density and highest energy soHd explosive produced on a large scale, primarily for military use, exists in four polymorphic forms. The beta form is the least sensitive, most stable, and the type requited for military use. The mole fraction products of detonation of HMX in a calorimetric bomb are 3.68 N2, 3.18 H2, 1.92 CO2, 1.06 CO, 0.97 C, 0.395 NH3, and 0.30 H2. 

In the case of a packed column, the terms on the right-hand side should each be divided by the voidage, ie, the volume fraction not occupied by the soHd packing (71). In unpacked columns at low values of the sHp velocity approximates the terminal velocity of an isolated drop, but the sHp velocity decreases with holdup and may also be affected by column internals such as agitators, baffle plates, etc. The sHp velocity can generally be represented by (73) ... 

Referring to Figure 2, by considering solute mass balances over n, (n — 1),. .. 2, 1 units in turn and eliminating intermediate solute mass fractions and flow rates, the amount of solute associated with the leached sohd may be calculated in terms of the composition of the sohd and solvent streams fed to the system. The resulting equation is (2)... 

Fig. 2. The plot of total reduced iron, Fe, and oxidized iron, Fe, normalized to Si abundance shows how the chondrite classes fall into groups distinguished by oxidation state and total Fe Si ratio. The soHd diagonal lines delineate compositions having constant total Fe Si ratios of 0.6 and 0.8. The fractionation of total Fe Si is likely the result of the relative efficiencies of accumulation of metal and siUcate materials into the meteorite parent bodies. The variation in oxidation state is the result of conditions in the solar nebula when the soHds last reacted with gas. Terms are defined in Table 1 (3).

The fractionation of these refractory elements is beheved to be the result of relative efficiencies of incorporation of condensed sohds rich in early high temperature phases into the meteorite parent bodies at different times and locations in the solar nebula. The data are taken from Reference 3. 

Fractional crystallization may be accompHshed on a batch, continuous, or semicontkiuous basis. Oil is chilled continuously while passkig through the unit and is then passed over a continuous belt filter which separates soHd fat from the Hquid oil. The process gives poorer separation compared to solvent fractionation because oils are viscous at crystallization temperatures and are entrained to a significant extent ki the soHd fraction. The Hquid fraction, however, is relatively free of saturated material. 

There is often a wide range of crystalline soHd solubiUty between end-member compositions. Additionally the ferroelectric and antiferroelectric Curie temperatures and consequent properties appear to mutate continuously with fractional cation substitution. Thus the perovskite system has a variety of extremely usehil properties. Other oxygen octahedra stmcture ferroelectrics such as lithium niobate [12031 -63-9] LiNbO, lithium tantalate [12031 -66-2] LiTaO, the tungsten bron2e stmctures, bismuth oxide layer stmctures, pyrochlore stmctures, and order—disorder-type ferroelectrics are well discussed elsewhere (4,12,22,23). 

Separation Efficiency. Similarly to other unit operations in chemical engineering, filtration is never complete. Some soflds may leave in the hquid stream, and some Hquid will be entrained with the separated soHds. As emphasis on the separation efficiency of soHds or Hquid varies with application, the two are usually measured separately. Separation of solids is measured by total or fractional recovery, ie, how much of the incoming solids is coUected by the filter. Separation of Hquid usually is measured in how much of it has been left in the filtration cake for a surface filter, ie, moisture content, or in the concentrated slurry for a filter-thickener, ie, solids concentration. 

In apphcations where the fraction of fine particles in the soHds of the feed slurry is low, a simple and relatively cheap vacuum filter can yield cakes with moisture contents comparable to those discharged by pressure filters. Vacuum filters include the only truly continuous filters built in large sizes that can provide for washing, drying, and other process requirements. 

In order to make a multipurpose plant even more versatile than module IV, equipment for unit operations such as soHd materials handling, high temperature/high pressure reaction, fractional distillation (qv), Hquid—Hquid extraction (see Extraction, liquid-liquid), soHd—Hquid separation, thin-film evaporation (qv), dryiag (qv), size reduction (qv) of soHds, and adsorption (qv) and absorption (qv), maybe iastalled. 

The turbulent fluidized bed has a similar or slightly lower soHds volume fraction than the vigorously bubbling bed. There is considerable transport of soHds out of the turbulent bed and the bed level is not very distinct. Large-scale cyclones are needed to return soHds to the bed. On average, the bed inventory passes through the cyclones several times per hour. 

Fine Powder Resins. Fine powder PTFE resins are extremely sensitive to shear. They must be handled gendy to avoid shear, which prevents processing. However, fine powder is suitable for the manufacture of tubing and wire insulation for which compression molding is not suitable. A paste-extmsion process may be appHed to the fabrication of tubes with diameters from fractions of a millimeter to about a meter, walls from thicknesses of 100—400 )J.m, thin rods with up to 50-mm diameters, and cable sheathing. Calendering unsintered extmded soHd rods produces thread-sealant tape and gaskets. 

As a good first approximation (187), the heat conduction of low density foams through the soHd and gas phases can be expressed as the product of the thermal conductivity of each phase times its volume fraction. Most rigid polymers have thermal conductivities of 0.07-0.28 W/(m-K) and the corresponding conduction through the soHd phase of a 32 kg/m (2 lbs/fT) foam (3 vol %) ranges 0.003-0.009 W/(m-K). In most cellular polymers this value is deterrnined primarily by the density of the foam and the polymer-phase composition. Smaller variations can result from changes in cell stmcture. 

Rheology. The rheology of foam is striking it simultaneously shares the hallmark rheological properties of soHds, Hquids, and gases. Like an ordinary soHd, foams have a finite shear modulus and respond elastically to a small shear stress. However, if the appHed stress is increased beyond the yield stress, the foam flows like a viscous Hquid. In addition, because they contain a large volume fraction of gas, foams are quite compressible, like gases. Thus foams defy classification as soHd, Hquid, or vapor, and their mechanical response to external forces can be very complex. 

Foams have a wide variety of appHcations that exploit their different physical properties. The low density, or high volume fraction of gas, enable foams to float on top of other fluids and to fiU large volumes with relatively Httle fluid material. These features are of particular importance in their use for fire fighting. The very high internal surface area of foams makes them useful in many separation processes. The unique rheology of foams also results in a wide variety of uses, as a foam can behave as a soHd, while stiH being able to flow once its yield stress is exceeded.
