Glass separating

The variety of designs in use for MRFs in the United States results in different quality products. As recycling rates increase, new facilities are buUt. For glass separation, the foUowing devices are typically utilized.

The microfiber glass separators have to fill the space between the electrodes completely the backweb thickness, is thus identical to the total thickness. Due to the high compressibility of such porous glass mats, a standard measuring pressure of 2 kPa or 10 kPa (BCI method) is generally used during assembly they are compressed... 

Picer and Picer [357] evaluated the application ofXAD-2, XAD-4, and Tenax macroreticular resins for concentrations of chlorinated insecticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in seawater prior to analysis by electron capture gas chromatography. The solvents that were used eluted not only the chlorinated hydrocarbons of interest but also other electron capture sensitive materials, so that eluates had to be purified. The eluates from the Tenax column were combined and the non-polar phase was separated from the polar phase in a glass separating funnel. Then the polar phase was extracted twice with n-pentane. The -pentane extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated to 1 ml and cleaned on an alumina column using a modification of the method described by Holden and Marsden. The eluates were placed on a silica gel column for the separation of PCBs from DDT, its metabolites, and dieldrin using a procedure described by Snyder and Reinert [359] and Picer and Abel [360]. 

In principle, the auxiliary electrode can be of any material since its electrochemical reactivity does not affect the behaviour of the working electrode, which is our prime concern. To ensure that this is the case, the auxiliary electrode must be positioned in such a way that its activity does not generate electroactive substances that can reach the working electrode and interfere with the process under study. For this reason, in some techniques the auxiliary electrode is placed in a separate compartment, by means of sintered glass separators, from the working electrode. 

Under certain time and temperature conditions, the homogeneous glass separates into two phases. One of the phases consists substantially of silicon dioxide which is insoluble in mineral acid. The other phase represents a soluble coherent boric acid phase rich in alkali borate. If the boric acid phase is dissolved out of this heterogeneous glass structure with a mineral acid, a porous skeleton of substantially insoluble silicon dioxide is left. The phase separation region occurs between 500°C and 800 C.

From Figure 18.8 it is clear that all kinds of impact categories are involved in both extraction techniques. At this stage of the assessment, it looks as if SPE has the lower environmental load in almost all categories with the exception of minerals. This emerges directly from the types of devices used in SPE, as opposed to LLE, where only a simple glass separator is used.

US applications, where the ultrasonic field can induce potential oscillations [169]). Somewhat less common is the use of split cell arrangements where a glass separator [145] or a polymer coating [170] is used to separate the compartments in which the ultrasonic tip and the electrodes are immersed. 

The vertical 0.8-m-high, 2-m-wide double-pane wlndov/ shown in Fig. 9-29 consists of two sheets of glass separated by a 2-cm air gap at atmospheric pressure. If the glass surface temperatures across the air gap are measured to be 12 C and 2°C, determine the rate of heat transfer through the window.
