Infrared and Microwave Inks. These ate inks which have been formulated to absorb these radiant energies. The energy causes the inks to heat and dry through the partial evaporation of solvent. Absorption of the ink into a porous substrate can also be part of the overall drying mechanism with these inks. They have not found wide commercial success due to the variabiHty of the it absorption with ink color and the energy inefficiency of microwave systems in drying nonwater-based inks. 

A variation of this process uses an emulsified bitumen product that is miscible with a wet sludge. In this process, the mixing can be performed at any convenient temperature below the boiling point of the mixture. The overall mass must still be heated and dried before it is suitable for disposal. Ratios of emulsions to waste of 1 1 to 1 1.5 are necessary for adequate incorporation. 

The diverse types of plant in this category would be too numerous to list, but include steam-jacketed pans, steam calorifiers, steam heating and drying units and all types of air-pressure vessels. These are manufactured in a wide range of materials (e.g. stainless steel) and may then be lined with materials such as mbber or glass, depending on the needs of the process in which the vessel will be used. 

In rotary dryers the solids are conveyed along the inside of a rotating, inclined, cylinder and are heated and dried by direct contact with hot air gases flowing through the cylinder. In some, the cylinders are indirectly heated. 

The technology is self-limiting as the soil heats and dries, current will stop flowing. Extracted vapor can then be treated by a variety of existing technologies, such as GAC or incineration. 

Figure 4.2 presents a simplified flow diagram of the ENCOAL Liquid from Coal (LFC) process. The process upgrades low-rank coals to two fuels, Process-Derived Coal (PDF ) and Coal-Derived Liquid (CDL ). Coal is first crushed and screened to about 50 mm by 3 mm and conveyed to a rotary grate dryer, where it is heated and dried by a hot gas stream under controlled conditions. The gas temperature and solids residence time are controlled so that the moisture content of the coal is reduced but pyrolysis reactions are not initiated. Under the drier operating conditions most of the coal moisture content is released however, releases of methane, carbon dioxide, and monoxide are minimal. The dried coal is then transferred to a pyrolysis reactor, where hot recycled gas heats the coal to about 540°C. The solids residence time... 

Europeum generally is produced from two common rare earth minerals monazite, a rare earth-thorium orthophosphate, and bastnasite, a rare earth fluocarbonate. The ores are crushed and subjected to flotation. They are opened by sulfuric acid. Reaction with concentrated sulfuric acid at a temperature between 130 to 170°C converts thorium and the rare earths to their hydrous sulfates. The reaction is exothermic which raises the temperature to 250°C. The product sulfates are treated with cold water which dissolves the thorium and rare earth sulfates. The solution is then treated with sodium sulfate which precipitates rare earth elements by forming rare earth-sodium double salts. The precipitate is heated with sodium hydroxide to obtain rare earth hydrated oxides. Upon heating and drying, cerium hydrated oxide oxidizes to tetravalent ceric(lV) hydroxide. When the hydrated oxides are treated with hydrochloric acid or nitric acid, aU but Ce4+ salt dissolves in the acid. The insoluble Ce4+ salt is removed. 

Caution The Sodium salt of nitromethane can undergo detonation upon heating and drying (30). 

The dry heat tunnel is connected directly after the washing machine. Starting at this point, the vials will be processed under class 100 laminar flow areas. First, the washed vials are loaded directly to the preheating zone of the tunnel, which is covered by HEPA filtered laminar flow. The vials are heated and dried properly before passing to the second stage, sterilization and depyrogenation zones. Finally, the vials will be cooled down to room temperature at the cooling zone. 

A reactor was charged with 1,10-diaminodecane (20 mmol) dissolved in 170 ml of /V, /V - d i m e t h I fo rm amide containing pyromellitic anhydride (20 mmol) and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 60 hours. It was then precipitated in 4 liters of acetone/hydrochloric acid, 1 4, respectively, and collected. The solid was washed with aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and acetone and then heated and dried in vacuum at 60°C for 36 hours and 7.65 g of product isolated as a white powder. 

The step 1 product (3 mmol) was dissolved in 100 ml of A,A -dimethylformamide and then treated with thionyl chloride (15 mmol) and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 6 hours. This mixture was then treated with sulfamic acid (30 mmol) and triethylamine (30 mmol) dissolved in 15 ml of CH2CI2 and stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was then concentrated at 50°C and stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. It was then centrifuged, the solid isolated and dissolved in 100 ml of , 7-dimethylformamide, and then passed through the cation exchange resin AMBERLYST 15JWET. Thereafter the solution was concentrated to 10 ml and precipitated in 200 ml of water. The precipitate was heated and dried in vacuum at 70°C for 24 hours and 0.68 g product isolated as a light brown powder.

Cadmium Acetate. Cadmium acetate [543-90-8], Cd(CH3COO)2 vdLO, can exist as the anhydrous salt (n = 0) mp 256°C, d = 2.341 g/mL or as one of a series of hydrates (n = 1-3). The anhydrous material may be prepared by treating cadmium nitrate with acetic anhydride or by very careful heating and drying the dihydrate at 130°C. The cadmium acetate dihydrate [5743-044], d = 2.01 g/mL, is obtained by dissolving cadmium metal or its oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate in acetic acid and crystallizing. Cadmium acetate monohydrate [543-90-8] may be obtained from the dihydrate by careful drying. All acetates are very soluble in water and alcohols. 

Possibly the first synthetic composite to he used by humans was brick. Brick is a mixture of straw and clay that has been heated and dried. In their original form, bricks were made of clay only. Such bricks, properly called mud or clay bricks, were among the first building materials to be used by humans. The raw material, clay, was... 

Microwave-assisted extractions (MAE) can be performed in open (focused MAE) or closed (pressurized MAE) flasks. This technique is commonly used for extractions from complex and difficult sample matrices, replacing time- and solvent-intensive Soxhlet extractions or hydrodistillations.46 MAE is also widely applied to environmental samples, for example, for extracting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from soil, methylmercury from sediments, and trace metals and pesticide residues from plant material47 48 The use of microwave treatment instead of hydrodistillation offers a solvent-free separation technique essential oils are heated and dry-distilled 46... 

A conveniently situated, modest-sized (approximately 120-square-foot) storage area would suffice and it should be smooth, light colored, linoleum floored with Formica type shelving, non-heated, and dry. (Bear in mind that some sampling kits contain flammable solvents.) The store should be lock-able and under the directed control of an appointed officer and used exclusively for the storage of suspect sampling materials for use at that location only. There must be a strict accounting system for all materials.
