High Liquid-solid

The feed material should be porous to the solution allowing direct contact between the solvent and the phase to be dissolved, and providing a high liquid/solid area for reaction for a given mass of material. 

In cement suspensions with an excessively high liquid/solid ratio the relevant chemical reactions will still take place, but the amount of reaction products formed will be too small to result in the creation of a three-dimensional sohd network and thus cause setting. By contrast, if the amount of the liquid phase is too low, it may not be sufficient to wet the surface of the cement particles, to fill the intraparticular space, and to yield a system of paste consistency. Nevertheless, a strength development may also be observed here if the material has been snfficiently compacted. 

Heat transfer by nucleate boiling is an important mechanism in the vaporization of liqmds. It occurs in the vaporization of liquids in kettle-type and natural-circulation reboilers commonly usea in the process industries. High rates of heat transfer per unit of area (heat flux) are obtained as a result of bubble formation at the liquid-solid interface rather than from mechanical devices external to the heat exchanger. There are available several expressions from which reasonable values of the film coefficients may be obtained.

Carbon dioxide is useful where the minimum damage should be eaused to the materials at risk, on fires in liquid, solids or eleetrieal fires but not where there is a high risk of reignition. It is likely to be ineffeetive outdoors due to rapid dispersal. It is unsuitable for reaetive metals, metal hydrides or materials with their own oxygen supply, e.g. eellulose nitrate. 

Upset An upset digester does not decompose organic matter properly. The digester is characterized by low gas production, high volatile acid/alkalinity relationship, and poor liquid-solids separation. A digester in an upset condition is sometimes called a "sour" or "stuck" digester. 

Reeently, Corpstein et al. [43] found that high-effieieney impellers provide the same levels of solids suspension at redueed eapital and operating eosts. They introdueed the term just-suspended for the most eommonly eneountered level of liquid solid agitation. This oeeurs when none of the solid partieles remains stationary on the bottom of the vessel for longer than 1-2 see. They developed a eorrelation of the speed required to aehieve just-suspended eonditions as ... 

Certain highly porous solid materials selectively adsorb certain molecules. Examples are silica gel for separation of aromatics from other hydrocarbons, and activated charcoal for removing liquid components from gases. Adsorption is analogous to absorption, but the principles are different. Layers of adsorbed material, only a few molecules thick, are formed on the extensive interior area of the adsorbent - possibly as large as 50,000 sq. ft./lb of material. 

One of the common impingement plate assemblies is of the Chevron zig-zag style of Figures 4-17A and 4-30. This style of impact separation device will tolerate higher gas velocides, high liquid loading, viscous liquids, reasonable solids, relatively low pressure drops. The collected... 

Liquid-solid chromatography (LSC). This process, often termed adsorption chromatography, is based on interactions between the solute and fixed active sites on a finely divided solid adsorbent used as the stationary phase. The adsorbent, which may be packed in a column or spread on a plate, is generally a high surface area, active solid such as alumina, charcoal or silica gel, the last... 

The critical point is unique for (vapor + liquid) equilibrium. That is, no equivalent point has been found for (vapor + solid) or (liquid + solid) equilibria. There is no reason to suspect that any amount of pressure would eventually cause a solid and liquid (or a solid and gas) to have the same //m, Sm, and t/m. with an infinite o and at that point. mC02 was chosen for Figure 8.1 because of the very high vapor pressure at the (vapor + liquid + solid) triple point. In fact, it probably has the highest triple point pressure of any known substance. As a result, one can show on an undistorted graph both the triple point and the critical point. For most substances, the triple point is at so low a pressure that it becomes buried in the temperature axis on a graph with a pressure axis scaled to include the critical point. 

At high pressures, solid II can be converted (slowly) to solid III. Solid III has a body-centered cubic crystal structure. Line bd is the equilibrium line between solid II and solid III, while line be is the melting line for solid III.P A triple point is present between solid II, solid III, and liquid at point b. Two other triple points are present in this system, but they are at too low a pressure to show on the phase diagram. One involves solid II, liquid, and vapor while the other has solid I, solid II, and vapor in equilibrium. 

Characterization439 Inherent viscosity before and after solid-sate polymerization is 0.46 and 3.20 dL/g, respectively (0.5 g/dL in pentafluorophenol at 25°C). DSC Tg = 135°C, Tm = 317°C. A copolyester of similar composition440 exhibited a liquid crystalline behavior with crystal-nematic and nematic-isotropic transition temperatures at 307 and 410°C, respectively (measured by DSC and hot-stage polarizing microscopy). The high-resolution solid-state 13C NMR study of a copolyester with a composition corresponding to z2/zi = 1-35 has been reported.441...
