Precipitated Calcium Carbonate. Precipitated calcium carbonate can be produced by several methods but only the carbonation process is commercially used in the United States. Limestone is calcined in a kiln to obtain carbon dioxide and quicklime. The quicklime is mixed with water to produce a milk-of-lime. Dry hydrated lime can also be used as a feedstock. Carbon dioxide gas is bubbled through the milk-of-lime in a reactor known as a carbonator. Gassing continues until the calcium hydroxide has been converted to the carbonate. The end point can be monitored chemically or by pH measurements. Reaction conditions determine the type of crystal, the size of particles, and the size distribution produced. 

Other applications of REELM include monitoring variations like oxidation, segregation, and hydration in the surface chemistry of polycrystalline materials. Differences of 1 /10 of a monolayer in oxygen coverage due to variations in grain... 

The corrosion of tin in various atmospheres has been extensively monitored recently using XPS and AES techniques ". While it is difficult to resolve the peaks from the tin oxides and establish their degree of surface hydration, there is general agreement that both SnO and SnOj may be present depending on the temperature of exposure to oxygen. 

INEFFECTIVE TISSUE PERFUSION RENAL The patient taking an aminoglycoside is at risk for nephrotoxicity. The nurse measures and records the intake and output and notifies the primary health care provider if the output is less than 750 ml/day. It is important to keep a record of the fluid intake and output as well as a daily weight to assess hydration and renal function. The nurse encourages fluid intake to 2000 ml/day (if the patient s condition permits). Any changes in the intake and output ratio or in the appearance of the urine may indicate nephrotoxicity. The nurse reports these types of changes to the primary health care provider promptly. The primary health care provider may order daily laboratory tests (ie, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen [BUN]) to monitor renal function. The nurse reports any elevation in the creatinine or BUN level to tiie primary health care provider because an elevation may indicate renal dysfunction. 

MANAGING DIARRHEA. Measures to manage diarrhea include a low-residue diet while the bowel rests. Electrolytes are monitored and supplemented as needed. Adequate hydration must be maintained intravenous fluids may be necessary. If diarrhea is severe, therapy may be delayed or stopped or the dose decreased. 

The rate parameters for the reactions of e (aq) with substrates are generally determined by monitoring the disappearance of the hydrated electron at 600-700 nm. The first order rate parameters are generally determined over a range of substrate concentrations and the second order rate parameter calculated from the resulting linear relation. The data available for such studies with Pu ions are presented in Table IV.

From the above, derives the fundamental concept that the newborn infant must be maintained in an adequate degree of hydration and in electrolyte balance in order for the infant to thrive. In some cases, where for one reason or other, the infant is not able to take fluids by mouth in the normal manner, one may need to resort to supplementary fluid therapy by vein. For a rational approach to this problem one needs to have available from the clinical chemical laboratory> rapid response in order to continuously monitor changes in electrolyte levels so that fluids can be modified so as to correct these abnormal-ities. 

A mechanistic model for the kinetics of gas hydrate formation was proposed by Englezos et al. (1987). The model contains one adjustable parameter for each gas hydrate forming substance. The parameters for methane and ethane were determined from experimental data in a semi-batch agitated gas-liquid vessel. During a typical experiment in such a vessel one monitors the rate of methane or ethane gas consumption, the temperature and the pressure. Gas hydrate formation is a crystallization process but the fact that it occurs from a gas-liquid system under pressure makes it difficult to measure and monitor in situ the particle size and particle size distribution as well as the concentration of the methane or ethane in the water phase. 

Monitor for the maintenance of hydration, particularly when symptoms continue for more than 48 hours. Look for increasing thirst, decreased urination, dark-colored urine, dry mucous membranes, and rapid heartbeat as suggestive of dehydration, especially when nausea and vomiting have been present. 

The mainstay of treatment for vaso-occlusive crisis includes hydration and analgesia (see Table 65-7). Pain may involve the extremities, back, chest, and abdomen. Patients with mild pain crises may be treated as outpatients with rest, warm compresses to the affected (painful) area, increased fluid intake, and oral analgesia. Patients with moderate to severe crises should be hospitalized. Infection should be ruled out because it may trigger a pain crisis, and any patient presenting with fever or critical illness should be started on empirical broad-spectrum antibiotics. Patients who are anemic should be transfused to their baseline. Intravenous or oral fluids at 1.5 times maintenance is recommended. Close monitoring of the patient s fluid status is important to avoid overhydration, which can lead to ACS, volume overload, or heart failure.6,27...

When either 7 or 8 were applied as catalysts for the hydration of 1-hexyne, neither hexanal nor 2-hexanone were detected. Intriguingly, however, because we monitored the reactions carefully by H and 31P NMR spectroscopy, we realized that both 7 and 8 were converted cleanly to another species. Repeating the reactions of 7 or 8 with 1-hexyne on larger scale in the absence of added water led to isolation of metallacycles 9 and 10, which were fully identified by NMR spectroscopy, and ultimately, by X-ray diffraction.
