Intermediate between phase equilibria

Because of the interest in its use in elevated-temperature molten salt electrolyte batteries, one of the first binary alloy systems studied in detail was the lithium-aluminium system. As shown in Fig. 1, the potential-composition behavior shows a long plateau between the lithium-saturated terminal solid solution and the intermediate P phase "LiAl", and a shorter one between the composition limits of the P and y phases, as well as composition-dependent values in the single-phase regions [35], This is as expected for a binary system with complete equilibrium. The potential of the first plateau varies linearly with temperature, as shown in Fig. 2. 

The differing conformations of the ribose have been named with respect to that ring atom which puckers out of the plane given by the other ring atoms. The most prominent conformations are Cy-endo in B-helices and Cy-endo in A-helices. At room temperature both conformers are in a dynamic equilibrium. Intermediates between Cy-endo and Cy-endo are found in several (time-averaged) structures obtained from X-ray crystallography or NMR. When changing the pucker phase... 

Experiments were carried out hydrogenating two double-bonds of an unsaturated ketone, an intermediate in the production of vitamins, with a commercial catalyst. The temperature range was between 150 - 220 °C, the pressure between 120 - 175 bar, the feed flow rate of the unsaturated ketone at 30 g/min, the feed flow rate of C02 of 15 -100 g/min, the feed flow rate of hydrogen 2.2 - 6. 6. lN/min and a catalyst mass of 10 - 30 g. Results incorporating more sophisticated models with emphasis on the calculation of the phase equilibrium have been employed and are reported separately in [4],... 

Fig. 4.28 Generalized phase diagram. Only a supercritical fluid exists above the critical temperature (T ) and critical pressure (p ), which has properties intermediate between liquid and gas. (Note water is unusual in having a negative slope for the solid-liquid phase equilibrium line.)...

Figure 1.4 Comparison of changes of state as represented on a state (PV) diagram for a pure, one-phase substance. During an (a) irreversible process, intermediate states are unknown and unknowable during a (b) quasi-static process, the system moves in small discrete steps between identifiable equilibrium states during a (c) reversible change, every intermediate state is a well-defined equilibrium state.

When equilibrium is established between ions in solution and the gas phase, we have gaseous electrodes the intermediates of this equilibrium are usually adatoms Pt, H2IH+..., or Pt, Cl2 Cl ... Palladium, hydrogen-sorbing alloys, and intermetallic compounds pertain to gaseous electrodes. However, at the same time, these systems are example of intercalation processes operating under equilibrium conditions, which brings them close to electrodes of the first kind. 

We got an important result at reversible distillation in the intermediate section of the column of extractive or autoextractive distillation the component, which is intermediate in the value of phase equilibrium coefficient between the component separated as top product and the component brought in as an entrainer, is exhausted.
