Internal impurity

Then he must also be separated from his internal impurities. In order to lead him back to his prime Nature or being, into the upper heavenly Light-Water, all connection through which he is bound to the Earth must be severed. 

In contrast to XRD methods that may introduce sample preparation artifacts (see Jiang et al. 1997 Li et al. 1998), TEM integrated with selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) and energy dispersive spectrometry (analytical electron microscopy, AEM) measurements, provides direct, in situ observations on rock microtextures, crystallite size distributions, lattice imperfections of crystallites and interstratification (see the extensive reviews by Peacor 1992 and Merriman and Peacor 1999). TEM observations on selected portions of thinned (ion-milled) whole rock samples contradict the fundamental particle theory of Nadeau et al. (1984a,b,c summarized recently by Nadeau 1998). The observations show that phyllosilicate domains with interstratified structures form coherent boundaries, and therefore, MacEwan-type crystallites do exist in quasi-undisturbed rocks (Peacor 1998). In addition, AEM studies may provide reliable mineral-chemical data on the phases devoid of any external or internal impurities.

It is generally accepted that singlet oxygen ( O2) can react with polymers which contain unsaturated bonds as elements of their structures e.g. polydienes, or in the form of abnormal structures (internal impurities), e.g. polyolefins and poly(vinyl chloride).

An internal standard of 1-butanol is used to determine the concentrations of one or more of the following impurities commonly found in whiskey acetaldehyde, methanol, ethyl acetate, 1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, acetic acid, 2-methyl-1-butanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol. A packed column using 5% Garbowax 20m on 80/120 Garbopak B and an EID detector were used. 

Atr—ftir can be readily performed on most commercial ftir spectrometers through the use of an attachment for atr spectroscopy. These devices provide ir-transparent internal reflection elements that are typically made of Ge, KRS-5, ZnSe, or ZnS. These internal reflection elements are made of materials that are of extremely high purity to avoid losses from absorption by impurities in these devices. Coupling of a thin film or surface sample to one of these reflection elements is accompHshed by pressing the sample against the element while acquiring the spectmm. 

A schematic diagram of a six-vessel UOP Cyclesorb process is shown in Figure 15. The UOP Cyclesorb process has four external streams feed and desorbent enter the process, and extract and raffinate leave the process. In addition, the process has four internal recycles dilute raffinate, impure raffinate, impure extract, and dilute extract. Feed and desorbent are fed to the top of each column, and the extract and raffinate are withdrawn from the bottom of each column in a predeterrnined sequence estabUshed by a switching device, the UOP rotary valve. The flow of the internal recycle streams is from the bottom of a column to the top of the same column in the case of dilute extract and impure raffinate and to the top of the next column in the case of dilute raffinate and impure extract. 

MetaUic ions are precipitated as their hydroxides from aqueous caustic solutions. The reactions of importance in chlor—alkali operations are removal of magnesium as Mg(OH)2 during primary purification and of other impurities for pollution control. Organic acids react with NaOH to form soluble salts. Saponification of esters to form the organic acid salt and an alcohol and internal coupling reactions involve NaOH, as exemplified by reaction with triglycerides to form soap and glycerol,...

Hot Corrosion. Hot corrosion is an accelerated form of oxidation that arises from the presence not only of an oxidizing gas, but also of a molten salt on the component surface. The molten salt interacts with the protective oxide so as to render the oxide nonprotective. Most commonly, hot corrosion is associated with the condensation of a thin molten film of sodium sulfate [7757-82-6], Na2S04, on superaHoys commonly used in components for gas turbines, particularly first-stage turbine blades and vanes. Other examples of hot corrosion have been identified in energy conversion systems, particularly coal gasifiers and direct coal combustors. In these cases the salt originates from alkali impurities in the coal which condense on the internal... 

Another method iavolves an electric-arc vaporizer which is >2000° C before burning (25,32). One of the features of the process is a rapid quench of the hot gas flow to yield very fine oxide particles (<0.15 nm). This product is quite reactive and imparts accelerated cure rates to mbber. Internally fired rotary kilns are used extensively ia Canada and Europe and, to a limited extent, ia the United States (24). The burning occurs ia the kiln and the heat is sufficient to melt and vaporize the ziac. Because of the lower temperatures, the particles are coarser than those produced ia the other processes. In a fourth process, ziac metal which is purified ia a vertical refining column is burned. In essence, the purification is a distillation and impure ziac can be used to make extremely pure oxide. Also, a wide range of particle sizes is possible (33).
