Liquid optimum conductivity

The direct treatment of the scrubbing liquid from a flue gas desulfurization step could be carried out by using the sulfur-reducing bacterium denoted as KT7 [290], This low-GC Gram-positive bacterium is related to the genus Desulfotomaculum, which is capable of reducing sulfite and sulfate to sulfide. Its optimum growth is observed at a temperature between 48°C and 70°C, at a pH of between 5 and 9 and at a conductivity of the liquid medium between 0 and 40 mS/cm. The treatment was claimed to be favored under anaerobic conditions. 

Regarding the conditions for the biological oxidation, the optimum pH is in the range of 7-9, temperature of about 30°C, nutrients supply and the electric conductivity of the washing liquid must be kept between 30 and lOOmS/cm. In general, neutrophilic sulfide-oxidizing cultures of Thiobacillus species can be used, especially T. denitrificans. 

Taylod205 also conducted mathematical analysis of the generation of ripples by wind blowing over a viscous fluid. Using a relationship between the growth of the amplitude of disturbance waves and the surface stress, Taylor derived a criterion for the instability of waves. In Taylor s instability theory, the disintegration of a liquid sheet/film is visualized as a process in which droplets are detached from the liquid surface with a wave of optimum amplitude. The diameter of the most frequent droplets is then formulated as a function of air velocity over the liquid surface, liquid density, surface tension and viscosity, as well as air density. 

Feuer and co-workers ° conducted extensive studies into alkaline nitration with nitrate esters, exploring the effect of base, time, stoichiometry, concentration, solvent, and temperature on yields and purity. Reactions are generally successful when the substrate a-proton acidity is in the 18-25 p A a range. Alkoxide bases derived from simple primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols are generally not considered compatible in reactions using alkyl nitrates. Optimum conditions for many of these reactions use potassium tert-butoxide and amyl nitrate in THF at —30 °C, although in many cases potassium amide in liquid ammonia at —33 °C works equally well. 

Interpretation of the optimum metal content for these reactions. As already mentioned an optimum Pt content was found for dehydrogenation of liquid alcohols and cyclopentane-deuterium exchange in gas phase. Also, with Pt/Ti02 samples which had not been preoxidized and which were accordingly non-stoichiometric according to conductivity measurements, the same optimum content was found for the initial rate of OIE, whereas this rate decreased as a function of Pt content for preoxidized samples (44). 

Abbott et al. studied the deposition of zinc from a 1 2 choline chloride (ChCl) ZnCl2 ionic liquid [109] at 60°C and found deposits with a similar morphology to that shown by Sun. The optimum current density was found to be between 2 and 5 Am 2 and higher current densities led to powdery, non-adherent deposits. This is due primarily to the high viscosity and low conductivity of the choline-based liquids. The current plating efficiency in this liquid was found to be effectively 100% and the deposition process was shown to be almost totally reversible, with only the UPD material remaining on the surface. 

For example, acetylation reactions of alcohols and carbohydrates have been performed in [Bmim]-derived ionic liquids.If the dicyanamide anion [N(CN)2] is incorporated into the liquid, mild acetylations of carbohydrates can be performed at room temperature, in good yields, without any added catalyst.In this example, it was shown that the RTIL was not only an effective solvent but also an active base catalyst. In a recent study, Welton and co-workers performed calculations on the gas phase basicity of the conjugate acids of possible anions from which to construct their liquid.Using these data, they were able to choose the optimum RTIL in which to conduct a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of an activated aniline with an activated arylhalide. Given the enormous number of possible anions and cations from which to build up an ionic liquid, the role of computation in experimental design such as this will become increasingly important.
