Mechanical aeration pressure

In situ Raman spectroscopy is being used to investigate corrosion products from zinc in a humid atmosphere and sodium chloride70 and from Type 304L stainless steel in aerated water at elevated temperatures and pressures.71 The changes in detected species over time helped identify possible corrosion mechanisms and the effect of different variables on corrosion rates and mechanisms. 

Pressure drop. Wet pressure drop on the tray is determined by the resistance of the aerated mass to vapor flow (Sec. 6.3.3). As the nature of the dispersion is different, one would expect a different mechanism to cause pressure drop in the spray regime. This has been confirmed by experiments (88,114). To date, not enough is known about the nature of this mechanism. 

Mechanical Cells. Figure 19-73 presents a schematic representation of a typical mechanical device commonly known as a flotation cell. It is characterized by a cubic or cylindrical shape, equipped with an impeller surrounded by baffles with provisions for introduction of the feed slurry and removal of froth overflow and tailings underflow. The machines receive the supply of air through a concentric pipe surrounding the impeller shaft, either by self-aeration due to the pressure drop created by the rotating impeller or by air injection by means of an external blower. In a typical installation, a number of flotation cells are connected in series such that each cell outputs froth into a launder and the underflow from one cell goes to the next one. The cell design may be such that the flow of slurry from one cell to another can either be restricted by weirs or unrestricted.

FIGURE 4.11 Differential aeration cell and ion concentration ceU mechanisms as operative on a biofihn-metal system. Relative size difference of the arrows represents the corresponding oxygen partial pressures. When via cathodic reactions, atomic metal (M) is oxidized, it will liberate enongh positively charged ions (cations, M ) to shift the charge balance to yield an ion concentration difference. In either case, pitting under the biofilm is inevitable.
