The beam-breaker technique is useful for detecting large and abrasive materials such as coal, minerals, wood chips, and vegetable pulp. It is also useful for detecting very light materials such as dry sawdust and powdered materials in fluidized beds. This technique can also be considered for use on difficult-to-handle liquids that are viscous, toxic, or hazardous because the detector is isolated from the vessel contents.

The physical macroscopic notion of porosity or pores in a solid and the phenomenon of absorption of a fluid in a porous object are both quite familiar to all of us. Further, wide varieties of natural or synthetic solids, compounds, species, and materials are known to be of porous nature, for example, minerals, wood, cellulose fibers, seashells.

Due to variations in the soil, such as humic constituents, sand fractions, clay minerals, peat minerals, wood rests, algal toxins, and deposits of shell lime, different reactions take place. The natural organic matter (NOM) in an aquifer is a complex mixture of substances, such as humic acids, fulvic acids, amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, lignin, and waxes. 

Fresh tea sprouts contain approximately 70% water. The other components present include catechims, chatechim tanning substance, proteins, minerals, wood fibre, lignin, pectin and between 2.0 and 3.5% caffeine [7]. 

Most of the construction materials are derived from four major sources forest products, metal fabrication, chemical products, and industrial minerals. Wood, as a forest product, has many apphcations, e.g., as a fuel, construction materials, in weapons, and transportation. As the science of engineering developed, wood was replaced by othermaterials. However, there has been a tremendous increase in the number and variety of products made either directly or indirectly from wood.There is a diversity of products used in construction, which are derived from industrial minerals such as Portland cement, calciiun carbonate, and fillers. Similarly, stone in one form or another has been an important construction material from early time. For example, internationally, the great ages of stone construction have reflected the wealth of societies. Modem constmction uses cut natural stone for the stmctural fabric and decoration of many buildings. 

Vapors emitted from the materials of closed storage and exhibit cases have been a frequent source of pollution problems. Oak wood, which in the past was often used for the constmction of such cases, emits a significant amount of organic acid vapors, including formic and acetic acids, which have caused corrosion of metal objects, as well as shell and mineral specimens in natural history collections. Plywood and particle board, especially those with a urea—formaldehyde adhesive, similarly often emit appreciable amounts of corrosive vapors. Sealing of these materials has proven to be not sufficiently rehable to prevent the problem, and generally thek use for these purposes is not considered acceptable practice. 

Custom decorative sound-absorbing treatments for wall surfaces are frequentiy used in auditoriums and theaters, especially for control of echoes from rear walls. Typical treatments consist of prefabricated or custom-built wood grilles over fiber glass or mineral wool blankets or batts.

Composites. The history of phenoHc resin composites goes back to the early development of phenoHc materials, when wood flour, minerals, and colorants were combined with phenoHc resins to produce mol ding compounds. In later appHcations, resin varnishes were developed for kraft paper and textile fabrics to make decorative and industrial laminates. Although phenoHcs have been well characterized in glass-reinforced composites, new developments continue in this area, such as new systems for Hquid-injection molding (LIM) and sheet-molding compounds (SMC). More compHcated composite systems are based on aramid and graphite fibers. 

Other Shingle Products. Making up about 20% of the steep market are wood shingles and shakes, concrete and clay tiles, natural and mineral fiber slates, and various styles of metal products (34). 

Grain that is usable as food or feed is an expensive substrate for this fermentation process. A cheaper substrate might be some source of cellulose such as wood or agricultural waste. This, however, requires hydrolysis of cellulose to yield glucose. Such a process was used in Germany during World War II to produce yeast as a protein substitute. Another process for the hydrolysis of wood, developed by the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, uses mineral acid as a catalyst. This hydrolysis industry is very large in the former Soviet Union but it is not commercial elsewhere. 

Plastic laminated sheets produced in 1913 led to the formation of the Formica Products Company and the commercial introduction, in 1931, of decorative laminates consisting of a urea—formaldehyde surface on an unrefined (kraft) paper core impregnated with phenoHc resin and compressed and heated between poHshed steel platens (8,10). The decorative surface laminates are usually about 1.6 mm thick and bonded to wood (a natural composite), plywood (another laminate), or particle board (a particulate composite). Since 1937, the surface layer of most decorative laminates has been fabricated with melamine—formaldehyde, which can be prepared with mineral fiUers, thus offering improved heat and moisture resistance and allowing a wide range of decorative effects (10,11). 

While the rotary dryer shown is commonly used for grains and minerals, this system has been successfully applied to fluid-bed diying of plastic pellets, air-hft diying of wood fibers, and spray drying of milk solids. The air may be steam-heated as shown or heated By direct combustion of fuel, provided that a representative measurement of inlet air temperature can be made. If it cannot, then evaporative load can be inferred from a measurement of fuel flow, replacing AT in the set point calculation.
