Passive Mixing. Passive or static mixing technologies are typically simple in that they involve no moving parts. Probably, the most common types of micromixing devices are lamination micromixers, of which...

While concentrated nitric acid passivates steel, the phenomenon is too unreliable to permit cast irons to be used with confidence, even for strong nitric acids. The evidence available in relation to mixed nitrating acids. 

Stern, eta obtained potentiostatic polarisation curves for titanium alloys in various solutions of sulphuric acid and showed that the mixed potentials of titanium-noble metal alloys are more positive than the critical potential for the passivity of titanium. This explains the basis for the beneficial effects of small amounts of noble metals on the corrosion resistance of titanium in reducing-type acids. Hoar s review of the work on the effect of noble metals on including anodic protection should also be consulted... 

Corrosion or mixed potentials (a) Active corrosion in acid solutions (b) Passive metal in acid solutions Potential dependent on the redox potential of the solution and the kinetics of the anodic and cathodic reactions. Potential dependent on the kinetics of the h.e.r. on the bare metal surface. Potential is that of an oxide-hlmed metal, and is dependent on the redox potential of the solution.

Fig. 5. Tentative mixed potential model for the sodium-potassium pump in biological membranes the vertical lines symbolyze the surface of the ATP-ase and at the same time the ordinate of the virtual current-voltage curves on either side resulting in different Evans-diagrams. The scale of the absolute potential difference between the ATP-ase and the solution phase is indicated in the upper left comer of the figure. On each side of the enzyme a mixed potential (= circle) between Na+, K+ and also other ions (i.e. Ca2+ ) is established, resulting in a transmembrane potential of around — 60 mV. This number is not essential it is also possible that this value is established by a passive diffusion of mainly K+-ions out of the cell at a different location. This would mean that the electric field across the cell-membranes is not uniformly distributed.

It is possible that the stationary-state situations leading to an active ion transport occur only in localized regions of the membrane, i.e., at ATPase molecule units with diameters of about 50 A and a length of 80 A. The vectorial ion currents at locations with a mixed potential and special equipotential lines would appear phenomenologically like ionic channels. If the membrane area where the passive diffusion occurs is large, it may determine the rest potential of the whole cell. 

Kinetic stability of lithium and the lithiated carbons results from film formation which yields protective layers on lithium or on the surfaces of carbonaceous materials, able to conduct lithium ions and to prevent the electrolyte from continuously being reduced film formation at the Li/PC interphase by the reductive decomposition of PC or EC/DMC yielding alkyl-carbonates passivates lithium, in contrast to the situation with DEC where lithium is dissolved to form lithium ethylcarbonate [149]. EMC is superior to DMC as a single solvent, due to better surface film properties at the carbon electrode [151]. However, the quality of films can be increased further by using the mixed solvent EMC/EC, in contrast to the recently proposed solvent methyl propyl carbonate (MPC) which may be used as a single sol-... 

Tannin chemistry is complex and tannin blends (composed of singletree species tannins mixed together) offer a number of useful water treatment functions. Apart from oxygen-scavenging abilities, they act as passivating agents, film-formers, sequestrants, and polymeric sludge dispersants (for more details, see Section 10.3). 

The final conclusion of this short discussion is that electropolymerization is a fast method (a film of about 5 //mean be obtained by polarization in 1 rnin) that uses a complex mechanism (Fig. 12) in which electropolymerization, cross linking, degradation, and chemical polymerization can coexist to produce a mixed material with a cross-linked and electroactive part and a passive fraction.67-71 However, ifwe control the variables acting on the kinetics of the different simultaneous reactions, the complexity also provides flexibility, allowing us to obtain materials tailored for specific applications. 

The Kolmogorov velocity field mixes packets of air with different passive scalars a passive scalar being one which does not exchange energy with the turbulent velocity flow. (Potential) temperature is such a passive scalar and the temperature fluctuations also follow the Kolmogorov law with a different proportionality constant... 

Problems due to passivation that lead to an increase of the cell voltage or due to competition by non-Kolbe electrolysis [179] are often less pronounced in mixed coupling.
