Moving-drop method

The moving-drop method [2] employs a column of one liquid phase through which drops of a second liquid either rise or fall. The drops are produced at a nozzle situated at one end of the column and collected at the other end. The contact time and size of the drop are measurable. Three regimes of mass transport need to be considered drop formation, free rise (or fall) and drop coalescence. The solution in the liquid column phase or drop phase (after contact) may be analyzed to determine the total mass transferred, which may be related to the interfacial reaction only after mass transfer rates have been determined. 

The hydrodynamics of the moving drop are difficult to calculate, particularly the flow characteristics within the droplet itself. However, this technique is still used widely, because it is a simple and straightforward method. It was recently applied to study the stripping-extraction kinetics of Mn(II) in an aqueous-kerosene system [50,51]. The effect of anionic surfactants on the kinetics of extraction of lactic acid from an aqueous phase by Alamine 336 in a toluene phase was also studied by this technique [52]. 

Series or Files To copy or move series of files select the files to be copied or moved in the same way as above one after the other, while pressing and holding down at the same time the CTRL key. Release this key and use the drag and drop method as described above to copy or move the whole series of selected files to the destination directory. Select the two files HDIS.001 und CDIS.001 in the directory D NMRDATA TEST2 and copy them into the directory D. NMRDATA TEST3 as described above. Check the new entries in the TESTS subdirectory. 

With this dual display still on the screen select in the file manager window the ID carbon spectrum D NMRDATA GLUCOSE 1D C GC 001999.1R and use the drag and drop method to move it directly and most conveniently into the 1D WIN-NMR application window. 

Using the point method (unlike Feldberg 1980), we define the usual set of concentrations Cq, C, . .., with Cq at the (moving) drop surface (R = Rq). The point spacing SR = H is conveniently kept the same at all T, so we have a point grid tied at one end to the moving dme surface. Eq. 8.4 or 8.8 is then discretised with no special problems (in contrast with the box method, where shell-elements, shrinking with time, are used). 

The spinning drop method [348-350] is used to determine inteifacial tensions between two liquids. A capillary tube is mounted in a chamber leaving the ends open (Fig. 9.24). The chamber and the tube are filled with the heavier of the two liquids and the capillary is rotated at a high speed (about 2000 rpm). A drop of the other liquid having a lower density is placed into the capillary. The drop moves into the center of the capillary tube and usually assumes the shape of a cylinder with curved edges. The radius of the drop is measured using a camera or a microscope ...
