Carbon dioxide systems-Tliis system can be used where there is a handling and storage of gaseous and flammable materials, electrical equipment, and hazardous solids by introducing an inert gas (such as carbon dioxide) into the area in order to reduce the concentration of oxygen to the point where the fire will be extinguished. 

To remove oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other noncondensable gases from the condensate to maintain the necessary vacuum and to minimize the potential corrosion problems that these gases can cause in the condensate return system. 

Biodegradable films made from edible biopolymers from renewable sources could become an important factor in reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste. Proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides are the main biopolymers employed to make edible films and coatings. Which of these components are present in different proportions and determine the properties of the material, as a barrier to water vapor, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and lipid transfer in food systems (Gomez-Guillen et al. 2002 and 2009). 

The circulatory system is, of course, basic to the transport of food, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and the end products of metabolism and, hence, is of fundamental biochemical interest. 

Soils vary greatly in composition and reactivity. Many complex and dynamic processes occur continuously in most soils composed primarily of mineral and organic matter, water, and air. The soil atmosphere is composed of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and several minor gases whereas the mineral fraction varies in amounts of sand, silt, and clay and in types and amounts of clay minerals. Moreover, hydration and base saturation of the clay minerals also vary considerably. The organic matter and mineral colloids present in the soil contribute directly and indirectly to the extremely active nature of pesticide-soil systems. Since soil water contains many soluble compounds, it serves as an essential medium for many chemical and physical processes. The extreme complexity of these soil systems has been the primary reason that so few fundamental studies have been undertaken involving the ultimate fate of pesticides in soils. 

In Chapter 2 a phase vas defined as a homogepeous part of a system, separated from other parts by physical boundaries. A solution is a phase which consists of two or more molecular species which are not readily interconvertible. These are called its components. Air is a gaseous solution of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and the noble gases. Carbonated water is a liquid solution of water and carbon dioxide. (It contains other molecular species also—-HXO3,, HCO.j —but since these are readily convertible into water... 

Three systems were selected for examination, namely the solubilities of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and methane in water -1- sodium chloride. An accurate semiempirical equation [64] was used to express the composition dependence of the osmotic coefficient in water-r sodium chloride. The results of the calculations are presented in Fig. 1 and Table 1. One can see that Eq. (26) provides an accurate correlation for the gas solubility in solutions of strong electrolytes. In addition, the fluctuation theory allows one to use the experimental solubility data to examine the hydration in water (l)-gas (2)-cosolvent (3) mixtures. 

Recent work on the carbon dioxide system shows another unusual high-pressure behaviour. Raman spectra of carbon dioxide show that CO2 molecules remain the basis of the phases to more than 40 GPa at temperatures below a few hundred Kelvin [52]. These results, however, do not mean that the molecular crystals are the stable phases indeed, recent studies of the combustion of carbon at high pressures by Yoo et al [53] reach another conclusion. They initiated combustion of a mixture of carbon and oxygen at pressures between 7 and 13 GPa by heating the carbon with a Nd YAG laser, quenching the products to ambient temperature under pressure and recording their Raman spectra. As well as features of unreacted O2 and CO2 in some samples,...
