Porosity oxygen

Alternatively, H2O2 can be incorporated in the original mixture which is then dried and heated at a suitable rate to achieve release of oxygen. Porosities in the range 25-60% have been obtained by these techniques. If on the other hand dense products are required, the calcium phosphates are preheated and ground to 250 mm. This powder, without organic additives, is compressed and heated in an inert atmosphere at 100-1300°C. 

DRI can be produced in pellet, lump, or briquette form. When produced in pellets or lumps, DRI retains the shape and form of the iron oxide material fed to the DR process. The removal of oxygen from the iron oxide during direct reduction leaves voids, giving the DRI a spongy appearance when viewed through a microscope. Thus, DRI in these forms tends to have lower apparent density, greater porosity, and more specific surface area than iron ore. In the hot briquetted form it is known as hot briquetted iron (HBI). Typical physical properties of DRI forms are shown in Table 1. 

Cell Assembly. The methods for cell assembly, starting with the processed plaques depend on whether the cells are to be vented or sealed. For vented cells, processed plaques are usually compressed to 85 —90% of their processed thickness allowing sufficient porosity for electrolyte retention and strengthening the plate stmcture. For sealed cells, sizing of the negative plaques is usually avoided because maximum surface area is important to oxygen recombination.

The corrosion product is predominantly carbon dioxide, but considerable amounts of free oxygen are produced at the anode surface, particularly in fresh-water applications, and can attack both the carbon and any organic binders used to reduce its porosity. For this reason carbon anodes for underground service are used in conjunction with a carbonaceous backfill. 

Adlington and Thompson (Al) measured the gas-liquid interfacial area in beds of particles of from 0.3- to 3-mm diameter by oxygen absorption in a sodium sulfite solution. They found that the interfacial area decreased with decreasing bed porosity, and was less sensitive to changes in particle size. 

Checking the absence of internal mass transfer limitations is a more difficult task. A procedure that can be applied in the case of catalyst electrode films is the measurement of the open circuit potential of the catalyst relative to a reference electrode under fixed gas phase atmosphere (e.g. oxygen in helium) and for different thickness of the catalyst film. Changing of the catalyst potential above a certain thickness of the catalyst film implies the onset of the appearance of internal mass transfer limitations. Such checking procedures applied in previous electrochemical promotion studies allow one to safely assume that porous catalyst films (porosity above 20-30%) with thickness not exceeding 10pm are not expected to exhibit internal mass transfer limitations. The absence of internal mass transfer limitations can also be checked by application of the Weisz-Prater criterion (see, for example ref. 33), provided that one has reliable values for the diffusion coefficient within the catalyst film. 

Porosity It should be porous as this facilitates oxygen contact with the carbon of coke. A factor most important for accomplishing complete combustion at a high rate. 

The air gas-diffusion electrode developed in this laboratory [5] is a double-layer tablet (thickness ca.1.5 mm), which separates the electrolyte in the cell from the surrounding air. The electrode comprises two layers a porous, from highly hydrophobic, electrically conductive gas layer (from the side of the air) and a catalytic layer (from the side of the electrolyte). The gas layer consists of a carbon-based hydrophobic material produced from acetylene black and PTFE by a special technology [6], The high porosity of the gas layer ensures effective oxygen supply into the reaction zone of the electrode simultaneously the leakage of the electrolyte through the electrode...
