Packing complexes

The formation and stabilization of 0/W emulsions prepared with mixed emulsifier systems has been extensively investigated. However, the mechanisms proposed differ greatly. One of the primary hypotheses attributes the enhanced stability to the formation of a molecular "complex" or layer at the oil/water interface (8-11). The mixture of emulsifier types increases the packing density of the adsorbed interfacial film. Several investigators have shown that more closely packed complexes produce more stable emulsions (9,12-14). Friberg, et al. (15-17) have attributed the enhanced stability of mixed emulsifier emulsions to the formation of liquid crystals at the oil/water interface, which reduce the van der Waals attractive forces. 

To achieve the same interaction with each other as they do with water the surfaces of the enzyme and the substrate must be complementary to give a closely packed complex.

Time, Cost, and Equipment Analysis time can vary from several minutes for samples containing only a few constituents to more than an hour for more complex samples. Preliminary sample preparation may substantially increase the analysis time. Instrumentation for gas chromatography ranges in price from inexpensive (a few thousand dollars) to expensive (more than 50,000). The more expensive models are equipped for capillary columns and include a variety of injection options and more sophisticated detectors, such as a mass spectrometer. Packed columns typically cost 50- 200, and the cost of a capillary column is typically 200- 1000. 

Bentone-34 has commonly been used in packed columns (138—139). The retention indices of many benzene homologues on squalane have been determined (140). Gas chromatography of C —aromatic compounds using a Ucon B550X-coated capillary column is discussed in Reference 141. A variety of other separation media have also been used, including phthaUc acids (142), Hquid crystals (143), and Werner complexes (144). Gel permeation chromatography of alkylbenzenes and the separation of the Cg aromatics treated with zeofltes ate described in References 145—148. 

The reactors were thick-waked stainless steel towers packed with a catalyst containing copper and bismuth oxides on a skiceous carrier. This was activated by formaldehyde and acetylene to give the copper acetyUde complex that functioned as the tme catalyst. Acetylene and an aqueous solution of formaldehyde were passed together through one or more reactors at about 90—100°C and an acetylene partial pressure of about 500—600 kPa (5—6 atm) with recycling as required. Yields of butynediol were over 90%, in addition to 4—5% propargyl alcohol. 

When two phases are present the situation is quite complex, especially in beds of fine soHds where interfacial forces can be significant. In coarse beds, eg, packed towers, the effects are often correlated empirically in terms of pressure drops for the single phases taken individually. 

Other methods attempt to probe the stmcture of the foam indirectly, without directly imaging it. Eor example, since the Hquid portion of the foam typically contains electrolytes, it conducts electrical current, and much work has been done on relating the electrical conductivity of a foam to its Hquid content, both experimentally (15) and theoretically (16). The value of the conductivity depends in a very complex fashion on not only the Hquid content and its distribution between films and borders, but the geometrical stmcture of the bubble packing arrangement. Thus electrical measurements offer only a rather cmde probe of the gas Hquid ratio, a quantity that can be accurately estimated from the foam s mass density. 

Because of constitutional complexity, the exact chemistries of nickel-base superalloys must be controlled carehiUy in order to avoid the precipitation of deleterious topologically close-packed (TCP) phases and extraneous carbides after long-term high temperature exposure. Heat-treatment schedules and thermomechanical treatments in the case of wrought alloys also are important to provide optimum strength and performance. 

The probable crystal stmcture of this salt has been described (14) as a complex of two dianions and two cations forming a large polyatomic ring. By implication this type of molecular packing probably appHes to many other similar pigments.
