Practical processes for activating carbon include high temperature thermal processes, where the carbon is reacted with steam and carbon dioxide, and chemical processes where activation takes place in the presence of metallic chlorides. These processes were developed at the turn of the century and today variations of this basic technology are still used to manufacture nearly all activated carbons. In this paper conditions are presented for maximizing the thermal efficiency of the high temperature processes. 

In this paper, conditions for successful polycocyclotrimerization of isocyanates and properties of resulting polycocyclotrimers will be discussed.

The results of over 1 year of continuous, on-line acoustic emission (AE) structural surveillance of high temperature / high pressure steam headers, gained on 2 M-scale 600MW supercritical multifuel ENEL power units in normal operation, are presented in the paper. The influence of background noise, the correlation between plant operating conditions (steady load, load variations, startup / shutdown transients) and AE activity and the diagnostic evaluation of recorded AE events are also discussed. 

For homogeneous NDT data and repeatable inspection conditions successful automated interpretation systems can relatively easily be developed. They usually use standard techniques from statistical classification or artificial intelligence. Design of successful automated interpretation systems for heterogeneous data coming form non-repeatable, small volume inspections with little a-priori information about the pieces or constructions to be inspected is far more difficult. This paper presents an approach which can be used to develop such systems. 

This paper compares experimental data for aluminium and steel specimens with two methods of solving the forward problem in the thin-skin regime. The first approach is a 3D Finite Element / Boundary Integral Element method (TRIFOU) developed by EDF/RD Division (France). The second approach is specialised for the treatment of surface cracks in the thin-skin regime developed by the University of Surrey (England). In the thin-skin regime, the electromagnetic skin-depth is small compared with the depth of the crack. Such conditions are common in tests on steels and sometimes on aluminium. 

They then compared measured and predicted fluxes for diffusion experiments in the mixture He-N. The tests covered a range of pressures and a variety of compositions at the pellet faces but, like the model itself, they were confined to binary mixtures and isobaric conditions. Feng and Stewart [49] compared their models with isobaric flux measurements in binary mixtures and with some non-isobaric measurements in mixtures of helium and nitrogen, using data from a variety of sources. Unfortunately the information on experimental conditions provided in their paper is very sparse, so it is difficult to assess how broadly based are the conclusions they reached about the relative merits oi their different models. 

The experimental conditions necessary for the preparation of a solution of a diazonium salt, diazotisation of a primary amine, are as follows. The amine is dissolved in a suitable volume of water containing 2 5-3 equivalents of hydrochloric acid (or of sulphuric acid) by the application of heat if necessary, and the solution is cooled in ice when the amine hydrochloride (or sulphate) usually crystallises. The temperature is maintained at 0-5°, an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite is added portion-wise until, after allowing 3-4 minutes for reaction, the solution gives an immediate positive test for excess of nitrous acid with an external indicator—moist potassium iodide - starch paper f ...

The crack shape is defined by the function -ip. This function is assumed to be fixed. It is noteworthy that the problems of choice of the so-called extreme crack shapes were considered in (Khludnev, 1994 Khludnev, Sokolowski, 1997). We also address this problem in Sections 2.4 and 4.9. The solution regularity for biharmonic variational inequalities was analysed in (Frehse, 1973 Caffarelli et ah, 1979 Schild, 1984). The last paper also contains the results on the solution smoothness in the case of thin obstacles. As for general solution properties for the equilibrium problem of the plates having cracks, one may refer to (Morozov, 1984). Referring to this book, the boundary conditions imposed on crack faces have the equality type. In this case there is no interaction between the crack faces. 

In this section we derive a nonpenetration condition between crack faces for inclined cracks in plates and discuss the equilibrium problem. As it turns out, the nonpenetration condition for inclined cracks is of nonlocal character. This means that by writing the condition at a fixed point we have to take into account the displacement values both at the point and at the other point chosen at the opposite crack face. As a corollary of this fact, the equilibrium equations hold only in a domain located outside the crack surface projection on the mid-surface of the plate. This section follows the papers (Khludnev, 1997b Kovtunenko et ah, 1998). 

We prove an existence theorem for elastoplastic plates having cracks. The presence of the cracks entails the domain to have a nonsmooth boundary. The proof of the theorem combines an elliptic regularization and the penalty method. We show that the solution satisfies all boundary conditions imposed at the external boundary and at the crack faces. The results of this section follow the paper (Khludnev, 1998). 

Reaction with Chlorine. Polyacrylamide reacts with chlorine under acid conditions to form reasonably stable A/-chloroamides. The polymers are water soluble and can provide good wet strength and wet web strength in paper (60). 

Originally designed for the continuous filtration of conditioned sewage sludges, as were most of the filter belt presses available, the Manor Tower press is increa singly used for the treatment of paper mill sludge, coal, or flocculated clay slurries. 

A second degradation process is oxidation, often photo-induced especially by exposure to light not filtered for uv. The radicals resulting from this reaction promote depolymerization of the cellulose, as well as yellowing and fa ding of paper and media. Aging causes paper to become more crystalline and fragile, and this can be exacerbated particularly if the paper is subjected to poor conditions. 

Vacuum filters are usually simulated with a Buchner funnel test or filter leaf test (54). The measured parameters are cake weight, cake moisture, and filtration rate. Retention aids are usually evaluated using the Britt jar test, also called the Dynamic Drainage Jar, which simulates the shear conditions found on the paper machine and predicts performance (55). 

Two main operational variables that differentiate the flotation of finely dispersed coUoids and precipitates in water treatment from the flotation of minerals is the need for quiescent pulp conditions (low turbulence) and the need for very fine bubble sizes in the former. This is accompHshed by the use of electroflotation and dissolved air flotation instead of mechanically generated bubbles which is common in mineral flotation practice. Electroflotation is a technique where fine gas bubbles (hydrogen and oxygen) are generated in the pulp by the appHcation of electricity to electrodes. These very fine bubbles are more suited to the flotation of very fine particles encountered in water treatment. Its industrial usage is not widespread. Dissolved air flotation is similar to vacuum flotation. Air-saturated slurries are subjected to vacuum for the generation of bubbles. The process finds limited appHcation in water treatment and in paper pulp effluent purification. The need to mn it batchwise renders it less versatile. 

Other preparations of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid kiclude oxidation of methyltrifluoromethyl sulfide under a variety of conditions (10,11). Perfluorosulfonyl fluorides have also been prepared by reaction of fluoroolefkis with sulfuryl fluoride (12,13). Chinese chemists have pubflshed numerous papers on the conversion of telomer-based alkyl iodides to sulfonyl fluorides (14,15) (eqs. 8 and 9) ...

Shipping and Storage. MaHc acid is shipped in 50-lb, 100-lb, and 25-kg, multiwall paper bags or 100-lb (45.5 kg) fiber dmms. A technical-grade, 50% solution may be shipped in tank cars or tank tmcks. MaHc acid can be stored in dry form without difficulty, although conditions of high humidity and elevated temperatures should be avoided to prevent caking. 

Prussian Blue. Reaction of [Fe(CN)3] with an excess of aqueous h on(Ill) produces the finely divided, intensely blue precipitate Pmssian Blue [1403843-8] (tetrairon(Ill) tris(hexakiscyanoferrate)), Fe4[Fe(CN)3]. Pmssian Blue is identical to Turnbull s Blue, the name which originally was given to the material produced by reaction of [Fe(CN)3] with excess aqueous h on(Il). The soHd contains or has absorbed on its surface a large and variable number of water molecules, potassium ions (if present in the reaction), and h on(Ill) oxide. The h on(Il) centers are low spin and diamagnetic h on(Ill) centers are high spin. Variations of composition and properties result from variations in reaction conditions. Rapid precipitation in the presence of potassium ion affords a colloidal suspension of Pmssian Blue [25869-98-1] which has the approximate composition KFe[Fe(CN)3]. Pmssian Blue compounds are used as pigments in inks and paints and its formation on sensitized paper is utilized in the production of blueprints. 

Paper-Base Grades. Grade X is primarily intended for mechanical apphcations where electrical properties are of secondary importance. It should be used with discretion when high humidity conditions are encountered and it is not equal to fabric-base grades in impact strength.
