Particle size carbon dynamics

Particle size distributions of natural sediments and soils are undoubtedly continuous and do not drop to zero abundance in the region of typical centrifugation or filtration capabilities. Additionally, there is some evidence to indicate that dissolved and particulate organic carbon in natural waters are in dynamic equilibrium, causing new particles or newly dissolved molecules to be formed when others are removed. Experiments with soil columns have shown that natural soils can release large quantities of DOC into percolating fluids [109]. 

Several studies have considered the influence of filler type, size, concentration and geometry on shear yielding in highly loaded polymer melts. For example, the dynamic viscosity of polyethylene containing glass spheres, barium sulfate and calcium carbonate of various particle sizes was reported by Kambe and Takano [46]. Viscosity at very low frequencies was found to be sensitive to the network structure formed by the particles, and increased with filler concentration and decreasing particle size. However, the effects observed were dependent on the nature of the filler and its interaction with the polymer melt.

The dynamic and steady-state characteristics of a shallow fluidized bed combustor have been simulated by using a dynamic model in which the lateral solids and gas dispersion are taken into account. The model is based on the two phase theory of fluidization and takes into consideration the effects of the coal particle size distribution, resistance due to diffusion, and reaction. The results of the simulation indicate that concentration gradients exist in the bed on the other hand, the temperature in the bed is quite uniform at any instant in all the cases studied. The results of the simulation also indicate that there exist a critical bubble size and carbon feed rate above which "concentration runaway" occurs, and the bed can never reach the steady state. 

The electro-catalytic oxidation of hydrogen, and reduction of oxygen, at carbon supported platinum based catalysts remain essential surface processes on which the hydrogen PEM fuel cell relies. The particle size (surface structure) and promoting component (as adsorbate or alloy phases) influence the activity and tolerance of the catalyst. The surface chemical behavior of platinum for hydrogen, oxygen, and CO adsorption is considered, in particular with respect to the influence of metal adsorbate and alloy components on close packed and stepped (defect) platinum surfaces. Dynamical measurements (employing supersonic molecular beams) of the... 

HCK products quality are shown in Table 4. As example, CI-1 and CI-2 mean catalyst I severity 1, and Catalyst I severity 2, respectively. To compare the catalysts, the same severity was used. Hydrogen purity was 100% the catalytic system was diluted in the reactor with 50% inert material, and used a particle size of 0,1cm x 0,1 cm (cylinder). This special precaution was taken to ensure proper fluid dynamics according to De Bruijn results [9]. Catalysts were sulfided with light virgin gasoil at 300 °C during six hours. Sulfur and carbon contents in all the fresh catalysts were nearly the same (6 wt% and 0.1 wt%)...
