Performance recovery

In general, the following steps are used to ensure optimum regeneration and catalyst performance recovery alow temperature first pass to remove low boiling point hydrocarbons and other volatile matter, an initial combustion step to remove a portion of the sulfur and carbon, and a final combustion step to remove the remaining carbon to the target level. 

The immediate effect of these improvements in product yield is a dramatic decrease in the cost of manufacturing. However, it also means that in order to match this performance, recovery and purification operations... 

For a better understanding of method performance, recovery should be divided in the following types and calculated independently ... 

Recycling (or reuse) refers to the use (or reuse) of materials that would otherwise be disposed of or treated as a waste product. A good example is a rechargeable battery. Wastes that cannot be directly reused may often be recovered on-site through methods such as distillation. When on-site recovery or reuse is not feasible due to quality specifications or the inability to perform recovery on-site, off-site recovery at a permitted commercial recovery facility is often a possibility. Such management techniques are considered secondary to source reduction and should only be used when pollution cannot be prevented. 

Techniques of tritium removal from co-deposited layers in next-generation tokamaks, such as ITER, have an important impact on machine operation. Attempts are being made to develop in-situ co-deposit removal techniques that would not overly constrain machine operation, both in terms of T removal and plasma performance recovery after cleanup. In addition to machine operation considerations, the tritium in the co-deposited layers will also have safety implications. During a severe accident, the vacuum vessel of an operating tokamak can be breached. If a significant inventory of tritium in the form of a saturated layer is present, much of this tritium can be released as tritium oxide as the film reacts with oxygen. 

The accuracy of the method can be determined by performing recovery experiments or by comparison to another analytical method (such as titration, DSC, and PSA). Spiking experiments, where increasing amounts of an impurity are introduced into the sample and the accuracy of the result versus... 

Table 3 shows an example of the comparative performances of these three processes. All of them can produce a 99+% N2 enriched product gas. The two zeolite processes also produce a 85-90% O2 enriched product gas. The O2 product purity of the carbon sieve process is, however, low. This shows that different adsorbents can be married with different process schemes to obtain similar product purities but different process performances (recovery, productivity, product pressure, etc.). 

Nevertheless, under a given set of experimental conditions, most of these parameters remain constant and a calibration can be performed. Recovery is initially determined in vitro with standard solutions or in a more complex medium that approaches the one to be sampled. However, it is rare that these calibrations completely match the results obtained during real experiments. This is especially true when the experiments are performed in vivo. 

The accuracy of a method can be determined by performing recovery experiments, implementing standard addition calibration procedures, testing reference materials, etc. It is also possible to compare the test results of a new... 

Due to possible differences in behaviour of the different congeners in the various steps of the clean-up procedures, the participants were requested to perform recovery experiments that included each of the individual congeners to be certified. Recovery experiments were performed by standard additions. If the recovery for the different isomers within the same isomeric group was found to be constant (within the determination uncertainty) only one recovery check was requested. In cases where the recovery varied more than the measurement uncertainty (ca. 10%), three replicate recovery estimations were requested. In case the difference between isomers was larger than the uncertainty of the measurements, the laboratory had to give evidence for the validity of the recovery estimate. Where this evidence for the validity of the clean-up was not available, the data were rejected.

The following batch analysis was implemented in the QAP to assess experimental and/or instmmental performance, recovery, precision, and accuracy. 

The outcomes of rotational stability, KT measurements, Lysholm scale, and sports performance recovery seemed inferior to those of the primary cases. In the patient cases after July 2002, sports activities seem lower than in those of our previous publication in 2010 [7].

All values of the parameters can be known at design time some of them, such expected customer load, probabilities of attack and success, should be estimated by the software engineer, while other parameters, such as time performing recovery actions should be given by manufacturer of PRR device. Table 3 summarises input analysis parameters and by whom they should be provided.

However, complete performance recovery would not occur because the absorbed sulfur species could not be completely desorbed by either pure air operation or CV scaiming. The remaining species could still occupy the active sites of the Pt electrocatalyst.
