The ROSA output continues in Figure 10.3. This figure shows the actual and projected water quality throughout the RO system. The "Feed" column represents the raw feed water to the system. "Adjusted Feed" is the projected water quality after pH-adjust or after softening. In this case, "Stage 2 Concentrate" is the project quality of the overall concentrate from the RO. If 3 stages were used, then the "Stage 3 Concentrate" would be the project quality of the overall concentrate from the RO. "Permeate Total" is the projected overall permeate concentration from the system.

Next let us consider the differences in molecular architecture between polymers which exclusively display viscous flow and those which display a purely elastic response. To attribute the entire effect to molecular structure we assume the polymers are compared at the same temperature. Crosslinking between different chains is the structural feature responsible for elastic response in polymer samples. If the crosslinking is totally effective, we can regard the entire sample as one giant molecule, since the entire volume is permeated by a continuous network of chains. This result was anticipated in the discussion of the Bueche theory for chain entanglements in the last chapter, when we observed that viscosity would be infinite with entanglements if there were no slippage between chains. 

Following ultrafiltration of whey, the permeate passes over a reverse osmosis (qv) membrane to separate the lactose from other components of the permeate. Reverse osmosis can be used to remove water and concentrate soHds in a dairy plant, giving a product with 18% soHds and thus decreasing the difficulty of waste disposal. Concentration of rinse water gives a product with 4—5% total soHds. Proper maintenance of the membrane allows for use up to two years. Membranes are available for use up to 100°C with pH ranges from 1 to 14 the usual temperature range is 0—50°C. 

In contrast to other polymers the resistance to water permeation is low due to the hydrolysis of the poly(vinyl acetate) (163,164). Ethylene copolymers have been developed which have improved water resistance and waterproofness. The polymer can be used in the latex form or in a spray-dried form which can be preblended in with the cement (qv) in the proper proportion. The compressive and tensile strength of concrete is improved by addition of PVAc emulsions to the water before mixing. A polymer-soHds-to-total-soHds ratio of ca 10 90 is best. The emulsions also aid adhesion between new and old concrete when patching or resurfacing. 

Whey concentration, both of whole whey and ultrafiltration permeate, is practiced successfully, but the solubility of lactose hmits the practical concentration of whey to about 20 percent total sohds, about a 4x concentration fac tor. (Membranes do not tolerate sohds forming on their surface.) Nanofiltration is used to soften water and clean up streams where complete removal of monovalent ions is either unnecessary or undesirable. Because of the ionic character of most NF membranes, they reject polyvalent ions much more readily than monovalent ions. NF is used to treat salt whey, the whey expressed after NaCl is added to curd. Nanofiltration permits the NaCl to permeate while retaining the other whey components, which may then be blended with ordinaiy whey. NF is also used to deacidify whey produced by the addition of HCl to milk in the production of casein. 

Membrane System Design Features For the rate process of permeation to occur, there must be a driving force. For gas separations, that force is partial pressure (or fugacity). Since the ratio of the component fluxes determines the separation, the partial pressure of each component at each point is important. There are three ways of driving the process Either high partial pressure on the feed side (achieved by high total pressure), or low partial pressure on the permeate side, which may be achieved either by vacuum or by introduc-...

Air passing through the NO pathway enters the reaction chamber, where the NO present reacts with the ozone. The light produced is measured by the photomultiplier tube and converted to an NO concentration. The NO2 in the air stream in this pathway is unchanged. In the NO pathway, the NO- and N02-laden air enters the converter, where the NO2 is reduced to form NO all of the NO exits the converter as NO and enters the reaction chamber. The NO reacts with O3 and the output signal is the total NO concentration. The NO2 concentration in the original air stream is the difference between NO and NO. Calibration techniques use gas-phase titration of an NO standard with O3 or an NOj permeation device.

The selective separation range of P-6/S-200 was determined with Blue Dextran (Vexdi exclusion limit) and fructose (V,o total permeation limit). Molecular weight (degree of polymerization) calibration (Fig. 16.22) was established with dextran standards and low dp pullulans (dp 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18) formed by the controlled hydrolysis of high dp pullulan. 

Most GPC columns are provided with vendor estimates of the plate count of the column and a chromatogram of a series of test peaks. These plate count estimates are usually obtained using small molecule analytes that elute at the total permeation volume (Vp) of the column. The Gaussian peak shape model...
