Phosphorus critical ratios

Gas flows as well as hydrogen-air or hydrogen-oxygen flow ratios are critical to maximum response. Sensitivity on the sulfur mode decreases with increases in detector temperature, whereas in the phosphorus mode it increases with increased detector temperature. 

The ratio IPCI3 1S 0.02A1C13 is critical. The quantities of reagents employed are optional provided that the ratio is maintained. Excess phosphorus (III) chloride renders separation of the final product difficult, whereas excess aluminum chloride causes the reaction to go too rapidly for adequate control. The aluminum chloride used should be white. The yellow form promotes a more rapid reaction however, the resulting yields are lower. 

The value of b for phosphorus in combination is obtained additively from the critical data of phosphine. For the compound b is 0-00233, and for three hydrogen atoms 3b is 0-001086, whence b for combined phosphorus (1 atom) is 0-001244. The ratio of this to b for the free element gives the atomicity, 4-33, of the latter. 

It has been seen in the previous section that the ratio of the onsite electron-electron Coulomb repulsion and the one-electron bandwidth is a critical parameter. The Mott-Hubbard insulating state is observed when U > W, that is, with narrow-band systems like transition metal compounds. Disorder is another condition that localizes charge carriers. In crystalline solids, there are several possible types of disorder. One kind arises from the random placement of impurity atoms in lattice sites or interstitial sites. The term Anderson localization is applied to systems in which the charge carriers are localized by this type of disorder. Anderson localization is important in a wide range of materials, from phosphorus-doped silicon to the perovskite oxide strontium-doped lanthanum vanadate, Lai cSr t V03. 

The term d[P j,]/dt is calculated assuming that the concentration of phosphorus in all decomposing litter is 0.16 mmol 1110 . This is based on the 68% retranslocation of P from leaves and fine roots and the average branch, bole, and coarse root P concentrations (Sec. 3.2). Where the sensitivity of the model to P accumulation in the microbial carbon pool is tested, based on data summarized by Gijsman et al. (1996) we use a tissue P concentration for microbes of 6.4 mmol P moG C. In all simulations, it is assumed that soil phosphorus mineralization proceeds with a rate constant of 0.5 year , with phosphorus mineralization proceeding independently of carbon mineralization. This is on the basis of the evidence discussed in Sec. 2.1. Indeed, inflexible soil carbon pool C/P ratios which effectively link phosphorus mineralization rate to the carbon mineralization rate in models such as CENTURY (Parton et al, 1988) have been strongly criticized by some tropical soil chemists (Gijsman et al, 1996).

Generally speaking, nutritionists recommend a calcium-phosphorus ratio of 1.5 1 in infancy, decreasing to 1 1 at 1 year of age, and remaining at 1 1 throughout the rest of life although they consider ratios between 2 1 and 1 2 as satisfactory. However, if plenty of vitamin D is present (provided either in the diet or by sunlight), the ratio of calcium to phosphorus becomes less critical. Likewise, less vitamin D is needed when there is a desirable calcium-phosphorus ratio.
