Potassium simulations

Such an analysis indicates that the zero-sink assumption must be used with extreme caution if accurate flux calculations are required at the local root level. Potassium, for example, is close to the limiting value of A, for the zero sink assumption to be fulfilled, and simulations with larger roots or larger buffer powers could well lead to inaccurate simulation results. Any zero-sink model involving nitrate should be treated with some suspicion. The zero-sink assumption is also widely used in root architecture models (see later).

As a starting point, we will try to quantify the required activity of a new catalyst by simulating the S02 emission from a double absorption plant as a function of 4th bed catalyst activity for a feed gas with 11% S02 and 10% 02 and a 3+1 converter with fixed bed volumes, cf. Fig. 4. With a conventional potassium-promoted catalyst such as VK38 from Haldor Topsoc (relative activity 1), a typical requirement in the 1990ies of minimum 99.7% S02 conversion corresponding to 395 ppm S02 in the stack gas can be achieved in this plant at a 4th bed inlet temperature of 430-435°C. With a 2-3 times more active catalyst in bed 4, the S02 emission in this plant can be reduced to below 200 ppm at a lower optimum inlet temperature. 

An interaction potential between the surface and ions may also be needed in simulating counterion diffusion for the smectite and mica surface models. The form of such an interaction potential remains to be determined. This may not pose a significant problem, since recent evidence (40) suggests that over 98% of the cations near smectite surfaces lie within the shear plane. For specifically adsorbed cations such as potassium or calcium, the surface-ion interactions can also be neglected if it is assumed that cation diffusion contributes little to the water structure. In simulating the interaction potential between counterions and interfacial water, a water-ion interaction potential similar to those already developed for MD simulations (41-43) could be specified.

The scheme that is shown in Figure 9.9 is very simple. More complex qualitative analyses involve many more steps of isolation and identification, including some steps that are not precipitation reactions. For example, some ions, such as sodium, Na", and potassium, K, cannot he precipitated out of an aqueous solution, because the ionic compounds that contain them are always soluble. Instead, chemists identify these ions using a flame test. In the following ThoughtLab, you will simulate a qualitative analysis that includes a flame test. 

All chemicals were used as received. PDADMAC and PAMPS were obtained from Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, WI). Diclofenac sodium, sodium sulfathiazole, labetalol HCl, propranolol HCl, verapamil HCl, and diltiazem HCl were purchased from Sigma Chemical (St. Louis, MO). Dextrose USP was obtained from Amend Co. (Irvinton, NJ). Water was distilled and deionized using a Nanopure purihcation system (Fischer Scientihc, Fair Lawn, NJ). Simulated intestinal fluid was prepared using a O.OIM phosphate buffer (sodium phosphate monobasic and potassium phosphate dibasic) at pH 7 and 5.5 with different amounts of NaCl to vary the ionic strength. Simulated gastric fluid (pH 1.5) was prepared with concentrated HCl with different amounts of NaCl to vary the ionic strength. 

Photolytic. The photodegradation rate of sulfotepp in water increased in the presence of humic acid. Under simulated sunlight, the half-lives of sulfotepp in water containing 10 and 100 mg/L of humic acid-potassium salt were 38.4 and 12.4 h, respectively (Jensen-Korte et al., 1987).
