Primary maximum

Drinking water suppHed to carbonated soft drink manufacturing faciUties from private or municipal sources must comply with all regulatory requirements. Treated water must meet all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency primary maximum contaminant levels and may also be subject to additional state requirements. Treated water is routinely analyzed for taste, odor, appearance, chlorine, alkalinity, iron, pH, total dissolved soHds, hardness, and microbiological contamination. 

The Onset of Instability - The Critical Coagulation Concentration. Provided that the magnitude of the primary maximum is substantial, then the probability of the transition of the approaching particle into the primary minimum is small. However,... 

Probably these anomalies of the OM parameters might be connected with the process of chemosynthesis, and the layer of bacterial chemosynthesis should play an important role in the formation of the vertical distribution of nutrient species there. The results of measurements of the dark CO2 fixation [78,79] usually reveal the primary maximum of chemosynthesis (about 0.4-2.0 jiM d x) in a 20-30-m layer below the hydrogen sulfide boundary. The less pronounced secondary maximum is observed about 5-10 m shallower than the hydrogen sulfide boundary and is likely to be connected with nitrification [78]. 

In general, the electrostatic repulsion is evident at a shorter distance than the steric interaction as long as the adsorbed molecules do not desorb from the particle surface. When three interactions (i.e., electrostatic, van der Waals, and steric) are combined, a primary maximum energy at a large distance results. 

A second parameter which influences the shape of the total energy curve is the surface potential of the particles. We can see from equation (7.4) that will increase with an increase in the changes which occur in the total curve are seen in Fig. 7.6. There is a decrease in the primary maximum as the surface potential decreases and you should note the appearance of a secondary minimum at the intermediate value of (see C).

Moreover, semi-ladder polymers based on DIC units were obtained in much more classical ways. 2,11- and 3,10-dichloro DIC derivatives were polymerized through a nickel(0)-mediated Yamamoto polymerization reaction [95]. The resulting polymers are soluble in ODCB and partially soluble in CB. The absorption maxima of the BIC-based polymers clearly indicate a planar structure. The absorption maxima of the polymeric precursors show a primary maximum around 350 nm compared to the ladder-type polymers where the maximum is centered around 470 nm [50]. This significant red shift clearly indicates the higher degree of conjugation in the planar rigid polymers. The fluorescence spectra of those polymers also show the same trend. 

When the Ewald sphere intersects a node, or primary maximum, there is great intensity on the LEED screen. The wavelengths at which primary maxima correspond to bulk Laue maxima (heavy points in Fig. 23b) can be calculated directly from Bragg s law and assigned as three-dimensional reflections hkl for incidence along the direction. 

In other instances the repulsive potential may become so soft Figure 3.1 1 (iv) that the primary maximum is lowered and coagulation takes place into the primary minimum. This occurs if the polymer chains are too short, or not present at sufficient density on the surface to provide an adequate stcric barrier. In this case it is often found that there arc no conditions under which the dispersion is stable. 

The essentials of the Schulze-Hardy rule are readily derived from the DLVO theory presented in this section. With reference to Fig. 8.1.3 it can be seen that the primary maximum of the curve V(2) is the demarcation point between stability and instability. At that point... 

From the last equation the location of the primary maximum is seen to be at an interparticle distance / = A. Inserting this result into Eq. (8.1.23) gives the critical Debye length by the proportionality...
