Purees frozen

If the solution is in equilibrium with pure frozen solvent at the temperature T we have ... 

The relative entropy changes for all the processes discussed, pure equilibrium (C-E), pure frozen (C-F), kinetic rate controlling (C-I-G-A), modified Bray (C-B-R) and approximate Bray (C-T-S), are all shown on Fig. II. C. 1. In order to see somewhat more clearly the relative order of the performance for each procedure, the three-dimensional graph given in figure n. C. 2. is represented by... 

A major fraction of the volatiles are ices. Volatileicy materials can exist as pure frozen materials, as materials trapped in amorphous ice or in clathrate hydrates. Table 1 lists the approximate temperature ranges where volatiles could be released from cometary ices (Prialnik, 2(X)2). 

As an example, consider N2O4 and NO2 (Figure 15.1 ), which readily interconvert. When pure frozen N2O4 is warmed above its boiling point (21.2 C), the gas in the sealed tube turns progressively darker as colorless N2P4 gas dissociates into brown NO2 gas (Figure 15.2 ) ... 

Less resolved spectra were recorded from y-irradiated, pure, frozen hydrazine [21, 22], frozen alcoholic [23], and aqueous hydrazine solutions [24]. 

Concentration. The concentration of fmit juice requites removal of solvent (water) from the natural juice. This is commonly done by evaporation, but the derived juices may lose flavor components or undergo thermal degradation during evaporation. In freeze concentration, solvent is crystallized (frozen) in a relatively pure form to leave behind a solution with a solute concentration higher than the original mixture. Significant advantages in product taste have been observed in the appHcation of this process to concentration of certain fmit juices. 

Low temperatures can cause a phase separation in stabilized solutions in which case one phase can become deficient in stabilizer and subject to runaway reactions. Acrylic acid can crystallize out of stabilized solution, and subsequent thawing of these essentially pure acrylic acid crystals can initiate runaway reactions, often with severe consequences. Thawing of crystallized (frozen) materials needs to be accomplished using established procedures in thaw boxes or similar devices. If established procedures are not available, a safety review needs to be conducted and a procedure developed prior to thawing the material.

Pure Commercial Benzene, obtained from coal-tai naphtha, should distil w lthin one degiee (80—Si ), and solidify completely when cooled to 0°. Other tests are as follow s shaken with concentrated sulphuric acid for a few minutes, the acid should not darken, and a drop of bromine water should not be immediately decolourised. A single distillation over a few small pieces of sodium, which absorb any traces of water, is usually a sufficient purification. If the benzene impart a brown or black colour to the sulphuric acid, it must be repeatedly shaken with about 20 per cent, of the acid until the lattev becomes only slightly yellow on standing. This is done in a stoppered separating funnel, and after shaking fora few minutes the mixture is allow ed to settle, and the low er layer of acid diawn off. The benzene is then shaken tw o 01 three times with water to free it from acid, carefully separated from the aqueous layer, and left in contact with fused calcium chloride until the liquid becomes clear. It is then decanted, frozen in ice, and any liquid (carbon bisulphide, paraffins) carefully drained off, and die benzene finally distilled over sodium. 

Let us compare the behavior of these two systems during a phase change. Consider, first, how water acts when it is frozen or vaporized. Pure water freezes at a fixed temperature, 0°C. If we freeze half of a water sample to ice, remove the ice, melt it in another container, and compare the separate samples, we find that the two fractions of the original sample are indistinguishable. 

Microbial strains must be maintained in such a way that they do not lose their desirable characteristics. Some strains are maintained by regular subculturing, whereas others are lyophilised (freeze-dried), or frozen under nitrogen, or held at -80°C in a freezer. To ensure that a standard inoculum can be obtained on demand, great care is taken to ensure that foe stored cultures are pure and foe viability is known. 

If hot sulfur melts or hot sulfur vapors at low pressure are frozen at low temperatures highly colored samples are obtained which may be black, green or red depending on the temperature and pressure conditions and on the rate of quenching [69]. These colors originate from the small molecules and radicals, present at high temperatures, which become trapped in the solid sample. At room temperature these samples turn yellow, provided the sulfur has been very pure. 

The irradiation (or ion bombardment) of solid solutions, where a scavenger can be present, should also be explored further. Here it will be important to ensure that the solids are indeed solutions before conclusions can be safely drawn. It is curious to note that the yields observed in frozen solutions are in several cases very similar to the yields in the pure crystalline solutes. This suggests the possibility that the frozen targets had segregated, and that the solute was in fact present as micro crystals. (If this is the case, it may well be that a new method can be developed on this basis for making phase studies at high dilution.)... 

It has been possible to record the IR and UV spectra of several derivatives of the carbene [75] - tetrachlorocyclopentadienylidene [80], indenylidene [81] and fluorenylidene [82] (Bell and Dunkin, 1985). These carbenes were formed by UV photolysis of the corresponding diazo precursors frozen in inert matrices and have a triplet ground state. The carbenes [80]-[82] react with CO in inert matrices at 30 K, but exhibit a lower reactivity than the carbene [75]. Furthermore, they were stabilized in a pure CO matrix at 12 K, whereas the free carbene [75] could not be detected under these conditions. The different reactivity towards CO between [75] and [80]-[82] may be associated with the different steric shielding of the carbene centres and with the different triplet-singlet gap as well.
