The most often used subphase is water. Mercury and otlier liquids [12], such as glycerol, have also occasionally been used [13,14]. The water has to be of ultrapure quality. The pH value of tire subphase has to be adjusted and must be controlled, as well as tire ion concentration. Different amphiphiles are differently sensitive to tliese parameters. In general it takes some time until tire whole system is in equilibrium and tire final values of pressure and otlier variables are reached. Organic contaminants cannot always be removed completely. Such contaminants, as well as ions, can have a hannful influence on tire film preparation. In general, all chemicals and materials used in tire film preparation have to be extremely pure and clean. 

For advanced work, it is advisable to use a thermometer of better quality and which is provided with a small mercury bulb the latter rapidly attains the temperature of the bath or vapour. Satisfactory small bulb thermometers are msinufactured inter alia by H. J. Elliott Ltd. Sind by Short sind Mason Ltd. 

In 1988 diaphragm cells accounted for 76% of all U.S. chlorine production, mercury cells for 17%, membrane cells for 5%, and all other production methods for 2%. Corresponding statistics for Canadian production are diaphragm cells, 81% mercury cells, 15% and membrane cells, 4% (5). for a number of reasons, including concerns over mercury pollution, recent trends are away from mercury cell production toward the more environmentally acceptable membrane cells, which also produce higher quality product and have favorable economics. 

Liquid-in-glass thermometers measure the thermal expansion of a liquid, which is placed in a solid container, on a length scale. The mercury thermometer is one example of liquid thermometers. Alcohol is also used with this type of instrument. The temperature range is -80 to a-330 °C depending on the liquid. The quality, stability, and accuracy vary considerably. The advantages are a simple construction and low price. A disadvantage is that they are not compatible for connection to monitoring systems. 

Add 3 drops of chloroform or 10mgL 1 of mercury(II) iodide these compounds improve the keeping qualities of the solution. 

Ca, Co, Ni, Pb, and Bi in single or combined application, with or without small amounts of mercury. The probably most important patents are cited in Ref. [211. Finally, the research and development activities led to a zinc quality, which is specified as "no mercury added" (nobody dares to claim "zero mercury"). Commercial zinc powders frequently contain a combination of indium, lead, and bismuth in variable concentrations up to 500 ppm each [25].
