Recovery front

The second front in the pulse, moving with velocity c2, sees the conversion of B to C. Thus 0 must fall from 0+. to zero. There may also be a final decay in the reactant concentration from a+ to zero. However, a+ is already small, so we will make the approximation that a = a+ k2 throughout the whole of this front. Assuming constant a means that again the system is reduced to one governing equation. Substituting a = k2 into eqn (11.52) gives a quadratic wave equation 

The boundary condition after the front (at z = — oo) is simply p = dp/ dz = 0. Ahead of the wave we have 0 = 0+ and d0/dz = 0 at some (unknown) z. In order to fix these pre-front conditions at + oo, we must rescale our distance coordinate. If we introduce a new travelling wave coordinate defined by 

Writing eqn (11.67) in terms of derivatives with respect to , we obtain 

This form is now the same as that of 11.2. Equation (11.69) permits any 

We expect this minimum velocity to be the stable velocity and hence that which is established. In terms of the previous coordinate z and velocity c2 this give

In the approximate treatment which follows we consider the two parts of the wave separately and see that the leading front can be considered as a cubic Fisher wave and the recovery front by a quadratic form.

If the mobility ratio is greater than 1.0, then there will be a tendency for the water to move preferentially through the reservoir, and give rise to an unfavourable displacement front which is described as viscous fingering. If the mobility ratio is less than unity, then one would expect stable displacement, as shown in Figure 8.16. The mobility ratio may be influenced by altering the fluid viscosities, and this is further discussed in Section 8.8, when enhanced oil recovery is introduced. 

The in situ combustion method of enhanced oil recovery through air injection (28,273,274) is a chemically complex process. There are three types of in situ combustion dry, reverse, and wet. In the first, air injection results in ignition of cmde oil and continued air injection moves the combustion front toward production wells. Temperatures can reach 300—650°C. Ahead of the combustion front is a 90—180°C steam 2one, the temperature of which depends on pressure in the oil reservoir. Zones of hot water, hydrocarbon gases, and finally oil propagate ahead of the steam 2one to the production well. 

The shock-induced micromechanical response of <100>-loaded single crystal copper is investigated [18] for values of (WohL) from 0 to 10. The latter value results in W 10 Wg at y = 0.01. No distinction is made between total and mobile dislocation densities. These calculations show that rapid dislocation multiplication behind the elastic shock front results in a decrease in longitudinal stress, which is communicated to the shock front by nonlinear elastic effects [pc,/po > V, (7.20)]. While this is an important result, later recovery experiments by Vorthman and Duvall [19] show that shock compression does not result in a significant increase in residual dislocation density in LiF. Hence, the micromechanical interpretation of precursor decay provided by Herrmann et al. [18] remains unresolved with existing recovery experiments. 

The stopping solution composition was based on experiments showing that lowering the pH from 9 to 5 to 1 reduced formation of cis-DMNM, perhaps because this prevented elution of the amine from the column, and that addition of ammonium sulfamate lowered cis-DMNM formation, relative to the situation where ascorbate alone was used as a nitrite trap. The hexane wash of the column was introduced to remove a large peak near the solvent front in the GC-TEA, perhaps due to neutral fats. Using the described procedure, the recovery of 70-160 ng NMOR added to 2 g semisynthetic diet was 92 + 19% (mean + S.D. for 13 measurements). The recovery of 227 ng NMOR from 5-8 g whole mouse homogenate using the Iqbal method was 101 + 57% for 7 measurements.

The separation of solids from liquids forms an important part of almost all front-end and back-end operations in hydrometallurgy. This is due to several reasons, including removal of the gangue or unleached fraction from the leached liquor the need for clarified liquors for ion exchange, solvent extraction, precipitation or other appropriate processing and the post-precipitation or post-crystallization recovery of valuable solids. Solid-liquid separation is influenced by many factors such as the concentration of the suspended solids the particle size distribution the composition the strength and clarity of the leach liquor and the methods of precipitation used. Some important points of the common methods of solid-liquid separation have been dealt with in Chapter 2. 

At present, leaching is one of the most essential front-end operations in hydrometallurgy, but in future hydrometallurgical processes for secondary metal recovery, treatment of low grade and complex ores, and research and development into high-temperature and high-pressure processes will become increasingly important.

Thermally enhanced extraction is another experimental approach for DNAPL source removal. Commonly know as steam injection, this technique for the recovery of fluids from porous media is not new in that it has been used for enhanced oil recovery in the petroleum industry for decades, but its use in aquifer restoration goes back to the early 1980s. Steam injection heats the solid-phase porous media and causes displacement of the pore water below the water table. As a result of pore water displacement, DNAPL and aqueous-phase chlorinated solvent compounds are dissolved and volatilized. The heat front developed during steam injection is controlled by temperature gradients and heat capacity of the porous media. Pressure gradients and permeability play a less important role. 

In this introduction, the viscoelastic properties of polymers are represented as the summation of mechanical analog responses to applied stress. This discussion is thus only intended to be very introductory. Any in-depth discussion of polymer viscoelasticity involves the use of tensors, and this high-level mathematics topic is beyond the scope of what will be presented in this book. Earlier in the chapter the concept of elastic and viscous properties of polymers was briefly introduced. A purely viscous response can be represented by a mechanical dash pot, as shown in Fig. 3.10(a). This purely viscous response is normally the response of interest in routine extruder calculations. For those familiar with the suspension of an automobile, this would represent the shock absorber in the front suspension. If a stress is applied to this element it will continue to elongate as long as the stress is applied. When the stress is removed there will be no recovery in the strain that has occurred. The next mechanical element is the spring (Fig. 3.10[b]), and it represents a purely elastic response of the polymer. If a stress is applied to this element, the element will elongate until the strain and the force are in equilibrium with the stress, and then the element will remain at that strain until the stress is removed. The strain is inversely proportional to the spring modulus. The initial strain and the total strain recovery upon removal of the stress are considered to be instantaneous.
