The reduction of zinc ions at d.m.e. has widely been studied and the reaction has been reported to be quasi-reversible.94 Van Der Pol and co-workers54 studied this reaction by the faradaic rectification polarographic technique using high-frequency modulated signals. The kinetic parameters have been evaluated by the... 

There are various approaches to the data-reduction task. An often used one consists of computing the modulus of the complex phase-detector signal. This removes all offset imperfections as well as any receiver phase misad-justment, bringing us theoretically to what we would have by summing the outputs of two independent, ideal diode detectors. In this case, however, the original signals are still available and can be used to check various aspects of data quality, carry out additional corrections (such as removal of noise-rectification artifacts), or submitted to alternative evaluation algorithms.

The first wheel of this rotation of the Elements, as d Espagnet calls it, consists in the Reduction of Matter to Water, in which generation begins the eclipse of the Sun and the Moon then takes place. The second wheel is an Evacuation of the superfluous humidity, and a Coagulation of Matter, under the form of a viscous and metallic Earth the third wheel causes the Separation and Rectification of substances the Waters are separated from the Waters. All is spiritualized, or volatilized the Sun and Moon resume their brightness and Light begins to appear on Earth. The fourth wheel is the Creation of Sulphur. 

LIQUID RESISTANCE TO INTERPHASE MASS TRANSFER. Liquid viscosity, gas solubility in absorbers, and relative volatility in rectification columns are important factors in determining the liquid resistance to interphase mass transfer. Increase in liquid viscosity, decrease in gas solubility for absorbers, and increase in relative volatility for rectification columns cause an increase in the liquid resistance to interphase mass transfer and a resultant reduction in plate efficiency. The ratio of the liquid rate to the gas rate influences the relative importance of the liquid resistance to interphase mass transfer. An increase in the ratio of liquid rate to gas rate reduces the importance of the liquid resistance and can cause an increase in the plate efficiency. 

Due to the increased difficulty of separating THF and ethylacetate in the presence s of water, it was necessary to dewater the THF/ ethylacetate-mixture before the rectification. The ethylacetate/ THF rectification column (119) was designed for 60 theoretical stages and a reflux ratio of 15. The column was operated at 0.5 bar since the VLE-data are slightly more favorable under vacuum.3 A further reduction of the rectification pressure was not possible since water was used for condensing the distillate. 

In these calculations, the 10% energy loss in compressing the hydrogen has been retained, while the 10% loss in distributing hydrogen has been replaced with a 10% loss in the electricity-supply system that would result from trans-mission/distribution, voltage reduction and rectification operations.
