Lifter Wheel and Sand Trap.—From the pump or pulp meter the pulp flows, into the lifter wheel, end is. further diluted with water. This is a wheel composed, of buckets, into which the eave-all water flows, and is by. them lifted to its former level for the purpose of being. 

Filtration through coarse sand traps larger, insoluble particles. The sand also contains specially grown microbes which remove some of the bacteria. 

Hot plates are also used to heat one type of material so that a second may be heated. These secondary heaters may include water baths, oil baths, sand traps, or aluminum plates. Water and oil baths are typically used to heat a drying flask on vacuum evaporators. Oil baths are more messy and require special clean up, but the oil (typically a silicone oil) will not evaporate during drying processes that can take up to several hours. Stronski came up with a very simple and easy solution to limit water evaporation. Stronski8 recommended that the user float Styrofoam popcorn or chips up to three inches deep on water. This suggestion not only limited evaporation, but extended the maximum controlled temperature range.

The structures for separation of substances by sedimentation — gravel and sand traps, sedimentation and slot tanks — are simple to construct and undemanding in their operation. 

According to the flow direction, horizontal and vertical sand traps are used, as well as sand traps with transversal circulation. The simplest type is a chamber sand trap (Fig. 3.49). 

EPA method 16. Iuses oxidation followed by a purge-and-lrap method and cold-vapor atomic fluorescence. Mercury is preconcentrated in the gold coated sand trap by amalgamation. One commercial instrument uses an atomic fluorescence deiection system and claims a working range from <0.05 ppl to - 250 ppb. Iliis method is quite useful for a variety of sample types ranging from seawater to sewage. 

Mechanical devices such as screening units, sand traps, and sieving plants remove sand and coarse material to ensure smooth operation of the downstream plant.

Chapter lOW), indicating its location online. Furthermore, an icon will be used in the margin to indicate website material that will be of interest to the user. We hope this treatment of the laboratory will make the more important aspects of the basic text easier to access and will speed your laboratory work along. We then give you a few words of advice, which, if they are heeded, will allow you to avoid many of the sand traps you wiU find as you develop microscale laboratory techniques. Finally, we wax philosophical and attempt to describe what we think you shorUd derive from this experience.

Example 3.4.9 Estimation of the size of a sand trap of a sewage piant... 

Plants for sewage treatment use a sand trap to separate and remove sand. The tank should be large enough that the sand can settle. As an example we use a minimum particle size of 0.2 mm, a volume rate of the sewage water of 1 m s and a trap height of 3 m. What is the volume of the trap needed for sedimentation, if the accelaration phase is negligible (Example 3.4.8), and if the volume content of sand is less than 5%, that is, the sedimentation process is not hindered by the interactions of particles with each other For the given conditions (d = 0.2mm, Pp = 1500 kg m , pf= 1000 kg m , v = 1 x 10 m s ),...
