Temperature separation and

In addition, the separator temperature and pressure of the surface facilities are typically outside the two-phase envelope, so that no liquids form during separation. This makes the prediction of the produced fluids during development very simple, and gas sales contracts can be agreed with the confidence that the fluid composition will remain constant during field life in the case of a dry gas. 

For a separation with pure CO2 eluent, the solvent power of the fluid drastically decreases, leading to solute precipitation (if it is sohd at the separation temperature) and eluent-solute separation. When a co-solvent is used, the gaseous CO2 is removed and the product is recovered in the liquid co-solvent it is consequently at a much higher concentration than in batch liquid chromatography. 

A common example of flash vaporization is the separation of gas and liquid in surface equipment in an oil or gas field.1 The fluid from the wellhead is brought to equilibrium in a separator at separator temperature and pressure. This fluid is called separator feed. 

Step l Calculate the quantities and compositions of the gas and liquid leaving the separator. Use the composition of the feed stream to the separator, separator temperature, and separator pressure. 

In almost all organosolv processes, chemical catalysis plays a necessary role, as solvents alone do not function effectively for the separation of biomass.403 The most commonly employed processes, based on the treatment of biomass with aqueous alcohols at elevated temperatures, are autocatalyzed. Acetic acid is generated during the separation process through hydrolysis of acetate groups present on the hemicellulose polymer.397,404 406 Alternatively, acid can be added to the separation medium prior to the process. Adding acid catalyst normally allows lower separation temperatures and milder conditions. Chemical catalysis has proven to be of particular importance for the... 

Suppose that one conducts a series of experiments to determine the stress and temperature dependence of creep behavior for the fibers and matrix these experiments would provide curves such as those shown schematically in Fig. 5.6a and b. Conducting these experiments over a range of temperatures and stresses would provide a family of curves that could be combined to provide a relationship between strain rate, stress, and temperature. Such a temperature and stress dependence of constituent intrinsic creep rates, together with the intrinsic creep mismatch ratio, is schematically illustrated in Fig. 5.6c. In this plot, the creep equations for the two constituents at a given temperature and stress are represented by planes in (1 IT, logo-, logs) space, with different slopes, described by <2/> Qm and ny, nm. The intersection of the two planes represents the condition where CMR = 1, which separates temperature and stress into two regimes CMR< 1 and CMR> 1. 

In gas phase chromatography, the separations can be so complex that it can be difficult to determine in advance whether the temperature should be increased or decreased. The choice of column, its length, its diameter, the stationary phase composition and the phase ratio (l/ y/l/s) as well as the parameters of separation (temperature and flow rate), are amongst the factors which interact with each other. 

Equation (4-4a) predicts that heterogeneity will decrease with increasing separation temperature, and linear capacity should therefore increase with increases in temperature. Barrer and Rees (7) have provided a detailed discussion of the dependence of isotherm linearity on temperature in gas-solid systems, and it is now generally accepted that isotherm linearity normally improves with increasing temperature [e.g.. Ref. (/i)]. Numer- ous examples of increased isotherm linearity with increase in temperature have been reported for liquid-solid systems as well [e.g., Ref. (14)]. It must be kept in mind, however, that polar adsorbents generally lose water... 

A third example W uses fractional separation by a variation In separator temperature and pressure, usually with two or more separation vessels In series and by reducing the pressure In steps. This technique results In the separation of the less volatile components from more volatile compounds. Caraway seeds are extracted and precipitated In three stages, yielding three distinct fractions. [Figure 13] The first separator fraction contains only 1% essential oil and consists mainly of fatty oils. The second separator fraction, which amounts to only 9.6% of the extract, consists of a mixture of approximately one part essential oil to two parts fatty oils. The third separator fraction contains 90% caraway essential oil, reported to have excellent flavor characteristics. 

The effective length of the column was 20 cm and it was packed with 3 p,m Phenyl Hypersil. The separation temperature and voltage were 20°C and 20 kV, respectively, and the detection wavelength was 254 nm. The electrolyte was composed of pH 5 acetic acid/ammonia-ACN (95/5), and the ionic strengths used were 10 and 5 mM, respectively. 

A series spectroscopic analysis of the phase separation kinetics in model PUs was made by Lee et al [200]. Isothermal phase separation kinetics was studied by raising the PUs sample temperature quickly to the phase separation temperature and measure the changes in the infrared spectrum at constant temperature. They assigned spectroscopic features characteristic of urethane linkages dispersed in the... 

Low specific sorption capacity suggested that these columns can be used successfully for separating high-boiling (nonvolatile) compounds. Small specific sorption capacity also allows reduction of the separation temperature and hence an increase in the number of compounds analyzed. 

The thermal history has a profound influence on the DSC curves of polymer blends containing at least one crystalline component. In order to obtain by DSC experiments, the samples are usually first heated to a temperature between the phase separation temperature and the melting point of the crystalline component and held for several minutes to remove the thermal history. 

The basic concept of the Heinen fluidized bed system is based on a sectional structure with separated inlet zones for the drying air (Fig. 4). This means, the drying or fluidizing air is added section by section in multiple, separate temperature and air zones as explained earher. 

Table II shows the influence of BMA content on the phase separation temperature, swelling ratio and mechanical properties including tensile strength and elongation of DMAEMA-BMA copolymer hydrogels. It can be seen that with the increase of BMA content in copolymers, both the phase separation temperature and the swelling ratio decrease while the tensile strength and elongation increase. This can be attributed to the decrease of hydrophilicity of the copolymers with the increase of...
