Sizing Solubility

High quality xylan diacetate is insoluble in most reagents although the acetates of degraded xylan become progressively more soluble as the molecular weight decreases. Solubility in pyridine first appears, while with further decrease in molecular size, solubility in chloroform occurs. Because of their insolubility, the acetates of undegraded xylan cause filtration difficulties when present in commercial cellulose acetates. 

Although Eq. (5.2) seems to be simple, it is actually very complicated because of the preceding factors. However, it does provide some theoretical basis for rational design of dissolution controlled release systems. Therefore, surface area (related to particle size), solubility, and viscosity may be the parameters that could be regulated or modified to suit certain desired release profiles. 

The relationship between particle size, solubility and supersaturation is expressed by the well-known Gibbs-Thomson equation [5a] ...

Ammonium polyphosphates, on the other hand, are relatively water insoluble, nonmelting solids with very high phosphorus contents (up to about 30%). There are several crystalline forms and the commercial products differ in molecular weights, particle sizes, solubilities, and so on. They are also widely used as components of intumescent paints and mastics where they function as the acid catalyst (i.e., by producing phosphoric acid upon decomposition). They are used in paints with pentaerythritol (or with a derivative of pentaerythritol) as the carbonific component and melamine as the spumific compound.22 In addition, the intumescent formulations typically contain resinous binders, pigments, and other fillers. These systems are highly efficient in flame-retarding hydroxy-lated polymers. 

The absorption of inhaled chromium compounds depends on a number of factors, including physical and chemical properties of the particles (oxidation state, size, solubility) and the activity of alveolar macrophages. 

The physical and chemical properties necessary to characterize fully the drug substance, which includes, but is not limited to, identification of impurities, particle size, solubility, bulk density, polymorphism, hygroscopicity, etc. 

The choice of the stationary phase can best be made after the analysis of both the primary and secondary reactions has been completed and the compounds to be separated have been listed. The selection of. the stationary phase is guided by the number of compounds in the reactions, and the kinds present. With an understanding of the differences between these compounds, be it their size, solubility, or charge, the stationary and mobile phases can be selected.

At present, it is considerably easier to study pheromone-protein interactions with a variety of smaller-sized soluble binding proteins. A number of such proteins may participate in the so-called perireceptor events [267] to transport pheromones, assist receptors, deactivate the reception site, etc. 

Among the characteristics of the adsorbent are its pore texture, surface chemistry, and mineral matter content. The characteristics of the adsorptive are its molecular size, solubility, polarity, pIC, (for electrolytes), and nature of the substituents if it is aromatic. Finally, the solution chemistry factors are the pH and the ionic strength [5]. I shall focus in this section only on the role of the characteristics of the adsorbent, especially its carbon surface chemistry, on the adsorption processes, because although its importance has long been recognized [6, 7], the exact nature of this importance has often been controversial and misunderstood [1]. 

Fractionation. Process of classification of an analyte or a group of analytes from a certain sample according to physical (e.g. size, solubility) or chemical (e.g. bonding, reactivity) properties. The terms are described in detail in the original manuscript (Templeton etal. 2000). See also Chapter 9. 

More commonly, permselective membranes create a differential in the transport rate of different species. The permeability differences may be based on physical size, solubility differences, or specific interactions between the polymer and the diffusing species. Permselective membranes are used in a variety of functions, such as diffusion barriers and membranes for interference removal. A commonly used permselective membrane is Nafion which demonstrates an extremely high affinity for organic cations, reasonable affinity for inorganic cations, and almost completely excludes both organic and inorganic anions [16]. 

Equilibrium in crystallization processes is reached when the solution is saturated, and the equiUbrimn relationship for bulk crystals is the solubility curve. (As shown later, the solubility of extremely small crystals is greater than that of crystals of ordinary size.) Solubility data are given in standard tables. " Curves showing solubility as a function of temperature are given in Fig. 27.2. Most materials follow... 

The factors determining the particular structure adopted hy an intermetallic compound or, indeed, whether such a compound exists at all as a single-phase material, have been the subject of much discussion for a considerable period of time. The Hume-Rothery rules for electron compound formation will he very familiar and are related physically to the size of the Fermi sphere in the appropriate Brillouin zone. For example, electron compounds are expected for valence electron concentrations of , fj and l for the bcc, y-brass and cph structures, respectively. The interplay of other factors such as the atomic size, solubility and crystal structure of the components on the formation of intermetallic compounds has been considered in considerable detail by many workers, including Yao (1962), who suggested that transition metal binary systems could be classified into groups according to an excess energy dE expressed as... 

Organo-metallic complexes in natural waters have mainly been characte ised using five operational classifications size, solubility, stability, degradability and lability of the complexes with respect to a wide variety of analytical conditions (Stumm and Brauner, 1975 Whitfield, 1975). 

As a result of the particle size solubility effect, solution compositions may exceed greatly the normal equilibrium saturation value if the excess solute particles dispersed in the solution are very small. For most solutes in water, however, the solubility increase only starts to become significant for particle sizes smaller than about 1 pm.
