Skimmings

The simplest way to dehydrate or de-oil an oil water mixture is to use settlingor skimming tanks respectively. Over time the relative density differences will separate the two liquids. Unfortunately this process takes time and space, both of which are often a constraint in... [Pg.246]

Skimming tanks have already been described as the simplest form of de-oiling facility such tanks can reduce oil concentrations down to less than 200 ppm but are not suitable for offshore operations. [Pg.248]

Another type of gravity separator used for small amounts of oily water, the oil interceptor, is widely used both offshore and onshore. These devices work by encouraging oil particles to coalesce on the surface of plates. Once bigger oil droplets are formed they tend to float to the surface of the water faster and can be skimmed off. A corrugated plate interceptor (CPI) is shown below and demonstrates the principle involved. However there are many varieties available. Plate interceptors can typically reduce oil content to 50-150 ppm. [Pg.248]

McBain reports the following microtome data for a phenol solution. A solution of 5 g of phenol in 1000 g of water was skimmed the area skimmed was 310 cm and a 3.2-g sample was obtained. An interferometer measurement showed a difference of 1.2 divisions between the bulk and the scooped-up solution, where one division corresponded to 2.1 X 10 g phenol per gram of water concentration difference. Also, for 0.05, 0.127, and 0.268M solutions of phenol at 20°C, the respective surface tensions were 67.7, 60.1, and 51.6 dyn/cm. Calculate the surface excess Fj from (a) the microtome data, (b) for the same concentration but using the surface tension data, and (c) for a horizontally oriented monolayer of phenol (making a reasonable assumption as to its cross-sectional area). [Pg.94]

Prior to about 1920, flotation procedures were rather crude and rested primarily on the observation that copper and lead-zinc ore pulps (crushed ore mixed with water) could be benefacted (improved in mineral content) by treatment with large amounts of fatty and oily materials. The mineral particles collected in the oily layer and thus could be separated from the gangue and the water. Since then, oil flotation has been largely replaced by froth or foam flotation. Here, only minor amounts of oil or surfactant are used and a froth is formed by agitating or bubbling air through the suspension. The oily froth or foam is concentrated in mineral particles and can be skimmed off as shown schematically in Fig. XIII-4. [Pg.472]

Before this treatment, the cassiterite content of the ore is increased by removing impurities such as clay, by washing and by roasting which drives off oxides of arsenic and sulphur. The crude tin obtained is often contaminated with iron and other metals. It is, therefore, remelted on an inclined hearth the easily fusible tin melts away, leaving behind the less fusible impurities. The molten tin is finally stirred to bring it into intimate contact with air. Any remaining metal impurities are thereby oxidised to form a scum tin dross ) on the surface and this can be skimmed off Very pure tin can be obtained by zone refining. [Pg.167]

If a particularly parallel beam is required in the chamber into which it is flowing the beam may be skimmed in the region of hydrodynamic flow. A skimmer is a collimator which is specially constructed in order to avoid shockwaves travelling back into the gas and increasing 7). The gas that has been skimmed away may be pumped off in a separate vacuum chamber. Further collimation may be carried out in the region of molecular flow and a so-called supersonic beam results. When a skimmer is not used, a supersonic jet results this may or may not be collimated. [Pg.396]

In a skimmed supersonic jet, the parallel nature of the resulting beam opens up the possibility of observing spectra with sub-Doppler resolution in which the line width due to Doppler broadening (see Section 2.3.4) is reduced. This is achieved by observing the specttum in a direction perpendicular to that of the beam. The molecules in the beam have zero velocity in the direction of observation and the Doppler broadening is reduced substantially. Fluorescence excitation spectra can be obtained with sub-Doppler rotational line widths by directing the laser perpendicular to the beam. The Doppler broadening is not removed completely because both the laser beam and the supersonic beam are not quite parallel. [Pg.398]

The fluorescence excifafion spectra in Figures 9.47(a) and 9.47(b) show the Ojj bands of the A B2 X Ai system of aniline (see Figure 5.19) and the aniline Ar complex in a skimmed supersonic jet of aniline seeded into the argon carrier gas. [Pg.398]

The xylenes are mildly toxic. They ate mild skin irritants, and skin protection and the cannister-type masks are recommended. The oral LD q value for rats is 4300 ppm. The STEL for humans is 150 ppm. Xylenes show only mild toxicity to fish, and the threshold limit for crop damage is 800—2400 ppm. Biodegradation with activated seed is slow, and sewage digestion is impaired by 0.1% concentrations. In the event of a spih, oil-skimming equipment, adsorbent foam, and charcoal maybe used for cleanup. [Pg.424]

There is more activity in dairy products than anywhere else in the food industry. Ice milk and fro2en yogurt, early leaders in the field, rose rapidly in sales then plummeted. Fat-free ice cream has been marketed, but final results are not yet available. Sales of these products have not cannibalized traditional ice cream (35). Standards for traditional ice cream call for a minimum of 10% butterfat. One fat-free ice cream product is prepared from nonfat milk (skim) and cellulose gum. Fat-free ice creams have encountered strong resistance in some segments of the retail trade. Retailers in Maine and New York, states with important dairy producing industries, refuse to sell such products (36). [Pg.118]

In the precoat mode, filter aids allow filtration of very fine or compressible soHds from suspensions of 5% or lower soHds concentration on a rotary dmm precoat filter. This modification of the rotary dmm vacuum filter uses an advancing knife continuously to skim off the separated soHds and the... [Pg.389]

Other examples are glycine — formaldehyde, alanine — acetaldehyde, valine — isobutyraldehyde, phenylalanine — phenylacetaldehyde, and methionine — methional (106). Products such as dried skim milk, dried eggs, and dehydrated vegetables and fmits are particularly susceptible to deteriorative flavor changes ascribed to this reaction (Table 10). [Pg.18]

The enrichment program followed in the United States is (/) the enrichment of flour, bread, and degerminated and white rice using thiamin [59-43-8] C 2H y N O S, riboflavin [83-88-5] C2yH2QN4Na02P, niacin [59-67-6] CgH N02, and iron [7439-89-6]-, (2) the retention or restoration of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron in processed food cereals (J) the addition of vitamin D [67-97-0] to milk, fluid skimmed milk, and nonfat dry milk (4) the addition of vitamin A [68-26-8], C2qH2qO, to margarine, fluid skimmed milk, and nonfat dry milk (5) the addition of iodine [7553-56-2] to table salt and (6) the addition of fluoride [16984-48-8] to areas in which the water supply has a low fluoride content (74). [Pg.443]

The sweet water from continuous and batch autoclave processes for splitting fats contains tittle or no mineral acids and salts and requires very tittle in the way of purification, as compared to spent lye from kettle soapmaking (9). The sweet water should be processed promptly after splitting to avoid degradation and loss of glycerol by fermentation. Any fatty acids that rise to the top of the sweet water are skimmed. A small amount of alkali is added to precipitate the dissolved fatty acids and neutralize the liquor. The alkaline liquor is then filtered and evaporated to an 88% cmde glycerol. Sweet water from modem noncatalytic, continuous hydrolysis may be evaporated to ca 88% without chemical treatment. [Pg.347]

The brine clean-up consists of skimming and settling steps to free the solution from oil, clays, and other impurities. Sulfuric acid is then added until a pH of <2.5 is reached ensuring iodine Hberation by oxidation, precipitation of the soluble barium contained in the brine, and recovery of the remaining iodine. [Pg.363]

Dressing. The impure lead bulhon, produced from any of the smelting processes, is cooled to remove dissolved copper prior to the refining operation. The operation is referred to as copper drossing, and is performed in one or two 250 t cast-iron ketdes. The process consists of skimming off the dross, stirring the lead, and reskimming. [Pg.41]

Stirrer is then stopped, and the lead skimmed. The dross should contain from 0.004 to 0.04% copper. [Pg.42]

In the Betterton-KroU process the dezinced lead is pumped to the debismuthizing kettie, in which special care is taken to remove drosses that wastefuUy consume the calcium and magnesium. The skimmed blocks from the previous debismuthizing kettie are added to the bath at 420°C and stirred for a short time to enrich the dross with the bismuth being extracted from the new charge. This enriched dross is skimmed to blocks and sent to the bismuth recovery plant. [Pg.47]

FoUowing the removal of the enriched dross, the required quantities of calcium, as a lead—calcium alloy and magnesium in the form of metal ingots, are added. The bath is stirred about 30 min to incorporate the reagents and hasten the reaction. The molten lead is cooled gradually to 380°C to permit the precipitate to grow and soHdify. The dross is skimmed for use with the next lot of lead to be treated. [Pg.47]

The principal types of scrap are battery plates and paste, drosses, skimmings, and industrial scrap such as solders, babbitts, cable sheathing, etc. [Pg.48]
