Different analytical procedures have been developed for direct atomic spectrometry of solids applicable to inorganic and organic materials in the form of powders, granulate, fibres, foils or sheets. For sample introduction without prior dissolution, a sample can also be suspended in a suitable solvent. Slurry techniques have not been used in relation to polymer/additive analysis. The required amount of sample taken for analysis typically ranges from 0.1 to 10 mg for analyte concentrations in the ppm and ppb range. In direct solid sampling method development, the mass of sample to be used is determined by the sensitivity of the available analytical lines. Physical methods are direct and relative instrumental methods, subjected to matrix-dependent physical and nonspectral interferences. Standard reference samples may be used to compensate for systematic errors. The minimum difficulties cause INAA, SNMS, XRF (for thin samples), TXRF and PIXE.

New reactor technologies are currently under development, and these include meso- and micro-structured reactors or the use of membranes. Among meso-structured reactors, monolithic catalysts play a pre-eminent role in environmental applications, initially in the cleaning of automotive exhaust gases. Beside this gas-solid application, other meso-structures such as membranes [57, 58], corrugated plate or other arranged catalysts and, of course, monoliths can be used as multiphase reactors [59, 60]. These reactors also offer a real potential for process intensification, which has already been demonstrated in commercial applications such as the production of hydrogen peroxide. 

The INCA system can recover virtually any target metal in any aqueous waste stream containing up to 60% solids. Applications include on-site remediation of mining effluents and contaminated groundwater. The INCA system can also be used as an in-process treatment system for manufacturing processes where metals in solution are a problem. The modular unit can easily be used in tandem with other technologies, such as those that remove hydrocarbons, as part of a total treatment train. 

Plate and frame RO modules are typically used for specialty, high suspended solids applications and are not generally found in water-purification facilities. These modules consist of flat sheets of membrane that are modularized into plates, typically two membranes placed back to back per plate. The plates are then stacked within a framework for support. There are patterned spacers materials that are used to keep the membranes from sticking to each other and providing open channels for the feed and product water to flow through. Figure 4.12 shows a typical plant-and-frame membrane module. 

They are relatively easy to clean, hence their use in high suspended solids applications. Cleaning in-situ is possible but does not offer the best removal of fou-lants and scale. The best membrane cleaning involves removing the plates from the frame and hand-cleaning each individual flat sheet of membrane. 

Tubular modules are also used for specialty, high-solids applications typically found in the food and biological processing industries. Tubular modules range from Vi- to 1-inch (1.3 - 2.6 cm) in diameter with the membrane feed side on the inside of the tube. Packing densities run about 6 -120 fP/ft3.22... 

Moving-Bed Type This concept uses a single-pass tube bundle in a vertical shell with the divided solids flowing by gravity in the tubes. It is little used for solids. A major difficulty in divided-solids applications is the problem of charging and discharging with uniformity. A second is poor heat-transfer rates. Because of these limitations, this tube-bundle type is not the workhorse for solids that it is for liquid and gas-phase heat exchange. 

Coordination Chemistry). The Cr (3d ) state is special also in a sense that it is a transitional state between two normal states, the localized electron state and the itinerant electronic state (see Electronic Structure of Solids). Application of high pressure at relatively low temperatures seems to be required to stabilize the relatively unstable Cr ions in oxygen octahedra.

Stoeckli and Kraehenbuehl [1984] have proposed a relationship between the heat of immersion and the micropoious volume of a porous solid, applicable to materials having a wide range of external surface areas. This allows a rapid determination of the pore size distribution below 0.8 to 1 nm. The technique, however, requires a non-porous standard material of surface composition similar to the membrane material.

Unique features of erythritol include low hygroscopicity and rapid crystallization. This latter feature presents a challenge in high solids applications since rapid crystallization can cause textural problems. 

An alternate agitator design is shown in Fig. 6.4. This pitched blade turbine, sometimes referred to as an "axial flow impeller", is specially suited for high speed liquid/solid applications where tank baffles may be impractical. The fluid can be directed up or down depending on the direction of the pitch of the blades.
