Solid component fraction

Solubility equilibria are described quantitatively by the equilibrium constant for solid dissolution, Ksp (the solubility product). Formally, this equilibrium constant should be written as the activity of the products divided by that of the reactants, including the solid. However, since the activity of any pure solid is defined as 1.0, the solid is commonly left out of the equilibrium constant expression. The activity of the solid is important in natural systems where the solids are frequently not pure, but are mixtures. In such a case, the activity of a solid component that forms part of an "ideal" solid solution is defined as its mole fraction in the solid phase. Empirically, it appears that most solid solutions are far from ideal, with the dilute component having an activity considerably greater than its mole fraction. Nevertheless, the point remains that not all solid components found in an aquatic system have unit activity, and thus their solubility will be less than that defined by the solubility constant in its conventional form. 

NMR spectroscopy is one of the most widely used analytical tools for the study of molecular structure and dynamics. Spin relaxation and diffusion have been used to characterize protein dynamics [1, 2], polymer systems[3, 4], porous media [5-8], and heterogeneous fluids such as crude oils [9-12]. There has been a growing body of work to extend NMR to other areas of applications, such as material science [13] and the petroleum industry [11, 14—16]. NMR and MRI have been used extensively for research in food science and in production quality control [17-20]. For example, NMR is used to determine moisture content and solid fat fraction [20]. Multi-component analysis techniques, such as chemometrics as used by Brown et al. [21], are often employed to distinguish the components, e.g., oil and water.

For example, if (p is the solids volume fraction entering the pipe at velocity V, and local volume fraction in the pipe where the solid velocity is Vs, a component balance gives... 

If the per os meal consists of liquid and solid components, gastric emptying exhibits a biphasic mechanism. With the exception of emptying of solid particles in MMC phase III, gastric emptying of solids into the duodenum takes place only if these particles are smaller than 1—3 mm in diameter (43,52). These particles are emptied, after a short lag phase, according to linear kinetics, whereas the liquid fraction often exhibits exponential or biphasic-(exponential) release kinetics (53-55). 

The bone cement used in these studies was a two-component system. The liquid component [9.75 mL methyl methacrylate (MMA) 0.25 mL A,A-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMPT) 75 mg/kg hydroquinone] was mixed with a solid component [3.0 g poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) 15.0 g MMA-styrene copolymer benzoyl peroxide, mass fraction 2% 2.0 g BaSOJ to form the cement. Dissolution of the solid component proceeded simultaneously with polymerization once the cement was mixed. 

When we consider the solubility of a solid component in a solvent, the emphasis is placed on obtaining the mole fraction or other composition variable as a function of the temperature. Thus, Equation (10.96) gives the solubility as a function of the temperature in this interpretation. The solubility in an ideal solution is given by... 

The measurements were done in a phase equilibria cell by the synthetic method. The cell has an inner diameter of 25mm, an outer diameter of 80 mm, a saphire window and a movable piston. The volume can be varied from 20 cm3 to 50 cm3.The maximum pressure is 500 bar. First the solid component is filled in and then the cell is evacuated. The liquid carbon dioxide is added from a high pressure cylinder, which can be weighed with an accuracy of 0.1 grams. Figure 2 shows the p-T-dependance of the solubility of paraffin in carbon dioxide for different weight fractions of paraffin. 

Often the liquid and solid are not the same metal and sometimes they are mutually insoluble. When the equilibrium value of the molar fraction of solid component A in a liquid B X < 1, by equalling the chemical potentials of A in the solid and liquid phases, X is related to the regular solution parameter X given by equation (4.3) by ... 

Classical liquid-liquid, liquid-solid and fractional crystillization can also be used before preparative and analytical HPLC to concentrate trace flavor active components. Huang et al. (59) used these classical techniques to isolate a nonvolatile bltter/astringent fraction from soy flour. The bitter fraction was further separated using preparative HPLC. Seven peak fractions were separated and the flavor characteristics of each collected peak determined. The reverse phase analytical separation of the bitter peak fraction produced six well resolved peaks. These peaks were further collected and identified using UV and NMR spectroscopy.
