Solid packed crushing

Fig. 3.7.7 (A) NMR frequency spectra of different blood samples. The linewidths were found to be 70, 15 and 10 Hz for packed, crushed erythrocyte and plasma samples, respectively. (B) DDIF (solid line) and inversion recovery (dashed line) spectra obtained for the packed erythrocyte sample.

If you pour the cola at a very slow rate, it won t flow evenly downward through the ice but will run down in only a few places. Such a flow, called channeling, occurs when the gas or liquid flow is much greater at some points than at others. Such channeling is undesirable, for it can substantially reduce interfacial area and hence mass transfer. It is usually minor in crushed solid packing and is minimal in commercially purchased random packing, except at very low liquid flows. 

The following treatment applies to the case where the solids are stationary in a shallow packed bed, so that they can be considered to be in well-mixed conditions, and that the solute initially saturates the solid, as in the case of vegetable oil in crushed seeds. For the quasi--steady-state approximation, Brunner [51] derived a practical equation ... 

In this book we do not intend to cover all the techniques used to establish the characteristics of industrial catalysts at all levels. In particular, monitoring of production requires the checking of mechanical characteristics such as crushing strength, packing density, etc. We are concerned here with the analysis of solids, i.e. determining their components (chemical composition, state of the surface, association of elements, etc.) rather than with characterisation in the broader sense of the term. 

As previously mentioned, GC is a two-phase system that consists primarily of a stationary (solid and/or liquid) and mobile (gas) phase. When a liquid stationary phase is used (GLC), the liquid is immobilized as a thin film supported on a finely divided, inert solid support usually consisting of siliceous earth, crushed firebrick, glass beads, or in some cases, the inner wall of a glass tube. In GSC, the stationary phase is an active adsorbent, such as alumina, silica gel, or carbon, which is tightly packed into a tube. 

To filter off and weigh the Silver Halide. — The beaker is now heated on a wire gauze until the silver halide has settled to the bottom and the supernatant Jiquid is clear. Since the excess of silver nitrate at times packs together with the silver halide to form thick, solid lumps, the precipitate is from time to time crushed... 

Ergun showed that Eq. (7,22) fitted data for spheres, cylinders, and crushed solids over a wide range of flow rates. He also varied the packing density for some materials to verify the (1 — e) /e terra for the viscous loss part of the equation and the (1 — s)/e term for the kinetic-energy part. Note that a small change in e has a very large effect on Ap, which makes it difficult to predict Ap accurately and to reproduce experimental values after a bed is repacked. 

The former (see Figure 13-5) are loaded into the tower in a completely random manner. Generally, the packings used are made for the purpose at hand. However, on occasions crushed solids (stone, gravel etc.) are used. These materials are not as preferable as those in Figure 13-5 because they give a bed which has poor fluid flow characteristics. 

For process engineering purposes, the type of reactor needed for a specific reaction usually determines the shape and texture of catalytic solid materials, which in turn, may influence inter- and intra-particle transport phenomena effecting catalyst performance. Most frequently, packed-fixed-bed, fiuidized-bed, slurry-phase, and membrane reactors are used, which require different particle and pore sizes, shapes, specific surface areas, crushing and abrasion strengths (e.g. pellets, extrudates, spherical and granular particles, powders). Although these aspects play a vital role in the final preparation process for use of the catalysts in a pilot plant and later on in a commercial process plant, they are not discussed in this monograph, which focuses on the catalytic performance of a... 

It has been tested extensively and found to be satisfactory for many solids which pack in different ways, including granular and crushed materials. 

Solid adhesives such as hot melts are relatively easier to handle during packing and storing, whether they are in the form of blocks, in crushed form as granules, as powder in cartons or sacks, or as rolled sheets.

Solid Support—The support for use in the packed column is usually crushed firebrick or diatomaceous earth. Sieve size will depend on the diameter of the column used and liquid-phase loading, and should be such as would give optimum resolution and analysis time. Optimum size ranges cannot be predicted on purely theoretical grounds. For some systems it has been found that a ratio of average particle diameter to column inside diameter of 1 25 will result in minimum retention time and minimum band widths.
