Solids initiation

Reduced injectivity due to formation damage can be a significant problem in injection wells. Precipitate formation due to ions present in the injection water contacting counterions in formation fluids, solids initially present in the injection fluid (scaling), bacterial corrosion products, and corrosion products from metal surfaces in the injection system can all reduce permeability near the wellbore (153). The consequent reduced injection rate can result in a lower rate of oil production at offset wells. Dealing with corrosion and bacterial problems, compatibility of ions in the injection water and formation fluids, and filtration can all alleviate formation damage. 

On the other hand, an investigator interested in the fundamental chemistry rather than in the optimisation of the reaction conditions (from the commercial point of view) would naturally refrain from preparing, and then using after a variable storage-time, a solution of aluminium halide in alkyl halide, because the rapid reactions which can occur in such systems at all but the lowest temperatures would obscure largely the true nature of the initiator. For such studies it is necessary to introduce the monomer into a freshly prepared initiator solution, or to introduce into a solution of the monomer the solid initiator or a freshly prepared solution of initiator in a very pure and inert solvent.

The ultimate aim of scientists has always been to be able to see molecules while active. In order to achieve this goal, the microscope should be able to operate under ambient conditions. Further, all kinds of molecular interactions between a solid and its environment (gas or liquid or solid), initially, can take place only via the surface molecules of the interface. It is obvious that, when a solid or liquid interacts with another phase, knowledge of the molecular structures at these interfaces is of interest. The term surface is generally used in the context of gas-liquid or gas-solid phase boundaries, while the term interface is used for liquid-liquid or liquid-solid phases. Furthermore, many fundamental properties of surfaces are characterized by morphology scales of the order of 1 to 20 nm (1 nm = 10-9 m = 10 A (Angstrom = 10-8 cm).

To establish the fundamental laws of the process of the kinetics of particle accumulation in solids, initially the quasicontinuum model of a crystal was studied [107]. A one-dimensional crystal was represented in the form of a segment containing L cells with periodic boundary conditions (the ends of the segment are closed). The simulation was conducted for different dimensions L of the crystals and magnitudes l of the recombination region. The results of the simulation are given in Table 7.2.

Immemorial wetting (which we simply call immersion and denote by subscript imm ) is a process in which the surface of a solid, initially in contact with vacuum or a gas phase, is brought in contact with a liquid without changing the area of the interface. Here, a solid-gas (or solid-vacuum) interface is replaced by a solid-liquid one of the same area. 

The acidic destruction of montmorillonite results in the release of silicon and aluminum. The initial fast exchange of surface cations by hydrogen ions is followed by the release of aluminum and silicon. The dissolution rate of Si is higher than that of A1 and is influenced by the relative ratios of basal siloxane and edge surfaces. The shift of pH to more basic values by the ion-exchange processes and the hydrolysis of dissolved species induce the formation of secondary amorphous solids, initiating the formation of amorphous aluminosilicates (Sondi et al. 2008). 

Heterogeneous polymerizations proceed in two or more phases. Heterogeneity may be caused by the presence of a solid or of a gaseous phase or else the liquid monomer may be dispersed in another liquid with which it does not dissolve. Very important are the systems (a) with a solid initiator and (b) of two practically immiscible liquids. The former is useful for producing stereospecific polymers which are usually formed by a coordination mechanism. The latter makes possible an elegant and efficient removal of the heat of polymerization and it is applied technically with radical polymerizations in suspension or emulsion. 

Mechanical activation of mixtures involves the dispersion of solids and their plastic deformation. These processes cause the generation of defects in solids they also accelerate the migration of defects in the bulk, increase the number of contacts between particles, and renew the contacts. All these factors provide chemical interaction between solids initiated by mechanical loading. These factors are the subject of investigations in one of the fields of solid state chemistry, namely, the mechanochemistry of inorganic substances, which is intensively developed. In particular, a large...

The solute that precipitates from a saturated solution may be different from that of the solid initially dissolved. At room temperature, anhydrous potassium hydroxide, KOH(s), readily dissolves in water. The solid that precipitates from a saturated solution of KOH is the dihydrate, KOH-2 H2O. Therefore, the chemical equilibrium in the saturated solution is... 

Murchison and Allende meteorites contained a substantial number of individual crystalline carbyne grains [21] was almost certainly incorrect. In yet another ultrathin section and acid-resistant residue of the Murchison meteorite C=C functional groups were identified but they were linked to aromatic carbons [61]. The only reliable evidence for carbyne (i.e. chaoite) in meteorites [20] suggests it formed in situ by solid-state carbon annealing that is an acceptable geological process. A tenet of cosmochemistry is that all solids initially formed by condensation from a cooling vapor phase. Whether condensation proceeded at (near) thermodynamic equilibrium, kinetically controlled, metastable equilibrium, or a combination, remains open to debate. Kinetically controlled, metastable condensation is likely for silicates [6,79] and was proposed for carbyne condensation from interstellar polycyanoacetylenes [80]. 

Mordenite and ZSM-5 are synthesized at lower pH values, and it is not surprising that in these conditions silicate species are not usually observed in solution [27,29]. In both cases, the solid initially resembles vitreous silica. In the case of ZSM-5, new vibrations in the solid phase are only observed when ZSM-5 crystals appear [27]. More information concerning the intermediate synthesis steps can be retrieved from mordenite synthesis spectra [29]. In mordenite synthesis, a 495 cm band is observed at an early stage in the spectrum of the solid fraction of the gel. In analogy to what is observed for A and X zeolites, this band is ascribed to 4MR aluminosilicate units. Only at a later stage, broader bands appear at 402 and 465 cm, indicative of the formation of still rather... 

To avoid any contact with the dangerous chemical vinylchloride (cancerogenic) closed-reactor systems became standard and pumpable initiators for automatic dosing were preferred. These can be liquid or solvent-diluted initiators as well as emulsions in water or suspensions of solid initiators in water. The dilution is a safety element to enable proper handling in addition to the fact that most initiators need cooling to avoid decomposition (Table 3).

The input to the combined system occurs on the potentiometric highs in the form of rainfall containing minor amounts of total dissolved solids. Initial changes in water chemistry occur within the soil zone where the water is charged with large amounts of CO2 gas. This C02-rich water percolates into the ground-water system where the C02 attacks the carbonate minerals. This is an irreversible chemical process whereby the C02 in the water reacts with the minerals and brings them into solution. 

In the case of the solids,initial experiments showed that the conventional purification techniques such as recrystallization from solutions do not offer sufficiently pure materials. For example,PMDA samples, after several recrystallizations and vacuum sublimations appear colorless,but show high levels of ionic contaminations when analyzed for inorganic ions. To eliminate this problem,the technique of zone refining as used in semiconductor materials purifications has been used to purify the starting materials. This technique has been applied for a number of organic materials in our laboratory. PMDA for example,when subjected to a simple zone refining process ( as few as 25 zones), shows removal of impurities as high as 3% even if preceded by recrystallization and sublimation. In syntheses of polyamic acids,a variation as small as 3% in stoichiometry can cause considerable variation in the final batch-to-batch synthesis.
