All reactions involving catalyst preparations were carried out under an atmosphere of prepurified nitrogen or argon in previously dried equipment. IR spectra were obtained on a Perkin-Elmer model 621 or model 257 spectrometer. The IR cells were of the sealed cavity type (<—- 100//,) with Teflon stoppers. Four types of cell window materials were used As2S3, KBr, Irtran 2, and Ge metal. The spacers were Teflon except for the KBr cell in which lead was used. Analyses were performed by Phillips Research Division. 

For instance, by using the correlations previously developed as referred to an ED cell, equipped with AMV or CMV membranes (Table II) and 0.4-mm thick spacers, it was possible to estimate that, as NaCl concentration increased from 0 to 2 kmol/m3, Z)B was of the order of 1.2 x 10 9 m2/s, the Sh was practically constant and equal to about 22, and km ranged from 53 to 77 (im/s (Fidaleo and Moresi, 2005a). 

Microfiltration units can be configured as plate and frame flat sheet equipment, hollow fiber bundles, or spiral wound modules. The membranes are typically made of synthetic polymers such as Polyethersulfone (PES), Polyamide, Polypropylene, or cellulosic mats. Alternate materials include ceramics, stainless steel, and carbon. Each of these come with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. For instance, ceramic membranes are often recommended for the filtration of larger particles such as cells because of the wider lumen of the channels. However, it has been shown that spiral wound units can also be used for this purpose, provided appropriate spacers are used. 

The conductivity cell is modified from a conventional type. It is made of borosilicate glass, which resists the attack of anhydrous chlorine and bromine trifluorides, and is equipped with two smooth platinum electrodes to minimize electrode corrosive effects. These electrodes are approximately 12x25 mm. in size, held 1.5 mm. apart with borosilicate glass spacers. The arrangement of electrodes and leads is shown in Figure 1. An internal thermocouple well leads from the top of the cell to a point near the electrodes and contains a copper constantan thermocouple. The cell constant is determined by measuring the cell resistance... 

Electrodialysis as a unit operation is determined by several process and equipment design parameters, such as feed flow velocities, cell and spacer construction, stack design etc. These parameters effect the costs of the process directly and also indirectly by means of the limiting current density and the current utilization [33]. 

The precise size of the gap between the optical windows is determined from the number of interference fringes in the spectrum recorded when the thin-layer cell is empty [43]. Panel 13 B shows the transmittance of an empty cell (Wqo = 1) equipped with ZnSe windows and a lO-pm thick Teflon spacer. An interference pattern arises because of the multiple reflections from the internal walls of the cell. The number of interference fringes AN in the frequency range Vi i>2 is related to the cell thickness d in the following fashion [43] ... 

The samples of commercial products were weighted (0.25 g) and dissolved in carbon bisulfide (10 ml). A liquid cell with KBr window was used with a spacer thickness of 0.2 mm The FTIR equipment was a Magna 560 from Nicolet, with 32 scans, in the mid-red 4000 a 400 cm-i. These samples also were characterized by Hi NMR. 

A third type of three component vaccines was constructed in another convergent strategy. On the one hand, a spacer-separated conjugate of a MUCl glycopeptide and a T-cell epitope (P2) from tetanus toxoid was synthesised on solid-phase in one linear run and N-terminally equipped with an acetylated thiol-terminated spacer 54 (see Scheme 15). 

Typically fee concentration of model molecules was about 40 mM, and fee ratio to fee probe acids ranged from 1 2 to 1 5 in carbonyl shift study and 1 1 to 1 3 acid/molecule in hydroxyl peak shift study. The sattples were measured using a liquid cell between two NaCl or KCl windows, and BaF2 in OH shift, equipped wife Teflon spacer. Spectra were analyzed using PE Spectrum 2.0 software. In effort to increase clarity of spectra some were treated wife Fourier Transformation deconvohitioa For two probe acids, SbCls and MesAl quite different procedure was used. Because of precipitation of resin and ketone in contact wife probe instead of liquid cell Perkin-Elma HATR accessory was used to analyze fee precipitate.

A number of surface treating processes reqnire a rinsing fluid, which dissolves salts produced in the process. It is possible to recover more than 80% of the salts in a rinsing fluid using electrodialysis equipment. This electrochemical process is particularly suitable for recovering salts of silver, copper, nickel and zinc. The method involves a large number of electrolytic cells in series. Each cell comprises a cationic membrane and an anionic membrane, with a spacer between each pair of membranes.
