Specific gravity component

Basic Requirements for Spiral Concentration Minerals or materials of different specific gravity can usually be concentrated on spirals if the heavy particles do not exceed 10 mesh (2 mm) or are not finer than 200 mesh (0.074 mm). The size of the low-specific-gravity component is not critical when the values to be recovered are in the heavier-particle fraction. In this case the size of the light particles may range from 4 mesh (4.76 mm) to zero. The quantity of locked grain components (referred to as middlings in the mineral industry) that are present in a given pulp can be critical because this material is fre-... 

In this manner, the KuQp of a petroieum cut can be calcuiated quickly from readily avkilable data, i. e., the specific gravity and the distillation curve. The A //np value is between 10 and 13 and defines the chemical nature of the cut as it will for the pure components. The characterization factor is extremely Va luable and widely used in refining although the discriminatory character of the Kuqp is less than that obtained by more modern physical methods described in 3.2 and 3.3. 

Group the component in a petroleum fraction, which is possible if the normal boiling temperature and the standard specific gravity are known. This method gives correct results when the chemical structure is simple as in the case of a paraffin or naphthene. 

Calculation of the atmospheric TBP is rapid if it can be assumed that this distillation is ideal (which is not always the case in reality). It is only necessary to arrange the components in order of increasing boiling points and to accumulate the volumes determined by using the standard specific gravity. 

Numerous methods for the deterrnination of monomer purity, including procedures for the deterrnination of saponification equivalent and bromine number, specific gravity, refractive index, and color, are available from manufacturers (68—70). Concentrations of minor components are deterrnined by iodimetry or colorimetry for HQ or MEHQ, by the Kad-Eisher method for water, and by turbidity measurements for trace amounts of polymer.

Copper is frequently a main impurity ia blast-furnace charges, and its limited solubiUty ia molten lead as copper sulfide requires that the excess be removed by chemical reaction with components of the charge. For this reason enough sulfur is left ia the siater to form a copper sulfide matte layer having a specific gravity of 5.2. 

Natural Ethoxylated Fats, Oils, and Waxes. Castor oil (qv) is a triglyceride high in ticinoleic esters. Ethoxylation in the presence of an alkaline catalyst to a polyoxyethylene content of 60—70 wt % yields water-soluble surfactants (Table 20). Because alkaline catalysts also effect transestenfication, ethoxylated castor oil surfactants are complex mixtures with components resulting from transesterrfication and subsequent ethoxylation at the available hydroxyl groups. The ethoxylates are pale amber Hquids of specific gravity just above 1.0 at room temperature. They are hydrophilic emulsifiers, dispersants, lubricants, and solubilizers used as textile additives and finishing agents, as well as in paper (qv) and leather (qv) manufacture. 

Table 1 shows the various physical properties for components of eggs (4). Specific gravity of whites, yolks, and whole egg is the same, ie, density is 1035 kg/m (64.6 Ib/ft = 8.63 Ib/gal) for all three types of egg products shown. The viscosity of blended Hquid egg components varies over a wide range of temperatures at temperatures higher than those indicated in Table 1, the protein starts to denature and coagulate, increasing viscosity. 

When simple Hquids like naphtha are cracked, it may be possible to determine the feed components by gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (gc/ms) (30). However, when gas oil is cracked, complete analysis of the feed may not be possible. Therefore, some simple definitions are used to characterize the feed. When available, paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics (PONA) content serves as a key property. When PONA is not available, the Bureau of Mines Correlation Index (BMCI) is used. Other properties like specific gravity, ASTM distillation, viscosity, refractive index. Conradson Carbon, and Bromine Number are also used to characterize the feed. In recent years even nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been...

Principle of Operation Spiral concentration of ores and industrial materials is based primarily on the specific-gravity differentials of the materials to be separated. The shape facdor of the feed material is also important, and utilization of reagentized feed can change the apparent specific gravity of component minerals by forced attachment of air bubbles to mineral floes. The best known spiral-type concentrator is the Humphreys spiral concentrator, which first proved its commercial feasibihty in 1943. In that year an Oregon plant successfully... 

Beneficiation Ball and pebble mills, batch or continuous, offer considerable opportunity for combining a number of processing steps that include grinding [Underwood, Jnd. Eng. Chem., 30, 905 (1938)]. Mills followed by air classifiers can sei ve to separate components of mixtures because of differences in specific gravity and...
