Spent compositions

The plated composite was sectioned and examined for elemental composition. This analysis showed that the zinc coating on the fiber surface was uniform throughout the length and over the cross-section of the composite. The plating process was simple to operate and control, which suggests that the zinc layer could be regenerated in situ on a spent composite by the application of current while flowing zinc chloride solution. 

Distillation. In the case of spent-lye cmde, the composition is ca 80% glycerol, 7% water, 2% organic residue, and less than 10% ash. 

The purified ziac solution is fed to the electrolyte recirculating stream at a rate that holds the composition of the electrolyte constant, commonly ranging from 100—200 g H2SO4 and 45—70 g Zn/L. Continuous monitoring of the density and conductivity of the spent acid aids ia control. This is important siace the range of acidity is narrow for maximum current efficiency at any given current density. 

Dry reduced nickel catalyst protected by fat is the most common catalyst for the hydrogenation of fatty acids. The composition of this type of catalyst is about 25% nickel, 25% inert carrier, and 50% soHd fat. Manufacturers of this catalyst include Calsicat (Mallinckrodt), Harshaw (Engelhard), United Catalysts (Sud Chemie), and Unichema. Other catalysts that stiH have some place in fatty acid hydrogenation are so-called wet reduced nickel catalysts (formate catalysts), Raney nickel catalysts, and precious metal catalysts, primarily palladium on carbon. The spent nickel catalysts are usually sent to a broker who seUs them for recovery of nickel value. Spent palladium catalysts are usually returned to the catalyst suppHer for credit of palladium value. 

Solids. It is with solids that real difficulties over homogeneity arise. Even materials that superficially have every appearance of being homogeneous in fact may have localised concentrations of impurities and vary in composition. The procedure adopted to obtain as representative a sample as possible will depend greatly upon the type of solid. This process is of great importance since, if it is not satisfactorily done, the labour and time spent in making a careful analysis... 

X-ray diffraction analysis of the spent catalyst (Table VI) revealed that the nickel was present only in the metallic state. Chemical analyses demonstrated very little difference in catalyst composition at the gas inlet and outlet.

The above conclusions were also reached in an earlier study by Schiemann Kuhne (Ref 21). Their results, including spent acid compositions, are summarized in Table 7...

The molecules in the system are carried along by the balls and will also have an exponential distribution of residence time, but they are far from perfectly mixed. Molecules that entered together stay together, and the only time they mix with other molecules is at the reactor outlet. The composition within each ball evolves with time spent in the system as though the ball was a small batch reactor. The exit concentration within a ball is the same as that in a batch reactor after reaction time tf,. 

The ester class also comprises natural oils, such as vegetable oil [75] spent sunflower oil [940,941,992,993] and natural fats, for example, sulfonated flsh fat [161]. In water-based mud systems no harmful foams are formed from partially hydrolyzed glycerides of predominantly unsaturated Ci6 to C24 fatty acids. The partial glycerides can be used at low temperatures and are biodegradable and nontoxic [1280]. A composition for high-temperature applications is available [1818]. It is a mixture of long chain polyesters and polyamides. 

Occluded applications Composition relatively invariant in use System size (area) predetermined Specific site prescribed for application Application technique highly reproducible Delivery is sustained Generally operate at unit drug activity, at least operate at steady activity Delivery is zero-order Serum levels related to product efficacy Bioequivalency based on pharmacokinetic (blood level) endpoint Unavoidable local tissue levels consequential only to system toxicity Individual dose interruptable Whole system removed when spent... 

The chemical compositions of materials are usually expressed in terms of simple oxides calculated from elemental analysis determined by x-ray fluorescence. For spent foundry sand, the chemical parameters include bulk oxides mass composition, loss on ignition, and total oxygen demand. Table 4.6 lists the general chemical properties of spend foundry sand. It is shown that spent foundry sand consists primarily of silica dioxide.
