Supported metals drying rate effect

Effect of temperature The effect of temperature on the final metal profile for a two-component system is shown in Figure 16.13. An increase of the drying temperature generates high solvent evaporation rates at the external surface of the support, which results in significant convective flow in the liquid phase, causing an increase... 

The experiments on the kinetics of the exchange reaction clearly support the prediction of two functional binding groups with different reaction rates, the slower one setting in when the uptake has reached 60-70% of its equilibrium value. The metabolic inhibitors had no effect on the metal uptake, in spite of the fact that the samples were apparently alive, since they were dried only at + 25° C and used within 48 hours.
