Suspension definition

On the other hand adsorbed hydrogen in the presence of water forms hydrogen ions which can be exchanged for other cations. The reaction is reversed by making the carbon suspension definitely acid, in which case, hydrogen is evolved as a gas. 

What this shows is that, from the definition of off-bottom motion to complete uniformity, the effect of mixer power is much less than from going to on-bottom motion to off-bottom suspension. The initial increase in power causes more and more solids to be in active communication with the liquid and has a much greater mass-transfer rate than that occurring above the power level for off-bottom suspension, in which slip velocity between the particles of fluid is the major contributor (Fig. 18-23). 

Two other methods worth discussing are wet air oxidation and regeneration by steam. Wet oxidation may be defined as a process in which a substance in aqueous solution or suspension is oxidized by oxygen transferred from a gas phase in intimate contact with the liquid phase. The substance may be organic or inorganic in nature. In this broad definition, both the well known oxidation of ferrous salts to ferric salts by exposure of a solution to air at room temperature and the adsorption of oxygen by alkaline pyrogallol in the classical Orsat gas analysis would be considered wet oxidations. 

The retentivity relative to solid particles (e.g., spherical particles of polystyrene of definite size) is found from experiments determining the amount of these particles in the suspension to be filtered before and after the filter media. The retentivity K is determined as follows where g, g" =amounts of solid particles in liquid sample before and after the medium, respectively. 

Colloidal suspensions are, per definition, mixtures of mesoscopic particles and atomic liquids. What happens if there are several different species of particles mixed in the solvent One can invent several different sorts of mixtures small and large particles, differently charged ones, short and long rods, spheres and rods, and many more. Let us look into the literature. One important question when dealing with systems with several components is whether the species can be mixed or whether there exists a miscibility gap where the components macroscopically phase-separate. 

Random copolymer—Distribution of the monomer units does not follow any definite sequence. These are produced in bulk, aqueous, suspension, or emulsion using free radical initiators of the peroxide type or redox systems. 

The flow of compressible and non-compressible liquids, gases, vapors, suspensions, slurries and many other fluid systems has received sufficient study to allow definite evaluation of conditions for a variety of process situations for Newtonian fluids. For the non-Newtonian fluids, considerable data is available. However, its correlation is not as broad in application, due to the significant influence of physical and rheological properties. This presentation is limited to Newtonian systems, except where noted. 

This angle plate gravity separator removes suspensions of solids from a dilute liquid. The unit is more compact than a box-type settler due to the increased capacity achiev ed by the multiple parallel plates. The concept is fairly standard (U.S. Patent 1,458.805—year 1923) but there are variations in some details. For effective operation, the unit must receive the mixture with definite particles having a settling velocity. The units are not totally effective for flocculants or coagulated masses that may have a tendency to be buoyant. 

Discussion. The turbidity of a dilute barium sulphate suspension is difficult to reproduce it is therefore essential to adhere rigidly to the experimental procedure detailed below. The velocity of the precipitation, as well as the concentration of the reactants, must be controlled by adding (after all the other components are present) pure solid barium chloride of definite grain size. The rate of solution of the barium chloride controls the velocity of the reaction. Sodium chloride and hydrochloric acid are added before the precipitation in order to inhibit the growth of microcrystals of barium sulphate the optimum pH is maintained and minimises the effect of variable amounts of other electrolytes present in the sample upon the size of the suspended barium sulphate particles. A glycerol-ethanol solution helps to stabilise the turbidity. The reaction vessel is shaken gently in order to obtain a uniform particle size each vessel should be shaken at the same rate and the same number of times. The unknown must be treated exactly like the standard solution. The interval between the time of precipitation and measurement must be kept constant. 

Since, by definition, the settling velocity of the particles is low in a line suspension, i(s behaviour is not dependent on its direction of flow and, if allowance is made for the hydrostatic pressure, pressure gradients are similar in horizontal and vertical pipelines. 

Sturdy door hinges and drawer suspensions are a necessity, and there is a definite difference between manufacturers here. If a manufacturer has a display of cabinets, the prospective customer should act like a buyer of a used car, slamming doors and yanking open drawers. He should then make a careful examination of the various components and compare them with what he has seen elsewhere. 

When a bead of a gel-type CFP material is in the dry state, for practical purposes it can be considered as a solid material (thus possessing a mass, a volume and a shape). When in the swollen state, a CFP material can be still considered as a solid from the practical point of view, but this circumstance is now an authentic approximation. In fact, physico-chemical analysis reveals that under some circumstances this alleged solid material is rather a very viscous liquid. More precisely, it is a suspension of interconnected polymer chains in the swelling agent. Each swollen CFP bead can be considered as a drop, which can retain a definite shape owing to the existence of the polymer framework. 

Slurry reactors. For three-phase systems the definition of conditions at which (catalyst) particles are in motion is important. Two limiting states with respect to particle behaviour can be distinguished (1) complete suspension, i.e. all particles just move, and (2) uniform suspension, i.e. the particles are evenly distributed over the whole reaction zone. The power required to reach the second state is much higher, while uniform suspension is not often necessary. Circulation of the liquid with the dissolved gas is usually sufficiently fast to provide reactants to the surface of catalyst particles if they are suspended at all. 

Simply put, paper is manufactured by applying a watery suspension of cellulose fibers to a screen that allows the water to drain and leaves the fibrous particles behind in a web. Most modem paper products contain nonfibrous additives, but otherwise they fall within this general definition. Only a few paper products for specialized uses are created without the use of water, using dry forming techniques. The production of pulp is the major source of environmental impacts from the pulp and paper industry. 

The critical gel equation is expected to predict material functions in any small-strain viscoelastic experiment. The definition of small varies from material to material. Venkataraman and Winter [71] explored the strain limit for crosslinking polydimethylsiloxanes and found an upper shear strain of about 2, beyond which the gel started to rupture. For percolating suspensions and physical gels which form a stiff skeleton structure, this strain limit would be orders of magnitude smaller. 

This result can also be applied directly to coarse particle swarms. For fine particle systems, the suspending fluid properties are assumed to be modified by the fines in suspension, which necessitates modifying the fluid properties in the definitions of the Reynolds and Archimedes numbers accordingly. Furthermore, because the particle drag is a direct function of the local relative velocity between the fluid and the solid (the interstitial relative velocity, Fr), it is this velocity that must be used in the drag equations (e.g., the modified Dallavalle equation). Since Vr = Vs/(1 — Reynolds number and drag coefficient for the suspension (e.g., the particle swarm ) are (after Barnea and Mizrahi, 1973) ... 

Since the scattering due to dust is negligible relative to the very large scattering from colloidal suspensions, procedure (b) is inherently attractive. Using the definition of turbidity t and the interrelation between r and R90, the calibration constant of the instrument is given by... 

This treatment leads to the calculation of the condition where all particles larger than a certain size are retained in the centrifuge. Other definitions are sometimes used, such as for example, the size of the particle which will just move half the radial distance from the surface of the liquid to the wall, or the condition when just half of the particles of the specified size will be removed from the suspension. 

Negative adsorption occurs when a charged solid surface faces an ion in an aqueous suspension and the ion is repelled from the surface by Coulomb forces. The Coulomb repulsion produces a region in the aqueous solution that is depleted of the anion and an equivalent region far from the surface that is relatively enriched. Sposito (1984) characterized this macroscopic phenomenon through the definition of the relative surface excess of an anion in a suspension, by...
