Thermally induced precipitation

Also, the figures contain nephelometric curves for the product t (that is, for p + s, in the proportions formed in the synthesis) and the fraction o, which was also a thermally precipitating product and deposited onto the walls of the reaction vessel in the course of the copolymerization of NVC1 with NVIAz at their initial molar ratio of 85 15 (Table 1). One can see that the precipitation behaviour of the total product t differs, although the amount of the s-fraction is almost the same at 31-33%. Obviously, this depends on the properties of the s-fraction. For instance, the heat-induced precipitation of the sample t formed from the feed with a comonomer molar ratio of 90 10 (Fig. 3b) is suppressed by the presence of its own s-fraction to a markedly lesser extent when compared to the product t obtained at the comonomer molar ratio of 85 15 (Fig. 3a). Most likely, such differences reflect the divergent influence of the s-fractions on the coagulation processes in the thermo-precipitating fractions of the total product t. These differences, for example different surface... 

In the conditions described by the curve ( dew point temperature ), dew or clouds are formed, i.e. the water vapor condenses. If the conditions shown in the part above the curve are achieved, the condensed water vapor falls in the form of precipitation. In the conditions below the curve, water vapor enrichment or a cooling-off may occur without causing any formation of dew or precipitation. Since the air temperature is substantially determined by relief and altitude, these factors also have an impact on the maximum possible water vapor content in the air. In principle, precipitation is formed when air masses cool down, the consequences of which can be either dynamic (orographical and frontal induced precipitation) or thermal (convective induced precipitation) (Fig. 2, [6]). 

Solution condensations are also equilibrium processes, with the reaction often driven by removal of the by-product through distillation, salt formation, or precipitation. Many solution condensations are carried out near room temperature. Solvent entrapment is a problem, but since a reaction may occur under considerably reduced temperatures, compared to the melt process, thermally induced side reactions are minimized. Side reactions with the... 

Like any other protein, the molecular structure of the prion is subject to conformational flexibility and to various thermal-induced fluctuations between varying conformational states. However, if these fluctuations permit the PrP conformation to be attained, then this abnormal conformer promotes the widespread conversion of PrP to PrP , leading to the precipitous deposition of the abnormal protein throughout the brain (mirrored by the rapid and relentlessly downhill clinical course). This pathological self-propagating shape conversion of a-helical PrP to P-sheet PrP may in principle be initiated by a seed PrP molecule in the neurotoxic conformation. This explains the transmissibility of prion diseases and accounts for how susceptible humans exposed to beef from an animal with mad cow disease develop variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. 

The reverse of this process, in which the same quantity of heat is added to the aqueous solution with spontaneous re-emergence (precipitation) of the salt crystal, is also fully compliant with the first law. However, such thermally induced reverse solvation has never been observed. 

Several limitations hamper the development of efficient systems for cartridge catalysts based on the more conventional regulated systems (1) Thermal and/ or chemical stress can lead to deactivation of the organometallic catalyst (2) Additives used to induce precipitation may accumulate in the catalyst... 

Asymmetric membranes are usually produced by phase inversion techniques. In these techniques, an initially homogeneous polymer solution becomes thermodynamically unstable due to different external effects and the phase separates into polymer-lean and polymer-rich phases. The polymer-rich phase forms the matrix of the membrane, while the polymer-lean phase, rich in solvents and nonsolvents, fills the pores. Four main techniques exist to induce phase inversion and thus to prepare asymmetric porous membranes [85] (a) thermally induced phase separation (TIPS), (b) immersion precipitation (wet casting), (c) vapor-induced phase separation (VIPS), and (d) dry (air) casting. 

Nearly all of the treatment processes in which fluids are injected into oil wells to increase or restore the levels of production make use of surface-active agents (surfactant) in some of their various applications, e.g., surface tension reduction, formation and stabilization of foam, anti-sludging, prevention of emulsification, and mobility control for gases or steam injection. The question that sometimes arises is whether the level of surfactant added to the injection fluids is sufficient to ensure that enough surfactant reaches the region of treatment. Some of the mechanisms which may reduce the surfactant concentration in the fluid are precipitation with other components of the fluid, thermally induced partition into the various coexisting phases in an oil-well treatment, and adsorption onto the reservoir walls or mineral... 

Luis prepared polymeric monoliths 17 containing TADDOL subunits [13] these were synthesized with a thermally induced radical soluhon polymerization of a mixture containing TADDOL monomer, styrene and DVB, using toluene/1-dodecanol as the precipitating porogenic mixture and azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the radical inilialor. The polymer-supported Ti-TADDOLates generated from 17 and Ti(OiPr)4 were then used for the asymmetric alkylation of benzaldehyde to give 1-phenylethanol in 60% yield and 99% ee [13]. 

By carefully selecting the thermal and mechanical history of a material, it is possible to tailor a number of different features of that material. Low-temperature anneals can induce precipitate reactions that increase the yield stress. Cold working changes the dislocation density, and this too alters the yield stress. If the material...
