Porosity total

Porosity of a soil sample is the volume which is occupied by air and water. Mathematically, it is the ratio of volume of pore space to total volume of soil. Porosity is governed by the arrangement or orientation of the solid particles. Total porosity gives an idea only about the total storage capacity of soil for fluids or gases. 

The volume percentage of the total soil bulk not occupied by the solid particles usually it is expressed as 

Wg = Weight of soil solids Vg = Volume of solid = Volume of pores V + V = Total soil volume 

since (% pore space + % solid space) = 100

Air flow/air permeability Measure of the amount of air that flows through a filter - a variable of the degree of contamination, differential pressure, total porosity, and filter area. Expressed in either cubic feet/minute/square foot or liters/minute/square centimeter at a given pressure. 

The competitive adsorption isotherms were determined experimentally for the separation of chiral epoxide enantiomers at 25 °C by the adsorption-desorption method [37]. A mass balance allows the knowledge of the concentration of each component retained in the particle, q, in equilibrium with the feed concentration, < In fact includes both the adsorbed phase concentration and the concentration in the fluid inside pores. This overall retained concentration is used to be consistent with the models presented for the SMB simulations based on homogeneous particles. The bed porosity was taken as = 0.4 since the total porosity was measured as Ej = 0.67 and the particle porosity of microcrystalline cellulose triacetate is p = 0.45 [38]. This procedure provides one point of the adsorption isotherm for each component (Cp q. The determination of the complete isotherm will require a set of experiments using different feed concentrations. To support the measured isotherms, a dynamic method of frontal chromatography is implemented based on the analysis of the response curves to a step change in feed concentration (adsorption) followed by the desorption of the column with pure eluent. It is well known that often the selectivity factor decreases with the increase of the concentration of chiral species and therefore the linear -i- Langmuir competitive isotherm was used ...

The coefficient s increases witfi increasing tortuosity and decreasing porosity. It is independent of pore radius wfien the values of these parameters are constant the decrease in radius r that occurs while the total porosity is kept unchanged will be compensated for by an increase in the number of pores, N. 

The coefficient s shonld be low for separators in electrochemical reactors. It has valnes between 1.1 and 1.6 for simple separators, but for porous diaphragms and swollen membranes it has valnes between 2 and 10. The total porosity shonld be at least 50%, and the separator s pore space shonld be impregnated completely and sufficiently rapidly with the liqnid electrolyte.

If the liquid uniformly passes through all the pores in the soil, then the effective and total porosities are equal. However, if the flow takes place in only a small percentage of the total pore space, for example, through fractures or macropores, the effective porosity will be much lower than the total porosity. Judging the effective porosity is one of the problems in estimating seepage velocities. 

Many of the waste constituents in the leachate are attenuated or retarded by the soil. For example, lead migrates very slowly through soil, whereas chloride and bromide ions migrate very quickly. With no retardation or attenuation, breakthroughs would occur at a c/cG of 0.5-1 pore volume of flow and below. With effective and total porosities being equal, a much delayed breakthrough of chemicals that have been absorbed or attenuated by the soil could be expected. 

The best way to determine effective porosity is to perform a test using a tracer ion that will not be absorbed significantly by the soil, such as chloride or bromide. If the breakthrough occurs in one pore volume of flow, the effective and total porosity is equal. If, instead, the breakthrough occurs at half a pore volume of flow, then the effective porosity is half the total porosity. 

A rather limited range of mesopores in terms of size and volume were observed in the skeletons of polymer monoliths. The porosity of the polymer monolith seems to be lower than that of silica monolith. The total porosity of these monoliths is in the range of 0.61-0.73, whereas interstitial (through-pore) porosity and mesopore porosity are 0.28-0.70 and 0.03-0.24, respectively. In the case of poly(butyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate), the observed porosity is around 0.61-0.71, resulting in permeability 0.15-8.43 x 10 14 m2, whereas the observed porosity of silica monoliths prepared in a capillary is 0.86-0.96 and the permeability is 7-120 x 10 14 m2. Higher permeability will be advantageous for 2D applications, as mentioned later.
