For example, the BBB can be regarded as a biological membrane that is permeable to most lipophilic compounds but not to hydrophilic molecules, and in most cases, these transport criteria apply to both sides of the barrier. Thus, if a lipophilic compound that can enter the brain is converted there to a hydrophilic molecule, one can assume that it will be locked-in it will no longer be able to come out. Targeting is assisted because the same conversion taking place in the rest of the body accelerates peripheral elimination and further contributes to brain targeting. 

In real situations, the question arises frequently as to whether or not a marked influence of heat and mass transfer on the observable reaction rate may be expected under certain reaction conditions. Quite often then, one has to deal with reactions obeying complex kinetics where either none or only a very cumbersome analytical solution is possible based upon the methods described in Section 6.2.3. For such cases a number of useful diagnostic criteria have been developed in the past, either derived from asymptotic solutions of the governing differential equations or from perturbation methods [86], Most of these criteria have been explained in a detailed review by Mears [76]. More recent surveys of diagnostic transport criteria have been given by Butt [12] and by Madon and Boudart [74],... 

The engineering approach to the mass-transfer suggests full analogy between heat and mass-transfer when making use of dimensionless hydrodynamic and transport criteria. For our problems, and with the numerical subscripts to indicate the appropriate standard components of our chemical systems, we have ... 

To the uninitiated, it would seem that all materials offered for transportation are considered hazardous. Obviously, this is not the case, since not all materials transported pose an unreasonable risk to health, safety and property, the basic criteria for regulating a material for transportation. Only liiose materials classified as hazardous under the Department of Transportation criteria are regulated and the degree of restriction which the regulation imposes depends on the kind of hazard or hazards for which the product is classified. 

A summary of intraparticle transport criteria is given in Table 7.2. The most general of the criteria, 5(a) of Table 7.2, ensures the absence of any net effects (combined) of temperature and concentration gradients but does not guarantee that this may not be due to a compensation between heat- and mass-transport rates. (In fact, this is the case when y/f ). It may therefore be the most conservative general policy to see that the separate criteria for isothermality are met, for example, by the combination of 3 and 5(c), or of 3 and 4 in Table 7.2. The presentations of Table 7.2 deal with power-law kinetics only more complicated issues, such as what to do with complex kinetics or reactions involving volume change, have also been treated in the literature and are summarized by Mears [reference 5(b) in Table 7.2].

Transport Criteria in PBRs In laboratory catalytic reactors, basic problems are related to scaling down in order to eliminate all diffusional gradients so that the reactor performance reflects chemical phenomena only [24, 25]. Evaluation of catalyst performance, kinetic modeling, and hence reactor scale-up depend on data that show the steady-state chemical activity and selectivity correctly. The criteria to be satisfied for achieving this goal are defined both at the reactor scale (macroscale) and at the catalyst particle scale (microscale). External and internal transport effects existing around and within catalyst particles distort intrinsic chemical data, and catalyst evaluation based on such data can mislead the decision to be made on an industrial catalyst or generate irrelevant data and felse rate equations in a kinetic study. The elimination of microscale transport effects from experiments on intrinsic kinetics is discussed in detail in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of this chapter.

The extent to which intrinsic kinetics are disguised by transport resistances can be quantified in a precise manner as will be shown in Chapter 4. The relationships for these effects can be used to arrive at various transport criteria that indicate the importance of temperature and concentration gradients. These criteria are summarized here in Table 3.1 so that they can be used for the specification of reaction conditions leading to intrinsic kinetic data. Details are given in Chapter 4. 

The main objectives of waste characterisation are strongly linked to three steps, the storage constraints, the transportation criteria (or scope of this paper) and the respect of the waste acceptance criteria and safety assessment of the disposal concept.
