Total wetting

Place 10 g sample into metal dish. Record wet total weight (wtota]).

The density of packing of the particles is of primary importance in considering the behavior of sediments. There are four ways to determine sample volume in practice—(A) wet total volume from a constant volume sampling ring to extract sample cylinders from soft sediments (V,Ring), (B) wet total volume from the gas pycnometer (V,pyJ, (C) dry volume from the gas pycnometer (V pyJ, and (D) volume of sampling tube (V,). The three volume...

Acid Deposition. Acid deposition, the deposition of acids from the atmosphere to the surface of the earth, can be dry or wet. Dry deposition involves acid gases or their precursors or acid particles coming in contact with the earth s surface and thence being retained. The principal species associated with dry acid deposition are S02(g), acid sulfate particles, ie, H2SO4 and NH HSO, and HN02(g). Measurements of dry deposition are quite sparse, however, and usually only speciated as total and total NO3. In general, dry acid deposition is estimated to be a small fraction of the total... 

Given the mechanisms and temperatures, waste combustion systems typically employ higher percentages of excess air, and typically also have lower cross-sectional and volumetric heat release rates than those associated with fossil fuels. Representative combustion conditions are shown in Table 11 for wet wood waste with 50—60% moisture total basis, municipal soHd waste, and RDF.

Only a minor proportion of the total lecithin that is potentially available in the vegetable processing industry is produced. If the phosphoHpids are not to be made into commercial lecithin, they may be left in the cmde oil or, if they are to be separated from the cmde oil as wet gum, they may be mixed into soybean meal for animal feed. 

Concurrent with requirements for low levels of mercurials in discharge water is the problem of their deterrnination. The older methods of wet chemistry are inadequate, and total rehance is placed on instmmental methods. The most popular is atomic absorption spectrophotometry, which rehes on the absorption of light by mercury vapor (4). Solutions of mercury compounds not stabilized with an excess of acid tend to hydrolyze to form yeUow-to-orange basic hydrates. These frequendy absorb onto the walls of containers and may interfere with analytical results when low levels (ppm) of mercury are determined. 

Domestic. Estimates of U.S. uranium resources for reasonably assured resources, estimated additional resources, and speculative resources at costs of 80, 130, and 260/kg of uranium are given in Table 1 (18). These estimates include only conventional uranium resources, which principally include sandstone deposits of the Colorado Plateaus, the Wyoming basins, and the Gulf Coastal Plain of Texas. Marine phosphorite deposits in central Elorida, the western United States, and other areas contain low grade uranium having 30—150 ppm U that can be recovered as a by-product from wet-process phosphoric acid. Because of relatively low uranium prices, on the order of 20.67/kg U (19), in situ leach and by-product plants accounted for 76% of total uranium production in 1992 (20). 

Some slurry processes use continuous stirred tank reactors and relatively heavy solvents (57) these ate employed by such companies as Hoechst, Montedison, Mitsubishi, Dow, and Nissan. In the Hoechst process (Eig. 4), hexane is used as the diluent. Reactors usually operate at 80—90°C and a total pressure of 1—3 MPa (10—30 psi). The solvent, ethylene, catalyst components, and hydrogen are all continuously fed into the reactor. The residence time of catalyst particles in the reactor is two to three hours. The polymer slurry may be transferred into a smaller reactor for post-polymerization. In most cases, molecular weight of polymer is controlled by the addition of hydrogen to both reactors. After the slurry exits the second reactor, the total charge is separated by a centrifuge into a Hquid stream and soHd polymer. The solvent is then steam-stripped from wet polymer, purified, and returned to the main reactor the wet polymer is dried and pelletized. Variations of this process are widely used throughout the world. 

Wet Process. Over 90% of the phosphoric acid produced, both in the United States and worldwide, is wet-process phosphoric acid used almost exclusively for agricultural appHcation as both fertilizers and animal feed supplements. Although constituting a small proportion of the total wet-acid production, a significant amount of phosphoric acid for food and technical appHcations is made by purification of wet-process acid. 

To analy2e fatty amines, both wet and instmmental methods of analysis are used. Wet methods routinely used are total amine value (ASTM Method D2073) combining weight or neutralization equivalent primary, secondary, and tertiary amine content (ASTM Method D2083) moisture, Kad-Fischer (ASTM Method D2072) and iodine value, measure of unsaturation (ASTM Method D2075). These provide important information on physical and chemical characteristics of the amine products used in various appHcation areas (8,76,81). In addition to the ASTM methods available, the American Oil Chemists Society has developed methods of analysis for fatty amines (82). 

Neoprenes. Of the synthetic latices, a type that can be processed similarly to natural mbber latex and is adaptable to dipped product manufacture, is neoprene (polychloroprene). Neoprene latices exhibit poor initial wet gel strength, particularly in coagulant dipped work, but the end products can be made with high gum tensile strength, oil and aUphatic solvent resistance, good aging properties, and flame resistance. There are several types of neoprene latex, available at moderately high (ca 50 wt %) and medium soHds content. Differences in composition between the types include the polymer s microstmcture, eg, gel or sol, the type of stablizer, and the total soHds content (Table 22).
