Chemicals interactions

Finally, values of n must be obtained when specific ("chemical") interactions can occur. These are difficult to estimate a priori but reasonable approximations can often be made by choosing a value (Appendix C) for a chemically similar system. [Pg.37]

Raoult s law When a solute is dissolved in a solvent, the vapour pressure of the latter is lowered proportionally to the mole fraction of solute present. Since the lowering of vapour pressure causes an elevation of the boiling point and a depression of the freezing point, Raoult s law also applies and leads to the conclusion that the elevation of boiling point or depression of freezing point is proportional to the weight of the solute and inversely proportional to its molecular weight. Raoult s law is strictly only applicable to ideal solutions since it assumes that there is no chemical interaction between the solute and solvent molecules. [Pg.341]

Selectivity of Membranes Membrane potentials result from a chemical interaction between the analyte and active sites on the membrane s surface. Because the signal depends on a chemical process, most membranes are not selective toward... [Pg.476]

Equation (8.49) accounts only for endothermic mixing. It is not too surprising that we are thus led to associate exothermic values with more specifically chemical interactions between solvent and solute as opposed to the purely physical interactions we have been describing in this approximation. [Pg.527]

Chemical Interaction. Halogens and some phosphoms flame retardants act by chemical interaction. The flame retardant dissociates into radical species that compete with chain propagating and branching steps in the combustion process. [Pg.465]

Alloys suitable for castings that ate to be bonded to porcelain must have expansion coefficients matching those of porcelain as well as soHdus temperatures above that at which the ceramic is fired. These ate composed of gold and palladium and small quantities of other constituents silver, calcium, iron, indium, tin, iridium, rhenium, and rhodium. The readily oxidi2able components increase the bond strength with the porcelain by chemical interaction of the oxidi2ed species with the oxide system of the enamel (see Dental materials). [Pg.384]

Materials that produce harmful effects must come into close stmctural or functional relationship with the tissue or organ they may affect. As a result, they can physically or chemically interact with particular biological components in order to effect the toxic response. [Pg.226]

The two steps in the removal of a particle from the Hquid phase by the filter medium are the transport of the suspended particle to the surface of the medium and interaction with the surface to form a bond strong enough to withstand the hydraulic stresses imposed on it by the passage of water over the surface. The transport step is influenced by such physical factors as concentration of the suspension, medium particle size, medium particle-size distribution, temperature, flow rate, and flow time. These parameters have been considered in various empirical relationships that help predict filter performance based on physical factors only (8,9). Attention has also been placed on the interaction between the particles and the filter surface. The mechanisms postulated are based on adsorption (qv) or specific chemical interactions (10). [Pg.276]

The relinking (14) and self-healing film (3) theories require chemical interaction between the antiozonant and ozonized mbber. The evidence for these interactions is meager (35,36). Overall, there seems to be no clear evidence in the Hterature for PDA derivatives becoming attached to mbber chains as a result of ozone attack. Much fundamental work in this area remains to be done, however. It seems clear at this point that any antiozonant—mbber interaction must be much less important than the scavenging effect of the antiozonant. In summary, the scavenger model is beheved to be the principal mechanism of antiozonant action. Ozone—antiozonant reaction products form a surface film that provides additional protection (37). [Pg.238]

Cross-linked finishes are not permanent in the tme sense of the word however, under optimum conditions the finish can last for the usehil life of the material. Wet abrasion during laundering is probably the principal cause of gradual removal of the finish. In order to retain antistatic protection for extended use, an excess of finish is often appHed The extent of chemical interaction between the durable antistatic agents and the fiber substrates to which they are appHed is not perfectiy understood. Certain oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite bleaches tend to depolymerize and remove some durable antistatic finishes. Some of the durable finishes have also produced undesirable side effects on textile materials, ie, harsh hand, discoloration, and loss of tensile properties. [Pg.294]

Dry Deposition. Dry deposition occurs in two steps the transport of pollutants to the earth s surface, and the physical and chemical interaction between the surface and the pollutant. The first is a fluid mechanical process (see Fluid mechanics), the second is primarily a chemical process, and neither is completely characterized at the present time. The problem is confounded by the interaction between the pollutants and biogenic surfaces where pollutant uptake is enhanced or retarded by plant activity that varies with time (47,48). It is very difficult to measure the depositional flux of pollutants from the atmosphere, though significant advances were made during the 1980s and early 1990s (49,50). [Pg.382]

Grater Wear. Crater wear (Fig. 2a) is caused by a chemical interaction between the rake face of a metal-cutting insert and the hot metal chip flowing over the tool. This interaction may involve diffusion or dissolution of the tool material into the chip. [Pg.443]

Dietary fiber is a mixture of simple and complex polysaccharides and lignin. In intact plant tissue these components are organized into a complex matrix, which is not completely understood. The physical and chemical interactions that sustain this matrix affect its physicochemical properties and probably its physiological effects. Several of the polysaccharides classified as soluble fiber are soluble only after they have been extracted under fairly rigorous conditions. [Pg.69]

Advantages of chromatography for protein separations include the large number of possible chemical interactions resulting from variations in the frequency and distribution of the amino-acid side chains on the surfaces of the proteins, and the availability of a wide array of different adsorption media. Chromatography has high efficiency and selectivity, and adequate scale-up potential. [Pg.2061]

Mechanistic studies to identify how endocrine disrupting chemicals interact with hormone systems are required. Although population effects coupled with biomarkers of exposure are strongly suggestive of endocrine disruption, the effect could be secondary to metabolic toxicity. Establishing mechanisms may avoid the need to make decisions on a weight of evidence approach alone. [Pg.60]

While this chapter is mainly concerned with the chemical interactions between ocean and atmosphere, a few words need to be said about the physical interactions, because of their general importance for climate. The main physical interaction between the ocean and atmosphere occurs through the exchange of heat, water and momentum, although the presence of sea-ice acts to reduce all of these exchanges to a greater or lesser extent. [Pg.14]

Use chemical interaction matrices to identify potential incompatibilities between combinations of materials (not just binary reactions) and interactions with cleaning solvents, heat transfer fluids and other utilities, equipment lubricants, scrubbing media, materials of construction, etc. Implement management of change procedures for changes in design, operation, equipment and chemistry. [Pg.10]

Use chemical interaction matrices to identify potential incompatibilities between chemicals including utilities, solvents and materials of construction... [Pg.11]

Another problem in the construction of tlrese devices, is that materials which do not play a direct part in the operation of the microchip must be introduced to ensure electrical contact between the elecuonic components, and to reduce the possibility of chemical interactions between the device components. The introduction of such materials usually requires an annealing phase in the construction of die device at a temperature as high as 600 K. As a result it is also most probable, especially in the case of the aluminium-silicon interface, that thin films of oxide exist between the various deposited films. Such a layer will act as a banier to inter-diffusion between the layers, and the transport of atoms from one layer to the next will be less than would be indicated by the chemical potential driving force. At pinholes in the AI2O3 layer, aluminium metal can reduce SiOa at isolated spots, and form the pits into the silicon which were observed in early devices. The introduction of a tlrin layer of platinum silicide between the silicon and aluminium layers reduces the pit formation. However, aluminium has a strong affinity for platinum, and so a layer of clrromium is placed between the silicide and aluminium to reduce the invasive interaction of aluminium. [Pg.220]

The materials problems in the construction of microchips are related to both diffusion and chemical interactions between the component layers, as shown above. There is probably a link between drese two properties, since the formation of inter-metallic compounds of medium or high chemical stability frequently leads to tire formation of a compound ban ier in which tire diffusion coefficients of both components are lower than in the pure metals.
