Sohd state

The general case of two compounds forming a continuous series of solid solutions may now be considered. The components are completely miscible in the sohd state and also in the hquid state. Three different types of curves are known. The most important is that in which the freezing points (or melting points) of all mixtures lie between the freezing points (or melting points) of the pure components. The equilibrium diagram is shown in Fig. 7, 76, 1. The hquidus curve portrays the composition of the hquid phase in equihbrium with sohd, the composition of... [Pg.32]

The theory of sublimation, t.e. the direct conversion from the vapour to the sohd state without the intermediate formation of the liquid state, has been discussed in Section 1,19. The number of compounds which can be purified by sublimation under normal pressure is comparatively small (these include naphthalene, anthracene, benzoic acid, hexachloroethane, camphor, and the quinones). The process does, in general, yield products of high purity, but considerable loss of product may occur. [Pg.154]

The economics of recycling PET are more favorable than recycling HDPE. To iacrease the recycling of HDPE, the separation of bottles made of these two plastics could be omitted and a mixture processed. Coarse, light-colored powders of the two polymers have been prepared by an experimental soHd state shear extmsion pulverization process (55). The powder has been successfully injection molded without pelletization. [Pg.231]

The study of organic semiconductors and conductors is highly iaterdisciplinary, involving the fields of chemistry, soHd-state physics, engineering, and biology. This article provides a treatment of the theoretical aspects of organic semiconductors as well as an overview of recent advances ia the field and the uses of these materials based on their conductive and optical properties.

X-rays are collected and analy2ed in ema in one of two ways. In wds, x-rays are dispersed by Bragg diffraction at a crystal and refocused onto a detector sitting on a Rowland circle. This arrangement is similar to the production of monochromati2ed x-rays for xps described above. In the other approach, edx, x-rays are all collected at the same time in a detector whose output scales with the energy of the x-ray (and hence, Z of the material which produces the x-ray.) Detectors used for ema today are almost exclusively Li-drifted Si soHd-state detectors. [Pg.285]

The introduction of inverter power sources with soHd-state electronic components has resulted in weight and size reductions of up to 75%... [Pg.342]

Solid-State Welding. Sohd-state welding comprises a group of welding processes wherein a bond is made between two base materials upon the apphcation of pressure at a temperature below the soHdus of the base materials (Table 1). Interlayers are sometimes used. By joining materials in the sohd state, many of the difficulties of the fusion processes are avoided. [Pg.344]

Calcination. Calcination involves a low (<1000° C) temperature soHd-state chemical reaction of the raw materials to form the desired final composition and stmcture such as perovskite for BaTiO and PZT. It can be carried out by placing the mixed powders in cmcibles in a batch or continuous kiln. A rotary kiln also can be used for this purpose to process continuously. A sufficiendy uniform temperature has to be provided for the mixed oxides, because the thermal conductivity of powdered materials is always low. [Pg.205]

Eor some uses, higher molecular weight polymer consisting of 150—200 repeat units is required. Such polymer usually is prepared by soHd-state polymerization in which pellets are heated under an inert atmosphere to 200—240°C. The 2G is removed continuously. The rate of polymerization depends on particle size, end group composition, and crystallinity (65). [Pg.328]

Anhydrous aluminum triduotide, A1F., is a white crystalline soHd. Physical properties are Hsted ia Table 2. Aluminum duotide is spatingly soluble ia water (0.4%) and iasoluble ia dilute mineral acids as well as organic acids at ambient temperatures, but when heated with concentrated sulfuric acid, HF is hberated, and with strong alkah solutions, aluminates are formed. A1F. is slowly attacked by fused alkahes with the formation of soluble metal duotides and aluminate. A series of double salts with the duotides of many metals and with ammonium ion can be made by precipitation or by soHd-state reactions. [Pg.141]

Table 1 Hsts some of the physical properties of duoroboric acid. It is a strong acid in water, equal to most mineral acids in strength and has a p p o of —4.9 as compared to —4.3 for nitric acid (9). The duoroborate ion contains a neady tetrahedral boron atom with almost equidistant B—F bonds in the sohd state. Although lattice effects and hydrogen bonding distort the ion, the average B—F distance is 0.138 nm the F—B—F angles are neady the theoretical 109° (10,11). Raman spectra on molten, ie, Hquid NaBF agree with the symmetrical tetrahedral stmcture (12).

It can be seen from Table 1 that there are no individual steps that are exothermic enough to break carbon—carbon bonds except the termination of step 3a of —407.9 kJ/mol (—97.5 kcal/mol). Consequentiy, procedures or conditions that reduce the atomic fluorine concentration or decrease the mobiUty of hydrocarbon radical intermediates, and/or keep them in the soHd state during reaction, are desirable. It is necessary to reduce the reaction rate to the extent that these hydrocarbon radical intermediates have longer lifetimes permitting the advantages of fluorination in individual steps to be achieved experimentally. It has been demonstrated by electron paramagnetic resonance (epr) methods (26) that, with high fluorine dilution, various radicals do indeed have appreciable lifetimes. [Pg.275]

Phenyllithium caimot be formed from fluoroben2ene. Instead, the electronegativity of fluorine makes the ortho hydrogen sufficiently acidic to permit reaction with / -butyUithium in tetrahydrofuran at —50°C to give 2-fluorophenyllithium [348-53-8]. An isomer, 4-fluoropheny11ithium [1493-23-8] was reported to be explosive in the soHd state (167). [Pg.322]

Unlike most crystalline polymers, PVDF exhibits thermodynamic compatibiUty with other polymers (133). Blends of PVDF and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) are compatible over a wide range of blend composition (134,135). SoHd-state nmr studies showed that isotactic PMMA is more miscible with PVDF than atactic and syndiotactic PMMA (136). MiscibiUty of PVDF and poly(alkyl acrylates) depends on a specific interaction between PVDF and oxygen within the acrylate and the effect of this interaction is diminished as the hydrocarbon content of the ester is increased (137). Strong dipolar interactions are important to achieve miscibility with poly(vinyhdene fluoride) (138). PVDF blends are the object of many papers and patents specific blends of PVDF and acryflc copolymers have seen large commercial use. [Pg.387]

At room temperature and atmospheric pressure, 95% of the vapor consists of dimers (13). The properties of the vapor deviate considerably from ideal gas behavior because of the dimeri2ation. In the soHd state, formic acid forms infinite chains consisting of monomers linked by hydrogen bonds (14) ... [Pg.503]

Most of the water is sublimated from the frozen mass by heating the product under reduced pressure. The operating conditions must be such that the product remains in a soHd state while sublimation is taking place. The completion of sublimation can be observed by an increase in product temperature. This increase occurs when the energy being introduced is no longer consumed by the latent heat of sublimation, but is absorbed by the product instead. [Pg.530]

Utdity power distribution grids normally operate at a fixed frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. These frequencies can be utilized directiy for the induction process if the load characteristics are appropriate. If they are not, specific appHcations can be optimized by the use of variable and higher frequencies produced by soHd-state frequency power converters connected between the supply and the load. [Pg.126]

Gold and gold-based alloys ate used for corrosion-resistant equipment. Gold—platinum alloys, 75 Au-25 Pt or 84 Au-15 Pt-1 Rh, ate used as cmcible material for many molten salts (98). Spinnerets for rayon manufacture ate based on the Au—Pt system which exhibits a broad miscibility gap in the soHd state so that the alloys can be age-hardened. Spinneret alloys contain 30—40% or mote platinum modified by small additions of usually rhodium (99). Either gold or gold—platinum alloys ate used in mpture disks for service with corrosive gases (100). [Pg.384]
