Equilibrium-limited periodic separating reactors
(American Institute of Chemical EngineersWiley Periodiocals, Inc., 1987-08)
A new unit operation is presented that utilizes a rapid feed pressure swing cycle in a bed packed with catalyst and adsorbent to effect both reaction and separation. This hybrid device combines features of a cyclic-steady-state ...
Small angle X-ray scattering from coal-derived liquids
(Elsevier, 1982-05)
Small angle X-ray scattering measurements were used to determine the size and shape of asphaltene and preasphaltene micelles in solution. The fraction of the coal-derived liquids forming micelles in solution was as high ...
Laminar Newtonian jets at high Reynolds number and high surface tension
(American Institute of Chemical EngineersWiley Periodiocals, Inc., 1988-09)
No Abstract.
Effect of gravity on Brownian flocculation
(Elsevier, 1984-09)
In previous analyses of simultaneous Brownian and gravity-induced flocculation, it has been assumed that each mechanism contributes independently to the total flocculation rate. In this paper the rigorous problem of coupled ...
Coagulation in a continuously stirred tank reactor
(Elsevier, 1985-05)
Smoluchowski's coagulation equation with coagulation rates Kij [is proportial to] (ij)[omega] describing the temporal evaluation of the size distribution ck (concentration of k-mers) is studied in the presence of a source ...
The effects of suspended residual solids on the rheology of coal-derived liquids
(Elsevier, 1982-05)
The rheology of the products of coal liquefaction was investigated using a Weissenberg Rheogoniometer, Model R-16, modified to allow total-normal-force measurements. Solvent extracted oils and asphaltene fractions were ...
Dissolution kinetics: Catalysis by salts
(Elsevier, 1981-07)
The dissolution of silicate minerals by hydrofluoric acid has been found to be catalyzed by salts such as NH4Cl, NaCl, and LiCl as well as by strong acids. This catalysis is a strong function of pH and is attributed to the ...
Emulsion stability: Determination from turbidity
(Elsevier, 1981-01)
A novel technique for studying the stability of emulsions has been developed. Owing to the fact that emulsion turbidity is a function of particle concentration and size, the stability of emulsions can be determined by ...
Dynamics of growth of silica particles from ammonia-catalyzed hydrolysis of tetra-ethyl-orthosilicate
(Elsevier, 1988-07)
The NH3-catalyzed formation of colloidal silica particles from tetra-ethyl-orthosilicate (TEOS) in methanol and ethanol is studied by means of light scattering and Raman spectroscopy. We find that the growth is characterized ...
Gravity-induced flocculation
(Elsevier, 1984-09)
In polydisperse colloidal systems, flocculation can occur as a result of the differential creaming rates between small and large particles. As an improvement on earlier work, we have rigorously modelled this process of ...
