    Notes: Summary Fourteen genotypes of potato were assessed for resistance toAlternaria solani Sor., both in the glasshouse at the Scottish Crop Research Institute in Scotland and in the field in the Negev, Israel. Glasshouse assessments agreed well with field results, identifying the most resistant and susceptible genotypes. The effects on the glasshouse test of plant age, inoculum concentration, and length of time plants were kept damp after inoculation, were examined. The best agreement with field results was shown by plants inoculated at flowering, and the best discrimination between genotypes was achieved by keeping the foliage damp for 24 h after inoculating with a spore suspension containing 2.5×103 spores/ml.

    Notes: Summary Minitubers of cultivars Agria and Liseta were harvested from the same plantlets on three dates. After each harvest, tubers were dried (1 day), cured (13 days) and cold stored at 2 °C in darkness and 80 % RH. Their performance was studied 65, 128, 191, 254, 317, 380, 443, 506 and 569 days after harvest. Minitubers (1–2 g) were planted in pots and grown for 8 weeks in a controlled environment. After 191 days of storage their growth was still extremely poor. In both cultivars, tallest plants and largest leaf areas per plant were observed in plants from tubers from the second and third harvests that had been stored for 317 days. Highest stem numbers, yields (total dry matter, tuber fresh weight) and harvest indices were achieved with 443 days storage with cv. Agria and 569 days storage with cv. Liseta. Tubers from the first harvest behaved slightly differently.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Seed tubers were stored at above optimal temperatures. Mean temperatures varied during test years from 16 to 29.5°C (in 1988–1990 tubers desprouted before planting; in 1991 chitted tubers as in control; Table 1). This procedure of physiological ageing of seed tubers resulted in reduced plant density and lower yield compared to the chitted control in every year of the test period (average of 25 cultivars). The emergence was significantly delayed as compared to the control in all years (Table 2). Assessed for yield, the cultivars Désirée, Sanetta, Astilla and Andra showed a significantly higher degree of tolerance to warm storages (〉80%, when compared to the control) than the cultivars Arkula, Dorisa, Karlena and Koretta (〈25%; Table 3). Between these two extremes there was a large number of intermediate levels of tolerance, a result of fluctuating reactions of various cultivars to changing conditions in the years of the test period (Fig. 1). No correlation could be found between the cultivars' reactions and their maturity group or their sprouting behaviour. There was, however, for each cultivar a significant negative correlation between loss in weight through transpiration and respiration and plant density and yield (r=−0.55 and −0.54; Table 4). Plant density and yield were closely correlated (Table 4). The regressions between loss of plants and reductions in yields show that after seed tuber storage at higher temperatures a reduced yield must be expected even when plant density is not reduced (loss of plant 0%; Fig. 2). With complete stands, the use of physiologically aged seed tubers that were desprouted before planting (1988–1990) resulted in a reduction of yield of 17–20%; when old seeds were chitted as in control a loss in yield of 15% was calculated.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die physiologische Alterung der Pflanzknollen durch Lagerung bei überoptimalen Temperaturen (jahresunterschiedlich 16–29,5°C, 1988–90 vor dem Pflanzen abgekeimt, 1991 vorgekeimt wie Kontrolle) führte im Vergleich zur vorgekeimten Kontrolle im Mittel von 25 Sorten in allen Versuchsjahren zu einer Verminderung der Bestandesdichte und des Ertrages. Eine Gruppe von Sorten erwies sich in allen Jahren als relativ tolerant gegen die Alterung, eine andere als signifikant empfindlicher, dazwischen lag ein breites Mittelfeld mit zum Teil erheblichen Schwankungen in den Jahren. Die Reaktion der Sorten zeigte keine Beziehung zu ihrer Reifegruppe und ihrer Keimintensität, dagegen war die sortentypische Ertragsdepression nicht sehr eng, aber signifikant mit dem Schwund während der Lagerung korreliert.

    Notes: Summary The effect of the moisture level of potting compost at harvest on the susceptibility of tubers of three cultivars to late blight was investigated in the glasshouse in three successive years. Three moisture regimes (dry, moist, wet) were imposed at flowering time, the tubers harvested 3 weeks later and immediately dipped in a zoospore suspension ofPhytophthora infestans. Tubers from dry compost were significantly more susceptible than those from wet or moist compost, which showed similar levels of susceptibility.

    Notes: Summary Cells of seven potato cultivars were selectedin vitro with culture filtrate (CF) ofPhytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary. Regenerated plants were tested for late blight resistance. The aim of the study was to check the efficacy of CF in the selection of potatoes for resistance to late blight and to evaluate the effects of additive factors on general resistance. One selection cycle, applied to a cell culture system, selected cells resistant to toxic metabolites of CF.In vivo screening of clones regenerated from selected cells was done in two steps: on whole plants, assessing foliage late blight, and on detached leaves, assessing single factors of horizontal resistance. In general, the frequency of resistant variants selected with CF did not differ from that of resistant somaclonal variants. Nevertheless, high concentrations of CF in the growth medium seemed to induce an improvement of some partial resistance factors as compared with the source plants.

    Notes: Summary Screening tests to detect resistance to late blight in both foliage and tubers were done on glasshouse-grown seedling progenies in parallel with visual assessments by three experienced potato breeders of the yield and quality of glasshouse-grown tubers of the same progenies. There were large differences between the parents of the progenies in their general combining ability (GCA) for both foliage and tuber blight, despite some variation due to specific combining ability for foliage blight. There were also differences between parents in their GCAs for visual preference scores, but these GCAs and those for blight resistance were not correlated. The blight-resistant cv. Stirling had the best combination of high GCAs for all three attributes. The use of these and other seedling progeny tests in a multitrait genotypic recurrent selection scheme is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Storage losses were studied in minitubers of cvs Agria and Liseta, using five fresh weight classes (〈0.50 g, 0.5–0.99 g, 1.00–1.99 g, 2.00–2.99 g, ≥3.00 g), and three successive harvests of the same plantlets. After each harvest, tubers were dired at room temperature (1 day), curred at 18 °C (13 days) and stored at 2 °C (540 days). Two kinds of storage losses were considered: (a) losses of entire tubers because of deterioration, and (b) fresh weight losses of the other tubers. Both kinds of losses were higher in cv. Liseta, in tubers with lower fresh weights and in tubers from the first harvest. Almost all minitubers ≥0.5 g from later harvests and from both cultivars survived storage for 1.5 years. Deterioration occurred mainly from 6 to 12 months of storage. Tubers which deteriorated during cold storage had already shown high weight losses during curing.

    Notes: Summary A selected clone ofSolanum tuberosum Group Andigena PI 347773 (clone Adg 11.1) and the cultivar Superior had previously been shown to be heterozygous at a gibberellin related dwarfing locus, ga1. Experiments were conducted to test for gametophytic selection for alleles at the ga1 locus in reciprocal crosses and for the effect of genotype on tuber yield. The genotypes of individuals from superior-Adg 11.1 reciprocal F1 families were determined by test crossing. Genotypic classes could be distinguished by the percentages of dwarf seedlings in their test cross progeny. No differences were found in the genotypic distributions of the reciprocal families, which indicates gametophytic selection at this locus is not the cause of reciprocal yield differences. Superior-Adg 11.1 individuals classified by ga1 locus genotype were evaluated for tuber yield. Tuber yields were highly correlated with genotype in both reciprocal families. Yields followed the pattern of simplex〉duplex〉triplex, indicating that the recessive mutant ga1 allele exhibited a dose effect stimulating yield.

    Notes: Summary Dry-matter concentration and dormancy were studied in minitubers of cvs Agria and Liseta, using five fresh weight classes (〈0.50 g, 0.50–0.99 g, 1.00–1.99 g, 2.00–2.99 g and ≥3.00 g) and three successive harvests of the same plantlets. The average dry-matter concentration increased with tuber weight for tubers from the second and third harvests. In minitubers ≥0.5 g, dry-matter concentration was higher in tubers from later harvests. The dormant period (days from harvest to 50% sprouting) was longer in minitubers with lower than higher weights, and longer in tubers from the first harvest than from later harvests. A cold-storage period of 6 weeks, starting 14 days after harvest, reduced the dormant period by an average of 11 days.

    Notes: Summary Amino acids and sugars were removed from slices of potato of the cultivar Record. The slices were then soaked in solutions of the amino acids and various concentrations of glucose to study their effect on the fry colour of crisps. Glutamine was an important amino acid in the development of fry colour intensity at low glucose concentrations and also contributed to the dark fry colour when combined with glucose concentrations above 0.15%. The basic amino acid arginine had a similar but lesser effect and other amino acids used gave the same effect at glucose concentrations above 0.45%. Asparagine could play an important role in the development of fry colour quality and may decrease the grey colour intensity developed by the mixture of amino acids.

    Notes: Summary The formation of above-ground tubers on stem cuttings of eight potato cultivars was studied over three seasons. To promote tuber formation in the leaf axils, stems grown from single node cuttings were exposed to short day conditions. Tuber formation underground was reduced by covering the soil with a plastic sheet and by using single node cuttings planted with the leaf axils several centimetres above the soil surface. With all cultivars except Alpha, which produced mis-shapen tubers in all experiments, an average of 11 (maximum 40) tubers per cutting were harvested. Significant cultivar × year interactions were observed.

    Notes: Summary Two monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) which react specifically with potato virus T (PVT) were produced and tested for cross reactivity with potato viruses (A, S, X, Yo, YN, leaf roll), apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) and against healthy sap. They were found to be highly specific for PVT. These two McAbs form the basis of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of PVT in infected plant material which is of key significance for potato quarantine.

    Notes: Summary The acquisition of potato leafroll virus (PLRV) byMyzus persicae nymphs from the top leaves of potato plants was studied throughout a growing season in relation to the antigen titre in those leaves and the feeding behaviour of the aphid. Secondarily-infected plants of eight potato genotypes with different levels of field resistance served as virus sources. Early in the growing season, plants were efficient sources for virus acquisition. The amount of viral antigen detected inM. persicae nymphs fed on the top leaves was strongly correlated with the titres of viral antigen in these leaves. Virus acquisition from the top leaves of older potato plants was markedly impaired and could not be correlated with their virus titre. With increasing age of the potato plants and the development of virus symptoms, the virus titre in the leaves declined and the initial weak correlation between the virus titre and field resistance ratings disappeared. Thus, screening secondarily-infected potato plants for field resistance to PLRV based on the concentration of viral antigen in leaves or in aphids fed on them should be avoided later in the growing season. The feeding rate ofM. persicae, measured by the number of honeydew droplets excreted, did not account for the reduced uptake of virus from older plants since it was not influenced by the age of the plant. Throughout the growing season, the feeding rate ofM. persicae nymphs on PLRV-infected plants was higher on genotypes with low levels of field resistance to PLRV than on genotypes with high ones.

    Notes: Summary For potato breeding or genetical research purposes, the number of copies of a dominant major gene for resistance to potato virus Y in a parent clone can be determined by test-crossing with a susceptible parent and observing the segregation ratio of resistant to susceptible seedlings in the progeny. In a comparison of different susceptible cultivars for use in test-crosses for this purpose, their progenies differed in the clarity of symptoms and parental phenotype proved an unreliable guide. Cvs Maris Piper, Arran Peak and Dr MacIntosh were found to be suitable tester parents, Pentland Squire less so and cv. Désirée was confirmed as having a major gene conferring incomplete resistance. It was found advisable to test-cross with more than one susceptible parent.

    Notes: Abstract The influence of fertilization on senescence and nutrient remobilization in potato leaves was investigated in two farming systems on a soil with a poor potassium availability. The ‘Conventional’ farming system followed good local practices including industrial products, while in the ‘Bio-Dynamic’ farming system industrial fertilizers and synthetic pesticides were avoided. Potassium concentrations in the dry matter of mature leaves varied over a wide range. Nitrogen compounds (protein, chlorophyll) were less affected, and phosphorus concentrations in the dry matter were similar. Magnesium and potassium concentrations in the leaves were negatively correlated. In both farming systems senescence was advanced in plants with a low nutrient supply. Alkaline pyrophosphatase and aminopeptidase activities (in general highest in expanding and mature leaves) were lower and endopeptidase activities peaked earlier on plots with low fertilizer levels. A high percentage of potassium was remobilized from senescing leaves on unfertilized plots, but the phosphorus concentration remained high at the end of the season. The results suggest that the differential net remobilization of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium depended on actual source/sink relations in the plants.

    Notes: Summary The production of dihaploids is the first step in a potato breeding program at the diploid level. Dihaploid induction ability, dihaploid production ability and seed parent x pollinator interaction were analyzed for 28 × 3, seed parent x pollinator combinations. This is the first report on significant interaction between seed parents and pollinators. Despite this interaction, IVP 101 had a significantly higher dihaploid induction ability than the widely used pollinators IVP 35 and IVP 48. Previous findings on significant differences in dihaploid production ability between seed parents were clearly confirmed.

    Notes: Measurements of surface tension of flame-, plasma- and UV-treated PP-EPDM samples show that all three methods of pretreatment significantly increase the surface tension. The flame or plasma pretreatment increases especially the polar element of surface tension while the UV-treatment enhances the disperse element. The measurements were carried out with a new fully automatic unit for determining contact angles (AURAM).

    Notes: Experimental data are reported for ion exchange equilibria of binary systems on Amberlite IR-120 resin, at different temperatures and total ionic concentrations in aqueous solutions. These systems exhibit non-ideal behaviour in both phases, and the equilibrium characterization has been based on the law of mass action, using Wilson and Meisssner, and Kusik equations to correlate the activity coefficients in the resin and aqueous solutions, respectively. Equilibrium constants, standard thermodynamic properties (Gibbs free enthalpy changes, enthalpy and entropy) and Wilson binary parameters were obtained as functions of temperature.

    Notes: The kinetics of methane oxidative coupling (OCM) was studied using 1 g of Na-Mn2O3 catalyst at 1073 to 1123 K, in an integral flow reactor (I.d. = 10 mm), at atmospheric pressure with methane and oxygen partial pressures of 0.27 and 0.13 bar, respectively, so that the ratio of CH4 to O2 was 2. The flow rate range was 50 to 200 ml/min. the kinetic data were analyzed by the Rideal-redox type of rate equation assuming the methyl radical and active surface oxygen to be the steady-state intermediates. Oxidation and reduction rate constants (Kox, Kred) for methane consumption were calculated from experimental catalysis results by computer simulation using the multiple least squares method. The activation energies at rate constants Kox and Kred for this type of catalyst were reported as 43.26 and 62.2 kcal/mol, respectively.

    Notes: A new set of rate equations for gas desorption has been derived from the laws of thermodynamics and motion and the kinetic theory of gases. The equations assume that gas desorption or absorption originally represents an isothermal change at the interface, similarly to condensation or vaporization. The mass transfer in gas desorption or absorption is initially caused by external work being done on the system and takes place as work done by the system which instantly develops a concentration gradient, increases in internal energy and temperature, and a deviation from the ideal gas behaviour inside MTZ in the process of mass transfer. After cessation of external work, these conditions disappear following the transfer of a small residual mass at a constant velocity and a decrease in internal energy inside the MTZ.

    Notes: Theoretical and experimental investigations were performed with cold water models of bottom-blown metallurgical ladles in order to develop a mathematical description of the mixing processes in such reactors. This analytical model is based on the subdivision of the reactor into interacting subspaces, whereby each subspace is regarded as an ideal mixer. The convective mass transfer between the subspaces is represented by constant coupling coefficients, and the mass balance for the material to be mixed in provides a homogeneous system of differential equations to determine the time dependence of concentration in the individual subspaces. Different combinations of interacting subspaces are represented. The flow field and the distribution of turbulence intensity measured by LDA in water models and the concentration profiles in mercury models measured by EMF cells show that a subdivision into five subspaces is adequate. Size, position and interaction coefficients are also determined by experiments. The calculated mixing times agree well with those measured.

    Notes: Henry's law is often used to correlate the solubility of a gas in water. Such an approach is frequently employed to calculate the solubility of hydrogen sulphide in water. However, Wright and Maass [1] clearly demonstrated that the strict Henry's law did not apply to the solubility of hydrogen sulphide in water. That is, the solubility of hydrogen sulphide is not directly proportional to its partial pressure, even at seemingly low pressures. By accounting for the non-idealities in the vapour phase, Carroll and Mather [2] showed how a simple modification of Henry's law could be used for moderate pressures (up to 1 MPa). In this paper, a further extension of Henry's law is used to model the vapour-liquid equilibrium at higher pressures and temperatures. It is also applied to liquid-liquid and vapour-liquid-liquid equilibria, areas where Henry's law is rarely used.

    Notes: Treatment of a given multicomponent cationic mixture was studied applying the emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) separation technique for Zn recovery. Experimental apparatus and conditions are described. Comparative studies using two zinc-selective ion exchangers (thio-DEHPA and dithio-DEHPA) were carried out whereby the composition of the liquid membrane and the operating conditions were investigated for both extractants. A useful method of representing the concentrations of the feed and the receiving aqueous phase is proposed, which allows the occurrence of break-up and/or osmosis to be easily detected.

    Notes: This contribution presents a method of evaluating electrical conductivities of pure organic liquids. Emphasis is placed on the methodology of selection, correlation and analysis of experimental data. The proposed method brings order out of conflicting, confusing and chaotic experimental observations. It is also shown that the consistent and evaluated data are generated at a fraction of the cost and time required for producing the original raw experimental data.

    Notes: Based on the dispersion model rather than on the conventional pluf-flow model, a method of predicting the transient behaviour of parallel and counterflow heat exchangers is developed, whereby the effects of shell-side flow maldistribution and the finite heat capacities of both fluids, tube bundle and shell are considered. The final solution has been obtained by numerical inversion of the Laplace transform, to determine the transient responses to arbitrary inlet temperature variations. The experiment was carried out in a one pass tube heat exchanger. The comparison between therotical and experimental results is presented and the feasibility of this method is discussed.

    Notes: This contribution reviews the models for equilibrium and kinetics of the system Zn/D2EHPA/n-dodecane (and other diluents), published during the past decade, as well as values of the appropriate model parameters, i.e. of equilibrium and reaction rate constants. The reviewed kinetic models comprise those for kinetic, diffusional and mixed mass transfer regimes. It is shown that, under certain conditions, the rate equation within the kinetic regime has the same mathematical structure as the equations for the overall mass transfer rate within the diffusional and mixed mass transfer regimes. This means that the same equation interprets experimental data from each of the three regimes. Thus, a fit of experimental data to a model is not sufficient for discriminating between the mass transfer regimes. Results of kinetic experiments, using a stirred mass transfer cell with constant interfacial area, are presented.

    Notes: The present work investigates the energy consumption of a solids production process. Such a process consists of three different operation units: crystallization/precipitation, solid-liquid separation by centrifuges or filters and drying of wet crystals. Each unit is analyzed with the objective of minimizing the energy consumption. Operating conditions, process design and other characteristic parameters (crystal size, porosity and physical proporties) are discussed with the aim to evaluate their influence on the process.

    Notes: Power consumption under non-aerated and aerated conditions was measured in a 0.45 m diameter tank containing a range of xanthan gum solutions, using the Scaba 6SRGT impeller. Well-mixed caverns were measured in a transparent Carbopol solution. The data are compared with previous results obtained with a Rushton turbine in the range of Reynolds numbers, Re, between 1 and 2000. In each case, the non-aerated power numbers were similarly related to Re except that the Po values of the Scaba 6SRGT were 3 to 4 times smaller. Under aerated conditions, the aeration rate does not affect the power number, Pog, with the actual value falling as a result of increasing xanthan concentration. The Pog/Po vs Re curve passes through a minimum which is lower at higher xanthan concentrations. At the same Reynolds number, the decline in power consumption of the Scaba agitator due to aeration is 20 to 50% smaller than that observed with a Rushton turbine. Well-mixed cavern shapes and sizes are also very similar to those observed with Rushton turbines and can be predicted from equations available in literature. However, instabilities in torque could present a problem in broths containing xanthan in concentrations above 35 kg m-3. Nevertheless, the Scaba agitator offers an interesting retrofitting possibility for xanthan fermentation, which could lead to improved performance.

    Notes: Large recirculation cyclones with high concentrations of particulate solids have gained considerable importance in the field of circulating fluidized bed technology. To calculate a combustion process, the influence of the cyclone on the circulating quantity of solids and their grain size distribution must be known. Measurements in a 105-MW-plant in 1989 showed that the existing cyclone theory was not sufficient for this purpose. In a laboratory cyclone (900 mm in diameter), the separation and classification of solids in a gas flow was investigated. The cyclone was fed from a fluidized bed and operated with cold air and quartz of various grain size distributions. Based on this experimental device and the theory of momentum transfer between solids and gas flow, a new, more accurate method of calculating the separation efficiency was developed.

    Notes: A kinetic model for the oxidation of phenol in high-pressure water has been developed and compared with experimental data taken from literature. The model assumes a chain reaction propagated by O⋅ and OH⋅. Production of the hydroxyl radical by the reaction of atomic oxygen and water induces a chain-branching effect, which is particularly effective at low temperatures and high pressures. The proposed model gives a fair correlation of the experimental data in the whole examined temperature and pressure range and appears significantly better than a simpler, power-law kinetic model. The relibility of the model is strengthened by the consideration of values obtained for the kinetic parameters (in particular for the activation energies) which compare well with the literature.

    Notes: Interfacial tension of the binary systems pelargonic acid/ethane, pelargonic acid/carbon dioxide, linoleic acid/ethane, and linoleic acid/carbon dioxide was measured at 313, 333, and 353 K and pressures ranging up to 250 bar, using the capillary rise and Du Nouy ring methods. Both these methods yield similar values. The surface excess of supercritical components is deduced from the measurement results with the aid of Gibbs adsorption equation. The surface excess concentration increases with increasing gas activity, runs through a pronounced maximum, later decreasing rapidly to very small values. Near the surface excess maximum, a falling film of fatty acids disintegrates into a mist of tiny droplets.

    Notes: A comparison is made between two different methods using laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy for measuring local concentration fluctuations in the same stirred tank. The first method using a single inert fluorescent tracer yields a segregation index quite different from that determined by the second method, which requires two inert tracers, a fluorescent one and a fluorescence quencher. By recalling the theoretical background, it is demonstrated that the characteristic segregation indices should be equal for the experiments under consideration. According to the discussion, it is likely that the double tracer method gives more reliable results.

    Notes: Using the micromixing concepts of Danckwerts and Zwietering, the Peclet number Pe has been correlated mathematically to the degree of segregation J for the axial dispersion model. The results were applied to compare the micromixing effects on a model, mixed-order parallel reaction system in continuous flow reactors. Axial dispersion model, and Ng and Rippin's two-environment model were used to find the micromixing effects in tubular and stirred tank reactors, respectively. The performance of these reactors, with varying geometries, has been evaluated in terms of overall conversion, selectivity, and yield under identical operating and reaction conditions. The overall conversion increases in a tubular reactor with the increase in J, irrespective of the kinetic orders. However, in a stirred tank reactor, the conversion is found to be micromixing-sensitive, depending on the order of reaction. For m = 1 and n = 2 (case 1), the conversion is fairly insensitive to micromixing effects while it decreases for m = 0.5 and n = 1 (case 2) with increasing J. For the same extent of micromixing, a tubular reactor gives, in both cases, a higher conversion than a stirred tank reactor. The selectivity, in either case, decreases in both reactors with increasing segregation effects. However, in each case, the selectivity of a tubular reactor was fairly close to that of a stirred tank reactor at the same value of J. As far as the yield is concerned, both reactors achieve nearly the same value, without significant micromixing effects.

    Notes: Accurate information on the size distribution of fly ash is needed to determine its role in the radiation transfer process in pulverized coal combustors. The Coulter Multisizer was used to determine the size distribution in the particle diameter range 1-200 μm. To size over such large diameter ranges, data must be obtained using several orifices, and then combined. In order to use the smaller orifices, the larger particles have to be removed from the sample. A wet-sieving apparatus, designed for accurate separation of the particles by size, is described. A scheme for combining data obtained using orifices of different diameters is presented. It appears from this study that the lower limit of size measurement using an orifice is set by sensitivity, rather than by signal/noise. A lognormal distribution function, truncated outside the measurement limits, fits the size distribution data well. This function allows detailed size information to be stored compactly using four parameters. Size parameters for six fly ashes representative of U. S. coals are presented.

    Notes: It is often necessary to estimate the properties of particle size distributions from limited samples taken from large populations. When the distributions are broad, and higher order moments required, as in the case of volume based particle size distributions, the inferred parameters d3,50 (volume median diameter) and GSD (geometric standard deviation) can have high intrinsic errors not immediately obvious to the measuring scientist. We show that there is a critical number of particles, Ncrit, which must be counted or else the error may blow up catastrophically. Ncrit is very sensitive to the width of the distribution, and is approximately proportional to GSD11 We develop formulae to estimate the random sampling error inherent in measured values of the d3,50 and GSD for the log-normal distribution; compare the predictions to a typical experimental particle size measurement; and then generalize to the median of any arbitrary moment, dr, 50.

    Notes: The working principle of the single-fibre reflection (SFR) probe is that light emitted by a laser diode is guided into the measuring volume by the same fibre which receives the proportion of light reflected by the particles in the vicinity of the probe tip and transmits it back to a photosensitive element. In contrast to other configurations of fibre optical probes, the SFR probe is characterized by an unambiguous calibration graph over the entire range of solid volume concentration values. SFR probes have been successfully applied to different kinds of multiphase flow systems, e.g. fluidized beds, pneumatic conveying lines, elutriators and thickeners.A particular question for the interpretation of measurements has always been the effective size of the measuring volume, which is mainly determined by the solid volume concentration. In this paper a simplified mathematical model of the signal generation by backscattering of the emitted light at the particle surfaces is given. The theory takes into account the average optical properties of the solids and their particle size distributions.The particle properties are determined on the basis of this model, which finally delivers the shape, size and depth of the effective measuring volume. For particle sizes between 30 and 120 μm the depth of the measuring volume of a 600-μm fibre probe is between 0.2 mm for solid concentrations near the fixed-bed state and approximately 4 mm for solid volume concentrations as low as 0.1 vol.-%.

    Notes: To produce disperse products, the characterization of the disperse state and a knowledge of the property function are essential. Property functions are applied not only to characterize the quality of an end product, but also to determine the influence of different processing steps on its state. Hence it is necessary to know the property and process functions for quality assurance of the products and for safety of the processes.Good laboratory particle measuring technologies are available for investigating property and process functions. On the basis of these functions, process control takes place. On-line or, better, in-line measuring techniques are necessary to enable the accompanying process information to be obtained.

    Notes: The paper discusses the interest in conventional triaxial tests widely used in soil mechanics for a better understanding of both the mechanical behaviour and flow characteristics of granular bulk materials. It proposes a rheological characterization of granular foodstuffs on diverse types of stress path using a conventional triaxial cell. The characteristic state concept, defining the disaggregation threshold of the granular structure, is found to be suitable and even indispensible for examining the mechanical behaviour and the flowability of stored bulk materials. The experimental results readily suggest, as an indicator of the arching effect, a rheological index that characterizes the particle interlocking breakdown and hence the flowability of the stored materials. In addition, this study offers a realistic physical meaning for parameters in use in constitutive models (yield conditions and flow rules) when describing granular flow in various hopper geometries. The case of silos equipped with vibrating hoppers necessitates additionally the study of the rheological behaviour of materials under cyclic and vibratory loadings in order to analyse the processes of densification or disaggregation conditioning the flowability of the stored materials during emptying operations.

    Notes: The Extended Boundary Condition Method (EBCM), also known as the T-matrix method, is used to compute exactly the scattered intensities from homogeneous isotropic circular cylinders characterized by relative refractive index N, diameter D and length L. The domain of convergence of the method regarding the parameters N, D, L is established. The effect of the geometry of the fiber ends on the scattered intensities is considered. The incident field is assumed to be a linearly polarized plane harmonic wave.

    Notes: A review of existing and developing process tomographic instrumentation suitable for characterising dry and wet particulate systems is presented. Factors governing the selection of sensing techniques appropriate for static and dynamic imaging of a wide range of single and multiphase particulate processes are discussed. The paper presents a systematic comparison of different image reconstruction methods. Examples of existing, developing and proven applications are cited. Future needs and ways in which these needs can be met are suggested, including the use of multi-modality methods in which different types of sensing methods are embodied in a single tomographic instrument.

    Notes: On-line characterization of powder and droplets during gas atomization of molten metals and alloys offers extensive opportunities for real-time process monitoring and control. The capability to make on-line measurements can significantly reduce tedious and costly powder classification, which, currently, is always carried out subsequent to the atomization process. Two laser-based particle sizing instruments, the EPCS (ensemble instrument) and PCSV (single particle instrument), were used during gas atomization of zinc with a double Coanda nozzle configuration. The laser instruments were positioned in the duct leading from the bottom of the atomization tower to the powder collection cyclone. The effect of gas to metal ratio on particle size was studied by varying the atomization gas pressure from 0.69 MPa to 1.03 MPa. Air was used as the atomizing gas for some of the 0.69 MPa runs, while nitrogen was used for all of the higher-pressure runs. Experimental apparatus and procedures for atomization and on-line powder sizing with the EPCS and PCSV are described. EPCS and PCSV measurements, which were compared with standard sieve analyses, indicate that the ensemble instrument is a good candidate for on-line process monitoring and control.

    Notes: A method for the rapid on-line determination of surface area and solids content in flowing concentrated slurries using low field NMR spin-lattice relaxation measurements has been developed and demonstrated. The relationship between flow and spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) of protons in water at 20 MHz was examined using aqueous copper sulfate solutions. The ability to measure surface area and solids concentration in both stagnant (stopped flow) and flowing systems via NMR was demonstrated using several different concentrated aqueous titania and glass slurries (20 to 80 weight percent) for which the dried powder surface area was previously determined via nitrogen adsorption/BET analysis and the solids content determined gravimetrically. Surface areas were also calculated from particle size analysis and found to vary by up to an order of magnitude from the adsorption and NMR results.

    Notes: Aggregates formed from colloidal particles will vary in shape according to the aggregation regime prevalent. Compact structures are formed when the aggregation is slow, whilst loose tenuous structures are formed when rapid (or diffusion limited) aggregation prevails. These structures can be fractal in nature, that is, there is a relationship between porosity and the number of primary particles making up the aggregate, and is described by the fractal dimension, dF. Fractal dimensions of hematite aggregates have been measured experimentally using the static light scattering technique. Fractal dimensions varied with aggregation regimes; for the rapid aggregation regime, dF was found to be 2.8, whilst for conditions in which aggregation was slow (retardation forces prevail), dF's of 2.3 were measured. For conditions which lead to aggregation in which both diffusion and retardation forces play a part, structures with fractal dimensions such that 2.3 〈 dF 〈 2.8 were found.The effects of adsorbed fulvic acid, a naturally occuring organic acid, on the kinetics of hematite aggregation and on the resulting structure of hematite aggregates were also investigated. The study of aggregate structure shows that the fractal dimensions of hematite aggregates which are partially coated with fulvic acid molecules are higher than those obtained with no adsorbed fulvic acid. The scattering exponents obtained from static light scattering experiments of these aggregates range from 2.83 ± 0.08 to 3.42 ± 0.1. The scattering exponents of greater than 3 indicate that the scattering is the result of objects that contains pores which are bounded by surfaces with a fractal structure, and can be related only to surface fractal dimension. The high fractal dimensions are due to restructuring within the aggregates, which only occured at low coverage by the organic acid.

    Notes: This work on imaging of particulate processes using electrical charge tomography uses two basic techniques: the multi-sensing of electrical charge in a cross-section of the flow pipe and a neural network based flow regime identification system to aid in the image reconstruction process.A measurement system, consisting of sixteen sensors, placed at equal distance from each other around the boundary of a circular 100 mm bore pipe, is used to determine the voltage profile of the flow for several artificially produced flow regimes: full, annular, core, half and stratified. A sand flow system is used to produce these different flow regimes, which are created artificially by using baffles of different shapes that obstruct the sand flow.The voltage profile from the sixteen sensors gives spatial information of the flow regime. These profiles are normalised and formed into patterns that are presented to a Kohonen neural network for classification. Two regime classification between clearly distinct regimes gives an accuracy of identification of 85%. Classification of closely similar patterns show much less accuracy of 30%.

    Notes: In-process measurement of particle size and concentration distributions provides continuous analysis and quality control of a product stream.

    Notes: The paper discusses the application of image analysis to multiphase mineral particles. The emphasis is on the development of automatic and routine methods which provide reliable data for the process engineer. Optical systems are discussed briefly, but electron beam instruments are shown to offer many advantages for the identification and discrimination of mineral species. Image capture and analysis procedures are described together with the application of the measured data to aid our understanding of the processing properties of particles of complex structure. Examples are given from studies of beach sands, silver minerals, flyashes, ore characterisation, flotation of base metals, grinding and liberation.

    Notes: The response of the Partec laser backscatter particle size analyzer has been tested under a variety of conditions. Various materials posessing different light scattering characteristics have been examined and the response of the Partec instrument has been evaluated. In particular the system response to transparent particle systems (e.g. oil in water emulsions) tas been studied. It has been found that the Partec laser backscatter instrument provides reasonably accurate and reproducible results when used to characterize opaque, highly reflective particles such as hydrated alumina, but suffers from a lack of sensitivity to fine transparent particles such as oil droplets. The instrument does, however, readily detect the presence of opaque particle contaminants in oil-water emulsions.

    Notes: Concrete quality is influenced to a high degree by the granulometry of the aggregates used. In the construction industry, the grain size coefficient of K-coefficient is used as a quantity for the characterization of granulometry. In practice, this quantity is determined experimentally, and it is therefore a random variable influenced by material heterogeneity and errors in sampling, sample preparation and size analysis. Depending on the final use, in concrete production often an aggregate is required, the grain size coefficient of which can be adjusted to a given value Krequ with a prescribed precision. For this reason, continuous supervision of the aggregate quality is necessary using, e. g., automatic sampling and opto-electronic measuring equipment. In order to determine the optimum conditions for the installation of such equipment, the variances of the possible errors must be established. Further, methods for their restriction are necessary. In this paper, investigations involving hand sampling and hand sieving and on the example of a reference gravel plant are reported. The investigations reveal that, for the materials involved, primary samples of at least 1600 g were necessary, which then could be reduced to 200 g by sample splitting, in order to obtain the accuracy desired.

    Notes: The bulk density of a catalyst bed in two-dimensional reactor model has been measured by a radiogauging method. Three ways of introducing the catalyst were used. Attention was paid to bulk density near the wall and the bottom of the model. A homogeneous distribution of the catalyst was obtained in the case of the “rainy” (uniform) filling method using a grid distributor.

    Notes: Biological processes are becoming increasingly popular in dealing with waste air problems. Compared to chemical and physical treatment methods, they offer several advantages, especially in handling of waste air contaminated with low concentrations of biodegradable organic and, occasionally, inorganic substances. Two types of commercial systems are currently in use: biofilters and bioscrubbers. The aim of our studies was to develop an innovative concept of reactor design and engineering called “biocatalyst” (Biokatalysator). Our biocatalytic three-phase system lies in between the conventional biofilter and bioscrubber, using biomass immobilized on macroporous, tubiform supports installed in parallel to the air flow. In laboratory-scale investigations, a bioreactor was continuously fed with solvent-laden air, which produced a more cost-effective mode of operation than the conventional bioscrubber systems.

    Notes: Approximate as well as reasonably exact numerical solutions of the equation of conservation have previously predicted that sudden heating of a solid surface adjacent to a region of gas will generate a slightly supersonic wave with small positive amplitudes in pressure, temperature and density, and thereby a small mass velocity in the direction of wave propagation. If the gas is confined by a second parallel surface, the wave is predicted to be reflected repeatedly from both surfaces and to decay slowly due to viscous and thermal dispersion. This process, which has been termed thermoacoustic convection, is presumed to result in transient heating of the confined gas and heat transfer through it at rates greatly exceeding that of pure thermal conduction. The current work constitutes the first quantitative experimental confirmation of this behaviour. Numerical solutions obtained for support and guidance of the experimental work define for the first time the conditions required for the generation of a wave of significant strength.

    Notes: Mixing of gas, solids and heat in a commercial FCC regenerator, 5.76 m in diameter, was investigated. This regenerator was operated at a high superficial gas velocity (〉1.2 m/s) and high temperature (650-710°C). It is classified as a highly efficient regenerator. The profiles of coke content in the catalyst, gas composition, temperature and pressure were obtained by sampling and instrumental measurement. It was confirmed that a proposed axial dispersion model could be used for a satisfactory prediction of these experimental profiles. The values of gas and solids dispersion coefficients are also presented.

    Notes: This paper describes preliminary work carried out on the applicability of fractal geometry in describing the products of comminution events.A nickel sulphide ore was subjected to two comminution events, impact shattering and ball milling. Fractal analysis was performed on samples of the resulting comminution products.Two differing fractal populations resulted, with the impact sample exhibiting particles having higher boundary fractal dimensions than the milled sample. The fractal dimension of the impact fragments increased with decreasing size, whereas the milled particles displayed a more complex distribution.The under-fractal distributions, of the two populations of fragments, generate straight lines when plotted on Gaussian probability paper. This leads to the possibility of being able to predict the distribution of fragments, in fractal terms, of a particular material when subjected to comminution.

    Notes: The angular patterns of the polarization ratio were calculated for droplets with diameters between 0.020 and 50 μm at 500 nm wavelength. It was observed that the patterns for droplets slightly smaller than 1 μm were dominated by a backward peak belonging to the glory. The peak was successfully used to characterize aerosols of light and heavy oils with a Junge-like size distribution. Experiments conducted with heavy oil sprays produced by air-assisted atomization presented the same feature. A quantitative comparison of the experimental results with the Lorenz-Mie theory showed that the size distribution of these sprays was bimodal.

    Notes: A scattered light photometer which monitors the particle number concentration of aerosols is described. The photometer measures the scattered light from illuminated submicron particle clouds with known material properties at certain scattering angles. Intensity ratios in combination with the degree of polarization are used to determine the mean particle diameter and the geometric standard deviation of an assumed log-normal particle size distribution. The determination of the particle size distribution is based on an algorithm which compares the measured and calculated (Mie theory) relative intensity quantities described. Furthermore, the particle number concentration is monitored from a single absolute intensity measurement at one scattering angle. In order to obtain quantitative results a spherical particle shape is required.

    Notes: A laser-Doppler instrument has been used to measure the migration velocity of NaCl particles in an electrohydrodynamic flow field of an electrical precipitator. The measured average migration velocity of 1.40-μm particles (number distribution median with a geometric standard devitation of 1.46) is approximately five to six times higher than the calculated steady-state velocity for a 1.40-μm particle, provided there is a saturation charge of at least 90f%. Further, the particle velocities in the main flow direction are also influenced by the electrical operation conditions. Both observations demonstrate the important role of the state of the electrohydrodynamic flow field (superposition of moving gas ions and neutral gas molecules) on the particle transport, characterized by the dimensionless electrohydrodynamic number NEHD. A comparison between six different electrohydrodynamic states revealed that NEHD ≍ 1 is a critical value for the mutual interactions between the gas ions and the neutral gas phase. Whereas for NEHD values 〉 1 the stochastic particle motion is chiefly determined by the nonsteady-state character of the negative corona, for NEHD values 〈 1 the particle velocity fluctuations are governed by the turbulence level of the neutral fluid. These finding might be helpful in adjusting the operating conditions in electrical precipitators for and optimized particle separation.

    Notes: Two undesirable effects occur in particle sizing by dynamic light scattering; statistical noise, and distortion of correlation data. Statistical noise in the correlation data, caused by estimating the autocorrelation of scattered laser light by a time average, leads to non-physical artifacts in the resulting linewidth distribution. These may be removed by regularization, computer modeling, or other techniques. The regularized kernel function for inverting the Laplace transform is calculated, and used to illustrate the problem of noise. Correct choice of the regularization parameter gives the minimum overall error. It is found that excessive error occurs unless the linewidth distribution is modeled over a finite range. Analytical models for the linewidth with finite range, based on the beta distribution of probability theory, are given.Distortion of correlation data may occur in three ways, through a focused or otherwise nonuniform laser beam in the optical system, by insufficient bit resolution in the quantized detection of scattered laser light, or by calculating a first order field autocorrelation from a second order intensity autocorrelation. Unlike noise, distortion cannot be removed by any known methods, since the exact nature of the distortion is unknown. Several examples illustrate how distortion can lead to artifacts in the linewidth distribution which could easily be misinterpreted as segments of a size distribution, not present in the physical sample.

    Notes: Sampling powder flows in industrial grinding circuits are discussed. Work was done with different types of sampler and with different minerals and sampling objectives. It was found that all the samplers showed marked autocorrelation in sample mass for all the minerals ground. Typical autocorrelation could be found at both high (1 · 10-3-15 · 10-3 Hz) and low (1 · 10-4 - 4 · 10-4 Hz) frequencies. Higher frequencies were attributed to powder transport and low frequencies to mill circuit variations. The effects of the found autocorrelation on systematic errors and on industrial sampling schemes are discussed. Systematic sampling produced large errors if operated at sampling intervals that were high-frequency autocorrelation frequencies or small multiples of these. Low-frequency autocorrelation was less detrimental to the sampling results.

    Notes: Laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) is one of the most advanced optical measuring techniques for flow velocities and is widely used in industrial and academic laboratories. Based on numerous applications in the past, there is no doubt that LDA is one of the most accurate flow measuring techniques. However, recent investigations have shown that the period lengths of LDA signal bursts are not as constant as one might expect within the individual burst. This can induce an additional scatter in the signal frequency and in the determination of flow velocity from individual bursts. This paper describes experimental investigations which show qualitatively and quantitatively that the particle passage through the laser beams shortly before the point of intersection, i. e. the LDA measuring volume, yields a distorted LDA fringe pattern. The latter results in a scatter of the measured velocity data for those particles passing the center of the measuring volume at the same time.

    Notes: Various methods are available for reducing or ceasing growth of aggregating suspensions including the addition of highly charged adsorbents (such as gelatin), reduction of ionic strength by dilution, increase in surface charge by alteration in pH and reduction in suspension temperature. The effectiveness of each of these methods in stopping the aggregation of colloidalhematite without altering the aggregate size distribution is examined in this study. Reduction in aggregate temperature is found to be a particularly effective way of stopping the aggregation of hematite while preserving size distribution information.

    Notes: As potential approximation functions for measured two-dimensional distributions, the two-dimensional normal distribution and the two-dimensional log-normal distribution are presented, in addition to mixed forms in which one of the two variables is linearly and the other logarithmically normally distributed. For all four distribution functions, regression curves are calculated, with x being understood as independent and y as dependent variable. The general concept is applied to the specific case of a two-dimensional distribution of particle size x and particle velocity y. In this context, a number of particularities result from the fact that a distinction has to be made between concentration-dependent and flux-dependent measurement.

    Notes: The particle mass loading effect on the flow structure of a two-phase turbulent jet flow was studied. A particle mass loading ratio ranging from 0 to 3.6 was used as the control parameter. The polystyrene solid particles used had nominal diameters of 210 and 780 μm. The flow Reynolds number, which was based on the pipe nozzle diameter and the fluid-phase centerline mean velocity, was 2 × 104 in the current test. A two-color laser Doppler anemometer (LDA), combined with the amplitude discrimination method and the velocity filter method, was employed to measure the mean velocity distributions for the particle and fluid phases, and the turbulent intensities and Reynolds stresses of the flow. The two-phase jet flow field was measured from the initial pipe exit to 90 D downstream. Another one-component He—Ne laser LDA system was also applied to obtain the energy spectra and temporal correlations of the two-phase jet flow.

    Notes: Three-dimensional transport processes of monosized droplets in a turbulent swirling shear layer were investigated experimentally and theoretically. A model experiment was designed that represents the spray dispersion produced by airblast atomizers. Based on the experimental results, a stochastic dispersion model was developed in the frame of a Lagrangian formulation. Comparison with these experimental data for the dispersion of monosized droplets were made and proved to be satisfactory. The analysis of the remaining differences between calculation and measurement emphasized the importance of an accurate description of gas-phase turbulence characteristics.

    Notes: The dehydrocyclization of n-octane and iso-octane to ethyl benzene, and ortho-, para-, and meta-xylenes was investigated on mono- and bifunctional platinum/alumina catalysts in a microcatalytic reactor with hydrogen as carrier at 1.8 atm pressure and between temperatures of 573 and 763 K, using pulse technique. On bifunctional Pt/Al2O3 catalyst, the total conversion of both n-octane and iso-octane was found to start from a high value and decrease with increasing temperature for all pulse volumes investigated. However, iso-octane was found to be more reactive than n-octane. There was only one primary product, namely iso-octane, in the n-octane reaction. As regards the iso-octane reaction, two primary products, ethyl benzene and o-oxylene were identified. For both reactions, these primary products decreased to a minimum as temperatures increased. On monofunctional (non-acidic) Pt/Al2O3, the total conversion of n-octane increased with temperature and passed through a maximum. The primary products of the reaction were ethyl benzene and o-xylene.

    Notes: This paper describes an approach based on the concepts of Pinch Technology for Total Site targeting for fuel and power. If specific CO2 emissions for fuel and power are known, the approach will also target for CO2 emissions for any given site in the industry. The approach takes account of the trade-offs between process fuel and steam, between steam, site fuel and cogeneration, and of fuel mix. A case study is described where an 18% reduction in global CO2 emissions is possible through the correct use of these trade-offs.

    Notes: This article presents a humidification-dehumidification (H.D.) process suitable for desalination of sea- and brackish water. The work correlates performance characteristics of the combination of different components in such a loop. Water yield, energy requirement and design data are evaluated as functions of different parameters. The investigation covered water to air mass ratios ranging from 60 to 80, concentration ratios between 2 and 5, at a temperature difference of between 10 and 16 °C, along the liquid for dehumidification. The results showed that 76% of energy consumed in the humidifier is recovered by condensation. Increase of the concentration ratio to 5 can reduce the make-up water and rejected brine by about 58% and 24% respectively. Cost calculations show that the H.D. process has significant potential as an alternative for small capacity desalination plants and permits to operate systems as small as 10 m3/day in output.

    Notes: The conventional two-bubble-class model for bubble column reactors has been modified to account for interactions between the two bubble classes. It is shown that the modified model is more consistent with the observed residence time distribution in the gas phase than the conventional model. The results indicate that there is an intensive cross-mixing between the bubble phases. This study also reveals that the modified two-bubble-class model cannot be distinguished from the single-bubble-class model solely on the basis of the residence time distribution.

    Notes: This contribution presents a theoretical description of the relationship between the rate of energy dissipation per unit volume and the mean kinetic energy of turbulence per unit volume in a mechanically agitated gas-liquid system. For agitated systems with standard (Rushton) turbine impellers, the effect of the aeration rate on the distribution of the rate of energy dissipation per unit volume in the system was investigated. It follows from the experiments carried out that the gas flow rate significantly affects the rate of energy dissipation per unit volume in the impeller region as well as in the bulk of the agitated batch. In the impeller region, the investigated rate of energy dissipation markedly increases with increasing gas flow rate and, in the remaining part of the agitated batch, it decreases. Moreover, the rate of energy dissipation near the impeller depends strongly on the local gas hold-up which corresponds to the regime of two-phase flow behind the impeller blades (i.e. to the occurrence of clinging of ragged cavities).

    Notes: The effect of recycling on mass transfer, characterized by the volumetric mass transfer coefficient kLa, was investigated by absorbing CO2 into water in a laboratory jet loop reactor. Based on a mathematical model, which includes the correlation function kLa = kLa(rL), a first order chemical reaction and the variation of interfacial area, a = a(εG), caused by strong absorption effects, the interaction ‘recycling - mass transfer - reaction’ was simulated and its influence on the reactor performance is discussed.

    Notes: The octane enhancer methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) can be produced very efficiently from methanol and isobutene in a reactive distillation column where the heterogeneous catalyst also acts as distillation packing. Some mathematical models have been published for the simulation of such a process but they focus on the physical transport processes between the vapour and liquid phases. However, the aim of this paper is to analyze the importance of the internal and external multicomponent mass and heat transfer phenomena on the catalyst under boiling conditions. Therefore, experiments were carried out in a reactive distillation column at different compositions of feed, column pressures and reflux ratios using a Raschig ring shaped acidic ion exchange resin as the catalyst. The temperature and composition of the liquid phase entering and leaving the catalytic column section were measured. These data were used to evaluate the effectiveness factor of the catalyst with a rigorous macrokinetic model. It is shown that the effectiveness factor varies significantly along the column length. Under certain operating conditions, decomposition of MTBE can occur accompanied by boiling processes inside the catalyst macropores.

    Notes: Based on a comprehensive hydrodynamic analysis, a practical definition of the circulating fluidized bed (CFB) regime has been proposed. It was established that two flow regimes are involved in a CFB: fast fluidization and dense phase conveying. By demonstrating the variation of pressure gradient in both the lower and the upper section of the bed versus superficial gas velocity, the criteria for the determination of transition velocities have been obtained. Literature data which over wider operating conditions, particle properties and bed diameters from the basis of the obtained generalized correlations of transition velocities. A quantitative flow diagram is presented.

    Notes: The effects of metal exchange between zeolites and alkali metals (Li, Na, K; zeolite Y, ZSM-5, T), alkaline earths (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba; ZSM-5), transition metals (La, Ce, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Cu, Zn; ZSM-5) and aluminium (ZSM-5) on the conversion of ethanol were studied. Activities of the catalysts and selectivities for ethene, C3+ olefins, paraffins and arenes strongly depended on the cation, chosen for the modification. Only ethene was formed by alkali exchanged zeolites, the most active being Li-Y. This could be confirmed by a long-term ageing test with Li-Y pellets under semi-industrial conditions. The exchange of ZSM-5 with alkaline earths or transition metals permitted the formation of a wide variety of products, raning from high ethene to high aromatic yields. A correlation between certain product selectivities and electronegativity was only possible in a rough approximation.

    Notes: The optimization of a chemical synthesis aims at an adjustment of the operating conditions, i.e. pH, temperature and initial concentrations, in order to obtain maximum yield, minimum operating costs or similar. The optimization effort may be considerable so that, in many cases, its cost cannot be justified, especially for small volume products. This paper introduces a new strategy, namely to establish the optimum operating conditions with a relatively small effort. The new approach is illustrated by the synthesis of 2-furyl oxirane. In the first step, a simplified mechanistic process model has to be determined on the basis of easily accessible experimental data. Initial and final concentrations of all reacting components, reaction time and temperature must be known. A two-step evaluation yields the stoichiometric coefficients of all the occurring reactions as well as the parameters of the Arrhenius model. This so-called trend model is used in the optimization of the operating conditions. It is not only important to know the optimum operating conditions but also to maintain them as close as possible in practical operation. An adaptive controller is well suited to such an application and its use is discussed.

    Notes: In order to predict mass transfer in packed columns, it is necessary to know the interfacial area. The well-known and often cited equation (Onda, Kolev, Zech, etc.) do not yield precise values for the mass transfer coefficient βL ae or the interfacial area ae, especially for modern packing elements. A new model will be presented which takes into account the structure of packing (cylinder model) as well as the structure of the liquid hold-up. This model allows the separation of liquid flow through packings into its main constituents, i.e. rivulets and drops (freely falling). The determination of the structure of liquid flow allows the prediction of effective interfacial areas as well as of volumetric mass transfer coefficients for irrigated large packing elements manufactured from plastics, metals or ceramic. The applicability to novel future packings is one of the advantages of the new model.

    Notes: The use of ozone as initiating agent in the liquid phase oxidation of α-pinene has been investigated. The first intermediate product of the reaction is the hydroperoxide of α-pinene. Both, ozone partial pressure and its initiation time exert an inhibiting effect on the conversion of α-pinene but yield higher selectivities for the hydroperoxide of α-pinene compared with those of oxidation without ozone. In all cases, temperature was found to be the most important variable affecting the oxidation rate. From a mechanism of radical reactions, kinetic equations, consistent with the experimental results, corresponding to α-pinene oxidation rate and net formation rate of its hydroperoxide, were obtained. The rate constants are given as functions of temperature. The results also suggest that a fraction of the hydroperoxy radicals decomposes to yield other products such as verbenol and verbenone, identified in this work, and whose kinetics will be reported in a later paper.

    Notes: Based on the equation for entrainment of a turbulent free jet, a simple method of designing gas and gas-liquid injectors is presented. Using the formula for mass flow ratio of an injector consisting of a nozzle and a short cylindrical mixing tube open at both ends, a general equation for designing any injector with variable geometry and flow resistances is given. The optimization procedure is outlined. Compared to the conventional design of injectors, starting from macroscopic mass and momentum balances, the present method is much simpler, easily applicable and involves only one empirical entrainment coefficient. It is particularly advantageous in the case of variable density of the motive and entrained fluids since the density ratio appears explicitly in the relevant equations.

    Notes: The hydrodynamic behaviour of a cocurrent gas-liquid-solid fluidized bed was studied by using the bed collapse technique. The key parameters, k and x, of the generalized wake model were estimated. Compared with other existing methods for evaluating the parameters k and x, the bed collapse technique shows some distinct advantages. Parameters are derived directly from experiments in a three-dimensional three-phase fluidized bed and there is no need to assume that a bubble and its wake form a perfect sphere. Hold-up data of the three-phase fluidized bed predicted by the generalized wake model with k and x estimated by the bed collapse technique are in good agreement with those obtained via the traditional pressure-drop method.

    Notes: The influence of solids concentration and static mixers on the hydrodynamics of the gas phase was studied for a three-phase fluidized bed bioreactor (air, nutrient solution, biocatalyst Ca alginate beads). Axial gas hold-up profiles, radial gas velocity profiles, mean bubble diameter and gas/liquid interfacial area per unit volume were measured in a bubble column (DR = 0.142 m, HR = 1.748 m). The influence of solids concentration on the gas hold-up is insignificant; static mixers enhance the gas hold-up in the reactor volume element in which they are installed. Axial gas velocity decreases with increasing solids concentration. At high solids concentrations, static mixers exert little influence on the gas phase but, at low concentrations, they do. A model is suggested to describe the influence of solids concentration (characterized by turbulent viscosity vt) and static mixers (characterized by profile parameter n) on the gas velocity profile.

    Notes: Acidianus brierleyi was demonstrated to remove pyritic sulphur from coal. A. brierleyi was also found capable of catalyzing the removal of what is normally reported as organic sulphur from coal 171US34. A kinetic analysis was performed by assuming a first order reaction. The first order kinetics allowed a comparison with literature data for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. Also, formation of jarosite was taken into account in the analysis. The simple first order kinetics was observed to fit the data on removal of sulphur satisfactorily.
