Subject field(s)
  • Bast Fibres (Textiles)
  • Fibre Crops
CONT

The preliminary mechanical processing of the dried [hemp] stalks involves some fairly vigorous handling of the raw material, including breaking, scutching and the separation of the line fibres from the tow and other by-products. The stronger, more solid fibre bundles keep their original lengths and parallelism. During breaking and scutching the weaker and shorter fibres(tow), especially those at the foot of the stalks, break away and are removed together with the hurds, dust, soil, etc.... The hurds are removed pneumatically and may be sold for use as natural fertiliser, for the heat insulation of buildings, as fuel or as animal litter... The hemp tow is then passed through a conveyer drier that can use either hot or cold air.

CONT

The reasons why water hammer, which can be so troublesome if water is present in a steam line or if steam is present in a hot water line, is apparently absent from pipes transmitting very wet mixtures is rather obscure : it may have something to do with the annular flow of the water, clinging to the pipe walls, rather than with "rivulet" flow when smaller quantities of water are present in a steam line.

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
CONT

Tin is a metal which can combine with other chemicals to form compounds. When tin is combined with chemicals such as chlorine, sulfur, or oxygen, it is called an inorganic tin compound. Inorganic tin compounds are found in small amounts in the earth’s crust. They are present in toothpaste, perfumes, soaps, coloring agents, and dyes. Tin can also combine with carbon-containing materials to form organotin compounds. These compounds are used in making plastics, food packages, plastic pipes, pesticides, paints, wood preservatives, and rodent (rats and mice) repellents. There can be tin metal, as well as inorganic and organic tin compounds in the air, water, and soil near places where they are naturally present in the rocks, mined, manufactured, or used.

CONT

Inorganic tin compounds are used as pigments in the ceramic and textile industry ... The low toxicity of tin and inorganic tin compounds is the result largely of its low absorption, low tissue accumulation, and rapid excretion, primarily in the faeces.

CONT

The air emissions from the hot end coating line consist predominately of particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, organic tins and inorganic tins.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
CONT

[...] certains composés organostanniques pénètrent dans l'environnement, mais on ne saurait dire si c'est parce qu'ils sont utilisés comme pesticides ou à d'autres fins, ou encore s'ils sont produits par la méthylation naturelle de composés inorganiques de l'étain.

CONT

Les composés inorganiques de l'étain sont employés comme pigments dans les industries de la céramique et du textile.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
  • Analytical Chemistry
CONT

Ionization interference is a problem in the analysis of alkali metals, which have the lowest ionization potentials. Ionized atoms have different energy levels from those of neutral atoms and hence the desired signal is decreased. An ionization suppressor is an element added to a sample to decrease the ionization of the analyte. The ionization suppressor is more easily ionized than the sample.

CONT

... too hot a flame causes another type of interference [i. e. ] ionization interference, which is caused when a large proportion of the atoms in the sample become ionized, thus causing them to absorb at a different radiation line.... The interference is usually eliminated by introducing an excess of other metal ions in a flame which is more easily ionizable than the metal which is to be determined.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
  • Chimie analytique
OBS

Lorsqu'un élément est ionisé, il quitte l'état fondamental et de ce fait ne peut plus absorber les photons issus de la lampe et l'absorption diminue. Ce phénomène est fréquent dans le dosage des alcalins-terreux et des alcalins, ainsi que pour certains éléments dosés en flamme chaude (protoxyde d'azote, acétylène). Il est possible de réduire ce type d'interaction en ajoutant à la solution à doser ainsi qu'aux solutions étalons, 1,5 à 2 g/l d'un élément plus ionisable que l'élément à doser.

OBS

interférence au lieu d'interaction : Cette expression est préférable à celle d'«interaction d'ionisation».

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

Venting. When the hot plastic is injected into the mold it displaces air. In a well-built, properly clamped mold without vents, the injection material may compress the air. The heat of compression might burn the material. The force of the compression might open the mold, causing flash. The resistance of the compressed air might prevent the mold from completely filling. These problems are alleviated by used of vents, which are usually ground on the parting line. Their size depends on the nature of the material and the size of the cavity.
