HEAT CRYSTALLIZATION [8 records]

Record 1 2013-02-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
CONT

Latent heat release. When molecules go from the liquid phase to the less energetic solid phase, that energy is released from the molecules to the environment. That energy of the phase change is called latent heat. The flask becomes quite warm when the crystallization(freezing) begins.

Key term(s)
  • release of latent heat

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère

Spanish

Record 2 2011-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

The basic physical operations of chemical engineering in a chemical process plant, that is, distillation, fluid transport, heat and mass transfer, evaporation, extraction, drying, crystallization, filtration, mixing, size separation, crushing and grinding, conveying, etc.

CONT

Immobilization of enzyme in favourable circumstances can lead to the use of a chemical engineering "unit operation" approach to a process involving enzymes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
DEF

Combinaison d'un nombre restreint d'opérations physiques telles que broyage, filtration, distillation, absorption, etc. auxquels tout procédé industriel peut se ramener.

CONT

La fermentation terminée, les enzymes doivent être séparées des cellules et du milieu, et traitées de façon à obtenir une préparation commerciale répondant aux critères de pureté et de stabilité souhaités. Ces traitements sont des opérations unitaires simples telles que centrifugation, filtration, évaporation, précipitation, séchage,... Les préparations enzymatiques peuvent être commercialisées sous différentes formes : liquide, concentrée, poudre, lyophilisée, immobilisée, ...

Record 3 2010-10-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sugar Industry
  • Pastries
DEF

A porous material produced by stirring a small quantity of royal icing into sugar syrup boiling at about 280 degrees F (138 degrees C).

OBS

The heat of the syrup causes the air cells in the icing to expand and the water it contains to vaporise thus thoroughly aerating the mixture which then sets on account of the crystallization of the hot syrup and the coagulation of the albumen in the royal icing. When cold, the material is used for cake decoration.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sucrerie (Industrie de l'alimentation)
  • Pâtisserie
DEF

[Sucre] cuit vers 125 degrés Celsius, émulsionné avec de la glace royale, coloré ou non, utilisé notamment pour les socles imitant l'architecture.

Record 4 2007-07-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Semiconductors (Electronics)
  • Physics of Solids
CONT

... the phase of the crystallization process... The seeding device... is removed, so that a heat dissipator can be introduced to bring about a uniform cooling of the area of the surface to be crystallized. The heat dissipator has a cooling face... directed toward the area of the surface to be crystallized and is constructed in the form of a double tube... provided with insulation...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Semi-conducteurs (Électronique)
  • Physique des solides
CONT

Épitaxie en phase liquide [...] La cristallisation sur la surface du substrat en contact avec le liquide est essentiellement contrôlée par les échanges de matière, à l'interface substrat-solution. Elle s'effectue lorsqu'on abaisse la température correspondant à l'équilibre thermochimique avec le substrat. [...] La chute de température peut être linéaire (uniform cooling) [...] ou par paliers (step cooling).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Heat (Physics)
  • Analytical Chemistry
DEF

The amount of heat liberated when crystallization occurs.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chaleur (Physique)
  • Chimie analytique
DEF

Quantité de chaleur dégagée au moment où se produit la cristallisation d'une substance.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Calor (Física)
  • Química analítica
DEF

Incremento de entalpía cuando un mol de una substancia se transforma en su estado cristalino, a presión constante.

Record 6 1996-11-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mineralogy
  • Petrography
  • Vulcanology and Seismology
DEF

An ore body that formed along the contact of a mass of igneous, country, or invaded rock, the ore having been derived wholly, or in part, from the intrusive mass.

CONT

During the crystallization of certain magmas a considerable amount of fluid escapes. This fluid may produce widespread changes near the contacts of magma with the surrounding rocks. Where such changes are caused by heat effects, without addition of material from the magma, the resulting deposits are called contact metamorphic.

OBS

In older literature, [the term "contact-metamorphic" was] used as a syn. of contact-metasomatic and pyrometasomatic.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Minéralogie
  • Pétrographie
  • Volcanologie et sismologie
CONT

[...] certaines roches sont altérées [...] par la pression ou par la chaleur de roches intrusives avoisinantes. [...] Des métaux provenant de la masse intrusive peuvent pénétrer dans les roches ainsi modifiées en quantité suffisante pour former des gîtes minéraux d'une catégorie dite [...] communément «de métamorphisme de contact» [...]

CONT

On [...] trouve [la scheelite] dans les gîtes de métamorphisme de contact, entre granite et roches calcaires (skarns et tactites), et parfois dans des filons hydrothermaux [...]

Record 7 1990-10-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mineralogy
  • Petrography
  • Vulcanology and Seismology
CONT

Contact metasomatic deposits. During the crystallization of certain magmas a considerable amount of fluid escapes. This fluid may produce widespread changes near the contacts of magma with the surrounding rocks. Where such changes are caused by heat effects, without addition of material from the magma, the resulting deposits are called contact metamorphic. If appreciable material is contributed by the magma, the deposits are termed contact metasomatic.

OBS

contact-metasomatic: Said of a rock or mineral that has originated through the process of contact metasomatism.

CONT

Iron-rich skarn deposits ... belong to two main subtypes: (1) those referred to as contact metasomatic or replacement deposits that developed along the margins of igneous intrusions in association with limestone, dolomite, argillaceous sediments and mafic volcanic rocks; and (2) skarns of a stratiform type ....

French

Domaine(s)
  • Minéralogie
  • Pétrographie
  • Volcanologie et sismologie
CONT

phlogopite : (...) Mica fréquent des gîtes métasomatiques de contact avec la calcite, ainsi que dans les pegmatites et dans les roches ignées riches en magnésium et pauvres en fer.

  • Effects of Heat (Energy Transfer)
  • Geological Research and Exploration
CONT

Besides radioactivity and continental drift, there are three other internal sources of heat, namely :-the heat released by exothermic chemical reactions within the crust;-the friction generated in fault;-the latent heat released by the crystallization or solidification of molten rocks on cooling.
