E-raamat: Preparation of Dispersions in Liquids

This work details the preparation of dispersions in liquids. It sets out to bridge the gap in information for the chemist who is not applications oriented and the chemical engineer who needs to solve problems in the field based on theoretical methods of dispersions of solids, liquids and gases. Insights are provided into many topics, including the transportation and handling of finely divided soils or highly viscous liquids; the reactions between reactants dissolved in immiscible phases; the formation of porous materials; and filtration.

A summary of colloid chemistry detailing the preparation of dispersions in liquids, bridging the gap between chemists who are not applications oriented and chemical engineers who need to solve problems in the field based on theoretical models of dispersions of solids, liquids, and gases. After an introductory section reviewing basics such as interfaces between phases and thin liquid films, details dispersions of solids, liquids, gases, and foams, and illustrates methods for preparation of dispersions of a solid in a liquid and of liquid/liquid dispersions. Discusses dispersion by electric discharges, droplet behavior, and transportation of divided soils and highly viscous liquids. Includes b&w diagrams and photos. For chemical, biochemical, and mining engineers, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
