The thermodynamics of capillary condensation and thin film adsorption are first exposed along with all the relevant notions. The focus is then shifted to the modelling of capillary forces, to their measurements techniques (including SFA, AFM and crack tips) and to their influence on AFM imaging techniques as well as on the static and dynamic friction properties of solids (including granular heaps and sliding nanocontacts). A great attention is spent in investigating the delicate role of the surface roughness and all the difficulties involved in the reduction of the probe size to nanometric dimensions. Another major consequence of capillary condensation in nanosystems is the activation of several chemical and corrosive processes that can significantly alter the surface properties, such as dissolution/redeposition of solid materials and stress-corrosion arXiv:0910.4626v1 [physics.flu-dyn] 24 Oct 2009 crack propagation.

  • Overview of Main Techniques Used for Membrane Characterization
    Journal of ChemicalBartosz Technology Tylkowski, and Iren Metallurgy, Tsibranska 50, 1, 2015, 3-12 OVERVIEW OF MAIN TECHNIQUES USED FOR MEMBRANE CHARACTERIZATION Bartosz Tylkowski 1,2, Iren Tsibranska 2 1Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Received 01 October 2014 Departament de Enginyeria Química, Accepted 04 December 2014 Av. Països Catalans, 26 - 43007 Tarragona, Spain E-mail: [email protected] 2Institute of Chemical Engineering, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria ABSTRACT The main force of membrane technology is the fact that it works without the addition of chemicals, with relatively low energy consumption and easy and well-arranged process conductions in a compact module design. Although a good num- ber of articles and books are available on membrane separation processes, many of which are of excellent quality within their scope, most of them present research-oriented approaches of higher levels, thus making them good references in the specific field of recent membrane processes applications. This publication is focused particularly on the main techniques used for membrane characterization with supporting review of the literature and comparative discussion. Keywords: porous membrane characterization, active pore size, pore size distribution, charaterization techniques. INTRODUCTION mainly give information on membrane morphology and structure, chemical and physical properties. The dynamic Membrane technologies have been established as techniques are of fundamental importance when inves- an effective and commercially attractive option for tigating membrane performance. Some characterisation separation and purification processes in the chemical techniques are destructive for the membrane, while the and its allied industries dealing with fuel cell [1, 2], non-destructive ones are applied also to monitor the gas separation [3], food chemistry [4], pharmaceutical membrane performance during its use.

  • 2 Liquid Surfaces 2.1 Microscopic Picture of the Liquid Surface
    2 Liquid surfaces 2.1 Microscopic picture of the liquid surface A surface is not an infinitesimal sharp boundary in the direction of its normal, but it has a certain thickness. For example, if we consider the density p normal to the'surface (Fig. 2.1), we can observe that, within a few molecules, the density decreases from that of the bulk liquid to that of its vapor [11]. k (a) (b) Interfacial bulk density region , - - , A IN, k Liquid 1 V f Gas phase \ phase >^ 0.4- 0.2- 1.0 1.5 2.0 3.0 Distance Distance (nm) Figure 2.1: Density of a liquid versus the coordinate normal to its surface: (a) is a schematic plot; (b) results from molecular dynamics simulations of a n-tridecane (Ci3H28) at 27°C adapted from Ref. [12]. Tridecane is practically not volatile. For this reason the density in the vapor phase is negligible. The density is only one criterion to define the thickness of an interface. Another possible parameter is the orientation of the molecules. For example, water molecules at the surface prefer to be oriented with their negative sides "out" towards the vapor phase. This orientation fades with increasing distance from the surface. At a distance of 1-2 nm the molecules are again randomly oriented. Which thickness do we have to use? This depends on the relevant parameter. If we are for instance, interested in the density of a water surface, a realistic thickness is in the order of 1 nm. Let us assume that a salt is dissolved in the water.
