  2. Lactose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose

    Lactose, or milk sugar, is a disaccharide composed of galactose and glucose and has the molecular formula C 12 H 22 O 11.Lactose makes up around 2–8% of milk (by mass). The name comes from lact (gen. lactis), the Latin word for milk, plus the suffix -ose used to name sugars.

  3. List of gasoline additives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gasoline_additives

    Fuel additives in the United States are regulated under section 211 of the Clean Air Act (as amended in January 1995). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires the registration of all fuel additives which are commercially distributed for use in highway motor vehicles in the United States, [8] and may require testing and ban harmful additives.

  4. Degassing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degassing

    The solubility of gas obeys Henry's law, that is, the amount of a dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure. Therefore, placing a solution under reduced pressure makes the dissolved gas less soluble. Sonication and stirring under reduced pressure can usually enhance the efficiency.

  5. Sparging (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparging_(chemistry)

    Sparging introduces a gas that has little or no partial pressure of the gas(es) to be removed, and increases the area of the gas-liquid interface, which encourages some of the dissolved gas(es) to diffuse into the sparging gas before the sparging gas escapes from the liquid. Many sparging processes, such as solvent removal, use air as the ...

  6. Dissolved gas flotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolved_gas_flotation

    The impeller in a DGF pump is designed with dual sides. One side is designed to drive the liquid like a normal centrifugal pump and the other side is designed to draw vapor into the pump and mix it with the liquid. In addition to the new impeller, a special seal was invented to extend the life of the pump.

  7. Gasoline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline

    The fuel-characteristics of a particular gasoline-blend, which will resist igniting too early are measured as the octane rating of the fuel blend. Gasoline blends with stable octane ratings are produced in several fuel-grades for various types of motors. A low octane rated fuel may cause engine knocking and reduced efficiency in reciprocating ...

  8. Acetylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylene

    Approximately 20% of acetylene is supplied by the industrial gases industry for oxyacetylene gas welding and cutting due to the high temperature of the flame. Combustion of acetylene with oxygen produces a flame of over 3,600 K (3,330 °C; 6,020 °F), releasing 11.8 kJ/g. Oxygen with acetylene is the hottest burning common gas mixture. [32]

  9. Fuel system icing inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_System_Icing_Inhibitor

    Fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) is an additive to aviation fuels that prevents the formation of ice in fuel lines. FSII is sometimes referred to by the registered, genericized trademark Prist. Jet fuel can contain a small amount of dissolved water that does not appear in droplet form. As an aircraft gains altitude, the temperature drops and ...
