✦ Synopsis

Akstract--The capillary suction time (CST) method for measuring the filterability of a suspension is described, and its mode of operation is reviewed and discussed. A radial capillary suction time apparatus, and the filter paper used by it, are investigated in various ways to obtain the capillary suction pressure P, the water porosity e of the filter paper, and the water saturation sw(r) in the filter paper as a function of the radial distance r from the suspension to be filtered. Air is shown to coexist with water in the wetted filter paper, but P and the effective water porosity are shown to be practically constant in the paper as used in the CST method. Measurements are made of the desorptivity S of a bentonite suspension using a conventional constant-pressure filter press, and compared with S obtained from CST measurements.

Following fertilization, the zona pellucida, a glycoprotein shell investing mammalian eggs, becomes more resistant to dissolution by various agents. This decreased solubility, termed zona hardening, does not occur in hamsters. Thus, universal roles of zona hardening in the block to polyspermy and in

The theory of the adsorption pseudocapacitance is extended in order to take account, simultaneously, of interactions between adsorbed particles, and of non-uniformity of the adsorbate. It is shown that the description introduced can be applied either to singly or doubly-peaked experimental records.
