Faint coating in the municipal wells may (by time) lead to clogging of the pipes, which transport the water to the inhabitants, so treatment is recommended.
In this work, the reasons for the occurrence of tubular reactor clogging in high solids miniemulsion photopolymerization are unveiled, a facile test to predict if a given miniemulsion will lead to clogging in the tubular reactor is proposed, and a reactor design to overcome clogging is presented.
Compared to direct injection of carbonate solution that could lead to clogging near the injection wells due to rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, microbially facilitated calcium carbonate precipitation relies on the production of carbonate via urea hydrolysis, allowing urea to transport further into the subsurface before significant production of carbonate occurs.
Similar to other types of filtration, high concentrations of particulate matter can lead to clogging [ 28].
Layers of protein that form on the outside of particles could lead to clogging and its deposition and adhesion to membrane surfaces may cause fouling (Chan and Chen, 2004).
Although such renal tubules generated in vitro in a gel-free system are very interesting for other applications, such as in vitro nephrotoxicology, their appearance in BAKs would compromise device functions and lead to clogging of the hollow fibers.
It is important to note that many studies have relied on overexpression of tau to investigate its role in axonal transport; however, this can lead to clogging of axons and dramatic reorganization of the neuronal cytoskeleton (37).
It may be concluded that calcium is a significant element participating in the atherosclerosis development and that it cumulates in the intima where it can create lodgments and calcify the plaques, which may lead to clogging of the arteries.
One of the drawbacks of this technology is that the channel depth is limited to ~50 µm due to technological constraints [ 28]; for red blood cells this would be acceptable but for most of the cells studied with the optical stretcher, e.g., cancer cells (~25-µm size), such a channel could lead to clogging by occasional cell clusters.
Excessive nose hair can lead to clogging of the nose and the need to clear it.
Avoid flushing the pad down the toilet as this may lead to clogging.
