They suggested a combination of mechanisms including surface charge change and mineral dissolution, the former being the most effective and the latter having a positive but insignificant effect.
It is shown that there are five classes of mechanisms, including surface vertical cracks, opening interface cracks, sliding interface cracks, substrate deformation and macroscopic cleavage or spallation.
The kinetic BAC-model, based on fundamental mechanisms, including surface diffusion, liquid-film mass transfer, Monod kinetics, growth of biofilm and suspended cells as well as shear loss of biofilm, was developed to describe the performance of biofilm attached on activated carbon in the azo-dye treatment process.
The model treats multiple concurrent physical processes, i.e., rigid-body translation and rotation of powder particles, grain growth through boundary migration, and various diffusion mechanisms including surface diffusion, grain boundary diffusion, volume diffusion, and vapor transport through evaporation and condensation.
It can be degraded by various mechanisms, including surface erosion, enzymatic degradation through chitosanase and lysozyme, and dissolution.
Plasticity of neurotransmission in physiological and pathophysiological states depend on LGIC trafficking that is modulated by a number of different mechanisms including surface targeting, mobility, and endocytosis.
Tribological wear mechanisms identifiable on stone surfaces include surface fatigue, adhesion, abrasion, and tribochemical interactions, each of which are continuously in play, so that what we see depends on when the wear process was interrupted.
This chapter describes the various drainage mechanisms employed at process facilities that include surface runoff or grading, spill containment (diking), gravity sewers (oily water, special, sanitary), and pressurized sewer mains and lift station collection sumps spills resulting from the failure of equipment, overflows, or operating errors.
Rate equations that include surface reactions following the Eley Rideal mechanism contain an additional term that depends on the gas phase abundance of one reactant, the surface abundance of the other reactant, and the rate of reaction between them.
