Exchange Particles (1159 words) |
 | Gluons are the exchange particles for the color force between quarks, analogous to the exchange of photons in the electromagnetic force between two charged particles. |
 | The W and Z particles are the massive exchange particles which are involved in the nuclear weak interaction, the weak force between electrons and neutrinos. |
 | The W and Z particles are called intermediate vector bosons and are the exchange particles for the weak interaction. |
| Apparatus for treating a fluid in an ion exchange process - Patent 5626750 (7466 words) |
 | Reciprocating flow ion exchange systems are used in ion exchange processes for the removal and/or recovery of at least part of a component or components from a fluid by contacting the fluid with ion exchange particles. |
 | Previously, the ion exchange particles could not be removed from the vessel without first having to physically disconnect the vessel from the ion exchange system and disassemble the top or bottom to gain access to the ion exchange bed. |
 | By using fine mesh particles there is a reduction of hydrodynamic mixing at the fluid (being treated) and regenerant interface and a reduction in contamination due to the finite diffusion rates of constituents of one fluid coming from the ion exchange particle when the particle is contacted with the other fluid. |
