In materials science, quenching is the rapid cooling of a workpiece in water, gas, oil, polymer, air, or other fluids to obtain certain material properties. A type of heat treating , quenching prevents undesired low-temperature processes, such as phase transformations, from occurring.
In chemistry, quenching refers to any process which decreases the fluorescent intensity of a given substance. A variety of processes can result in quenching, such as excited state reactions, energy transfer, complex-formation and collisions. As a consequence, quenching is often heavily dependent on pressure and temperature.
In chemistry, work-up refers to the series of manipulations required to isolate and purify the product(s) of a chemical reaction. [1] The term is used colloquially to refer to these manipulations, which may include: deactivating any unreacted reagents by quenching a reaction.
The Ni–Al alloy is prepared by dissolving nickel in molten aluminium followed by cooling ("quenching"). Depending on the Ni:Al ratio, quenching produces a number of different phases. During the quenching procedure, small amounts of a third metal, such as zinc or chromium, are added to enhance the activity of the resulting catalyst.
Quenching is a process of cooling a metal at a rapid rate. This is most often done to produce a martensite transformation. In ferrous alloys, this will often produce a harder metal, while non-ferrous alloys will usually become softer than normal.
In chemistry, a dark quencher (also known as a dark sucker) is a substance that absorbs excitation energy from a fluorophore and dissipates the energy as heat; while a typical (fluorescent) quencher re-emits much of this energy as light. [1] Dark quenchers are used in molecular biology in conjunction with fluorophores.
Dry skin can exacerbate wrinkles, so drinking enough water will help quench your skin from the inside out. Lastly, try to avoid tanning (including tanning beds!), smoking, and drinking alcohol to ...
Here, I and I 0 denote the emission intensity with and without quenching agent present, k q the rate constant of the quenching process, τ 0 the excited-state lifetime in the absence of quenching agent and [Q] the concentration of quenching agent. Thus, if the excited-state lifetime of the photoredox catalyst is known from other experiments ...
