Antimony,symbol Sb,one of the earliest elements to be recognised, demonstrates that there is much intriguing chemistry to be found in the nether regions of the Periodic Table. Ametalloid with a strong affinity for sulfur, antimony is pharmacologically active and hasbeen used in medicines, but is also a poison.

Most lead bullion is refined by pyrometallurgical methods - this involves a serics of processes that remove the antimony (softening) silver (Parkes process), zinc (vacuum dezincing) and if need be, bismuth (Betterton-Kroll process). The first step, softening, removes the antimony, arsenic and tin by air oxidation in a furnace or by the Harris process. Next, in the Parkes process, zinc is added to the melt to remove the silver and gold. Insoluble zinc, silver and gold compounds are skimmed off from the melt surface. Excess zinc added during desilvering is removed from lead bullion using one of ghree methods: * Vacuum dezincing; * Chlorine dezincing; or * Harris dezincing. The present study concentrates on the Vacuum dezincing process for lead refining. The main aims of the research are to develop mathematical model(s), using Computational Fluid Dyanmics (CFD) a Surface Averaged Model (SAM), to predict the process behaviour under various operating conditions, thus providing detailed information of the process - insight into its reaction to changes of key operating parameters. Finally, the model will be used to optimise the process in terms of initial feed concentration, temperature, vacuum height cooling rate, etc.

Explores case law illustrating the circumstances in which the courts are likely to order the return of a deposit in the event of a buyer's default. Notes the unwillingness of the courts to apply the rule on penalties to deposits and discusses the court's discretion under the Law of Property Act 1925 s.49(2) to order repayment. Focuses on the Chancery Division ruling in Aribisala v St James Homes (Grosvenor Dock) Ltd giving guidance on the circumstances in which the discretion under s.49(2) should be exercised.

Examines the Court of Appeal ruling in Midill (97PL) Ltd v Park Lane Estates Ltd on whether the court should exercise its discretion to return a deposit paid under a contract for the sale of a property where, despite the claimant having defaulted on its purchase, the owner obtained a higher price than would have been paid by the claimant when it subsequently sold the property to a third party. Considers the need for special or exceptional circumstances to be present to override the rule that deposits were to be forfeited upon the purchaser's default.
