Temperature and salt addition effects on the solubility behaviour of some phenolic compounds in water

Solubility-temperature dependence data for six phenolic compounds (PhC), contained in olive mill wastewater (OMWW), in water and in some chloride salts (KCl, NaCl, and LiCl) aqueous solutions have been presented and solution standard molar enthalpies (Δ_solH^∘) were determined using Van’t Hoff plots. The temperature was varied from 293.15 K to 318.15 K. Solubility data were estimated using a thermostated reactor and HPLC analysis. It has been observed that solubility, in pure water and in aqueous chloride solutions, increases with increasing temperature. The salting-out LiCl > NaCl > KCl order obtained at 298.15 K is confirmed. Results were interpreted in terms of the salt hydration shells and the ability of the solute to form hydrogen-bond with water. The standard molar Gibbs free energies of transfer of PhC (Δ_trG^∘) from pure water to aqueous solutions of the chloride salts have been calculated from the solubility data. In order to estimate the contribution of enthalpic and entropic terms, standard molar enthalpies (Δ_trH^∘) and entropies (Δ_trS^∘) of transfer have also been calculated. The decrease in solubility is correlated to the positive Δ_trG^∘ value which is mainly of enthalpic origin.     

New Insights into Buffer-Ionic Salt Interactions: Solubilities,Transfer Gibbs Energies,and Transfer Molar Volumes of TAPS and TAPSO from Water to Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions

The solubilities of N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]-3-aminopropanesulfonic acid (TAPS) or N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]-3-amino-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid (TAPSO) in water and in aqueous solutions of CH₃COOK (KAc), KBr, KCl, or NaCl were determined from density measurements at 298.15 K. The solubilities of TAPS in aqueous solution decrease with increasing concentration of the salts (salting-out effect), whereas those of TAPSO increase with increasing concentration of the salts (salting-in effect). The solubility and density data were further used to calculate the apparent transfer Gibbs energies, Δ_tr G, and transfer molar volumes, D_trV_f^o\Delta_{\mathrm{tr}}V_{\phi}^{\mathrm{o}}, of these buffers from water to aqueous electrolyte solutions at 298.15 K. The contributions of various functional groups of TAPS, TAPSO, and the related buffers (tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, TRIS, and N-tris[hydroxymethyl]-4-amino-butanesulfonic acid, TABS) to the transfer properties were systematically estimated from the calculated Δ_tr G and D_trV_f^o\Delta_{\mathrm{tr}}V_{\phi}^{\mathrm{o}}.     

Interactions of Peptides and Lysozyme with Aqueous Tetraethylammonium Bromide at 298.15 K

The apparent molar volumes, V _{ø, 2}, of gly-leu, gly-gly-leu and the partial specific volume ν^° of hen-egg-white lysozyme have been determined in aqueous of TEAB solutions by density measurements at 298.15 K. These data have been used to calculate the infinite dilution apparent molar volumes V _2,m ^o for the peptides in aqueous TEAB solutions and the standard partial molar volumes of transfer Δ_tr V _2,m ^o of the peptides from water to aqueous TEAB solutions. The results on Δ_tr V _2,m ^o of peptides from water to aqueous TEAB solutions have been interpreted in terms of ion-ion, ion-polar, hydrophilic-hydrophilic and hydrophobic-hydrophobic group interactions. In order to supplement this information, enthalpies of transfer of aqueous peptides from water to TEAB solution have been determined at 298.15 K using a VP-ITC titration calorimeter. The data on partial molar volumes and enthalpies of transfer have been discussed in light of various interactions operating in the ternary system of peptides, water and TEAB. The partial specific volume of transfer of lysozyme from water to aqueous TEAB solutions also indicates the predominance of hydrophobic interactions.     

Thermodynamics of formation for the 18-crown-6-triglycine molecular complex in water-dimethylsulfoxide solvents

The effect of a water-dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solvent on the formation of a molecular complex of 18-crown-6 (18C6) with triglycine (diglycylglycine, 3Gly) is studied via calorimetric titration. It is found that switching from water to an H₂O-DMSO mixture with DMSO mole fraction of 0.30 is accompanied by a monotonic increase in the stability of [3Gly18C6] complex, from logK ^° = 1.10 to logK ^° = 2.44, and an increase in the exothermicity of the reaction of its formation, from ?5.9 to ?16.9 kJ/mol. It is shown that the [3Gly18C6] complex exhibits enthalpy stabilization with negative values of enthalpy and entropy over the investigated range of H₂O-DMSO solvents. Analysis of the reagents’ solvation characteristics reveals that the increase in the reaction’s exothermicity of transfer is due to differences in the solvation of [3Gly18C6] and 18C6 with a small solvation contribution from 3Gly. It is concluded that the change in the Gibbs energy of the reaction 3Gly_solv + 18C6_solv ? [3Gly18C6]_solv is due to differences in the change in the solvation state of the complex and the peptide (Δ_tr G ^°([3Gly18C6])-Δ_tr G ^°(3Gly)).     

Temperature and sodium chloride effects on the solubility of anthracene in water

The solubility of anthracene was measured in pure water and in sodium chloride aqueous solution (salt concentration, m/mol · kg^?1 = 0.1006, 0.5056, and 0.6082) at temperatures between (278 and 333) K. Solubility of anthracene in pure water agrees fairly well with values reported in earlier similar studies. Solubility of anthracene in sodium chloride aqueous solutions ranged from (6 · 10^?8 to 143 · 10^?8) mol · kg^?1. Sodium chloride had a salting-out effect on the solubility of anthracene. The salting-out coefficients did not vary significantly with temperature over the range studied. The average salting-out coefficient for anthracene was 0.256 kg · mol^?1.The standard molar Gibbs free energies, Δ_trG°, enthalpies, Δ_trH°, and entropies, Δ_trS°, for the transfer of anthracene from pure water to sodium chloride aqueous solutions were also estimated. Most of the estimated Δ_trG° values were positive [(20 to 1230) J · mol^?1]. The analysis of the thermodynamic parameters shows that the transfer of anthracene from pure water to sodium chloride aqueous solution is thermodynamically unfavorable, and that this unfavorable condition is caused by a decrease in entropy.     

Zeolite ZSM-5 containing copper ions: The effect of the copper salt anion and NH<Subscript>4</Subscript>OH/Cu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> ratio on the state of the copper ions and on the reactivity of the zeolite in DeNO<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>

Isotherms of copper cation sorption by H-ZSM-5 zeolite from aqueous and aqueous ammonia solutions of copper acetate, chloride, nitrate, and sulfate are considered in terms of Langmuir’s monomolecular adsorption model. Using UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and temperatureprogrammed reduction with hydrogen and carbon monoxide, it has been demonstrated that the electronic state of the copper ions is determined by the ion exchange and heat treatment conditions. The state of the copper ions has an effect on the redox properties and reactivity of the Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with propane and in N₂O decomposition. The amount of Cu²⁺ that is sorbed by zeolite H-ZSM-5 from aqueous solution and is stabilized as isolated Cu²⁺ cations in cationexchange sites of the zeolite depends largely on the copper salt anion. The quantity of Cu(II) cations sorbed from aqueous solutions of copper salts of strong acids is smaller than the quantity of the same cations sorbed from the copper acetate solution. When copper chloride or sulfate is used, the zeolite is modified by the chloride or sulfate anion. Because of the presence of these anions, the redox properties and nitrogen oxides removal (DeNO _x ) efficiency of the Cu-ZSM-5 catalysts prepared using the copper salts of strong acids are worse than the same characteristics of the sample prepared using the copper acetate solution. The addition of ammonia to the aqueous solutions of copper salts diminishes the copper salt anion effect on the amount of Cu(II) sorbed from these solutions and hampers the nonspecific sorption of anions on the zeolite surface. As a consequence, the redox and DeNO _x properties of Cu-ZSM-5 depend considerably on the NH₄OH/Cu²⁺ ratio in the solution used in ion exchange. The aqueous ammonia solutions of the copper salts with NH₄OH/Cu²⁺ = 6–10 stabilize, in the Cu-ZSM-5 structure, Cu²⁺ ions bonded with extraframework oxygen, which are more active in DeNO _x than isolated Cu²⁺ ions (which form at NH4OH/Cu2+ = 30) or nanosized CuO particles (which form at NH₄OH/Cu²⁺ = 3).     

Evaluation of Gibbs free energy for the transfer of a highly hydrophilic ion from an acidic aqueous solution to an organic solution based on ion pair extraction

A method to determine the standard Gibbs free energy for the transfer, ΔG°_tr, of a highly hydrophilic metal ion from an aqueous solution, W, in the presence of high concentration of H⁺ to an organic solution, O, was proposed based on the theoretical consideration of the distribution process of ions between W and O. The usefulness of the proposed method was verified experimentally by comparing ΔG°_tr of Mg²⁺ determined by the method with that obtained by voltammetry for the ion transfer at the W|O interface. The O examined were nitrobenzene (NB) and 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE). By applying the proposed method, ΔG°_tr of NpO₂⁺, UO₂²⁺, NpO₂²⁺ and PuO₂²⁺ from an acidic W to NB were determined.     

Extraction from mixed HCl−H2C2O4 solutions purification of some actinides

Carrier-free⁹⁰Y isotope was used to study the distribution between the aqueous solution of nitric acid and sodium nitrate and HDOP in cyclohexane. The distribution coefficients (D) were measured as a function of the acidity and the nitrate concentration (M_{NO 3}) in the aqueous phase. The acid dependence was studied in a HNO₃ concentration range of 1–14M. The curve IgD vs. lgM_{HNO 3} in the range of 1–4 gives a slope of 3. The anion effect of nitrate ions shows a complexing influence on the yttrium ions changing its distribution between the two phases. The results can be useful in hydrometallurgical processes in which the solutions are highly acidic and contain a large amount of the dissolved materials as nitrate salts.     

Effect of solvation on the thermodynamics of formation for 18-crown-6 ether complexes with glycine and triglycine in water-ethanol solutions at 298 K

Using data from calorimetric titration, standard thermodynamic parameters logK ^○, Δ_r G ^○, Δ_r H ^○, and TΔ_r S ^○ of the formation of 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) molecular complex with triglycine (3Gly), [3Gly18C6] in H₂O-EtOH solvents with contents of ethanol x ranging between 0.0 and 0.5 mole fractions are calculated. Increasing the concentration of EtOH in the solvent is found to raise the reaction’s exothermicity from ?5.9 to ?21.0 kJ mol^?1 and logK ^○ [3Gly18C6] from 1.10 to 2.53. A comparative analysis of the effect the composition of H₂O-EtOH solvent has on the reactions of [3Gly18C6] and [Gly18C6] formation is performed. As in case of [Gly18C6] formation, the changes in the complex’s enthalpy of solvation Δ_tr H ^○([3Gly18C6]) are close to the Δ_tr H ^○(18C6) parameter and differ considerably from the Δ_tr H ^○(3Gly) value, testifying to the crucial role 18C6 plays in changing the [3Gly18C6] state of solvation. The ratio between solvation contributions from reagents to Δ_tr G ^○ of [3Gly18C6] formation is found to differ from that the one between the corresponding contributions to Δ_tr H _r ^o : in transferring from water to H₂O-EtOH mixtures, the increase in the positive Δ_tr G ^○(18C6) values is slight and therefore negligible when compared to Δ_tr G ^○(3Gly).

Abstract

The effect of mono-, di- and trivalent metal salts on the maximum aqueous solubility of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) has been investigated. The results show the solubility to be highly dependent on the cation charge: M⁺ < M²⁺ < M³⁺. For chloride as the anion, the solubility increases down Group II for a given salt concentration: Mg²⁺ < Ca²⁺ < Sr²⁺ < Ba²⁺. However for nitrate as the anion, solubility is largely cation-independent. The increased solubility allows mediumfield NMR (200 MHz) to be used in the study of the β-CD-thymol inclusion complex.     

Effects of concentration and temperature on molar volumes of L-serine, L-isoleucine, and L-glutamine in aqueous NaCl and NaNO3 solutions

Densities of L-serine, L-isoleucine, L-glutamine in 1.5 mol kg^?1 aqueous NaCl, and NaNO₃ solutions have been measured for several molal concentrations of amino acids at temperatures from 298.15 to 323.15 K. The partial molar volumes (? _v ⁰ ) of L-serine, L-isoleucine, and L-glutamine in 1.5 mol kg^?1 aqueous NaCl/NaNO₃ solutions have been computed using density data. The transfer partial molar volumes (Δ_tr? _v ⁰ ) of L-serine, L-isoleucine, and L-glutamine from water to 1.5 mol kg^?1 aqueous NaCl/1.5 mol kg^?1 aqueous NaNO₃ solutions have been determined at 298.15 K. The trends of variation of ? _v ⁰ and Δ_tr? _v ⁰ with change in temperature have been discussed in terms of ion-ion, ion-hydrophilic, and ion-hydrophobic interactions operative in solutions.     

Structural Effects and Microheterogeneity in Concentrated Solutions and Their Role in the Formation of Cadmium Chloride Complexes

The proton relaxation rate and Raman spectra in the regions of vibrations of the Cd-Cl, Cd-OH₂ groups and bending vibrations eta₄ of nitrate ions in the systems CdAn₂-NaCl-H₂O (An = Cl^-, ClO₄ ^-, NO₃ ^-) were measured. In the range of subeutectic concentrations of cadmium salts all possible forms of chloride complexes of cadmium are formed. In the posteutectic region the formation of complexes is structurally induced; it depends on the nature of dominating cybotactic groups and is limited to the formation of only low-coordinate forms. The mechanisms of the formation of chloride complexes in perchlorate and nitrate systems were proposed. It was concluded that, in contrast to the chloride system, the nitrate and perchlorate systems in the presence of sodium chloride are characterized by structural microheterogeneity. The distinctions in the nature of the microheterogeneity and its effect on the complex formation were considered. The solubility polytherm and Raman spectra of the system Cd(NO₃)₂-NaCl-H₂O with a high content of the both salts were measured. The causes of abnormally high mutual solubility of nitrate salts in multicomponent solutions containing salts that crystallize in the hydrated and anhydrous forms were suggested.     

Solvation of ions. XXVII. Comparison of methods to calculate single ion free energies of transfer in mixed solvents

Free energies of transfer of ions from water to mixtures of water with acetonitrile (AN), with dimethylformamide (DMF), with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), and with ethylene glycol have been determined using both the tetraphenylarsonium tetraphenylboride [TATB] and the negligible liquid junction potential [E _j ] assumptions. By making use of ΔG _tr (Ag⁺)[TATB]=12 kJ-mol^?1 for transfer from DMSO to AN and by assuming negligible liquid junction potential in the cell $${\text{Ag|AgNO}}_{\text{3}} {\text{(0}}{\text{.01}}M{\text{),S}}\parallel {\text{Et}}_{\text{4}} {\text{NPic(0}}{\text{.1}}M{\text{),AN}}\parallel {\text{AgNO}}_{\text{3}} {\text{(0}}{\text{.01}}M{\text{),AN|Ag}}$$ single ion free energies of transfer of silver ion ΔG _tr (Ag⁺)[E _j ] from DMSO to 35 pure and mixed solvents show a standard deviation of only 2 kJ-mol^?1 when compared with ΔG _tr (Ag⁺) calculated from the TATB assumption that ΔG _tr (Ph ₄ As⁺)=ΔG _tr (Ph ₄ B^?). The ferrocene assumption [Fc] also gives acceptable agreement with ΔG _tr (Ag⁺)[TATB] provided that the solvents are not highly aqueous. Other cells with other junctions give less acceptable agreement between the E _j and TATB assumptions. It is essential that the salt bridge is always tetraethylammonium picrate in AN, if the E _j assumption is assumed. Because of the ease of making potentiometric measurements compared with the difficulty of measurements required for the TATB assumption, the negligible liquid junction potential method in the cell shown is recommended for estimating transfer free energies of single ions. The ferrocene assumption is acceptable only for non-structured aprotic solvents.     

Kinetics,isotherm and thermodynamics for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) adsorption from aqueous solutions by crystalline hydrous titanium oxide

The synthetic crystalline hydrous titanium(IV) oxide (CHTO), an anatase variety and thermally stable up to 300 °C, has been used for adsorption of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) from the aqueous solutions, the optimum pH-values of which are 5.0 and 1.5, respectively. The kinetic data correspond very well to the pseudo-second order equation. The rates of adsorption are controlled by the film (boundary layer) diffusion, and increase with increasing temperature. The equilibrium data describe very well the Langmuir, Redlich–Peterson, and Toth isotherms. The monolayer adsorption capacities are high, and increased with increasing temperature. The evaluated ΔG^° (kJ · mol^?1) and ΔH^° (kJ · mol^?1) indicate the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the reactions. The adsorptions occur with increase in entropy (ΔS^° = positive), and the mean free energy (E_DR) values obtained by analysis of equilibrium data with Dubinin–Radushkevick equation indicate the ion-exchange mechanism for Cr(III) and Cr(VI)-adsorptions.     

Enthalpies of transfer of amino acids from water to aqueous solutions of sodium nitrate and sodium perchlorate at T = 298.15 K

Enthalpies of solution of glycine, l-alanine and l-serine in water and aqueous solutions of NaNO₃ and NaClO₄ have been determined at T = 298.15 K with a calorimeter. Enthalpies of transfer (Δ_trH) from water to aqueous solutions of salts were derived and interpreted in terms of electrostatic interaction and structural interaction. Δ_trH decreases with increasing salt concentration in the composition range studied. The transfer enthalpies of amino acids from water to NaNO₃ solution and low concentration NaClO₄ solution vary in the sequence l-serine < glycine < l-alanine while glycine < l-serine < l-alanine in NaClO₄ solution above 2 mol kg⁻¹. The difference may be due to ion association at high concentration, weakening the interaction with l-serine more than with glycine.

Using the McMillan-Mayer theory, enthalpy coefficients of pairwise interactions h _xy of amino acids with molecules of polyols are calculated that are negative. The obtained results are discussed within the theory of the prevalence of different types of interactions in mixed solutions and the effect of the structural features of interacting biomolecules on the thermochemical parameters of dissolution of amino acids.

The obtained data are used to calculate the standard values of enthalpies of dissolution (Δ_sol H ^m ) and enthalpies of transfer (Δ_tr H ^m ) of glycine and its oligomers from water to SDS aqueous solutions. The dependences of Δ_sol H ^m and Δ_tr H ^m on SDS concentration in an aqueous solution at a constant concentration of glycine and its oligomers are determined. A comparative analysis of the thermodynamic characteristics of Gly, GlyGly, and GlyGlyGly transfer within the studied range of SDS concentrations is performed. The results are interpreted in terms of ion–ion, ion–polar, and hydrophobic interactions between SDS and molecules of glycine and its oligomers.
