The adsorption of C4 unsaturated hydrocarbons on highly dehydrated silica. An IR-spectroscopic and thermodynamic study

The adsorptive interaction of 1-butyne and 1-butene with a highly dehydrated pyrogenic silica system has been studied to understand the thermodynamic behavior of the adsorption process by the application of the Langmuir model and of the Van't Hoff equation. In situ FTIR spectroscopy allowed the characterization of the adsorption phenomenon in terms of involved surface sites, gas-volumetric determinations yielded quantitative information relative to the adsorption process, and microcalorimetric results allowed the comparison between calculated and experimental data. K(eq) and Delta(ads)G degrees were obtained from Langmuir's model application; Delta(ads)H data were obtained from the Van't Hoff equation and by the isosteric heats method and were compared with experimental values. The virtual constancy of Delta(ads)H with equilibrium pressure and surface coverage (Langmuir model) allowed us to obtain the Delta(ads)H degrees values and, consequently, the Delta(ads)S degrees values for the systems of interest.     

Measurement and correlation of the solubility of 3,4-bis(3-nitrofurazan-4-yl)furoxan (DNTF) in different solvents

A knowledge of the solubility of 3,4-bis(3-nitrofurazan-4-yl)furoxan (DNTF) in different solvents is essential for crystallization and further theoretical studies. The laser monitoring system was used for measuring the solubility of DNTF in methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, benzene, toluene and n-butanol at temperatures ranging from (298.15 to 338.15) K. Polynomial empirical equation, ideal model and modified Apelblat equation were used to correlate the experimental values. The correlated results of three correlation equations present good consistency with the experimental values. In addition, the modified Apelblat equation produced higher accuracy than the polynomial empirical equation and the ideal equation. The standard dissolution enthalpy, standard dissolution entropy and the Gibbs energy were calculated from the experimental values. The solubility values of DNTF and correlation equations from this experiment would be invoked as basic data and models regarding the crystallization process of DNTF.     

TG-assisted determination of pyrene solubility in 1-pentanol

Thermogravimetry technique was used to analyze the composition of saturated solution in the measurement of solubility of pyrene in 1-pentanol. A proper heating curve was designed in order to evaporate solvent with a high speed completely and at the same time keep solute mass unchanged. The measured solubility was close to the data measured by traditional laser monitoring observation technique. The experimental data were correlated with the Apelblat model. The calculated values of Apelblat model were found to show a fine representation of the experimental data. Then the dissolution enthalpy and entropy of pyrene were predicted from the solubility data using van’t Hoff equation.     

Study on volatility and flash point of the pseudo binary mixtures of sunflower-based biodiesel + methylcyclohexane

The transesterification of sunflower seed oil was carried out in supercritical ethanol without using any catalyst to produce biodiesel. In the present work, methylcyclohexane was added to enhance the vapor pressure of biodiesel. The vapor pressures of mixtures of biodiesel + methylcyclohexane as a function of temperature were measured by comparative ebulliometry with an inclined ebulliometer. The vapor pressures versus composition at different temperatures were obtained. Experimental data of vapor pressures and equilibrium temperatures were correlated by the Antoine equation. A mathematical model was used to predict the flash point of the pseudo binary mixtures. With the regular solution theory, the predictive flash point displays agreement with the experimental data obtained by closed cup test.

Single and Mixed Gas Adsorption Equilibria of Carbon Dioxide/Methane on Activated Carbon

Single gas adsorption isotherms of methane and carbon dioxide on micro-porous Norit RB1 activated carbon were determined in a gravimetric analyser in the temperature range of 292 to 349 K and pressures to 0.8 Mpa. Furthermore binary isotherms of carbon dioxide and methane mixtures were determined at 292 K and pressures up to 0.65 MPa. Adsorbed phase compositions were determined from the gravimetric data by the rigorous thermodynamic method of Van Ness.These experimental binary equilibrium data were compared with equilibrium data calculated by the Ideal Adsorbed Solution (IAS) model. Only moderate agreement could be obtained.Finally, activity coefficients, accounting for the non-ideality of the adsorbate mixture, were calculated from the experimental data. The Wilson equation, derived for bulk solutions, was fitted on these activity data and the Wilson interaction parameters were determined. The Wilson equation proved to correlate the experimental data reasonably. However, the Wilson interaction parameters are not only completely different from those found for bulk solutions, but also the physical interpretation of these parameter values is completely lacking.It is concluded that new solution models should be developed encompassing both non-ideal solution behaviour and surface heterogeneity.     

First-principles calculation of pKa for cocaine, nicotine, neurotransmitters, and anilines in aqueous solution

The absolute pKa values of 24 representative amine compounds, including cocaine, nicotine, 10 neurotransmitters, and 12 anilines, in aqueous solution were calculated by performing first-principles electronic structure calculations that account for the solvent effects using four different solvation models, i.e., the surface and volume polarization for electrostatic interaction (SVPE) model, the standard polarizable continuum model (PCM), the integral equation formalism for the polarizable continuum model (IEFPCM), and the conductor-like screening solvation model (COSMO). Within the examined computational methods, the calculations using the SVPE model lead to the absolute pKa values with the smallest root-mean-square-deviation (rmsd) value (1.18). When the SVPE model was replaced by the PCM, IEFPCM, and COSMO, the rmsd value of the calculated absolute pKa values became 3.21, 2.72, and 3.08, respectively. All types of calculated pKa values linearly correlate with the experimental pKa values very well. With the empirical corrections using the linear correlation relationships, the theoretical pKa values are much closer to the corresponding experimental data and the rmsd values become 0.51-0.83. The smallest rmsd value (0.51) is also associated with the SVPE model. All of the results suggest that the first-principles electronic structure calculations using the SVPE model are a reliable approach to the pKa prediction for the amine compounds.

Correlations for describing gas-to-ionic liquid partitioning at 323 K based on ion-specific equation coefficient and group contribution versions of the Abraham model

Chromatographic retention measurements were measured for a wide range of solutes on 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate, ([MEIm]⁺[FAP]⁻), and 1-(3-hydroxypropyl)pyridinium tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate, ([1-PrOHPy]⁺[FAP]⁻), stationary phases at 323 K. The measured retention factors were combined with published infinite dilution activity coefficient, gas solubility data and retention factor data to yield gas-to-anhydrous ionic liquid (IL) partition coefficients at 323 K for 2349 different solute-IL combinations. The compiled partition coefficient data were analyzed using the ion-specific equation coefficient and the functional group contribution versions of the Abraham solvation parameter model. Ion-specific equation coefficients were calculated for 25 cations and 14 anions. In addition, values were calculated for 14 cation functional groups and 14 anions. The calculated ion-specific equation coefficients and calculated functional group values described the experimental 323 K partition coefficient data to within standard deviations of 0.10 and 0.13 log units, respectively.

Liquid phase equilibria for mixtures of (an aliphatic hydrocarbon + toluene + γ-butyrolactone) at 298.2 K and atmospheric pressure

Liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for three ternary systems consisting of {n-heptane or n-hexane or cyclohexane (1) + toluene (2) + γ-butyrolactone (3)} were measured at 298.2 K and atmospheric pressure. The reliability of the experimental tie-line data was verified by using the Othmer–Tobias correlation. Distribution coefficients, separation factors and selectivity were evaluated for the immiscibility region. The experimental tie-line data were correlated by the UNIQUAC equation and also predicted with the UNIFAC model. The calculated results were compared with the experimental data. Better agreement with the experimental data was obtained by the UNIQUAC equation. The UNIFAC model does not provide reasonable correlations.     

Volumetric and viscosity properties of {propyl propanoate (1) + heptane (or octane) (2)} mixtures at several temperatures and correlation with the Jouyban–Acree model

Densities and viscosities of binary liquid mixtures of propyl propanoate + heptane and propyl propanoate + octane at temperatures of 278.15, 283.15, 288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15, 318.15 and 323.15 K have been measured at atmospheric pressure over the entire range of composition. Using these experimental data, the excess molar volumes and the viscosity deviation have been calculated. The experimental data of density and viscosity at different investigated temperatures were mathematically represented by the Jouyban–Acree model. The mean relative deviation (MRD) was used as an error criterion, and the MRD values for data correlation of density and viscosity at different investigated temperatures are less than 0.03% and 0.50%, respectively. Excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations were correlated with Redlich–Kister equation. The calculated data point out the absence of speci?c interactions between the molecules of different components, which would be slightly weaker compared to the interactions in the pure components.     

Kinetics and equilibrium parameters of Hg(II) adsorption on silica-dithizone

Sílica-dithizone (Sil-dtz) was synthesized and used to adsorb Hg(II) in solution at pH 6.0. Increasing the temperature accelerates the mass transfer of Hg(II) to the silica surface. The kinetic data were evaluated using the traditional pseudo-first-order Lagergren equation and an alternative Avrami kinetic equation. From the latter equation, two regions presenting distinct kinetic parameters were found, at 25 and 35 degrees C, and the use of the parameter n was also related to the determination of distinct kinetic orders. Variations of the adsorption kinetic rate in relation to the time and the temperature were also calculated and are discussed. The adsorption isotherms data were well fitted to the Freundlich model. Interestingly, good adsorption data correlation of the Langmuir model and experimental values was observed only at 45 and 50 degrees C, suggesting, for this temperature range, the formation of complexes with the proportion Hg:dithizone 1:1 on the silica surface.
