Fractal porous media III: Transversal Stokes flow through random and Sierpinski carpets

The transversal Stokes flow of a Newtonian fluid through random and Sierpinski carpets is numerically calculated and the transversal permeability derived. In random carpets derived from site percolation, the average macroscopic permeability varies as (- _c)^3/2, close to the critical porosity _c. This exponent is found to be slightly different from the conductivity exponent. Results for Sierpinski carpets are presented up to the fourth generation. The Carman equation is not verified in these two model porous media.

INFLUENCES OF ACID POST-TREATMENT ON THE MORPHOLOGY OF SOAPFREE P（MMA-EA-MAA） PARTICLES PREPARED BY SEEDED EMULSION POLYMERIZATION

Soap-free poly（methyl methacrylate-ethyl acrylate-methacrylic acid） latex particles with narrow size distribution were synthesized by seeded emulsion polymerization, and the porous particles were created by a stepwise alkali/acid treatment method. Effects of acid treatment conditions on the particle morphology were investigated. Results show that one to three pores were formed inside most of particles after post-treatment. At pH 7.0, when the treatment temperature was lower than 70℃, the size of particles and the volume of pores remained almost unchanged, and these two values increased significantly when the temperature was higher than 70℃. Both the particle size and the pore volume decreased with the increase of initial pH value and treatment time in the acid treatment. As the pH was below 4.0 and the treatment time was longer than 180 min, the particles shrunk in size.

Copolymer of Di (methacryloyloxymethyl) naphthalene and divinylbenzene as a column packing for high-performance liquid chromatography

Summary A new porous polyaromatic ester packing was synthetized for high performance liquid chromatography. The relationship between retention and chain length of the members of homologous series of alkylbenzenes, N-alkylanilines, alkylarylethers, alkylbenzoates and alkylarylketones on this new stationary phase using different eluents was investigated. Using the alkylarylketone scale the retention indices of the homologues and test compounds were calculated. The results were compared with those obtained for poly (styrene-divinylbenzene) polymers. For both types of packing the first members of each homologous series gave non-linear behaviour. The methylene group index increments are different for the studied homologous series; thus there is no simple additivity of the retention indices. The efficiency of the porous polymeric columns is a function of the capacity factor of the solute and the organic component of the eluent.     

Studies on the porous structure of di(methacryloyloxymethyl) naphthalene-divinylbenzene copolymers by inverse exclusion chromatography

Summary Using inverse exclusion chromatography the porous structure of the copolymers of di(methacryloyloxymethyl)naphthalenes and divinylbenzene was investigated.In order to determine the pore size distributions of the copolymers, toluene, alkylphenones, phthalates and polystyrene standards were used as the probes.The measurements proved that the existence of micropores depend on the method of copolymerization. The copolymers obtained by suspension and emulsion methods are more or less microporous, but the copolymer prepared by thermal polymerization in mass does not include micropores in its internal structure.     

Rapid analysis of triterpenic acids by liquid chromatography using porous graphitic carbon and evaporative light scattering detection

An original system which uses Porous Graphitic Carbon as support and a mixture of organic solvents as mobile phase is proposed for the analysis of triterpenic acids by liquid chromatography. The separation of betulinic acid, ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, and 18alpha- and 18beta-glycyrrhetinic acids was carried out within a short time and monitored by evaporative light scattering detection as universal detection method. Molecular modelling studies show that the main contribution to the selectivity comes from the electrostatic interaction characterised by the dipole moment of the products.     

Retention characteristics of volatile compounds on tenax TA

The chromatographic separation properties of long, thin adsorption tubes enable substance-specific quantitative enrichment and reduction to be achieved when sampling and thermal desorption are carried out in the same flow direction. The specific retention volumes, and also the breakthrough and peak end volumes, of 69 compounds in the boiling range between-164 and 126°C and of a relative molecular mass between 16 and 119 were determined at temperatures between 30 and 130°C: normal alkanes, isoalkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, polyenes, alkynes, aromatics, ethers, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and their esters, nitroalkanes, O-heterocycles, S-heterocycles, chloroalkanes, water, nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. The correlation between adsorbent temperature and specific retention volume of these components, presented in the form of diagrams, permits the required quantity of adsorbent to be determined for a given sample volume. Contrary to literature sources, even extremely volatile compounds such as propane, propene, methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid, and chloromethane can be quantitatively retained on Tenax provided the operating conditions are appropriately selected.     

Determination of the specific interaction of disubstituted aromatic compounds on hydrous zirconium oxide-loaded porous polymer resin

Summary A porous polymer resin loaded with hydrous zirconium oxide (Zr-gel) was evaluated as a stationary phase for the liquid chromatographic separation of disubstituted aromatic compounds. The prepared Zr-gel was used to separate disubstituted phenols andortho-substituted benzoic acid derivatives in reversed-phase mode. The retention time of catechol was greater than those of other disubstituted phenols; this implies that the Zr-gel has specificity for the phenolic hydroxyl group. The retention behavior ofortho-substituted benzoic acid derivatives on the Zr-gel was also evaluated in reversedphase mode using buffer. Phthalic acid was specifically retained in the vicinity of pH 6.0, which has been regarded as the equal adsorbic point. Similar behavior was also observed for salicylic acid, although the retention time of salicylic acid was less than that of phthalic acid. It seems that the specific retention behavior of hydrous zirconium oxide is a result of complexation with ligands such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. The results of this study have revealed that the retention mechanism of hydrous zirconium oxide is a combination of ion exchange and interaction based on complexation with ligands.
