Effect of temperature on the solubility of carnallite type double salts

A method based on Pitzer's model has been used for calculation of the solubilities of carnallite type double salts crystallizing in the systems MeX–MgX₂–H₂O (Me=Li, NH₄, K, Rb, Cs; X=Cl, Br). The solubility of congruently soluble double salts was also determined experimentally at 25–75°C. The results from studies of the solubility diagrams of ternary carnallite type water-salt systems over a wide temperature range are summarized. It is found that the width of the crystallization region for each of the salts can be explained by the relative differences in the solubilities of the ternary solution components (MeX, MgX₂·6H₂O and MeX·MgX₂·6H₂O) and by a change of temperature, and by the effect of temperature on the solubility. A method is proposed for calculating Pitzer's ternary parameters of interionic interaction (_MN and _MNX) on the basis of experimental data for the solubility in water of the double salts crystallizing in the corresponding ternary water-salt systems.

Electric conductivity in a fibrous porous medium with thin but polarized double layers

The electric conduction in the fibrous medium constructed by a homogeneous array of parallel, identical, charged, circular cylinders having an arbitrary zeta potential filled with the solution of a symmetrically charged electrolyte is analytically examined. The thickness of the electric double layers surrounding the dielectric cylinders is assumed to be small relative to the radius of each cylinder and to the gap width between two neighboring cylinders, but the polarization of the mobile ions in the diffuse layers is allowed. The effect of interactions among individual cylinders is taken into explicit account by employing a unit cell model. The appropriate equations of conservation of electrochemical potential energies of ionic species are solved for each cell, in which a cylinder is envisaged to be surrounded by a coaxial cylindrical shell of the fluid solution. Analytical expressions for the effective electric conductivity are obtained in closed forms as functions of the porosity of the fiber matrix and other characteristics of the porous system. Comparisons of the results of the cell model with different conditions at the outer boundary of the cell are made. Under an otherwise identical condition, the electric conductivity in a porous medium composed of an array of parallel cylinders in the transverse direction is smaller than that of a suspension of spheres. The effect of interactions among the cylinders or spheres on the effective conductivity can be quite significant under appropriate conditions.     

The photoluminescence of Co-Al-layered double hydroxide

We report a new optical behaviour of pure Co-Al-layered double hydroxide (LDH).It was found that the Co-Al-LDH sample could emit fluorescence without any fluorescent substances intercalated.Its excitation spectrum shows a maximum peak near the wavelength 370nm,the maximum emission peak appears at 430 nm and the photoluminescence colour of the Co-Al-LDH sample is blue.This new optical property will be expected to extend the potential applications of LDHs in optical materials field.     

The electrochemical interface between copper(111) and aqueous electrolytes

The electrochemical double layer between Cu(111) electrodes and aqueous electrolytes (F⁻ and SO²⁻₄ at various pH values) was studied by means of linear scan voltammetry and ac impedance measurements. It is found that electrochemisorption of oxygen species proceeds on the Cu(111) surface in the potential regions more negative than the electrodissolution potential of copper. The adsorption-desorption kinetics are analysed; the anodic and cathodic symmetry coefficients are found to be equal (α = β = 0.3), and the standard rate constant is k° = 4 × 10⁻¹⁰cm s⁻¹.     

UV spectra and excitation delocalization in DNA: influence of the spectral width.

The singlet excited states of the model DNA duplex (dA)10.(dT)10 are studied. Calculations are performed in the exciton theory framework. Molecular dynamics calculations provide the duplex geometry. The dipolar coupling is determined using atomic transition charges. The monomer transition energies are simulated by Gaussian functions resembling the absorption bands of nucleosides in aqueous solutions. Most of the excited states are found to be delocalized over at least two bases and result from the mixing of different monomer states. Their properties are only weakly affected by conformational changes of the double helix. On average, the highest oscillator strength is carried by the upper eigenstates. The duplex absorption spectra are shifted a few nanometers to higher energies with respect to the spectra of noninteracting monomers. The states with larger spatial extent are located close to the maximum of the absorption spectrum.     

Intrinsic Surface Reaction Constant in 1-pK Model of Mg-Fe Hydrotalcite-like Compounds

The relationship among intrinsic surface reaction constant (K) in 1-pK model, point of zero net charge (PZNC) and structural charge density (σst) for amphoteric solid with structural charges was established in order to investigate the effect of σst on pK. The theoretical analysis based on 1-pK model indicates that the independent PZNC of electrolyte concentration (c) exists for amphoteric solid with structural charges. A common intersection point (CIP) should appear on the acid-base titration curves at different c, and the pH at the CIP is pHPZNC. The pK can be expressed as pK=-pHPZNC log[(1 2αPZNC)/(1-2αPZNC)], where αPZNC≡σst/eNANs, in which e is the elementary charge, NA the Avogadro‘s constant and Ns the total density of surface sites. For solids without structural charges, pK=-pHPZNC. The pK values of hydrotalcite-like compounds (HTlc) with general formula of [Mg1-xFex(OH)2](Cl,OH)x were evaluated. With increasing x, the pK increases, which can be explained based on the affinity of metal cations for H^- or OH^- and the electrostatic interaction between charging surface and H^- or OH^-.     

The disorderly exfoliated LDHs/PMMA nanocomposites synthesized by in situ bulk polymerization: The effects of LDH-U on thermal and mechanical properties

The disorderly exfoliated layered double hydroxides/poly(methyl methacrylate) (LDHs/PMMA) nanocomposites were obtained in a two-stage process by the in situ bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of 10-undecenoate intercalated LDH (LDH-U). The dispersed behavior of the LDH-U in the PMMA matrix was identified by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV/visible transmission spectroscopy. All these nanocomposites showed significantly enhancement of glass transition temperature (T_g) and the decomposition temperatures compared to pristine PMMA, as identified in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis. The tensile modulus of these nanocomposites was also enhanced by incorporating the LDH-U into the PMMA matrix and increased as the amount of LDH-U increased. According to the analytical method of Ozawa-Flynn, the degradation activation energies of these nanocomposites are higher than that of pristine PMMA.
