Solubility of 1-Butene in Water and in a Medium for Cultivation of a Bacterial Strain

Solubility measurements of 1-butene in water, from 20 to 50°C and at atmospheric pressure, were carried out using a Ben-Naim/Baer-type apparatus. The experimental results have a precision of about ±0.3%. Using accurate thermodynamic relations, the Ostwald coefficients at the experimental conditions and at infinite dilution, the mole fractions of the dissolved gas at the gas partial pressure of 101.325 kPa and the Henry coefficients at the water vapor pressure were calculated. The mole fraction of dissolved gas were fitted to the Clarke, Glew, and Weiss equation and thermodynamic quantities, standard molar Gibbs energy, entropy, and enthalpy changes, for the process of transferring the 1-butene molecules from the gaseous to the water phase, were computed. Moreover, solubility measurements of 1-butene in an aqueous medium for the cultivation of Xanthobacter Py2 in the same temperature range were also performed at atmospheric pressure. These solubility data are approximately 2.6% lower than those observed in pure water.     

Solubility of Propene in Water and in a Mineral Medium for the Cultivation of a XanthobacterStrain

Solubility measurements of propene in water at atmospheric pressure and at thirteen temperatures in the range 293.15–323.15 K were carried out with a precision of 0.3%, using an apparatus based on the saturation method. The mole fractions, at a gas partial pressure of 101.325 kPa, were fitted to a Clarke–Glew–Weiss equation, which was used to calculate the standard molar Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy changes for the process of transferring the propene molecules from the gaseous to the water phase. Solubility measurements of propene in the growth medium ofXanthobacter Py2 at 298.15, 303.15, and 308.15 K were also carried out at atmospheric pressure. These experimental data, expressed in Ostwald coefficients at the total pressure of 101.325 kPa, were about 2% lower than their water counterparts.     

Solubility of inert gases and liquid hydrocarbons in water

The thermodynamic statistical model based on the distribution of molecular populations among energy levels has been employed for the analysis of the solubility of hydrocarbons and other inert gases or liquids in water at different temperatures. The statistical distribution is described by a convoluted partition function Z_G·_s. The product of a grand canonical partition function Z_G represents the distribution of the species in the reaction while the canonical partition function Z_G represents the properties of the solvent. The first derivative of the logarithm of the partition function with respect to 1/T is the apparent enthalpy which is the result of the contributions of the separate partition functions, {H_aap}_T=H^o+n_wC_p,wT, where {H_app}_T refers to Z_G, n_wC_p,wT=–H_w to _s, and H^o is the change in enthalpy of hydrocarbon-water reaction. The plot {H_app}_T vs/ T results in a straight line with slope n_w at constant C_p,w. The apparent enthalpy is obtained from the coefficients of the polynomial fitting of the solubility data, as a function of 1/T. Alternatively, the apparent enthalpy can be determined calorimetrically. The enthalpy thus obtained is a linear function of the Kelvin temperature. The values of n_w range from 1.6, 1.9, 5.6 to 5.8 for helium, hydorgen, butane and hexane, respectively. For fluorocompounds the range of n_w is 10.1 to 11.1 indicating that n_w is a function of the number of water molecules expelled from the cage of solvent to form a cavity to host the solute molecule. The analysis of several sets of calorimetric or solubility data with the present molecular thermodynamic model yields values of H^o and n_w consistent with the size of the dissolved molecules.List of Symbols p pressure - H _ij average enthalpy - H _i level enthalpy (=H) - H _i enthalpy difference - H _ij intersublevel energy difference - i index of level - j index of sublevel - Z_G grand canonical partition function - _S canonical partition function - Z_G- convoluted partition function - –G ^o/RT standard Gibbs energy normalized toRT - –H ^o/RT standard enthalpy normalized toRT - S ^o/R standard entropy normalized toR - C _p molar heat capacity - T absolute temperature - H _G- enthalpy of the convoluted ensemble - H _G enthalpy of the solute - H enthalpy of the solvent - H _app apparent enthalpy - H _w enthalpy of water - C_yH_z hydrocarbon - W water - K _s solubility equilibrium constant - x ₂ molar fraction of solute - C_yH_zW_(x-nw) hydrocarbon molecule trapped in a cavity - K _H Henry constant - P _s solubility product - [W] concentration of water - reference temperature - a, b, c, d coefficients of the fitting polynomial - {H _app}_T apparent enthalpy at temperatureT - {H }_T standard enthalpy at temperatureT - {H _w}_T water contribution to enthalpy at temperatureT - C _p,w isobaric molar heat capacity of water - L Ostwald coefficient - C _p isobaric heat capacity difference - Bunsen coefficient - C _p,app apparent isobaric heat capacity difference - n _C number of carbon atoms in the chain - h _w interaction enthalpy of one water molecule - H ₀ intercept for the extrapolated enthalpy     

Solubility of oxygen, carbon dioxide and water in semifluorinated alkanes and in perfluorooctylbromide by molecular simulation

Solubilities of oxygen, carbon dioxide and water in substituted fluorocarbons perfluoroctylethane (PFOE), perfluorohexylethane (PFHE), perfluorohexylhexane (PFHH) and perfluoroalkylbromide (PFOB) were studied by computer simulation, between 293 and 313 K at 1 bar. The solubilities do not show a marked temperature dependence, are similar in all solvents and have values of the order of 4×10⁻³ for oxygen, 2×10⁻² for carbon dioxide and 3×10⁻⁶ for water, in mole fraction. The gases are slightly less soluble in PFHE when compared with the other solvents, whereas water is slightly more soluble in this liquid. The solubilities were obtained from Henry’s law coefficients, in turn derived from residual chemical potentials of the solutes at infinite dilution obtained by molecular simulation techniques using full atomistic force fields.     

Challenges for the utilization of methane as a chemical feedstock

The abundance of methane has led to a strong interest to use methane as a feedstock in the chemical industry. One of the main challenges is the initial activation of the methane molecule. This has resulted in the development of several different approaches to utilize methane, some more developed than others. In this work the current status of the different approaches is discussed and the main issues for industrial utilization described. A special focus of this work is the status of catalyst development.     

Solubility of carbon dioxide,methane, and ethane in 1-butanol and saturated liquid densities and viscosities

A designed pressure–volume–temperature (PVT) apparatus has been used to measure the (vapor + liquid) equilibrium properties of three binary mixtures (methane +, ethane +, and carbon dioxide + 1-butanol) at two temperatures (303 and 323) K and at the pressures up to 6 MPa. The solubility of the compressed gases in 1-butanol and the saturated liquid densities and viscosities were measured. In addition, the density and viscosity of pure 1-butanol were measured at two temperatures (303 and 323) K and at the pressures up to 10 MPa. The experimental results show that the solubility of the gases in 1-butanol increases with pressure and decreases with temperature. The dissolution of gases in 1-butanol causes a decline in the viscosity of liquid phase. The saturated liquid density follows a decreasing trend with the solubility of methane and ethane. However, the dissolution of carbon dioxide in 1-butanol leads to an increase in the density of liquid phase. The experimental data are well correlated with Soave–Redlich–Kwong (SRK) and Peng–Robinson (PR) equations of state (EOSs). SRK EOS was slightly superior for correlating the saturated liquid densities.     

The solubility of water in mixtures of dimethyl ether and carbon dioxide

This paper reports measurements of the solubility of water in liquid and supercritical fluid mixtures of dimethyl ether and carbon dioxide. The measurements were made by extracting water under saturation conditions using premixed liquid dimethyl ether–carbon dioxide mixtures. Results are reported for temperatures of 313.8 K and 333.3 K at 9.0 MPa and 15.0 MPa. Results are fitted to the Peng–Robinson cubic equation of state with mixing rules according to Wong and Sandler, using binary interaction parameters fitted to the literature data for the respective binary systems: dimethyl ether–water; dimethyl ether–carbon dioxide; and carbon dioxide–water. Liquid densities for dimethyl ether–carbon dioxide mixtures, measured using a coriolis flow instrument, are also reported.     

Solubility and thermodynamics of carbon dioxide in aqueous ethanol solutions

Solubilities of carbon dioxide in aqueous ethanol solutions, determined at 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35°C at atmospheric pressure, show a minimum at each temperature. Thermodynamics functions for the solution process were calculated and compared with the predictions of the Pierotti gas solubility theory. The abnormal behavior of these solutions is demonstrated.     

Heterogeneous Suzuki and copper-free Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by a reusable palladium(II) complex in water medium

A new polystyrene anchored Pd(II) azo complex has been synthesized and characterized. The present Pd(II) azo complex behaves as a very efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the Suzuki coupling and Sonogashira coupling reaction in water medium. Aryl halides, coupled with phenylboronic acids (Suzuki-Miyaura reaction) or terminal alkyne (Sonogashira reaction), smoothly afford the corresponding cross-coupling products in excellent yields (83-100% yield for Suzuki reaction and 68-96% yield for Sonogashira reaction of aryl halides) under phosphine-free reaction conditions in the presence of polystyrene anchored Pd(II) azo complex catalyst in water medium. Furthermore, the catalyst has shown good thermal stability and recyclability. This polymer-supported Pd(II) catalyst could be easily recovered by simple filtration of the reaction mixture and reused for more than six consecutive trials without a significant loss of its catalytic activity.     

The Solubility and Solvation of Salts in Mixed Nonaqueous Solvents. 2. Potassium Halides in Mixed Protic Solvents

The solubilities of potassium fluoride, chloride, and bromide in ethanol, formamide, and N-methylformamide and in binary mixtures of these solvents were determined at 25°C. The standard molar Gibbs energies of solution, Δ_soln G ^o, in the neat solvents were related to their hydrogen bonding abilities. The values of Δ_soln G ^o in the mixtures were fitted with expressions of the quasilattice quasichemical theory, and the preferential solvation of the ions was thereby established.

Solubility of gases in liquids. XVI. Henry's law coefficients for nitrogen in water at 5 to 50°C

The solubility of nitrogen in pure liquid water was measured in the pressure range 45 to 115 kPa and in the temperature range 5 to 50°C. These data are used to obtain Henry coefficients H _2,1 (T,P _s,1 ) at the vapor pressure P _s,1 of water. The temperature dependence of H _2,1 (T,P _s,1 ) is accounted for by both a Clarke-Glew (CG) type fitting equation, and a power series in T^–1, as suggested by Benson and Krause (BK). The imprecision of our measurements is characterized by an average deviation of ±0.038% from a four-term CG equation, and by an average deviation of ±0.042% from a three-term BK equation. From the temperature variation of H _2,1 (T,P _s,1 ) partial molar quantities referring to the solution process, such as enthalpies and heat capacities of solution, are obtained. They are given in tabular form, together with H _2,1 (T,P _s,1 ) and derived Ostwald coefficients L, at rounded temperatures. Finally, experimental results are compared with values calculated via scaled particle theory.     

Solubility and preferential solvation of indomethacin in 1,4-dioxane + water solvent mixtures

The solubilities of indomethacin (IMC) in 1,4-dioxane + water cosolvent mixtures were determined at several temperatures, 293.15–313.15 K. The thermodynamic functions: Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy of solution and of mixing were obtained from these data by using the van’t Hoff and Gibbs equations. The solubility was maximal in 0.95 mass fraction of 1,4-dioxane and very low in pure water at all the temperatures. A non-linear plot of ΔH_soln ° vs. ΔG_soln ° with negative slope from pure water up to 0.60 mass fraction of 1,4-dioxane and positive beyond this up to 0.95 mass fraction of 1,4-dioxane was obtained. Accordingly, the driving mechanism for IMC solubility in water-rich mixtures is the entropy, probably due to water-structure loss around the drug non-polar moieties by 1,4-dioxane, whereas, above 0.60 mass fraction of 1,4-dioxane the driving mechanism is the enthalpy, probably due to IMC solvation increase by the co-solvent molecules. The preferential solvation of IMC by the components of the solvent was estimated by means of the quasi-lattice quasi-chemical method, whereas the inverse Kirkwood-Buff integral method could not be applied because of divergence of the integrals in intermediate compositions.     

Transfer Thermodynamics of Protein in Denaturing and Stabilizing Media

Free energies of transfer (ΔG_t) of RibonucleaseA (RNaseA) from water to aqueous solutions of urea (4 M, 6 M and 8 M), a protein denaturing solvent as well as ΔG_t of RibonucleaseA, β‐Lactoglobulin, α‐Chymotripsin and ChymotrypsinogenA from water to aqueous glycerol (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%), a protein stabilizing solvent has been dissected into cavity term [ΔG_t(cav)] and interaction term [ΔG_t(int)]. The interaction free energy includes all types of interactions like hard‐soft, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, etc. The cavity forming free energies have been calculated using the standard version of scaled particle theory (SPT) with well‐reported SPT parameters. It has been found that transfer free energies of cavity terms ΔG_t(cav) for native protein from water to urea‐water and water to aqueous glycerol follow almost opposite trends. This primarily indicates there may be some correlation between cavity creation energies and protein denaturing and stabilizing ability of a solvent. The results are in agreement with those obtained from preferential binding coefficient studies in these media.     

Cross-flow microfiltration system for rapid enrichment of bacteria in water

Permanent monitoring of waterborne pathogens is important for securing the hygiene of water. Enumerating bacteria in water at low concentrations and minute quantities demands rapid and efficient enrichment methods in order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of subsequent determination methods. In this work an automated cross-flow microfiltration (CFM) system is presented which is usable in the field to concentrate large volumes of environmental water for analytical purposes. It was designed as a rapid enrichment apparatus achieving high recovery and high concentration factors. The efficiency of the CFM system was studied for E. coli spiked in a 10-L tap water sample. By this technique, a 10-L water sample was concentrated by a factor of 200 in 15 min. The high and consistent recovery of 91.3 ± 5.4% living cells in the concentration range 0.01 and 100 cfu mL⁻¹ is suitable for rapid enumeration of bacteria in water.     

Analysis of the effect mechanism of water and CH4 concentration on gas explosion in confined space

In order to study the effect of water and CH₄ concentration on gas explosion, a 20L spherical explosive device was used to carry out a water-containing gas explosion experiment, and the explosion simulation was carried out with CHEMKIN-PRO, the mechanism of water on gas explosion was analyzed from the perspective of free radicals and energy. The results showed that the upper limit of gas explosion, maximum explosion pressure and temperature decreased significantly with the increase of water content. The higher the concentration of CH₄, the more obvious the inhibitory effect of water on gas explosion pressure, and the optimal explosion concentration of CH₄ decreased with the increase of water content. As the water content and CH₄ concentration increase, the residual CH₄ content increases after the explosion, the O₂ content decreases, and the CO content produced increases. When the CH₄ concentration is lower than the optimal concentration, water promotes the formation of CO₂ to a certain extent; when the CH₄ concentration is higher than the optimal explosive concentration, the CO₂ content decreases with the increase of water content. Overall, water inhibits methane explosion, the addition of water on the one hand reduces the concentration of active free radicals H, O, OH, on the other hand, it interferes with the generation of gas explosion energy and consumes the kinetic energy of the gas explosion flame shock wave through heat absorption, thus inhibiting the intensity of gas explosion.     

Solubility of celecoxib in carbitol + water mixtures at various temperatures: experimental data and mathematical modelling

ABSTRACT

A brief review on various solubilisation techniques of coxibs is provided and the solubility of celecoxib (CXB) in binary solvent mixtures of {carbitol (1) + water (2)} is reported at temperatures ranging from 298.2 to 313.2 K. Three cosolvency models, i.e. Yalkowsky model, Jouyban–Acree model and the Jouyban–Acree–van’t Hoff model, have been used for correlating the reported data, and the mean relative deviations are employed to evaluate the accuracy of the fitness. Solubilities are also predicted by the generally trained version of the Jouyban–Acree model and its combined model with Abraham solute parameters previously proposed for {carbitol (1) + water (2)} binary mixtures. Furthermore, the apparent thermodynamic properties of dissolution process of CXB in all -investigated solvents were calculated according to van’t Hoff and Gibbs equations.
