Vapour—liquid equilibrium at elevated pressures from the perturbation theory. II. Binary systems

Vapour—liquid equilibria in binary systems of non-polar non-spherical molecule compounds were studied theoretically by combining the perturbation theory of convex molecule fluids with a new variant of the conformal solution theory. The recently proposed equation of state of hard convex body mixtures and the corresponding expressions for the contact values of distribution functions were employed to determine the reference thermodynamic functions and the perturbation terms. Ten binary systems, i.e. ArCH₄, N₂CH₄, N₂C₂H₄, N₂C₂H₆, CH₄C₂H₄, CH₄C₂H₆, C₂H₄C₂H₆, CO₂C₂H₄, CO₂C₂H₆, and ArCO₂ were studied at constant temperatures. Comparison of theoretical predictions with experimental data is given.     

Hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon solubility and dilation in poly(dimethylsiloxane): Comparison of experimental data with predictions of the Sanchez–Lacombe equation of state

Sorption and dilation isotherms are reported for a series of gases (N₂, O₂, CO₂), hydrocarbon vapors (CH₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₈), and their fluorocarbon analogs (CF₄, C₂F₆, C₃F₈) in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) at 35°C and pressures up to 27 atmospheres. The hydrocarbons are significantly more soluble in hydrocarbon-based PDMS than their fluorocarbon analogs. Infinite dilution partial molar volumes of both hydrocarbons and fluorocarbons in PDMS were similar to their partial molar volumes in other hydrocarbon polymers and in organic liquids. Except for C₂H₆ and C₃H₈, partial molar volume was independent of penetrant concentration. For these penetrants, partial molar volume increased with increasing concentration. The Sanchez–Lacombe equation of state is used to predict gas solubility and polymer dilation. If the Sanchez–Lacombe model is used with no adjustable parameters, solubility is always overpredicted. The extent of overprediction is more substantial for fluorocarbon penetrants than for hydrocarbons. Very good fits of the model to the experimental sorption and dilation data are obtained when the mixture interaction parameter is treated as an adjustable parameter. For the hydrocarbons, the interaction parameter is approximately 0.96, and for the fluorocarbons, it is approximately 0.87. These values suggest less favorable interactions between the hydrocarbon-based PDMS matrix and the fluorocarbon penetrants than between PDMS and hydrocarbons. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

(p, ϱ, T) for {(1−x)C6H6 + xC6D6} and {(1−x)C6H6 + xC6F6} in the range 298 to 373 K and 0.1 to 400 MPa

The behaviour of (p, ?, T) for C₆H₆, C₆F₆, and five mixtures, and of C₆D₆ and (0.5C₆H₆ + 0.5C₆D₆) has been determined at 298.2, 323.2, 348.2, and 373.2 K, and from 0.1 MPa, or saturation pressure, to the point of onset of solidification or to 400 MPa. The experimental results are tabulated and the isothermal densities are represented by a polynomial equation for the secant bulk modulus in terms of the pressure. The temperature and pressure dependence of the molar excess volume is described.     

Sorption and partial molar volume of gases in polybutadiene

Sorption of He, H₂, N₂, O₂, Ar, CH₄, C₂H₆, and C₂H₆ in polybutadiene and the dilation of the polymer due to sorption of the gases are investigated over the pressure range 0-50 atm at 25°C. For CO₂ the measurements are made at temperatures ranging from 15 to 80°C. Partial molar volumes of the gases in the polymer are determined. The temperature dependence of partial molar volume is discussed on the basis of the data for CO₂. The Flory-Huggins interaction parameters of CO₂, C₂H₄, and C₂H₆ are also estimated.     

On the use of the variational method for interpreting the solubilities of gases in liquids

The Variational theory of mixtures due to Mansoori and Leland is modified to account for translational quantum effects in solution, and this modified form of the theory is applied to the problem of gas solubilities in liquids. The theory is used to derive expressions for the Henry's law constant, the molar heat of solution at infinite dilution, and the partial molar volume at infinite dilution for a solute in a liquid solution. These expressions are applied, over a range of temperatures, to the following systems; H₂ in each of Ar, N₂, and CH₄; He in each of Ar, N₂, and CH₄; and Ne in each of Ar and N₂. Lennard-Jones 6–12 pair potentials are used for these calculations. The Lennard-Jones parameters are taken from gas-phase second virial coefficient data. The results obtained are compared with experimental data and with previous calculations on these systems based on the Leonard-Henderson-Barker theory. The variational results appear to be in better agreement with experiment for the He-containing systems, while the Leonard-Henderson-Barker theory seems better for the other systems. An explanation for this is suggested.     

Sorption and partial molar volumes of gases in poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate)

Sorption and dilation properties of polymer-gas systems involving poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) and N₂, CH₄, or CO₂, have been investigated at pressures up to 50 atm at temperatures of 10–40°C. Sorption isotherms for low-solubility gases (i.e., CH₄ and N₂) can be described by Henry's law, and those for high-solubility gas (i.e., CO₂) by Flory-Huggins dissolution equation. Dilation isotherms are similar in contour to the corresponding sorption isotherms. From the obtained sorption and dilation data, partial molar volumes of the gases in the polymer were determined as a function of temperature. Thermal expansivity of dissolved CO₂ molecules was estimated at ca. 2.4 × 10^?3°C^?1 from the temperature dependence of partial molar volume. The expansivity is smaller than that of liquid CO₂ and larger than those of the polymer and organic liquids. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Bulk cyclopolymerization of 1,2:5,6‐diepithio‐3,4‐di‐O‐methyl‐1,2:5,6‐tetradeoxy‐D‐mannitol with quaternary ammonium salts leading to gel‐free thiosugar polymer

The bulk cyclopolymerization of diepisulfide, 1,2:5,6‐diepithio‐3,4‐di‐O‐methyl‐1,2:5,6‐tetradeoxy‐D ‐mannitol ( 1 ), was studied using R₄N⁺Br^? (R = ? CH₃, C₂H₅, C₃H₇, C₄H₉, and C₇H₁₅) and (C₄H₉)₄N⁺X^? (X = Cl, I, NO₃, and ClO₄) as the initiators. All the bulk polymerizations of 1 using quaternary tetraalkylammonium salts at 90 °C proceeded without gelation even at high conversion to produce gel‐free polymers consisting of 2,5‐anhydro‐1,5‐dithio‐D ‐glucitol (I) as the major cyclic repeating unit along with 1,5‐anhydro‐2,5‐dithio‐D ‐mannitol (II) and the desulfurized acyclic unit (III) as the minor units. The polymerization rate and molar fraction of the I unit increased with the increasing alkyl chain length of the tetraalkylammonium cation and the increasing nucleophilicity of the counteranion. Tetrabutylammonium chloride exhibited the highest catalytic activity and the highest stereoselectivity, that is, the thiosugar polymer with I:II:III = 81:15:4 and a number‐average molecular weight of 31.9 × 10³ was obtained in 85% yield for a polymerization time of 0.5 h. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Properties of new inorganic membranes prepared by metal alkoxide methods Part II: New inorganic-organic anion-exchange membranes prepared by the modified metal alkoxide methods with silane coupling agents

Four types of inorganic-organic anion exchangeable membranes were prepared on a microporous alumina substrate by dipcoating with solution containing Si(OC₂H₅)₄, C₂H₅OH, H₂O, CH₃COOH, two silane coupling agents in molar ratio 1:6.8:2:0.03:0.02, and on a silica membrane by liquid-phase coupling method with two solutions containing C₆H₅CH₃, H₂O, 2-(trimethoxysilyl)ethyl-2-pyridine in molar ratio 11:0.06:0.04 or C₂H₅OH, H₂O, N-trimethoxysilylpropyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride in molar ratio 21:0.06:0.06. The alumina substrate and silica membrane showed cation exchangeability, but membranes dip-coated and liquid-phase coupled showed anion exchangeability and their ion-exchange capacity per unit area of membrane surface were in the range 4–9 × 10⁻³ meq. cm⁻². The static transport number for liquid-phase coupled membranes was in the range of 0.6–0.9, but for dip-coated membranes it was 0.5.     

Nonisothermal membrane phenomena across perfluorosulfonic acid-type membranes,Flemion S: part I. Thermoosmosis and transported entropy of water

Solvent transports across the perfluorosulfonic acid-type membrane Flemion S were measured for aqueous electrolyte solutions under a temperature difference and under an osmotic pressure difference. H⁺, Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, NH ₄ ⁺ , CH₃NH ₃ ⁺ , (CH₃)₂NH ₂ ⁺ , (CH₃)₃NH⁺, (CH₃)₄N⁺, (C₂H₅)₄N⁺, (n-C₃H₇)₄N⁺ and (n-C₄H₉)₄N⁺ were used as counterions. Water flux across the membrane in HCl solution is higher than that in the other electrolyte solutions because hydrogen ions can exchange with the hydrogen of the neighbor water molecules and contribute to the water transport across the membrane as a proton jump in conductivity. The direction of thermoosmosis across the membrane in HCl, NaCl, (CH₃)₄NCl and (C₂H₅)₄NCl solutions was from the cold side to the hot side and that in LiCl, KCl, NH₄Cl, CH₃NH₃Cl, (CH₃)₂NH₂Cl and (n-C₄H₉)₄NBr solutions was from the hot side to the cold side, although thermoosmosis across anion-exchange membranes always occurs toward the hot side.     

Zur Koordinationschemie des Rhenium(VII). V. Trioxo-trichlororhenate(VII) mit stickstoffhaltigen Kationen

Coordination Chemistry of Rhenium(VII). V. Trioxotrichlororhenates(VII) with Nitrogen-containing Cations Complex compounds of the composition A₂ReO₃C₃ were obtained by reaction of ReO₃Cl with the chlorides ACl (A = (CH₃)₄N⁺, (C₂H₅)₄N⁺, PyH⁺, ChinH⁺ (CH₃)₃NH⁺ and CH₃Py⁺) in inert solvents. It has been decuced from the Re? O stretching vibrations of the IR spectra, that the anion ReO₃Cl in connection with the cations (CH₃)₄N⁺ resp. (C₂H₅)₄N⁺ has the symmetry C_3v (cis-configuration). It is probable, that in cations including a NH-group a decrease of the symmetry towards C_s arises by means of the hydrogen bondings.     

Ionic association and mobility. III. Ionophores in propylene carbonate at 25°C

Conductance data are reported for (CH₃)₄NPF₆, (C₂H₅)₄NPF6, PyrHPic, (CH₃)₄NBF₄, and (C₇H₁₅)₄NPic in propylene carbonate at 25°C in the concentration range (4–16)×10^?4 M. The data for salts other than (C₂H₅)₄NPF₆ were analyzed by the Justice modification of the Fuoss-Hsia equation and these salts were found to be associated and to form solvent separated ion pairs. The data for (C₂H₅)₄NPF₆ which was found to be nonassociated were analyzed by use of the Fuoss-Onsager equation. Application of the Justice-Barthel procedure permitted calculation of the nonCoulombic contribution to the association process. Ionic limiting conductances of several ions were calculated by using known ionic limiting conductances of R₄N⁺ and Pic^? ions and molar conductances reported here.     

Deposition of Diamondlike Carbon Film and Mass Spectrometry Measurement in CH4/N2 RF Plasma

The deposition of diamondlike carbon (DLC) film and the measurements of ionic species by means of mass spectrometry were carried out in a CH₄/N₂ RF (13.56 MHz) plasma at 0.1 Torr. The film deposition rate greatly depended on both CH₄/N₂ composition ratio and RF power input. It was decreased monotonically as CH₄ content decreased in the plasma and then rapidly diminished to negligible amounts at a critical CH₄ content, which became large for higher RF power. The rate increased with increasing RF power, reaching a maximum value in 40% CH₄ plasma. The predominant ionic products in CH₄/N₂ plasma were NH⁺ ₄ and CH₄N⁺ ions, which were produced by reactions of hydrocarbon ions, such as CH⁺ ₃, CH⁺ ₂, CH⁺ ₅, and C₂H⁺ ₅ with NH₃ molecules in the plasma. It was speculated that the production of NH⁺ ₄ ion induced the decrease of C₂H⁺ ₅ ion density in the plasma, which caused a reduction in higher hydrocarbon ions densities and, accordingly, in film deposition rate. The N⁺ ₂ ion sputtering also plays a major role in a reduction of film deposition rate for relatively large RF powers. The incorporation of nitrogen atoms into the bonding network of the DLC film deposited was greatly suppressed at present gas pressure conditions.     

Synthesis,structural characterization,and in vitro antimicrobial properties of salicylate and pyrazoline complexes of bismuth(III)

Displacement reactions of dichlorobismuth(III)pyrazolinates with oxygen donors such as sodium salicylate and acetate in 1?:?1 and 1?:?2 molar ratio in refluxing anhydrous benzene yields (C₁₂H₁₅N₂OX)Bi(C₆H₄O₃), (CH₃COO)BiCl(C₁₅H₁₂N₂OX), and (CH₃COO)₂Bi(C₁₅H₁₂N₂OX) [C₁₂H₁₅N₂OX?=?3(2′-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(4-X-substituted phenyl) pyrazoline X?=?H in 1,5,9, CH₃ in 2,6,10, OCH₃ in 3,7,11, and Cl in 4,8,12, respectively, (C₆H₄O₃)?=?salicylate and (CH₃COO)?=?acetate]. Newly synthesized derivatives are brown solids, soluble in organic solvents like benzene, chloroform, and acetone. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N, Cl, and Bi), molecular weight measurements, and spectral (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR) studies. The (C₁₂H₁₅N₂OX) and (C₆H₄O₃) are bidentate while (CH₃COO) is monodentate to bismuth(III), leading to a distorted trigonal bipyramidal structure. The complexes were screened against different bacteria and fungi showing potential antibacterial and antifungal activities.     

A Correlation of the Chemistry with the Polymerization Rate in an rf Discharge of Methane

In a 150-V methane discharge, the rate of polymerization is approximately 3 times greater on the electrodes than on the walls. The sum of the C₁ and C₂ ions is 2 to 3 times higher in the dark space adjacent to the electrodes than in the space adjacent to the walls. Ethylene and acetylene are present in about equal amounts in all regions of the discharge. It is concluded that the ions C₂H₃ ⁺, C₂H₂ ⁺, CH₃ ⁺CH₈ ⁺, and CH⁺ have the greatest influence on the rate of polymerization, while the neutrals CH₄, C₂H₂, C₂H₄, and C₂H₆ have the least influence.     

Sorption and partial molar volume of gases in poly (dimethyl siloxane)

Sorption of N₂, O₂, Ar, CH₄, CO₂, C₂H₄, and C₂H₆ in poly (dimethyl siloxane) liquid and rubber and the dilation of the polymers due to sorption of the gases are studied at 25°C under pressures up to 50 atm. In the liquid, the sorption isotherms for low-solubility and high-solubility gases are described by Henry's law and the Flory–Huggins equation, respectively. Gas sorption in the rubber, which contains a 29 wt % silica filler, follows the dual-mode sorption model, though marked hysteresis is observed in the sorption of O₂ and CH₄. The dilation isotherms increase linearly or exponentially in both polymers with increasing pressure. Considering that gas molecules adsorbed into micropores of the filler particles do not participate in the dilation, partial molar volumes of the dissolved gases in the rubber are determined from data of sorption and dilation. The values are nearly equal to the partial molar volumes in the liquid (48–60 cm³/mol).     

Quelques precisions sur les effets catalytiques des micelles cationiques hydroxylees

The alkaline hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate and of CH₃CO₂(CH₂)₂N⁺(CH₃)₂C₁₆H₃₃, Br^? was studied in the presence of micelles C₁₆H₃₃N⁺(CH₃)₂CH₂CH₂OH, Br^? and CTAB, C₁₆H₃₃N⁺(CH₃)₃,Br^?. A pathway involving an intermediate is suggested for the hydrolysis of the ester. Hydrolysis rate of the intermediate in the presence of micelles is the same as hydrolysis rate for the ester in the absence of micelles. Consequently, hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate is not catalysed by one type of micelle, while it is enhanced by another type of micelle.     

Average dipole polarizabilities from the unsold approximation and ab initio data

An approximate static dipole polarizability equation is developed on the basis of the Unsold approximation, and is cast in closed shell LCAO MO SCF formalism. A brief study is made of the use of Koopmans' theorem as a means of obtaining an average ionization energy, necessary in the polarizability equation presented. Average polarizabilities for the systems He, Ne, H₂, HF, H₂O, NH₂, CH₄, HCN, N₂, C₂H₂, C₂H₄, C₂H₆, C₆H₆, and C₆H₅F are calculated from the dipole polarizability expression developed using a small 4-31G basis set level. Results show good agreement with experimental data.     

Kinetics and equilibrium of adsorption on 4A zeolite

Adsorption isotherms for Ar, 0₂, N₂, CO, CO₂, CH₄, and C₂H₆ on 4A zeolite at three or more temperatures were determined. An adsorption equation based on a 2-dimensional virial equation in terms of integer powers of the reciprocal of (A - σ) was shown to fit the equilibrium data accurately with three constants for C₂H₆ and two constants for other gases. Here A is the area per molecule and σ is the area of the molecule in a close-packed situation.Rates of adsorption and desorption of Ar, N₂, CO, CH₄, and C₂H₆ on 4A zeolite were determined over ranges of temperature in which the rate was moderately fast. Electron microscopy showed that the particles were cubes, and their size-distribution was determined. The conventional Fick's law rate equation for cubes was used to produce a generalized rate curve for the particle size distribution of the adsorbent. This curve was applied to the last 20% of the rate curve to obtain a diffusivity that could be related to the final amount adsorbed. This procedure also avoids the initial rapid portion of the adsorption, in which large variations of adsorbent temperature from that of the bath often occur.The diffusivities increased with amount adsorbed by a small extent for Ar and CH₄ and by larger amounts for N₂, CO, and C₂H₆. The activation energy for diffusion, as well as the heat of adsorption, were nearly independent of amount adsorbed for Ar and CH₄, but these quantities decreased substantially with coverage for N₂, CO, and C₂H₆. The dependence upon amount adsorbed of diffusivity and activation energy seemed related to the shape of the adsorption isotherm; those for Ar and CH₄ were nearly linear, whereas isotherms for the other gases had large curvatures. The activation energy for diffusion varied with coverage in the same way as heat of adsorption.     

Adsorption of natural gas and its whole components on adsorbents

Adsorption of each component of natural gas on adsorbent prepared from petroleum coke was studied. At 25 °C and 3.5 MPa, adsorption capacity of the components of natural gas are as follows: C₃H₈, H₂S(0.980) > CO₂(0.691) > C₂H₆(0.160) > CH₄(0.136) > N₂(0.096) (g/g). For natural gas, adsorption capacity is 145.2 (mL/mL) and delivery capacity is 105.7 (mL/mL). One equation between adsorption capacity and boiling point of adsorbed gas was firstly generalized. The adsorption capacity of different component like O₂, N₂, CH₄, C₂H₆, CO₂, H₂S on adsorbents were predicted using the equation. The results fit well with the experimental data. The equation has significance in predicting the adsorption capacity for any component of natural gas. Charge-discharge tests were conducted 10 times, the result indicates that natural gas has significantly worse reversibility in adsorption and desorption in the adsorbent than that of CH₄. The contents of the components after 10 charge-discharge show that the adsorption capacity drop of natural gas is due to the irreversible adsorption of heavy or polar components like C₃H₈, H₂S.     

Mixing Behavior of Conventional and Gemini Cationic Surfactants

Micellization behavior of cationic monomeric surfactants, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB), and dimeric (gemini) cationic surfactant pentamethylene‐1, 5‐bis(hexadecyldimethylammonium bromide) with formula C₁₆H₃₃(CH₃)₂N⁺(CH₂)₅N⁺(CH₃)₂C₁₆H₃₃ · 2Br^?, abbreviated as 16‐5‐16, in mixed states (binary) have been studied by conductivity. The micellar compositions, activities of the components, and their mutual interactions have been estimated from Rubingh's theory. The mixtures show nonideal behavior with favorable interactions.
