Solubility of benzoic acid in acetone, 2-propanol,acetic acid and cyclohexane: Experimental measurement and thermodynamic modeling

In this study the solubility of benzoic acid in acetone, 2-propanol, acetic acid and cyclohexane was experimentally determined over the temperature range of (277–346) K at around 5 K intervals by employing a gravimetric method. The experimental results showed that acetone had the best solubility for benzoic acid followed by 2-propanol, acetic acid and cyclohexane and the solubility in acetic acid had the strongest positive temperature dependency. The newly measured solubility data was also compared with the available literature data. Several commonly used thermodynamic models, including the empirical Van’t Hoff equation, the λh equation, the Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC equations, were applied to correlate the experimental solubility data. The adjustable parameters for each model were optimized by fitting the solubility data measured in this work. It was found that the three-parameter NRTL equation could give the best correlation results. Better predictions of the solubility of benzoic acid in acetic acid at higher temperature were observed using the Wilson and UNIQUAC equations than the other three equations which all gave underestimations.

Kinetics of the Ruthenium-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Acetic Acid to Ethanol

The ruthanium-catalyzed hydrogenation of acetic acid to ethanol was conducted at 140–230° under hydrogen pressure of 40.8–81.6 atm with a catalyst loading of 4 g/L. The best rate expression to fit the experimental results is Kinetic data at 230° were obtained with an average error of 7%. It is concluded that the rate limiting step is the first addition of hydrogen to acetic acid to produce aldehyde and water as the intermediates. The activation energy is 12.7 kcal/mole.     

Influence of the transport direction on gas permeation in two-layer ceramic membranes

Experimental and theoretical results of studying gas permeation through porous membranes are presented. In order to mimic an asymmetric membrane two porous ceramic disks with different pore radii were arranged in series. Besides the possibility to perform conventional permeation measurements, the applied experimental setup permits the determination of the pressure at the interface between the two discs. To predict the performance of the asymmetric structure, in preliminary experiments structure parameters were determined for both membranes separately. For the same total pressure difference across the two-disk arrangement, different interlayer pressures and fluxes were predicted and detected experimentally depending on the flow direction.     

Effect of Support and Acidity of Catalyst on the Direct Oxidation of Ethylene to Acetic Acid

The selective oxidation of ethylene to acetic acid was investigated on Pd-acid/ support catalyst system. The catalytic activity is influenced strongly by the acidity of the catalyst. The stronger the catalyst acidity the higher the catalytic activity. The nature of the support also influences the activity of the catalyst substantially. The catalyst has highest activity when it exhibits highest acidity on silica.     

Study on permeation behavior and chemical degradation of PA66 in acid solution

In many polymers under corrosive liquids, degradation followed after permeation of environmental solution for a long period. The permeation rate of environmental solution, in many cases, is very low in corrosion-resistant polymeric materials. Therefore, the observation of the permeation of environmental solution and degradation of polymeric materials are very difficult in practical application. A simulation of permeation of solution is required in order to understand the permeation behavior of environmental solution and polymer degradation. A detailed analysis of the permeation behavior of solution accompanied by chemical reaction is important to study for improving the lifetime of polymers. Polyamide 66 (PA66) and sulfuric acid solution were used to investigate the quantitative study of permeation of environmental solution and its relation to degradation of polymeric materials. Correlation between diffusion process and degradation of PA66 related to the decrease of weight average molecular weight was defined. The diffusion rate of sulfuric acid solution was found to increase by decreasing weight average molecular weight of PA66 due to the established chain scission by hydrolysis reaction. The permeation of sulfuric acid solution that affected the decomposition reaction was modeled and quantitative evaluation of permeation of sulfuric acid was established.

Effect of acid on morphology of calcite during acid enhanced defluoridation

Fluoride removal from water by lime materials is a promising defluoridation process. Acid enhanced limestone defluoridation (AELD) technique involves precipitation of CaF₂ as well as adsorption of fluoride on the surface of limestone which is capable of reducing fluoride concentration to below the WHO guideline value of 1.5 mg/L. Acids such as acetic acid and citric acid are added to the fluoride water before filtration through limestone column to enhance the Ca²⁺ activity in solution for precipitation of fluoride as CaF₂. This paper describes the effects of these acids on the quality of the limestone during the AELD process, which has been studied to evaluate the reusability of the limestone. The reaction products that formed during the AELD process have also been analyzed. The detail study of the morphology of the limestone before and after use have been done using various analytical techniques, viz., X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The study reveals that the limestone degrades to some extent in the process due to dissolution of calcium carbonate by the acids and adsorption of fluoride by the limestone. While appreciable quantity of the citrate salt of calcium was formed in the column, the acetate salt mostly remained dissolved in the water. Since mainly the surface of the limestone particles take part in the reaction, the limestone particles can be reused for the defluoridation process after cleaning the outer surface. The limestone after use remains also suitable as raw material for cement.     

Differential permeation — Part I: A method for the study of solvent diffusion through membranes

We describe the differential permeation method for the study of the diffusion of solvents from a liquid (or liquid mixture) through flat or tubular membranes. This method consists of measuring the transient permeation rates through the membrane when one of its faces is suddenly put into contact with the liquid medium. The change in the transient rate with time is analyzed by numerical best fitting methods to determine the Fickian diffusion coefficient. A simplified equation is proposed for the fitting of the response of a tubular membrane. Deviations from the Fickian transport mechanism with concentration-independent diffusion coefficient can be evidenced and eventually analyzed by using other mechanistic models.

二甲基亚砜对乙酸气相色谱保留时间的影响及其机理

通过气相色谱、红外光谱分析和量子化学计算,探究溶于二甲基亚砜（DMSO）中乙酸保留时间发生波动的原因。 结果显示,乙酸保留时间变化与DMSO体积等量递增呈线性关系,R²=0.99301;根据红外光谱分析得出,DMSO和乙酸之间生成了氢键,以DMSO-乙酸分子的形式通过色谱柱;根据Gaussian09程序计算结果,DMSO电子密度大的部分给予电子,与乙酸之间形成了氢键,而DMSO电子密度小的部分容易获得电子与具有强偶极矩的色谱柱固定液聚乙二醇产生作用力,吸附在固定液上。因此,在上述一系列复杂的分子间作用力的共同影响下,乙酸保留时间发生了波动,且随着溶剂DMSO体积比增加,乙酸保留时间不断延长。     

甲酸,乙酸或水单一溶剂的偶极矩与盐浓度的关系

近十几年来,汽液平衡盐效应的研究一直是国内外十分活跃的课题.但是,对于多组分含盐体系,特别是多组分羧酸体系,如甲酸-乙酸-水-盐体系的汽液平衡盐效应研究报道甚少。一方面因为多元汽液平衡盐效应的测定较难;另一方面由于盐的加入,使原来的强极性、强缔合的羧酸体系变得更为复杂,给热力学关联带来了困难.尽管有的关联方法引入盐后引起偶极矩改变,且使偏心因子产生相应变化,但在实验上并未得到偶极矩随盐浓度定量变化的关系。

Phosphomolybdic acid supported on silica gel and promoted with alkali metal ions as catalysts for the esterification of acetic acid by ethanol

Different ratios of phosphomolybdic acid PMA supported on silica gel (1–30 wt%) and promoted with alkali metal hydroxide have been prepared by an impregnation method and calcinated at 350 °C for 4 h. The catalysts were characterized by thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and N₂ adsorption measurements. The surface acidity and basicity of the catalysts were determined by adsorption of pyridine and the dehydration–dehydrogenation of 2-propanol. The gas-phase esterification of acetic acid by ethanol was carried out in a conventional flow bed reactor. The results clearly revealed that among the PMA loading, the use of 10 wt% catalyst showed maximum yield of ethyl acetate. This catalyst also improved on addition of Na or K-hydroxide. These results were correlated with the structure and the acid–base properties of the prepared catalysts.
