The diffusion of CO2, CH4, C2H4, and C3H8 in polyethylene at elevated pressures

Diffusion and solubility coefficients have been determined for the CO₂^?, CH₄^?, C₂H₄^?, and C₃H₈-polyethylene systems at temperatures of 5, 20, and 35°C and at gas pressures up to 40 atm. Diffusion coefficients were obtained from rates of gas absorption in polyethylene rods under isothermal-isobaric conditions by means of a new diffusivity apparatus. The concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficients was represented satisfactorily by Fujita's free-volume model, modified for semicrystalline polymers, while the solubility of all the penetrants in polyethylene was within the limit of Henry's law. Semiempirical correlations were found for the free-volume parameters in terms of physicochemical properties of the penetrant gases and the penetrant-polymer systems. These correlations, if confirmed, should permit the prediction of diffusion and permeability coefficients of other gases and of gas mixtures in polyethylene as functions of pressure and temperature.     

Tests of a “free-volume” model of gas permeation through polymer membranes. I. Pure CO2, CH4, C2H4, and C3H8 in polyethylene

Permeability coefficients have been measured for CO₂, CH₄, C₂H₄, and C₃H₈ in polyethylene membranes at temperatures of 5, 20, and 35°C and at applied gas pressures of up to 30 atm. The temperature and pressure dependence of the permeability coefficients was represented satisfactorily by an extension of Fujita's free-volume model of diffusion of small molecules in polymers. The results of the present steady-state permeability measurements provide further support for the conclusion reached from previous unsteady-state diffusivity measurements that Fujita's model is applicable to the transport of small molecules, such as CO₂, CH₄, C₂H₄, and C₃H₈, in polyethylene. It was previously thought that this model is applicable only to the transport of larger molecules, such as of organic vapors, in polymers.     

Sorption of CO2, C2H4, N2O and their binary mixtures in poly(methyl methacrylate)

Sorption of carbon dioxide, ethylene, and nitrous oxide in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) at 35°C has been characterized for each gas as a pure component and for mixtures of carbon dioxide/ethylene and carbon dioxide/nitrous oxide. Pressures up to 20 atm were examined. Pure-component sorption isotherms are concave to the pressure axis for each of the gases. This behavior is accurately described by the dual-mode sorption model. Using only the purecomponent dual-mode parameters and the generalization of the model for gas mixtures, one can predict the total concentration of gas sorbed in the polymer to within an average deviation of ±2.01% for the CO₂/C₂H₄/PMMA system and ±0.98% for the CO₂/N₂O/PMMA system. In both systems, for each component of the mixture, sorption levels were lower than corresponding pure-component sorption levels at pressures equal to the partial pressure of the respective components in the mixture. Depression of the sorbed concentration in mixture situations appears to be a general feature of the above systems and can be substantial in some situations. For the CO₂/C₂H₄/PMMA system, use of pure-component sorption data to estimate the total sorbed concentration in the mixture would be in error by as much as 40% if one failed to account for competition phenomena responsible for depression in mixed-gas situations. Mixture pressures as high as 20 atm were studied for both systems and in the CO₂/N₂O/PMMA system sorbed concentrations reach 33.90 [cm³(STP)/cm³ polymer] without any significant deviation from model predictions.     

Synthesis and characterization of complexes η5,η5-(CO)3Mn(C5H4-C5H4)(CO)2Fe-η1,η5-C5H4Mn(CO)3 and μ-(C≡C)[C5H4(CO)2Fe-η1,η5-C5H4Mn(CO)3]2

Reactions of (CO2)2+ and (CO)2+ association ions

The reactons of (CO₂)₂⁺ and (CO)₂⁺ with various additives have been investigated using the NBS high-pressure photoionization mass spectrometer at total pressures of 0.4–1.0 torr of either CO₂ or CO. The additives include CH₄, CD₄, C₂H₂, O₂, H₂O, ^15,14N₂O, and CO in both CO₂ and ¹³CO₂. Second- and third-order rate coefficients based on an ambipolar diffusion model are reported for 25 separate reaction pairs at 295°K, as well as sequential cationic reaction mechanisms. An approximate value of 225 ± 3 kcal/mol (941 ± 13 kJ/mol) was derived for ΔH_f (CO)₂⁺ based on the kinetics observed in various CO-additive mixtures. Some projections regarding the utility of the data under other conditions are also included.

Tests of a “free-volume” model of gas permeation through polymer membranes. II. Pure Ar,SF6, CF4, and C2H2F2 in polyethylene

Permeability coefficients for Ar, SF₆, CF₄, and C₂H₂F₂ (1,1-difluoroethylene) in polyethylene membranes were determined from steady-state permeation rates at temperatures from 5 to 50°C, and at applied gas pressures of up to 15 atm. The temperature and pressure dependence of the permeability coefficients was represented satisfactorily by an extension of Fujita's free volume model of diffusion of small molecules in polymers. The parameters required by this model were determined from independent absorption (diffusivity) measurements with the above gases in polyethylene rods. The present work confirms the results of previous studies with CO₂, CH₄ C₂H₄ and C₃H₈ in polyethylene.

Gram-Scale Synthesis of an Ultrastable Microporous Metal-Organic Framework for Efficient Adsorptive Separation of C2H2/CO2 and C2H2/CH4

A highly water and thermally stable metal-organic framework (MOF) Zn₂(Pydc)(Ata)₂ (1, H₂Pydc = 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid; HAta = 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole) was synthesized on a large scale using inexpensive commercially available ligands for efficient separation of C₂H₂ from CH₄ and CO₂. Compound 1 could take up 47.2 mL/g of C₂H₂ under ambient conditions but only 33.0 mL/g of CO₂ and 19.1 mL/g of CH₄. The calculated ideal absorbed solution theory (IAST) selectivities for equimolar C₂H₂/CO₂ and C₂H₂/CH₄ were 5.1 and 21.5, respectively, comparable to those many popular MOFs. The Q_st values for C₂H₂, CO₂, and CH₄ at a near-zero loading in 1 were 43.1, 32.1, and 22.5 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. The practical separation performance for C₂H₂/CO₂ mixtures was further confirmed by column breakthrough experiments.

Isotropic C6, C8 and C10 interaction coefficients for CH4, C2H6, C3H8, n-C4H10 and cyclo-C3H6

The non-empirical generalized Kirkwood, Unsöld, and the single-Δ Unsöld methods (with double-zeta quality SCF wave-functions) are used to calculate isotropic dispersion (and induction) energy coefficients C_2n, with n ? 5, for interactions involving ground state CH₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₈, n-C₄H₁₀ and cyclo-C₃H₆.

Monte Carlo simulation for pVT relationship of CO2+n-C4H10 and CO2+i-C4H10 systems

Monte Carlo simulation has been applied to calculate the pVT relationship of CO₂+butane (n-C₄H₁₀ and i-C₄H₁₀) systems at 310.93 K and up to 9.5 MPa. CO₂ is treated as a single-site molecule and butanes are treated as four-site molecules. The Lennard–Jones (12–6) potential is used as the site–site potentials and the combining rules proposed by Jorgensen et al. [W.L. Jorgensen, J.D. Madura, C.J. Swenson, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 106 (1984) 6638.] are adopted for unlike site pairs. The calculated results of the pVT relationship show good agreement with the experimental data [T. Tsuji, S. Honda, T. Hiaki, M. Hongo, J. Supercrit. Fluids 13 (1998) 15.] by introducing an intersite interaction parameter between unlike molecules. Furthermore, the radial distribution functions and the number of CO₂ and butanes around butanes are calculated as a fundamental information on the microscopic structures. It is found that the radial distribution functions and the number of CO₂ and n-C₄H₁₀ around n-C₄H₁₀ are different from those of CO₂ and i-C₄H₁₀ around i-C₄H₁₀.

Summary A new procedure for the simultaneous determination of N₂, O₂, CO, CO₂, N₂O, SO₂, CH₄, C₂H₄ and C₂H₆ by gas chromatography is described. Concentrations from 10% down to 10 ppm can be determined without preconcentration. After a pre-column splitting the individual compounds of the sample are separated by a uniform temperature program on two different columns in parallel. Detection of the effluents is achieved by two individual ultrasonic detectors, the data from which are processed in a micro-computer. Instrumentation and gas chromatographic details are described and discussed.

     

Permeation of pure carbon dioxide and methane and binary mixtures through cellulose acetate membranes

Steady-state permeation rates for pure CO₂ and CH₄ and their binary mixtures through homogeneous dense cellulose triacetate membranes have been measured at three temperatures between 20 and 40°C and pressures up to 2.8 MPa. The pressure dependence of the mean permeability coefficient for CO₂ can be described by the total immobilization model in conjunction with a modified free-volume model. No appreciable pressure dependence of the permeability coefficient for CH₄ is observed, while the permeability coefficients for CH₄ in binary mixture of CO₂ and CH₄ depend on applied gas pressure. The pressure dependences of the mean permeability coefficients for the components in the binary mixture are discussed in terms of the above mobility model. Membrane plasticization induced by CO₂ affects permeation by both gases.     

Cyclopentadienyl-ruthenium and -osmium chemistry: XXVIII. Reactions and isomerisation of 1,2-bis(methoxycarbonyl)ethenyl complexes: X-ray structures of Ru{Z)-C(CO2Me)CH(CO2Me)} -(CO)(PPh3)(η-C5H5) · 0.5EtOH,Ru{(E)-C(CO2Me)CH(CO2Me)}(dppe)(η-C5H5) and Ru{C(CO2Me)C(CO2Me)C(CO2Me)CH(CO2Me)} - (PPh3)(η-C5H5)

A reinvestigation of the reaction between C₂(CO₂Me)₂ and RuH(PPh₃)₂(η-C₅H₅) and some related complexes is reported. Initial cis addition is followed by conversion into the trans isomer. In the case of the bis-(PPh₃) complex, isomerisation is followed by chelation of the ester CO group with concomitant displacement of one PPh₃ligand. The resulting chelate complex reacts with CO or CNBu^t to give the (Z)-RuC(CO₂Me)CH(CO₂Me) complexes; the (E)-isomer of the carbonyl complex is obtained by addition of C₂(CO₂Me)₂to RuH(CO)(PPh₃)(η-C₅H₅). The ^1Hand ¹³C NMR spectra are not a reliable guide to assignment of the stereochemistry of the vinyl group. Other products isolated from the initial reaction are the bis-insertion product $\text{Ru{C(CO}{}_2\text{Me)C(CO}{}_2\text{Me)C(CO}{}_2\text{Me)}$CH(CO₂Me)} -(PPh₃)(η-C₅H₅) and the 1/2 PPh₃/C₂(CO₂Me)₂ adduct.

The cis isomer is monoclinic, space group P2₁,with a 9.328(8), b 17.385(10), c 10.356(7) Å, β 101.78(3)° and Z = 2; 2107 data with I ≥ 2.5σ(I) were refined to R = 0.076 R_w = 0.085.

Are HO radicals produced in the reaction of O(3P) with 1-C4H8?

The reaction of O(³P) with 1-C₄H₈ was examined in the presence of CO which scavenges HO radicals to produce CO₂. From the CO₂ quantum yield, an upper limit to the efficiency of HO production in the reaction of O(³P) with 1-C₄H₈ was found to be 0.02 at both 298° and 473°K.
