HPC/H2O/H3PO4 tertiary system: a rheological study

This study characterizes the rheological behavior of the HPC/H₂O/H₃PO₄ tertiary system based on the 3-D phase diagram that was obtained in our earlier work. The effects of frequency, temperature, HPC concentration, liquid composition (H₂O/H₃PO₄ ratio), and phase status on the rheological parameters were thoroughly investigated. The most useful parameter for distinguishing the isotropic (I) and liquid crystalline (LC) phases was tanδ. Agglomeration in the cloudy suspension (CS) phase at high temperature was too severe to allow a smooth flow, so the tanδ and η* represented significant damping, which is a good indicator of the presence of the CS phase. With an increase in temperature, the viscosity of the flow with a single homogeneous phase—either the I phase or the LC phase—or a combination of two homogeneous phases in sequence, obeyed the Arrhenius model. In contrast, once the temperature rose to that of the formation of heterogeneous CS phase, the Arrhenius model was no longer valid. The activation energy E of the I phase was greater, and more sensitive to the HPC concentration, than the LC phase. Finally, the concentration of the sol/gel transition (SGT) declined as temperature increased but increased as the H₃PO₄ content increased. Furthermore, this tertiary system exhibited no clear order of the onsets of the formations of SGT phase, the LC phase, and the CS phase as HPC concentration was varied.     

Phase formation and transition in a xanthan gum/H2O/H3PO4 tertiary system

Phase formation and transition in a xanthan gum (XG)/H₂O/H₃PO₄ tertiary system were characterized by polarized optical microscopy, light transmission detection and rheological methods. Three distinct phases and a transition region—the completely separated (S) phase, the liquid crystalline (LC) miscible phase, the isotropically (I) miscible phase and the S plus LC region—were identified. The presence of H₃PO₄ in the XG/H₂O system inhibited the evolution of both the S and LC phases. The S and LC phases contained less than 73 and 62 wt% of H₃PO₄, respectively. As the temperature increased over 65 °C, the LC phase in the H₃PO₄-rich and H₂O-poor region seriously shrunk owing to the breakup of hydrogen bonds among the XG helical structure. At the same XG loading, the viscosity of the XG solutions in LC phase was found to be much higher than that in I phase. It indicated the existence of numerous XG intermolecular interactions in the LC phase that suppress the movement of liquid. A study of the kinetics demonstrated that the shrinkage relaxation time (τ) depended strongly on temperature and was fitted by the Volgel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) expression. The potential energy barrier of this liquid was quite low at approximately 3.0 kJ mol^?1, falling in the range of hydrogen-bond disassociation. The light absorbance test in heating mode revealed a biphasic transitional region between the LC phase and I phase. The contour of this region depended on the heating rate, and this fact was explained again by the relaxation behavior of XG helices at temperatures higher than 65 °C.     

Liquid crystalline phase in xanthan gum (XG)/H2O/H3PO3 and XG/H2O/H3PO4 tertiary systems: a thermal and rheological study

This study investigates the difference in phase transition and rheological behavior between xanthan gum (XG)/H₂O/H₃PO₃ (XWP₃) and XG/H₂O/H₃PO₄ (XWP₄) tertiary systems using polarized optical microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, light transmission detection, and rheometry. The results show that the LC (liquid crystal) phase formation in the XWP₄ system was more strongly suppressed than that in the XWP₃ system because the former exhibited stronger interactions between acid and XG molecules. With respect to the transition from LC to I (isotropic) phase at high temperature, the transition time of the XWP₄ system was found to be much shorter than that of the XWP₃ system. The transition time, also called the relaxation time, was measured by observing the annealing time and fitted using the VFT expression. The activation energies E for this transition in XWP₄ and XWP₃ systems are 3.0 and 4.7 kJ/mole, respectively, indicating that the XWP₃ system exhibits stronger intermolecular attraction and is more sensitive to variation in temperature. In the rheological tests, as the temperature of the XWP₄ system increased from 25 to 95 °C, the viscosity in the transitional region declined consistently, while in the XWP₃ system, the decline proceeded through three stages owing to the shifting tautomers of the H₃PO₃. In the LC region, the viscosity normally fell as the shear rate or temperature increased but increased with the heating rate or XG concentration. Most interestingly, all of the results herein demonstrated that the viscosity of the XG solution in the LC region followed a power law with an index of roughly 0.08, which was found to be independent of the type of acid, concentration of acid, and XG concentration.

Experimental determination of the NH4NO3/(NH4)2SO4/H2O phase diagram

We have studied the thermodynamic properties of the ammonium nitrate/ammonium sulfate/water system using differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy of thin films at low temperatures. This is the first study focused on low temperatures, as previous experimental work on this system has been at 273 K and above. We have combined our experimental results with melting point data from the literature at high temperatures to create a solid/liquid phase diagram of the ammonium nitrate/ammonium sulfate/water system for temperatures below 343 K. Using phase diagram theory and Alkemade lines, we predict which solids are stable at equilibrium for all concentrations within the studied region. We also observed the decomposition of a solid at low temperatures which has not previously been reported. Finally, we have compared our predicted solids and final melting temperatures to the Aerosol Inorganics Model (AIM).     

Experimental determination of the H2SO4/(NH4)2SO4/H2O phase diagram

We have experimentally investigated the water and sulfuric acid-rich regions of the H2SO4/(NH4)2SO4/H2O ternary liquid/solid phase diagram using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and infrared spectroscopy of thin films. We present the liquid/solid ternary phase diagram for temperatures below 373 K and H2SO4 concentrations below 60 wt %. We have determined two ternary eutectics and two tributary reaction points for this system in the regions studied. It is also seen that sulfuric acid tetrahydrate (SAT) forms as a metastable solid over a large concentration range. Two true binary systems have been identified: ice/letovicite and SAT/ammonium bisulfate. Finally, we have compared our results to the predictions of the aerosol inorganics model and have found significant differences both in the final melting points and in the location of some of the phase boundaries including a significant discrepancy in the invariant points predicted versus those observed.

NH4VO3在NH4H2PO4-H2O和(NH4)3PO4-H2O体系中的溶解度

采用等温溶解法测定了偏钒酸铵(NH₄VO₃)在NH₄H₂PO₄-H₂O和(NH₄)₃PO₄-H₂O体系中T = 298.15-328.15 K时的溶解度以及溶液的密度和pH值。结果表明, NH₄VO₃的溶解度随着(NH₄)₃PO₄或NH₄H₂PO₄溶液浓度的增大,先降低后升高,这是由于同离子效应、化学反应平衡及离子活度的共同作用。比较T = 298.15K时, NH₄VO₃分别在NH₄H₂PO₄-H₂O、(NH₄)₂HPO₄-H₂O和(NH₄)₃PO₄-H₂O体系中溶解度,发现在相同的磷酸盐浓度下, NH₄VO₃的溶解度在NH₄H₂PO₄-H₂O体系中最大,在(NH₄)₃PO₄-H₂O体系中居中,在(NH₄)₂HPO₄-H₂O体系中最小。进一步地,在T = 298.15 K和磷酸盐浓度C = 0.5 mol·kg^-1时,结合pH值和反应溶度积常数K_SP等计算三个体系中的平均离子活度系数(γ_±),发现γ_±值在(NH₄)₂HPO₄-H₂O体系中最大,在(NH₄)₃PO₄-H₂O体系中居中,在NH₄H₂PO₄-H₂O体系中最小,与溶解度规律一致。

Muon spin relaxation study of Zr(H2PO4)(PO4).2H2O

Muon spin relaxation has been used to study the muon dynamics in the layered zirconium phosphate Zr(H(2)PO(4))(PO(4)).2H(2)O as a function of temperature. Radiofrequency decoupling was used to establish the origin of the local dipolar field as coupling with (1)H spins. Muons were trapped at two sites, one identified as HMuO and the other consistent with PO-Mu on the basis of their zero-field second moments. Although a small decrease in the local nuclear dipolar field was seen with temperature, the muons remained essentially static over the temperature range 20-300 K.     

Vibrational analysis of Ag3(PO2NH)3, Na3(PO2NH)3 x H2O, Na3(PO2NH)3 x 4H2O,

FT IR and FT Raman spectra of Ag3(PO2NH), (Compound 1), Na3(PO2NH)3 x H2O (Compound II), Na3(PO2NH)3 x 4H2O (Compound III), [C(NH2)3]3(PO2NH)3 x H2O (Compound IV) and (NH4)4(PO2NH)4 x 4H2O (Compound V) are recorded and analyzed on the basis of the anions, cations and water molecules present in each of them. The PO2NH- anion ring in compound I is distorted due to the influence of Ag+ cation. Wide variation in the hydrogen bond lengths in compound III is indicated by the splitting of the v2 and v3 modes of vibration of water molecules. The NH4 ion in compound V occupies lower site symmetry and exhibits hindered rotation in the lattice. The correlations between the symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations of P-N-P bridge and the P-N-P bond angle have also been discussed.

Thermodynamic properties and phase transtions in the H2O/CO2/CH4 system

The availability of free energy densities as functions of temperature, pressure and the composition of all components is required for the development of a three-component phase field theory for hydrate phase transitions. We have broadened the extended adsorption theory due to Kvamme and Tanaka (J. Phys. Chem., 1995, 99, 7114) through derivation of the free energy density surface in case of CO(2) and CH(4) hydrates. A combined free energy surface for the liquid phases has been obtained from a SRK equation of state and solubility measurements outside hydrate stability. The full thermodynamic model is shown to predict water-hydrate equilibrium properties in agreement with experiments. Molecular dynamics simulations of hydrates in contact with water at 200 bar and various temperatures allowed us to estimate hard-to-establish properties needed as input parameters for the practical applications of proposed theories. The 5-95 confidence interval for the interface thickness for the methane hydrate/liquid water is estimated to 8.54 A. With the additional information on the interface free energy, the phase field theory will contain no adjustable parameters. We provide a demonstration of how this theory can be applied to model the kinetics of hydrate phase transitions. The growth of hydrate from aqueous solution was found to be rate limited by mass transport, with the concentration of solute close to the hydrate approaching the value characterizing the equilibrium between the hydrate and the aqueous solution. The depth of the interface was estimated by means of the phase field analysis; its value is close to the interface thickness yielded by molecular simulations. The variation range of the concentration field was estimated to approximately 1/3 of the range of the phase field.
