Thermodynamics of mixtures with strongly negative deviations from Raoult’s law: Part 5. Excess molar volumes at 298.15 K for 1-alkanols+dipropylamine systems: characterization in terms of the ERAS model

Excess molar volumes, V_m^E, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure over the entire composition range for binary mixtures of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol and 1-octanol with dipropylamine are reported from densities measured with a vibrating-tube densimeter. All the excess volumes are large and negative over the whole mole fraction range, indicating strong interactions between unlike molecules, which are more important for the system involving methanol, characterized by the most negative V_m^E. For the remainder mixtures, V_m^E at equimolar composition, is approximately constant. The V_m^E curves are nearly symmetrical.

V_m^E and excess molar enthalpies, H_m^E, of the mixtures studied are consistently described by the ERAS model. The ERAS parameters confirm that the strongest interactions between unlike molecules are encountered in the methanol+dipropylamine system.     

Hm and Vm thermodynamic surfaces for binary mixtures in the near critical region

Even for such simple mixtures as (argon+methane), the excess enthalpy H^E_m and the excess volume V^E_m in the near critical region are about two orders of magnitude higher than for the liquid mixture at low temperatures and pressures near ambient conditions. Mixtures for which the critical temperatures are close together, and for which the critical pressures are far apart, have similar H^E_m (x,p,T) and V^E_m (x,p,T) surfaces, and near critical isotherms show double maxima in the supercritical fluid region. Mixtures for which the critical pressures are close together, and the critical temperatures are far apart, also have similar H^E_m (x,p,T) and V^E_m (x,p,T) surfaces, but isobars on the surfaces are ‘S’ shaped. The shapes of these near-critical excess-function surfaces can be understood from an inspection of the enthalpy, or residual enthalpy curves of the mixture and of the pure components. Examples of both are given. Attention is drawn to the large value that these excess functions can have close to a pure component critical point.     

Dnd点群的几点释疑

Point group in crystallography is one of the important subjects in structural chemistry.Some topics are very difficult to understand.To name a few, why does point group of D_2d belong to tetragonal? Why are D_4d and D_6d not included in 32 kinds of crystallographic point groups? The two questions are easy to answer if we understand the following topic:for the D_nd point group, when n is odd, it contains an I_n symmetry axis; when n is even, it contains an I_2n symmetry axis.In this work, graphic method and matrix method are adopted to clarify why the D_nd point group includes an S_2n axis, and thus give explanations that D_2d belongs to tetragonal as well as D_4d and D_6d are not included in 32 kinds of crystallographic point groups.     

Establishing TA-Pb/Cu and SA-Pb/Cu interface catalyst shells on HMX surfaces via in situ coprecipitation to ameliorate the performances of HMX

Lead/copper tannate (TA-Pb/Cu) and lead/copper salicylate (SA-Pb/Cu) interface catalyst shells are established on the surface of 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazacyclooctane (HMX) via in situ coprecipitation to prepare HMX@TA-Pb/Cu and HMX@SA-Pb/Cu composites. The structures and properties of the obtained HMX@TA-Pb/Cu and HMX@SA-Pb/Cu composites are characterized in detail. Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study the adsorption mechanism of TA-Pb/Cu and SA-Pb/Cu on HMX surface. The residues after HMX@TA-Pb/Cu and HMX@SA-Pb/Cu combusted in air are collected and characterized to study the catalytic effect of TA-Pb/Cu and SA-Pb/Cu on combustion. The study results show that TA-Pb/Cu shells are coated on HMX surface due to the excellent membrane-forming properties of TA, while SA-Pb/Cu shells are embedded in the gullies and holes of HMX surface. TA-Pb/Cu and SA-Pb/Cu shells can decrease the mechanical sensitivities and catalyze the decomposition and combustion of HMX, and the catalytic effects of in situ coprecipitation are better than that of physical mixing. In addition, the phase transition temperature of HMX in HMX@TA-Pb/Cu is increased while that of HMX@SA-Pb/Cu is decreased, illustrating that TA-Pb/Cu can enhance the thermal stability of HMX while SA-Pb/Cu can catalyze the phase transition of HMX.

Molecular thermodynamic model for equilibria in solution: I. Reacting and non-reacting ensembles

The partition functions of solution thermodynamics are mathematical representations of the properties of molecular ensembles statistically distributed according to specific characteristics. The ensembles are classified as non-reacting or reacting. The non-reacting ensembles are characterized by one mean enthalpy level with dispersion around the mean. The reacting ensembles are characterized by two or more distinctly separated enthalpy levels over which the different species are variably distributed, depending on concentration and/or temperature.

The non-reacting ensembles can be distinguished into microcanonical, thermal, osmotic, thermo-osmotic ensembles, depending on the type of exchange with the surroundings which is connected to the fluctuations of the ensemble variables. The reacting ensembles can be distinguished into thermal, osmotic, thermo-osmotic, electrochemical, electro-osmotic, electro-thermal, electro-thermo-osmotic ensembles, depending on the type of reaction and of exchange with the surroundings.

Stability of Nanoporous Silica Aerogel Dispersion as Wettability Alteration Agent

This work studies the stability of silica aerogel aqueous dispersion for wettability alteration in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. Modified silica aerogel is synthesized with cheap water glass as the precursor, and ambient pressure drying method. Brine composition, brine concentration and temperature of oil reservoirs are the most important parameters for success of wettability alteration processes in EOR. Stability of Silica aerogel aqueous dispersions in NaCl, MgCl₂ and combinations of them are surveyed. Brines at different concentrations, 10000, 20000, 40000 ppm, are used to determine stability conditions. Stability at 30°C and 75°C are surveyed, and the results are reported. DLVO and non-DLVO theories are used for modeling the stability of nanodispersion.     

Nitro and nitroso transformations in superacids

Novel transformations involving the nitro and nitroso groups in superacid media are discussed and summarized. NO₂-diprotonation is a key reaction for nitro PAHs, forming N,N-dihydroxyiminium–arenium dications whereas nitrosoarenes are N,O-diprotonated to form hydroxyiminium–arenium dications. In nitropyrenes a facile cyclization involving the nitro group leads to five- and/or six-membered ring heterocyclic cations. Nitro cyclization also occurs in nitroalkylbenzenes but at higher temperatures. Multinuclear NMR data for the resulting persistent NO₂-diprotonated dications and their cyclized analogs are gathered and the structural requirements to bring about nitro cyclization are assessed. Conjugated nitroalkenes such as nitrostyrene and nitroethene are NO₂-diprotonated to form hydroxyiminium–carbenium dications. β-Heteroatom-substituted nitroethylenes are C,O-diprotonated and subsequently form hydroxynitrilium ions. Nitronate salts and unsubstituted nitroalkanes are activated in superacids via their protonated nitronic acid. β-ethoxycarbonyl-substituted nitroalkanes are activated via the O,O-diprotonated aci-nitro species with further O-protonation to give dioxonium–carbenium trications or via hydroxynitrilium ions. The NMR characteristics for the dihydroxyiminium–carbenium dications and hydroxynitrilium ions from various 2-nitroalkenes and their nucleophile quenching-derived cations are also gathered. The mechanistic aspects emphasizing dicationic (and tricationic) intermediates, their interplay and the potential synthetic benefits of these transformations which greatly extend the chemistry of the nitro group are highlighted.     

Bulk Free‐Radical Co‐ and Terpolymerization of n‐Butyl Acrylate/2‐Ethylhexyl Acrylate/Methyl Methacrylate

n‐Butyl acrylate (BA), 2‐ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA), and methyl methacrylate (MMA) are commonly used monomers in pressure‐sensitive adhesive formulations. The bulk free‐radical copolymerizations of BA/EHA, MMA/EHA, and BA/MMA are studied at 60 °C to demonstrate the use of copolymer reactivity ratios for the prediction of BA/MMA/EHA terpolymer composition. The reactivity ratios for BA/EHA and MMA/EHA copolymer systems are determined using low conversion experiments; BA/MMA reactivity ratios are already known from the literature. The reactivity ratio estimates for the BA/EHA system are r _BA = 0.994 and r _EHA = 1.621 and the estimates for MMA/EHA are r _MMA = 1.496 and r _EHA = 0.315. High conversion experiments are conducted to validate the reactivity ratios. The copolymer reactivity ratios are shown to predict terpolymer composition of high conversion BA/MMA/EHA experiments.     

Pressure and temperature dependencies of excess molar enthalpies of two-component Lennard–Jones fluid mixtures in the supercritical region

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations have been carried out for mixtures of Lennard–Jones (LJ) fluids near or in the supercritical region. Excess molar enthalpy at equimolar concentration, H_p,x=0.5^E, has been obtained for four kinds of model mixtures each having different combining rule for unlike interactions. The pressure and temperature dependencies of H_p,x=0.5^E are investigated. The unique pressure and temperature dependencies of H_p,x=0.5^E for real systems such as (ethane+ethene) in the supercritical condition have been reproduced by the present simple model systems. Excess molar internal energies at constant volumes, U_V,x=0.5^E, are also evaluated. They are compared with H_p,x=0.5^E to investigate the volumetric contributions to H_p,x=0.5^E or excess molar internal energies at constant pressure, U_V,x=0.5^E. Calculated U_V,x=0.5^E for the present model systems are quite simple compared to the excess molar internal energy at constant pressure, U_V,x=0.5^E. They are very small in magnitude and show linear dependencies on the density of mixtures.     

氢气存在下的煤焦水蒸气气化: I 反应特性研究

分别以水蒸气/惰性气混合气、水蒸气/氢气混合气作为气化剂,在常压和875℃~950℃下,采用热天平对1200℃快速热解神府煤焦的气化反应特性进行了研究,并考察了气化过程中煤焦结构的变化及其对气化反应的影响。实验发现,煤焦在水蒸气/氢气作为气化剂条件下的气化反应过程可分为两个阶段,首先是反应急剧进行的阶段,然后是反应速率趋于稳定的阶段,且反应速率接近于石墨的反应速率。该现象与煤的化学结构有关,第一阶段气化剂与活泼性物质 碳氢支链、含氧官能团的反应,第二阶段气化剂与芳香碳的反应;煤焦在水蒸气/氢气气氛下,气化过程中的碳难以转化完全。神府煤焦的SEM表明,煤焦表面有大量的裂缝、孔隙、褶皱、及碎块。碎块表面光滑,这些物质覆盖了内部裂缝与孔隙。煤焦和水蒸气/氢气气化残焦（碳转化率68%）由于气化反应,其碎块减少,表面的大孔暴露出来。比较两种气化剂条件下的气化反应过程发现,水蒸气/惰性气气化反应速率随碳转化率的增加而缓慢均匀地下降;水蒸气/氢气气化反应速率随碳转化率增加先迅速降低,而后较缓慢降低。     

Highly selective olefin epoxidation with manganese triazacyclononane complexes: Impact of ligand substitution

Manganese complexes of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane with different substituents catalyze the selective epoxidation of a large number of olefins to epoxides with H₂O₂. The activities of complexes with methyl (L₁), 2-hydroxybutyl (L₂) and acetato (L₃) substituents are compared. The effects of solvent and temperature on the epoxide yield are very different for the three complexes. It is proposed that these differences are related to the binding of the pendant arms in Mn---L₂ and Mn---L₃ complexes. In general, acetone or methanol are preferred solvents. Variations of stereoretention are also observed: with Mn---L₁ in acetone, isomer scrambling occurs, while with Mn---L₁ in methanol, the epoxidation is almost stereospecific. UV-visible and electron spin resonance spectroscopy are used to characterize the state of manganese under oxidizing conditions.     

Ab initio and density functional theory calculations of molecular structure and vibrational spectrum of ethyl azidoacetate

Here we report ab initio and density functional results for molecular properties of ethyl azidoacetate (N₃CH₂COOC₂H₅) and for the corresponding singly ionized structure (N₃CH₂COOC₂H₅⁺). Ab initio ionization energies based on Koopmans’ theorem are in excellent agreement with the experimental data from ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. DFT adiabatic energy differences between neutral and ionized structures are very sensitive to electronic correlation effects and are not in very good agreement with experiment. The results for the structure and vibrational frequencies are compared with the experimental data of related molecular structures.     

Sensitive and selective analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans and their precursors by supersonic jet/resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), some of which are extremely toxic, are present at low concentrations in incinerator flue gases. The on-line real-time measurement of these compounds is necessary, since these concentrations fluctuate drastically with the process conditions used. Supersonic jet/resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SSJ/REMPI/TOF-MS), which provides both high selectivity and sensitivity, appears suitable for application to the on-line real-time monitoring of PCDD/Fs. In this review, the resonant ionization wavelengths of PCDD/Fs and their precursors are given. Moreover, improvements in SSJ/REMPI/TOF-MS that lead to enhanced sensitivity and selectivity are presented. That is, novel ionization sources and advanced ionization schemes are reported for the sensitive measurement of PCDD/Fs and their precursors. Those techniques are advantageous for the trace analysis of these compounds.     

Formation and Characteristics of Acrylonitrile/Urea Inclusion Compound

The formation process and composition of the acrylonitrile/urea inclusion compounds (AN/UIC) with different aging times and AN/urea molar feed ratios are studied by differen-tial scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It is suggested that DSC candetermine the guest/host ratio and the heat of decomposition. Meanwhile, the guest/host ratio and heat of decomposition are obtained, which are 1.17 and 5361.53 J/mol, respec-tively. It is suggested AN molecules included in urea canal lattice may be packed flat against each other. It is found that the formation of AN/UIC depends on the aging time. XRD results reveal that once AN molecules enter urea lattice, AN/UIC are formed, which possess the final structure. When AN molecules are sufficient, the length of AN molecular arrays in urea canals increases as aging time prolonging until urea tunnels are saturated by AN.     

Dynamic Surface Tension and Adsorption Kinetics of Sodium Lignosulfonate Aqueous Solutions

In the article, the dynamic surface tension of sodium lignosulfonate (SL) aqueous solutions are investigated using an axisymmetric drop shape analysis-profile method. The data are analyzed by the Langmuir, Frumkin, modified Frumkin, and modified Flory-Huggins equations. The results indicate that the Langmuir model's results with two adjustable parameters are comparable to that of other models with three or four adjustable parameters. Based on the simplicity of simulation, the Langmuir adsorption equation is used to correlate the dynamic adsorption processing. The aggregation between SL molecules and the variation of adsorption configuration are proposed to interpret the results of dynamic surface tension.      

Structure and stability of thioureate anions with water, DFT calculations

Structure and stability of thioureate anion with the water clusters CSNH₂NH⁻-(H₂O)_n = 1–7, are studied, using density functional theory. Molecular structures and the stability of the clusters are discussed based on the calculation results of the stable conformers and their relative energies. All the clusters are stable thermodynamically in gas phase with respect to separate monomers. The clusters are stabilized progressively with an increasing number of water molecules, as indicated by the increasing of the binding energies. The binding energies of CSNH₂NH⁻ and a water molecule are 14.34 and 16.36 kcal/mol for cis CSNH₂NH⁻ and trans CSNH₂NH⁻, respectively. As the reaction in aqueous solution progresses, the CS bond distance increases monotonically, indicating that the CS bond of the thioureate anion unit in the clusters is de-stabilized with an increasing number of water molecules.
