Study on the relationship between the ternary interaction parameter and the structure of water by the effect of aliphatic alcohols and phenol on the swelling behavior of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) membrane in aqueous solution

The effect of very low concentrations of ethanol, 2-propanol and phenol on the swelling degree of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) (EVAL) in water was investigated. The effect of phenol on the swelling degree of EVAL was remarkably large compared to that of ethanol and that of 2-propanol. Theoretical analysis on the basis of Flory-Huggins theory using three binary interaction parameters could appropriately predict the EVAL swelling degree in ethanol/water and 2-propanol/water mixtures. However, the theoretical swelling degree of EVAL in phenol/water mixtures needed a ternary interaction parameter (χ_T) to match with experimental data points. An optimum value of χ_T for the water-phenol-EVAL system was found to be −3.3. The relationship between the ternary interaction parameter and the structure of water from observations of the effect of phenol on the EVAL swelling was discussed. Based on the analysis of low-frequency Raman spectroscopy reported by Suzuki et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 107 (1997) 5890], the contribution of χ_T to the EVAL swelling was attributed to the increase of the entropy in bulk water due to the effect of phenol on the disruption of the tetrahedral hydrogen-bonded networks of water molecules. This, in turn, induced an increase of water absorption in EVAL.

Transmission analysis in ultrafiltration of ternary protein mixture through a hydrophilic membrane

One of the main reasons for the underutilization of ultrafiltration has been the lack of experimental data on transmission of proteins for complex systems and its corresponding theoretical analysis. Of course, the presence of fouling coupled with concentration polarization have had their share in making ultrafiltration operation a difficult one to understand. In the present study, the systematic ultrafiltration of 3-protein mixture, namely lysozyme, myoglobin and ovalbumin, has been carried out using a hydrophilic 30,000 molecular weight cut off membrane. The experimental data of individual protein transmission in ternary mixture showed a very low transmission (as low as 3% for ovalbumin) to a very high transmission (as high as 90% for lysozyme) of proteins for different operating conditions. This behaviour of each protein in the mixture was analyzed using combined concentration polarization and irreversible thermodynamics model. The parameters of the modeled values gave a very good fit with experimental data and the resulting analysis indicated some interesting findings, which are discussed in this paper. The comparison of parameters obtained for single protein solution and the ternary protein solution showed some unusual results that point to the presence of the protein–protein and protein–membrane interactions.     

Studies on the kinetics of synthesis of TiC by calciothermic reduction of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> in presence of carbon

Reaction kinetics of the formation of TiC by calciothermic reduction of TiO₂ in presence of carbon have been investigated using thermal analysis (TG-DTA) of a powder mixture of TiO₂, Ca, and C in argon atmosphere at different heating rates. Both the reaction initiation and the peak temperatures are found to increase with heating rates. The appearance of exothermic peaks in the DTA plots after Ca melting indicates the reduction of TiO₂ by liquid calcium and formation of TiC by in-situ reaction of Ti with C. The apparent activation energy of the process has been found to be 170.8±0.5 kJ mol^–1.

Kristallstrukturen und spektroskopische Untersuchungen ternärer CuII-Komplexe mit bicyclischen Dicarbonsäuren und N,N-Donor-Liganden

Crystal Structures and Spectroscopic Investigations of Ternary Cu^II-Complexes with Bicyclic Dicarboxylic Acids and N,N-Donor Ligands The synthesis of coordination compounds [CuLdam] · 3H₂O (H₂L = 7-oxa-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-exo,3-cis-dicarboxylic acid ( 1 ) and its 1-methyl-derivative ( 2 ); dam = ethylendiamine, 1,2- and 1,3-propylendiamine, 2,2′-dipyridyl, 1,10-phenanthroline) has been described. Results of visible and IR spectroscopy and magnetic data are given. In the result of X-ray analyses of [CuL¹dipy] · 3H₂O ( 1 d ) and [CuL²en] · 3H₂O ( 2 a ) the dicarboxylate anions of 1 and 2 proved to be tridentate chelating ligands. In 1 d the Cu atom has an approximately square-pyramidal coordination with the bridging O atom in the apical position. In 2 a , however, the coordination number is extended to six by an O atom of a second [CuL²en] unit resulting in a centrosymmetric complex dimer with octahedrally coordinated Cu atoms. The water molecules do not participate in the coordination of the Cu atoms and form a complicated system of hydrogen bonds in the crystal.     

Electroless deposition and some properties of Ni–Cu–P and Ni–Sn–P coatings

In this review, a summary of our published results, completed with new unpublished data are considered together with some of other authors’ publications, making an attempt to reveal the mechanism of the third element co-deposition in electroless Ni–P plating and to define its influence on the ternary coatings’ properties. A model explaining the triple role of Cu added to the solution for electroless (EL) Ni–P plating is described: as a stabilizer [Cu(I)]; as an accelerator; and as a stability-affecting agent, forming a dispersed solid phase in the solution. The disproportionation reaction of Cu(I) has been taken into account. A planned experiment was performed using full-effect factorial design with two levels of three process variables, and the response surfaces were constructed. The interaction between the factors was revealed. The results are in harmony with the aforementioned model. In low-tin Ni–Sn–P coatings, the alloy components are uniformly distributed both on the surface and through the thickness. In contrast, high-tin coatings exhibit three-dimensional areas enriched in Sn and impoverished in Ni and P. As the reason for their formation, the disproportionation reaction of Sn(II) is suggested, supposed to be locally predominant over the hypophosphite oxidation. EL deposition of pure Sn onto Ni–Sn–P substrates is shown. The inclusion of Cu or Sn in EL Ni–P increases the thermal stability of amorphous state, ensures the preservation of a paramagnetic behavior and improves the corrosion resistance. Dedicated to the 70th birthday of Professor A. Vaskelis.
