Diffusion in Lorentz lattice gas automata with backscattering

The probability of first return to the initial intervalx and the diffusion tensorD _x are calculated exactly for a ballistic Lorentz gas on a Bethe lattice or Cayley tree. It consists of a moving particle and a fixed array of scatterers, located at the nodes, and the lengths of the intervals between scatterers are determined by a geometric distribution. The same values forx andD _x apply also to a regular space lattice with a fraction of sites occupied by a scatterer in the limit of a small concentration of scatterers. If backscattering occurs, the results are very different from the Boltzmann approximation. The theory is applied to different types of lattices and different types of scatterers having rotational or mirror symmetries.     

The theoretical basis of column chromatography in multicomponent separations. Part 2: Peak capacity. Column systems with good selectivity

The selectivity of a column system, S, defined by equation 28, includes a variation coefficient (β) of plate number with capacity ratio which has a large influence on the peak capacity, as shown in Fig. 18. Some typical chromatograms are given. In order to predict S for a column system from Kovat's Index, equations 40 and 41 are given to calculate the constant of the carbon number rule for squalane at different temperatures or for different stationary phases. The specific retention value of heptane on squalane at different temperatures can be calculated from equation 42. The nonpolarity index, defined by equation 43, was used to calculate the retention value of heptane on various stationary phases. In liquid chromatography, the order of elution may be reversed by changing the composition of the eluent on the same chemically bonded silica (manufactured in China). The linear relations between the log retention values of different kinds of solutes or of a single solute on the silicas of different surface areas when using the same eluent are given.     

Evaluation of dissociation constants of ammonium ion in aqueous lithium perchlorate and lithium chloride-sodium chloride mixed solutions

The Pitzer approach has been applied to the evaluation of dissociation constants of ammonium ion in lithium perchlorate and lithium chloride-sodium chloride mixed solutions at 25°C. The calculated values showed good agreement with the observed values, provided all the higher-order interaction terms ('s and 's) concerned were introduced. The unknown (NH₄LiClO₄) value was determined from the isopiestic measurements of NH₄ClO₄–LiClO₄ mixed solutions. Parameters in the Pitzer formalism for ammonia-ion interactions involved in LiCl and NaCl media were determined by use of the activity coefficients of ammonia measured in LiCl–NaCl mixed solutions by a transpiration method.

通过对烷烃，醇类等有机物在五种不同极性固定相上的气相色谱保留值的测定，提出了从有机物气相色谱保留值测定其正辛醇/分配系数的公式，研究了从不同极性固定相上测得的保留值来测定其分配系数的准确性，得出烷烃类在所有柱上测得的保留值与其分配系数间均具有很好的关联，烷烃醇类在极性相异柱上的保留值之比值与其分配系数间也有很好的相关性，从而为烷烃及醇类等有机物分配系数的测定提供了一种简单、可靠，易行的新方法。     

Measurements of HO2 uptake coefficient on aqueous (NH4)2SO4 aerosol using aerosol flow tube with LIF system

The γ(HO₂) was elevated with increase of Cu(II) concentrations in aqueous (NH₄)₂SO₄ aerosol. The threshold of Cu(II) concentration was 10^-3 mol/L for the dramatic increase of γ(HO₂) to 0.1, suggesting sensitive γ(HO₂) value to concentration of transition metal ions in aerosol.     

Salting coefficients for gases in seawater from scaled-particle theory

Experimental values of the salting coefficients for He, Ne, Ar, O₂, and N₂ in seawater are compared with values calculated from scaled-particle theory. The agreement is reasonably good; the average difference between calculated and observed values at 25°C is 0.007. Scaled-particle theory predicts correctly thatk _s should decrease as the temperature increases and that this effect should be most pronounced at low temperatures. However, the predicted magnitude ofdK _s/dt is only about half of that observed.     

Error of DIAL-measured Ozone Concentration and a Three-Wavelength Inversion Technique

Sensitivity of the error in the stratospheric ozone concentration measured by DIAL to the scattering property of the stratospheric aerosol is studied through both theoretical analysis and numerical experiment in this paper, and based on the sensitivity, a three-wavelength lidar inversion technique is proposed for a simultaneous determination of ozone concentration profile, aerosol backscatter coefficient profile and its size distribution in the stratosphere. It is found from the sensitivity study that there is a considerable effect of the stratospheric aerosol on accuracy of the ozone concentration solution. If the aerosol scattering is neglected, a large error of the solution can be obtained, especially when there is the stratospheric volcanic cloud, the error can be up to 100%. According to numerical experiments, a great improvement of the ozone concentration solution is obtained by using the present three-wavelenght inversion method.     

Osmotic and activity coefficients of sodium chloride-sorbitol and potassium chloride-sorbitol solutions at 25°C

Osmotic and activity coefficients are reported for sorbitol over the range 1.8–11.1m with NaCl as the reference and 1.8–7.6m with KCl as the reference electrolyte. The osmotic coefficients over the range 0–3.7m are identical with those reported earlier by Robinson. It was found that the activity coefficients of sorbitol are uniformly about four percent lower than those of dextrose. Activity coefficients of trace quantities of NaCl in concentrated sorbitol solutions are about one-half of their value in pure NaCl solutions while the activity coefficients of trace quantities of sorbitol in concentrated NaCl solutions are about one-third of their value in pure sorbitol solutions. Potassium chloride lowers the activity coefficient of sorbitol less than does sodium chloride in solutions of similar water activity. Sorbitol lowers the activity coefficients of potassium chloride in concentrated solution but actually elevates them in dilute solutions.     

Volumetric properties of ethanol–water mixtures under high temperatures and pressures

The densities of ethanol and ethanol–water mixtures were measured with a vibrating tube densimeter at 25.0, 50.0 and 75.0 °C in the pressure range from 0.10 to 40.00 MPa. Densities were correlated using an empirical model. Partial molar volumes, excess molar volumes, isothermal compressibilities, cubic expansion coefficients and internal pressures were calculated from obtained densities. This study reports the dependence of densities, partial molar volumes, excess molar volumes, isothermal compressibilities, cubic expansion coefficients and internal pressures on composition, temperature and pressure.
