乙醇和甲苯组成的最低共沸混合物热力学性质的研究

The molar heat capacity of the azeotropic mixture composed of ethanol and toluene was measured by a high precision adiabatic calorimeter from 80 to 320 K. The glass transition and phase transitions of the azeotropic mixture were determined based on the heat capacity measurements. A glass transition at 103.350 K was found. A solid-solid phase transition at 127.282 K, two solid-liquid phase transitions at 153.612 and 160.584 K were observed, which correspond to the transition of metastable crystal to stable crystal of ethanol and the melting of ethanol and toluene, respectively. The thermodynamic functions and the excess ones of the mixture relative to the standard temperature 298.15 K were derived based on the relationships of the thermodynamic functions and the function of the measured heat capacity with respect to temperature.

Evaluation of single-ion conductances in nonaqueous solvents at 25°C by the use of tetrabutylammonium tetrabutylboride as a reference electrolyte

Precise conductances for tetrabutylammonium tetrabutylboride (Bu₄NBBu₄) at 25°C have been measured in a number of nonaqueous solvents, and the data have been analyzed by the 1957 Fuoss-Onsager conductance equation. Limiting ion conductances for the Bu₄N⁺ ion at infinite dilution ₀(Bu ₄ N ⁺) in various solvents have been evaluated by dividing ₀ values of the salt into two equal parts. The ₀(Bu ₄ N ⁺) values so obtained are in fairly good agreement (within±0.1–3.5%) with the corresponding values determined from direct transference number measurements in these solvents.

乙醇-环己烷体系中NaI活度系数的测定与计算

由于非水溶剂的应用日趋广泛,促使物理化学工作者对于溶剂和溶液性质进行研究,同时开展了有关物理化学数据的测定和积累工作,以利于指导实践[1]。目前文献报道含水混合溶剂中的电解质活度系数较多,但非水混合溶剂中电解质活度系数报道较少。电解质浓溶液活度系数的计算方法目前应用较广的是Pitzer半经验算法[2]。Pitzer的算法中具体物系的β(0)、β(1)等系数需从实测活度系数数据拟合求得。孙仁义等通过测定汽液平衡盐效应的方法研究了盐在混合溶剂中的活度系数[3-4]。最近孙仁义等[5]提出了双液比固定条件下含盐体系汽液平衡数据热力学一…     

Relationship between the density of supercritical CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> + ethanol binary system and its critical properties

The dependent relation between temperature and pressure of supercritical CO₂+ ethanol binary system under the pressure range from 5 to 10 MPa with the variety of densities and mole fractions of ethanol that range from 0 to 2% was investigated by the static visual method in a constant volume. The critical temperature and pressure were experimentally determined simultaneously. The PTρ figures at different ethanol contents were described based on the determined pressure and temperature data, from which pressure of supercritical CO₂ + ethanol binary system was found to increase linearly with the increasing temperature. P-T lines show certain convergent feature in a specific concentration of ethanol and the convergent points shift to the region of higher temperature and pressure with the increasing ethanol compositions. Furthermore, the effect of density and ethanol concentration on the critical point of CO₂ + ethanol binary system was discussed in details. Critical points increase linearly with the increasing mole fraction of ethanol in specific density and critical points change at different densities. The critical compressibility factors Z_c of supercritical CO₂ + ethanol binary systems at different compositions of ethanol were calculated and Z _c -ρ figure was obtained accordingly. It was found from Z _c -ρ figure that critical compressibility factors of supercritical CO₂ unitary or binary systems decline linearly with the increasing density, by which the critical point can be predicted precisely.     

Ethanol fermentation in a tower fermenter using self-aggregatingSaccharomyces uvarum

A self-aggregating strain ofSaccharomyces uvarum (U4) was used as a biocatalyst to carry out continuous ethanol fermentation in a tower fermentor equipped with a cell separator. Cell aggregates (2–3 mm) formed a stable packed bed in the fermentor, and the cell separator retained yeast cells effectively. Corn steep liquor was used as a nitrogen source for the fermentation of corn syrup and black strap molasses. An ethanol productivity of 54 g/L/h was reached using corn syrup at a dilution rate of 0.7/h, and sugar concentration in the feed was 15% (w/v). For molasses fermentation, an ethanol productivity of 22 g/L/h was obtained at a dilution rate of 0.7/h, and sugar concentration in the feed was 12.5% (w/v). Ethanol yields obtained from tower fermentation are higher than those obtained from flask fermentation (96% for corn syrup fermentation and 92% for molasses fermentation). No significant loss in fermentation activity was observed after 3 mo of operation.     

Evaluation of PTMSP membranes in achieving enhanced ethanol removal from fermentations by pervaporation

The use of membrane processes for the recovery of fermentation products has been gaining increased acceptance in recent years. Pervaporation has been studied in the past as a process for simultaneous fermentation and recovery of volatile products such as ethanol and butanol. However, membrane fouling and low permeate fluxes have imposed limitations on the effectiveness of the process. In this study, we characterize the performance of a substituted polyacetylene membrane, poly[(l-trimethylsilyl)-l-propyne] (PTMSP), in the recovery of ethanol from aqueous mixtures and fermentation broths. Pervaporation using PTMSP membranes shows a distinct advantage over conventional poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) membranes in ethanol removal. The flux with PTMSP is about threefold higher and the concentration factor is about twofold higher than the corresponding performance achieved with PDMS under similar conditions. The performance of PTMSP with fermentation broths shows a reduction in both flux and concentration factor relative to ethanol-water mixtures. However, the PTMSP membranes indicate initial promise of increased fouling resistance in operation with cell-containing fermentation broths.     

Synthesis, Structure and Conductivity of the New Charge-transfer Salt (ET)_2(CH_2=CH-CH_2-SO_3)·H_2O

ET is one of the most famous electron-donor molecules, which forms charge-transfer complexes (abbr. CT-complexes) with various types of counterions. These complexes have received intense attention because a wide range of physical properties such as conductivity and superconductivity1, ferromagnetism2-4 and nonlinear optical properties5 was found in these materials. Although the majority of the ET-based CT-complexes were prepared by combining with inorganic counterions, CT-complexes with o…     

The acidity functionsH 0 s of HCl solutions in EtOH with low water content

The acidity functionsH ₀ ^s of HCl solutions in EtOH-H₂O solvents containing 1.09, 3.0, and 5.0% water have been measured at 25 and 40 °C by the indicator method. The concentration of HCl changes from 10^–2 to 36m. Nitroanilines, for which a protonation mechanism is realized in the studied systems, were used as indicators.For each solvent,H ₀ ^s is temperature independent atm _HCl < 4, and acidity atm _HCl > 4 mol L^–1 increases more rapidly at 25 °C than at 40 °C. The acidity functions of aqueous and water-ethanol solutions of HCl were compared, and the concentrations of proton solvates of different compositions and their relative protonating ability were evaluated.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
