Tuning commercial diesel to microemulsified and blended form: phase behavior and implications

Abstract

Microemulsification and blending of commercial diesel is under constant research for possible fuel application. Microemulsions (ME) were prepared using diesel (D), kerosene (K), diesel and kerosene mixtures at various proportions (D?+?K) (oil phase: O), Triton X-100 surfactant (S), n-butanol, isobutanol (i-butanol), n-pentanol and n-octanol cosurfactants (C), and aqueous phase (W) containing water or brine for the study. Electrical conductance studies and temperature-induced separation of phase have been adopted for recognizing the o/w, w/o and bicontinuous zones. Dye probing has been done to explain the mass transfer among these phases. Percent of solubilization of oil in water has been enumerated in some of the ME. The possible fuel applications of the microemulsions are predicted from their density and flame brightness.     

Which density functional is close to CCSD accuracy to describe geometry and interaction energy of small noncovalent dimers? A benchmark study using Gaussian09

A benchmark study on all possible density functional theory (DFT) methods in Gaussian09 is done to locate functionals that agree well with CCSD/aug‐cc‐pVTZ geometry and Ave‐CCSD(T)/(Q‐T) interaction energy (E_int) for small non‐covalently interacting molecular dimers in “dispersion‐dominated” (class 1), “dipole‐induced dipole” (class 2), and “dipole‐dipole” (class 3) classes. A DFT method is recommended acceptable if the geometry showed close agreement to CCSD result (RMSD < 0.045) and E_int was within 80–120% accuracy. Among 382 tested functionals, 1–46% gave good geometry, 13–44% gave good E_int, while 1–33% satisfied geometry and energy criteria. Further screening to locate the best performing functionals for all the three classes was made by counting the acceptable values of energy and geometry given by each functionals. The meta‐generalized gradient approximation (GGA) functional M06L was the best performer with total 14 hits; seven acceptable energies and seven acceptable geometries. This was the only functional “recommended” for at least two dimers in each class. The functionals M05, B2PLYPD, B971, mPW2PLYPD, PBEB95, and CAM‐B3LYP gave 11 hits while PBEhB95, PW91B95, Wb97x, BRxVP86, BRxP86, HSE2PBE, HSEh1PBE, PBE1PBE, PBEh1PBE, and PW91TPSS gave 10 hits. Among these, M05, B971, mPW2PLYPD, Wb97x, and PW91TPSS were among the “recommended” list of at least one dimer from each class. Long‐range correction (LC) of Hirao and coworkers to exchange‐correlation functionals showed massive improvement in geometry and E_int. The best performing LC‐functionals were LC‐G96KCIS and LC‐PKZBPKZB. Our results predict that M06L is the most trustworthy DFT method in Gaussian09 to study small non‐covalently interacting systems. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Clouding Behavior and Thermodynamic Study of Nonionic Surfactants in Presence of Additives

The present study investigates the effect of different additives on the cloud point (CP) of nonionic surfactants Triton X-100 (TX-100) and Triton X-114 (TX-114) in aqueous solutions. The thermodynamic parameters of these mixtures were calculated at different additive concentrations. The cloud point of nonionic surfactants TX-100 and TX-114 decreased with the increment of electrolyte concentrations and increased with alcohol concentrations. The standard Gibbs free energy was found to be positive for both the surfactants, whereas the enthalpy and the entropy of the clouding phenomenon were found to be positive with alcohols and negative with electrolytes. The overall clouding process was endothermic for alcohols and exothermic for electrolytes.     

Effect on the Solubility,Wettability, and Dispersibility of the β‐CD‐Deltamethrin Inclusion Complex in Presence of Mixed Surfactant (C14MEA/AOS) Blend

An inclusion complex formation using β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) as the host molecule and deltamethrin as guest molecule was a first step towards improvement in conventional insecticide formulations. β‐CD‐deltamethrin inclusion complex formation in the absence and presence of the nonionic myrisitic acid monoethanolamide (C₁₄MEA)/anionic α‐olefin sulfonate C₁₂‐C₁₄ (AOS) mixed surfactant system was comparatively studied. The co‐evaporation method was used for complex formation, which was subsequently characterized by analytical methods such as FTIR and XRD techniques. Important physical properties such as solubility, dispersion stability, and wettability were also studied.     

Study of the Cloud Point of the Phenothiazine Drug Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride: Effect of Surfactants and Polymers

Surfactants/polymers are used extensively in drug delivery as drug carriers. We herein report the effect of surfactants and polymers on the cloud point (CP) of amphiphilic drug chlorpromazine hydrochloride. At fixed drug concentration (50 mM) and pH (6.7) these additives affect the CP in accordance to their nature and structure: anionic surfactants show an increase followed by a decrease, whereas cationic (conventional as well as gemini) and nonionic surfactants show continous increase. The behavior with polymers is dictated by the number of units present in a particular polymer. Increase in drug concentration and pH, in presence of fixed amounts of CTAB, increases and decreases the CP, respectively. Variation of CP with pH at various fixed gemini concentrations shows that gemini surfactants are better candidates for drug delivery.     

New Approach to Determine the Phase Transition Temperature,Cloud Point,of Thermoresponsive Polymers

In this study, a novel method to determine the cloud point temperature variation in aqueous solutions of thermoresponsive homo- and copolymers was developed. Poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) and triblock copolymers of poly(t-butyl acrylate-co-acrylic acid)-b-poly(N-vinylcaprolactam)-b-(t-butyl acrylate-co-acrylic acid) (P[(tBA-co-AA)-b-PVCL-b-P(tBA-co-AA)] were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and used as models. The incorporation of AA units (hydrophilic segments) into the polymeric chain of PVCL influenced the phase transition, increasing the cloud point temperature of the final copolymer. The cloud point temperatures of the PVCL and the triblock copolymer P(tBA-co-AA)-b-PVCL-b-P(tBA-co-AA) were determined by measuring the transmittance of aqueous solutions of the polymers in a Turbiscan Lab instrument in the range of 29 to 40 C. This is the first study in which Turbiscan Lab is used to determine the cloud point temperature.
