Evaluation of defect induced surface heterogeneity in Metal-Organic Framework materials with alkali dopants employing adsorption isotherm modelling

In this article, an assessment of surface structural heterogeneity in porous metal organic framework (MOF) structure has been demonstrated by employing the methane and carbon-dioxide adsorption isotherms data. The virgin MIL-101-(Cr) MOF was synthesized by the hydrothermal method and defects were induced in the MOF structure by doping with various alkali (K, Na, Li) cations. The synthesized MOFs were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX and BET measurement techniques. In order to understand the defect induced surface heterogeneity by alkali cation dopants, the surface energy distributions for CH₄ and CO₂ adsorptions on MOFs were measured by Dubinin – Astakhov model equation. The surface heterogeneity is mainly controlled by the limiting uptakes of adsorbates, the polarizability of adsorbates and the adsorbate-adsorbent interaction energy.

Isometric crystallization of stretched poly(e-caprolactone) sheets for medical applications

Low melting temperature thermoplastic sheets based on poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) can be formed directly on the patient and are used as immobilization device (mask) in the radiation therapy. The immobilization mask is allowed to harden in isometric conditions on the body at room temperature. A new method for isometric crystallization kinetics of thermoplastic polymer sheets is developed using a tensile-strength instrument. The isometric crystallization method allows investigating the shrinkage force on time of crystallization of stretched samples of thermoplastic polymer sheets or immobilization medical devices. The dependence of the shrinkage force on time is described by Avrami equation and the kinetics parameters of isometric crystallization are calculated. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Tafel slopes from first principles

Tafel slopes for multistep electrochemical reactions are derived from first principles. The derivation takes place in two stages. First, Dirac’s perturbation theory is used to solve the Schrödinger equation. Second, current–voltage curves are obtained by integrating the single-state results over the full density of states in electrolyte solutions. Thermal equilibrium is assumed throughout. Somewhat surprisingly, it is found that the symmetry factor that appears in the Butler–Volmer equation is different from the symmetry factor that appears in electron transfer theory, and a conversion formula is given. Finally, the Tafel slopes are compiled in a convenient look-up table.     

纳滤膜对电解质溶液分离特性的理论研究(II): 混合电解质溶液

假定纳滤膜具有狭缝状孔, 使用纯水透过系数、膜孔径及膜表面电势来表征纳滤膜的分离特征, 用流体力学半径和无限稀释扩散系数表征了离子特性. 采用扩展Nernst-Planck方程、Donnan平衡模型和Poisson-Boltzmann理论描述了混合电解质溶液中离子在膜孔内的传递现象, 计算了三种商用纳滤膜(ESNA1-LF, ESNA1和LES90)对同阴离子、同阳离子和含四种离子的混合电解质体系中离子的截留率, 并与实验数据进行了比较. 计算结果表明, 电解质溶液中离子在纳滤膜孔内传递的主要机理是离子的扩散和电迁移, 纳滤膜对混合电解质溶液中离子的分离效果主要由空间位阻和静电效应决定. 该模型在低浓度时对含一价离子的混合电解质溶液通过纳滤膜的截留率计算结果比较准确, 但对高浓度或含高价离子的混合电解质溶液则偏差较大.     

Mutual solubilities of hydrocarbons and water with the CPA EoS

The knowledge of hydrocarbon/water phase equilibria is important in the design and operation of equipment for petroleum transport and refining and petrochemical plants. The presence of water in a hydrocarbon mixture can affect the product quality and damage the operation equipment due to corrosion and formation of gas hydrates. Tracing the concentration of hydrocarbons in aqueous media is also important for technical purposes like preventing oil spills and for ecological concerns such as predicting the fate of these organic pollutants in the environment.
