Physicochemical study of ovalbumin in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate in aqueous media

The interactions of sodium dodecyl sulphate with ovalbumin in aqueous solution at room temperature are described for a wide concentration range of both substances. A phase diagram covering a wide range of concentrations shows a total of five different morphologies. Dynamic light scattering of the samples from each morphology offered better understanding of the different structures (between three and four) present in the solution. The amount of ovalbumin present in the solution was confirmed with differential scanning spectroscopy, while the interactions between sodium dodecyl sulphate and ovalbumin were interpreted by zeta potential and electrical conductivity measurements.

Spreading and compression of n-hexadecyl acrylate at liquid-air interface

Usingn-hexadecyl acrylate, surface pressure-area (F-A) curves and equilibrium spreading pressuresF ^e were measured at various temperatures (5.7°–46°C) by the Langmuir balance (F-A) and the Wilhelmy-plate method (F ^e). At low temperatures (T<13 °C) condensed films and the liquid-condensed/solid condensed transition can be observed. At high temperatures (T>30 °C) liquid-expanded films occur. In the intermediate range the compression curves have two transition points. The transition pressureF ₁ between liquid-expanded and condensed film has a marked temperature dependence. The transition enthalpiesH ₁ decrease with increasing temperature and become zero at 29.2 °C. The second transition is related to a transition between the condensed films (F ₂). The slight temperature dependence of this transition is accompanied by an increasing change of area as well as by increasing transition enthalpiesH ₂.TheF ^e-T curve has two distinct breaks, at the melting pointT _m and atT=30 °C. The break atT _m is due to the melting process and the break atT=30 °C is caused by a phase transition between a liquid-expanded film and a condensed film.The phase diagram was constructed from the transition pressures. It can be demonstrated that the highest pressures of the thermodynamic stable film occurs atT _m. At temperaturesT>T _m equilibrium spreading pressure and equilibrium collapse pressure are identical whereas atT _m supercompression of the monolayer occurs. The film in this state behaves like a supercooled liquid. Obviously, rupture and collapse of such a film lead to a thermodynamically metastable bulk phase.     

Phase Equilibria and Crystal Structure of Complex Oxides in the La–Sr–Co–Ni– System

Phase equilibria in the La–Sr–Co–Ni–O system were studied in air at 1100°. The samples for the study were synthesized by the standard ceramic and citrate processes. The limiting solubility and structure of La_1-xSr_xCo_1-yNi_yO_3- and (La_1-xSr_x)₂Co_1-yNi_yO₄ solid solutions were determined by Xray powder diffraction analysis. La_1-xSr_xCo_1-yNi_yO₃- solid solutions with 0 x 0.5 have a distorted rhombohedral perovskitelike structure (R c space group). An increase in the strontium concentration reduces the rhombohedral distortions, and the compounds with x < 0.5 have an ideal cubic structure (Pm3m space group). (La_1-xSr_x)₂Co_1-yNi_yO₄ crystals have a tetragonal K₂NiF₄ type unit cell (I4/mmm space group). The relationships between unit cell parameters and compositions were obtained for singlephase La_1-xSr_xCo_1-yNi_yO_3- and (La_1-xSr_x)₂Co_1-yNi_yO₄ samples. The existence regions of La_1-xSr_xCo_1-yNi_yO₃- and La_1-xSr_x)₂Co_1-yNi_yO₄ solid solutions were distinguished on P–T phase diagrams.     

The ternary system H2O–Fe(NO3)3–Co(NO3)2 isotherms 0 and 15 °C

The solid–liquid equilibria of the ternary system H₂O–Fe(NO₃)₃–Co(NO₃)₂ were studied by using a synthetic method based on conductivity measurements.

Two isotherms were established at 0 and 15 °C, and the stable solid phases which appear are the iron nitrate nonahydrate (Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O), the iron nitrate hexahydrate (Fe(NO₃)₃·6H₂O), the cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O) and the cobalt nitrate trihydrate (Co(NO₃)₂·3H₂O).     

Binary solid-liquid phase diagram of the two diastereomer racemates of triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC)

Triglycidyl isocyanurate [2451-62-9] as a trifunctional epoxy monomer is mostly used as curing agent. It exists in the form of two diastereomer racemates according to the configuration of the three chiral carbon atoms in the molecule, i.e. beta- or RRR/SSS and alpha- or RRS/SSR. The binary solid-liquid phase diagram of the two diastereomer racemates has been determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The two diastereomer racemates have different crystalline structures and are physical mixtures with an eutectic phase diagram. The eutectic mixture melts at 92.3 ± 1.0 °C and has alpha-TGIC content of 93.44% by mass or mole. With the help of the phase diagram the ratio of the two diastereomer racemates in TGIC may be determined. The binary phase diagram shows that beta-TGIC can be separated with efficiency from the mixture and may serve for enantiomer synthesis of high optical activity giving rise to the development of novel polymers.

The solid-liquid equilibria of the quasi-quaternary system H₂O-Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O-Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O-NH₄NO₃ were studied at 25°C by using a synthetic method based on conductivity measurements. Three isoplethic sections has been established at 25°C and the stable solid phases which appear are: NH₄NO₃(IV), Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, anhydrous Cu(NO₃)₂, Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O and metastable Cu(NO₃)·2.5H₂O. Neither double salts, nor mixed crystals are observed at these temperatures and composition range.

Phase study of the system Li2Se-In2Se3

The binary system Li₂Se-In₂Se₃ was investigated in the range of 40 to 100 mol% In₂Se₃ by thermoanalytical and X-ray methods. The system is characterized by two eutectic points. Beside the two binary components and the known ternary compound LiInSe2 another ternary compound crystallizes in this binary system at 83.3 mol% In₂Se₃. This compound was identified as LiIn₅Se₈. In contrast to (Cu, Ag)^IB₅ ^IIIC₈ ^VI compounds such as CuIn₅S₈ [1] it does not crystallize in the spinel structure. LiIn₅Se₈ shows a stratified structure. The melting point was determined to be at 810°C. Starting from room temperature up to the melting point no phase transitions were observed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Chemistry of borate in salt lake brine (XXXIV)

The crystallization processes of hydrated Mg-borates, boric, magnesium hydroxide and Mg-oxychloride from MgO-B₂O₃-18%MgCl₂-H₂O supersaturated solution at 20°C have been studied by kinetic method. The crystallization solid phases were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, IR spectra, thermal analysis and chemical analysis. The liquid-solid phase diagram of thermodynamic nonequilibrium state has been given. In this phase diagram, there exist eight crystallization fields, boric acid(H₃BO₃), trigomagneborite(MgO · 3B₂O₃ · 7.5H₂O, MgO · 3B₂O₃ · 7H₂O), hungchaoite(MgO · 2B₂O₃ · 9H₂O), inderite(2MgO · 3B₂O₃ · 15H₂O), chloropinnoite(2MgO · 2B₂O₃ · MgCl₂ · 14H₂O), magnesium hydroxide(Mg(OH)₂) and magnesium oxychloride (5Mg(OH)₂ · MgCl₂ · 8H₂O).
