Influence of Cycle Temperatures on the Thermochemical Heat Storage Densities in the Systems Water/Microporous and Water/Mesoporous Adsorbents

The adsorption equilibrium of water on microporous adsorbents (zeolites of NaA-, NaY- and NaX-type as well as their ion exchanged forms) and on mesoporous adsorbents (different silica gels and composite material i.e. silica gel + salt hydrate) has been studied experimentally and theoretically. Using the Dubinin theory of pore filling the characteristic curves of the adsorption systems and other relevant dependences such as isotherms, isobars, isosteres and the curve of the differential heat of adsorption were calculated. For all systems investigated the adsorption were calculated. A_ads and the desorption potential A_des of the closed heat storage system were estimated. These values define the working range of the adsorption/desorption cycle and allow to calculate the specific heat storage density Δ h_sp. On the basis of Δ h_sp the different adsorbents were compared in order to select the optimal porous storage material for a given application. The presented experimental and theoretical investigations show that the adsorption systems water-zeolite and water-composites are promising working pairs for thermochemical heat storage processes for hot tap water supply and space heating of single family dwellings. The advantage of the water-composite system is the low desorption temperature (solar energy) the main shortcoming the low temperature lift. The advantage of the water zeolite system is the high temperature lift, the shortcoming are the relative high desorption temperatures.     

Hydrate inclusion compounds

There are three general classes of hydrate inclusion compounds: the gas hydrates, the per-alkyl onium salt hydrates, and the alkylamine hydrates. The first are clathrates, the second are ionic inclusion compounds, the third are semi-clathrates. Crystallization occurs because the H₂O molecules, like SiO₂, can form three-dimensional four-connected nets. With water alone, these are the ices. In the inclusion hydrates, nets with larger voids are stabilized by including other guest molecules. Anions and hydrogen-bonding functional groups can replace water molecules in these nets, in which case the guest species are cations or hydrophobic moieties of organic molecules. The guest must satisfy two criteria. One is dimensional, to ensure a comfortable fit within the voids. The other is functional. The guest molecules cannot have either a single strong hydrogen-bonding group, such as an amide or a carboxylate, or a number of moderately strong hydrogen-bonding groups, as in a polyol or a carbohydrate.The common topological feature of these nets is the pentagonal dodecahedra: i.e., 5¹²-hedron. These are combined with 5¹²6²-hedra, 5¹²6³-hedra, 5¹²6⁴-hedra and combinations of these polyhedra, to from five known nets. Two of these are the well-known 12 and 17 Å cubic gas hydrate structures,Pm3n, Fd3m; one is tetragonal,P4 ₂/mnm, and two are hexagonal,P6 ₃/mmc andP6/mmm. The clathrate hydrates provide examples of the two cubic and the tetragonal structures. The alkyl onium salt hydrates have distorted versions of thePm3n cubic, the tetragonal, and one of the hexagonal structures. The alkylamine hydrate structures hitherto determined provide examples of distorted versions of the two hexagonal structures.There are also three hydrate inclusion structures, represented by single examples, which do not involve the 5¹²-hedra. These are 4(CH₃)₃CHNH₂·39H₂O which is a clathrate; HPF₆·6H₂O and (CH₃)₄NOH·5H₂O which are ionic-water inclusion hydrates. In the monoclinic 6(CH₃CH₂CH₂NH₂)·105H₂O and the orthorhombic 3(CH₂CH₂)₂NH·26H₂O, the water structure is more complex. The idealization of these nets in terms of the close-packing of semi-regular polyhedra becomes difficult and artificial. There is an approach towards the complexity of the water salt structures found in the crystals of proteins.     

A Sensitive Spectrophotometric Determination of Nitrite in Water and Soil

A highly sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of nitrite in water and soil has been developed. The reaction of nitrite with acidified potassium iodide to liberate iodine which oxidizes leuco‐crystal violet (LCV) to form crystal violet having absorption maxima at 590 nm forms the bases of this method. In aqueous medium the system obeys Beer's law in the range of 0.1 to 1.0 μg per 25 mL (0.004–0.04 ppm), while in an extractive system the range is 0.025–0.25 μg in 100 mL (0.00025–0.0025 ppm). The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity were found to be 1.54 × 10⁶ 1 mol^?1 cm^?1 and 44 pg cm^?2, respectively.     

Solid-State NMR Study of Phase Separation and Order of Water Molecules and Silanol Groups in Polysiloxane Networks

Homogeneity and structure of organically modified polysiloxane networks prepared by sol-gel co-condensation, as well as location and nature of water molecules and silanol groups were studied by 1D and 2D solid-state NMR. ¹H–²⁹Si and ¹H–¹H interatomic distances were estimated from variable contact-time CP/MAS experiments, ¹H NMR chemical shifts and off-resonance WISE NMR. A structure model of these networks is proposed and discussed. The fraction of proton-inaccessible units Q⁴ in the networks decreases with increasing amounts of dimethylsiloxane (D) and methylsiloxane (T) units. In contrast to systems prepared by co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) with dimethyl(diethoxy)silane (DMDEOS), proton-inaccessible units form essential fraction in networks prepared by co-condensation of TEOS with methyl(triethoxy)silane (MTEOS). The proton-accessible part of the networks with high O/Si ratios is nano-heterogeneous phase, which is composed of water containing Q ⁱ particles separated by copolymer domains. The overall homogeneity and uniformity of binding sites around silanol groups increases by co-condensation TEOS with DMDEOS or MTEOS, while the amount of physisorbed water as well as the hydrogen bond strength decreases, as compared with neat silica gel prepared by polycondensation of TEOS.
