Liquid-liquid equilibria for mixtures of (ethylene carbonate + aromatic hydrocarbon + cyclohexane)

Liquid-liquid equilibrium data for mixtures of (ethylene carbonate + benzene + cyclohexane) at temperatures 303.15 and 313.15 K and (ethylene carbonate + BTX + cyclohexane) at temperature 313.15 K are reported, where the BTX is benzene, toluene and m-xylene. The compositions of liquid phases at equilibrium were determined by gas liquid chromatography. The selectivity factors and partition coefficients of ethylene carbonate for the extraction of benzene, toluene and m-xylene from (ethylene carbonate + BTX + cyclohexane) are calculated and presented. The obtained results are compared with the selectivity factors and partition coefficients of ethylene carbonate for the extraction of benzene from (ethylene carbonate + benzene + cyclohexane). The liquid-liquid equilibrium data were correlated with the UNIQUAC and NRTL activity coefficient models. The phase diagrams for the studied mixtures are presented and the correlated tie line results have been compared with the experimental data. The comparisons indicate the applicability of the UNIQUAC and NRTL activity coefficients model for liquid-liquid equilibrium calculations of the studied mixtures. The tie line data of the studied mixtures also were correlated using the Hand method.     

(Liquid + liquid) equilibria of (water + propionic acid + methyl isoamyl ketone or diisobutyl ketone or ethyl isoamyl keton) at T = 298.2 K

(Liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) data for (water + propionic acid + solvent) were measured at T = 298.2 K and atmospheric pressure. The solvents were methyl isoamyl ketone (5-methyl-2-hexanone), ethyl isoamyl ketone (5-methyl-3-heptanone) and diisobutyl ketone. The tie-line data were correlated by means of the NRTL and UNIQUAC equation, and compared with results predicted by the UNIFAC method. A comparison of the extracting capabilities of the solvents was made with respect to distribution coefficients, separation factors, and solvent free selectivity bases.     

Simultaneous derivatization and air-assisted liquid–liquid microextraction of some aliphatic amines in different aqueous samples followed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection

The paper presents a new method based on simultaneous derivatization and air-assisted liquid–liquid microextraction (AALLME) for the extraction and preconcentration of some aliphatic amines prior to gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID). Primary aliphatic amines are derivatized and extracted simultaneously by a fast reaction with butylchloroformate (derivatization agent/extraction solvent) under mild conditions. The mixture of butylchloroformate and aqueous sample solution is rapidly sucked into a 10-mL glass syringe and then is injected into a test tube with conical bottom and the procedure is repeated seven times. After centrifuging the resulted cloudy solution, the derivatized analytes in the sedimented phase are determined by GC-FID. The influence of main factors on the efficiency of derivatization/extraction procedure is studied. Under the optimal conditions, the enrichment factors (EFs) for aliphatic amines are obtained in the range of 248–360 and limits of detection (LODs) are between 0.30 and 2.6 μg L⁻¹. The obtained extraction recoveries ranged from 50 to 72% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 4.8% for intra-day (n = 6) and inter-days (n = 4) precision. The method is successfully applied to determine some aliphatic amines in environmental water samples.

An overview of analytical methodologies for the determination of antibiotics in environmental waters

The widespread occurrence of antibiotics as contaminants in the aquatic environment has increased attention in the last years. The concern over the release of antibiotics into the environment is related primarily to the potential for the development of antimicrobial resistance among microorganisms. This article presents an overview of analytical methodologies for the determination of quinolone (Qs) and fluoroquinolone (FQs), macrolide (MLs), tetracycline (TCs), sulfonamide (SAs) antibiotics and trimethoprim (TMP) in different environmental waters. The analysis of these antibiotics has usually been carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) or tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and to a lesser extent by ultraviolet (UV) or fluorescence detection (FD). A very important step before LC analysis is sample preparation and extraction leading to elimination of interferences and prevention of matrix effect and preconcentration of target analytes.     

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.     

Extension of the Wilson-NRF Gibbs Energy Model in Correlating Vapor-Liquid and Liquid-Liquid Phase Behavior of Polymer-Polymer Aqueous Two-Phase Systems

In this work, the proposed model by Pazuki et al. based on the Local Composition Concept (LCC), has been used in correlating the vapor-liquid phase behavior of polymer solutions and the liquid-liquid phase behavior of aqueous two-phase systems. The Flory-Huggins model has been used as the combinatorial part of the proposed model, as well as the model proposed by Pazuki et al. was considered as the residual term. The proposed model has been used in correlating the vapor-liquid phase behavior for a number of PEG-Water systems at constant temperature. The results obtained from the proposed model have been compared with those obtained from the Poly-NRTL and the Poly-Wilson models. The results showed that the proposed model can accurately correlate the VLE data for PEG-Water systems. Also, the proposed model has been used to obtain phase behavior of aqueous two-phase systems for PEG-DEX-Water systems. The results obtained from the proposed model have been compared with those obtained from the UNIQUAC and the UNIQUAC-NRF models. The results showed that the proposed model can accurately correlate liquid-liquid phase behavior of aqueous two-phase systems than the UNIQUAC and the UNIQUAC-NRF models.     

Liquid–liquid equilibrium of the ternary system water + acetic acid + sec-butyl acetate

Experimental liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) of the water–acetic acid–sec-butyl acetate ternary system was investigated at 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K and at atmospheric pressure. Separation factors were also evaluated for the immiscibility region. The NRTL and UNIQUAC models were applied to fit the experimental data for the ternary system. The binary interaction parameters obtained from both models were found to be successfully correlated with the equilibrium compositions. The UNIFAC group contribution method was employed to predict the observed ternary LLE data. It was found that four types of the UNIFAC model (UNIFAC, UNIFAC-LL, UNIFAC-DMD, and UNIFAC-LBY) did not provide a good prediction of the LLE data for this ternary system.
