Binding of a fluorescent dansylcadaverine-substance P analogue to negatively charged phospholipid membranes.
2000
Abstract We have investigated the binding of a new dansylcadaverine derivative of substance P (DNC-SP) with negatively charged small unilamellar vesicles composed of a mixture of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and either phosphatidylglycerol (PG) or phosphatidylserine (PS) using fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The changes in fluorescence properties were used to obtain association isotherms at variable membrane negative charges and at different ionic strengths. The experimental association isotherms were analyzed using two binding approaches: (i) the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and the partition equilibrium model, that neglect the activity coefficients; and (ii) the partition equilibrium m…
Thermodynamic properties and conductivities of some dodecylsurfactants in water
1988
Densities, heat capacities, enthalpies of dilution, osmotic coefficients and conductivities are reported for dodecylamine hydrochloride, dodecyldimethylammonium and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride in water over a wide range of concentration. The last two properties were also measured for dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide. From the thermodynamic data partial molar volumes, heat capacities and relative enthalpies and nonideal free energies and entropies were derived as a function of the surfactant concentration. The cmc's and degree of counterion dissociation were also calculated from the transport properties. It is shown that the trends of volumes, enthalpies, free energies and entropies ar…
Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for Binary and Ternary Mixtures of Dipropyl Ether, 1-Propyl Alcohol, and Butyl Propionate
2006
Consistent vapor−liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 101.3 kPa have been determined for the ternary system dipropyl ether + 1-propyl alcohol + butyl propionate and two constituent binary systems: dipropyl ether + butyl propionate and 1-propyl alcohol + butyl propionate. The dipropyl ether + butyl propionate system exhibits ideal behavior, and the 1-propyl alcohol + butyl propionate system shows positive deviations from Raoult's law. No additional azeotropes are present. The activity coefficients of the solutions were correlated with its composition by the Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC models. The ternary system is well-predicted from binary interaction parameters. Butyl propionate breaks the dipr…
Phase Equilibrium for the Esterification Reaction of Acetic Acid + Butan-1-ol at 101.3 kPa
2007
In this work, the thermodynamic behavior of catalytic esterification reaction equilibrium and vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) for the quaternary reactive system acetic acid + butan-1-ol + butyl acetate + water and constituent binary systems acetic acid + butyl acetate, butan-1-ol + butyl acetate, and butan-1-ol + water have been determined at 101.3 kPa, and liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) of the binary system butan-1-ol + water have also been determined. The esterification reaction rate of the acetic acid and butan-1-ol mixture is very slow. So, in this study, p-toluenesulfonic acid was selected as the catalyst to accelerate the chemical reaction. The measured VLE data were correlated by the N…
Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria of Trichloroethylene with 1-Butanol and 2-Butanol at 20 and 100 kPa
1996
Vapor−liquid equilibria for trichloroethylene + 1-butanol, and + 2-butanol are reported at 20 and 100 kPa. The two systems satisfy the point-to-point thermodynamic consistency test. Both systems show a positive deviation from ideality.
1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Dicyanamide as a Very Efficient Entrainer for the Extractive Distillation of the Acetone + Methanol System
2012
Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) for the ternary system acetone + methanol +1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([emim][DCA]) as well as the two solvent + IL binary systems have been obtained at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. The addition of [emim][DCA] to the solvent mixture produced a salting-out effect greater than that produced by other ionic liquids, showing that this ionic liquid is, until now, the best IL tested as an entrainer for the extractive distillation of the acetone + methanol mixtures, causing the azeotrope to disappear for an ionic liquid mole fraction as low as 0.031, at 100 kPa. This behavior can be explained on the basis of the influence of the IL concent…
Phase Equilibria Involved in Extractive Distillation of Dipropyl Ether + 1-Propyl Alcohol Using N,N-Dimethylformamide as Entrainer
2007
Consistent vapor−liquid equilibrium data for the binary and ternary systems dipropyl ether (1) + 1-propyl alcohol (2) + N,N-dimethylformamide (3) are reported at 101.3 kPa. The results indicate that dipropyl ether (1) + N,N-dimethylformamide (3) system exhibits a positive deviation from ideal behavior and that 1-propyl alcohol (2) + N,N-dimethylformamide (3) system deviates negatively from ideality. The activity coefficients of the solutions were correlated by the Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC models. It is shown that these models allow a very good prediction of the phase equilibrium of the ternary system using the pertinent parameters of the binary systems. In addition, the Wisniak−Tamir relat…
Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for the Binary Systems Isobutanol with m-Xylene, o-Xylene and p-Xylene at 101.3 kPa
1999
Vapor−liquid equilibria were measured for binary systems of isobutanol with m-xylene, o-xylene, and p-xylene at 101.3 kPa using a recirculating still. The accuracy of experimental measurements was ±0.1 K in temperature, ±0.01 kPa in pressure, and ±0.001 in mole fraction. The results were determined to be thermodynamically consistent according to the point-to-point consistency and Wisniak tests. All the systems show moderate positive deviations from ideality. The data were correlated with five liquid-phase activity coefficient models (Margules, Van Laar, Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC).
Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for the binary systems isobutyl alcohol+isobutyl acetate and tert-butyl alcohol+tert-butyl acetate at 20 and 101.3kPa
2005
Abstract New consistent vapor–liquid equilibrium data for the binary systems isobutyl alcohol (IBA) + isobutyl acetate (IBAc) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) + tert-butyl acetate (TBAc) are reported at 20 and 101.3 kPa. The IBA + IBAc system, which deviates positively from ideal behavior, can be described as symmetric solution and presents azeotrope at both pressures. The TBA + TBAc system shows positive deviations from ideal behavior and presents azeotrope only at 20 kPa. The activity coefficients and boiling points of the solutions were correlated with their composition by the Wilson, UNIQUAC, NRTL and Wisniak–Tamir equations.
Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibrium in the Systems 2,3-Dimethylpentane + Methyl 1,1-Dimethylethyl Ether, + Diisopropyl Ether and + Methyl 1,1-Dimethylp…
1999
New, consistent vapor−liquid equilibrium data for the binary systems 2,3-dimethylpentane + methyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether, + diisopropyl ether, and + methyl 1,1-dimethylpropyl ether are reported at 101.3 kPa. The measured systems deviate slightly from ideal behavior, and only the system methyl 1,1-dimethylpropyl ether + 2,3-dimethylpentane presents an azeotrope. The activity coefficients for the solutions were correlated with their compositions by the Wilson, UNIQUAC, and NRTL models. Wisniak−Tamir equations were used to correlate the boiling points of the solutions with their compositions.
