Glass-capillary gas chromatography of chlorobenzenes on SE-30 and Carbowax 20M columns. Simultaneous determination of chlorobenzenes and chlorophenols

1983

Gas chromatography of benzene and all chlorobenzenes has been studied on SE-30 and Carbowax 20M glasscapillary columns under various operating conditions. The benzene isomers are eluted on both columns according to their boiling points. Separation of all components in a mixture is achieved on Carbowax 20M, whereas on SE-30 the peaks of closely related isomers overlapped. Also one partial overlapping is observed on a non-polar phase. The relative retention times for compounds are given and the retention order is discussed. The retention behaviour of chlorobenzenes and chlorophenols is compared. By using an SE-30 quartz-capillary column a mixture of 33 individual components gives 29 resolved …

Recent advances on ionic liquid uses in separation techniques

2018

International audience; The molten organic salts with melting point below 100°C, commonly called ionic liquids (ILs) have found numerous uses in separation sciences due to their exceptional properties as non molecular solvents, namely, a negligible vapor pressure, a high thermal stability, and unique solvating properties due to polarity and their ionic character of molten salts. Other properties, such as viscosity, boiling point, water solubility, and electrochemical window, are adjustable playing with which anion is associated with which cation. This review focuses on recent development of the uses of ILs in separation techniques actualizing our 2008 article (same authors, J. Chromatogr. A…

Phase equilibria and multiple azeotropy in the associating system methanol + diethylamine

1997

Vapor−liquid equilibrium has been measured for the binary system of methanol (1) + diethylamine (2) at 101.3 and 300 kPa. Both equilibrium isobars show strong deviations from ideal behavior and a single maximum boiling point azeotrope of practically constant composition x1 ≈ 0.76, corresponding to a temperature of 339.8 K at 101.3 kPa and 370.0 K at 300 kPa. The trend of the high-pressure isobar data is consistent with the formation of a second minimum boiling azeotrope, confirming the multiple azeotropic behavior found by others at a higher temperature (398.58 K). Furthermore, the excess Gibbs energy is negative and inflects markedly with composition with increased pressure. The equilibriu…

Inactivation of dried spores of Bacillus subtilis 168 by a treatment combining high temperature and pressure

2019

International audience; Specific treatments combining high temperatures of up to 150 °C and moderate pressure of up to 0.6 MPa have been applied to Bacillus subtilis 168 spores conditioned at different aw levels (between 0.10 and 0.70) corresponding to different residual water contents within the spore core. The spores were treated as a dry powder in a pressurized nitrogen environment or in water/glycerol solutions.These thermodynamic conditions were intended to prevent any water evaporation from the spore core during time/temperature treatments.Our results clearly show that retaining liquid water in the core by applying pressure during the treatment resulted in greater spore destruction (b…

Comparison of speed-vacuum method and heat-drying method to measure brain water content of small brain samples

2016

Abstract Background A reliable measurement of brain water content (wet-to-dry ratio) is an important prerequisite for conducting research on mechanisms of brain edema formation. The conventionally used oven-drying method suffers from several limitations, especially in small samples. A technically demanding and time-consuming alternative is freeze-drying. New method Centrifugal vacuum concentrators (e.g. SpeedVac/speed-vacuum drying) are a combination of vacuum-drying and centrifugation, used to reduce the boiling temperature. These concentrators have the key advantages of improving the freeze-drying speed and maintaining the integrity of dried samples, thus, allowing e.g. DNA analyses. In t…

Numerical support for laser welding of zinc-coated sheets process development

2002

Abstract A lap welding process for zinc-coated sheets has been developed with the help of numerical simulations. This process has been improved and is now compatible with industrial requirements. The zinc boiling point (1180 K) is lower than the steel melting point (1800 K). Consequently, a violent boiling of zinc in melted steel produces serious defects in the seam. To get round this difficulty, we choose to consider a two-spots process: the first spot vaporizes the zinc coating at the interface; the second one welds the sheets. Previously, we develop a numerical model that permits a process parameters choice and limits the plan of experimentations. The zinc ablation spotlight shape is cho…

Synthesis of novel reactive coalescing agents and their application in a latex coating

2002

The syntheses and the performance of five glycidyl compounds as novel reactive coalescing agents are presented. The reactive coalescing agents were synthesized with moderate yields, structures were verified using spectroscopic methods, and the properties of glycidyl compounds such as boiling points and evaporation rates were measured. The applicability of five glycidyl compounds as reactive coalescing agents was tested in characterized carboxyl functional latex. Properties like pendulum hardness, gloss, and efficiency of the glycidyl compound to reduce the minimum film-formation temperature (MFFT) of the latex were measured from the cured latex films. The application test results were compa…

Atom-based non-stochastic and stochastic bilinear indices: Application to QSPR/QSAR studies of organic compounds

2008

The recently introduced bilinear indices are applied to the QSAR/QSPR studies of heteroatomic molecules. These novel atom-based molecular fingerprints are used to predict the boiling point of 28 alkyl-alcohols and partition coefficient, specific rate constant and antibacterial activity of 34 2-furylethylenes derivatives. The obtained models are statistically significant and show rather very good stability in a cross-validation experiment. The comparison with other approaches exposes a good behavior of our method in this QSPR studies. The obtained results suggest that with the present method, it is possible to obtain a good estimation of physical, chemical and physicochemical properties for …

Reflux reactions for chromatography

1976

Reactions under pressure are mainly used to prepare derivatives before chromatographic analysis because of the lack of microequipment. A ml-refluxer has been designed to allow reactions under atmospheric pressure for volumes from 0.2 to 5 cm3. The reaction temperature is determined by the boiling point of the solvent thus derivatives of heat sensitive compounds can be made in the micro scale. With the aid of the ml-refluxer large series of derivatisations can be carried out and hence the reaction parameters can be optimized. This is shown at the example of the alkylation of barbituric acids for gas chromatography, where thus only N,N′-derivatives were obtained. The reliability of the appara…

1983

Solutions of poly (decyl methacrylate) in isooctane (2,2, 4-trimethylpentane) show lower critical solution temperatures (LCST) that lie well below the thermal degradation of the polymer. The corresponding exothermal theta-temperature (from the Shultz-Flory plot) amounts to 210°C. The increase in solvent quality by pressure turns out to be very pronounced (d Tc/dp ≈ +1 K/bar). With solutions of the polymer in motor oils, high temperature demixing is unlikely to occur below their boiling point. The theoretical evaluation of published experimental data for 11 different systems exhibiting LCSTs demonstrates the following: Under the equilibrium vapour pressure of the solution high temperature de…
