Liquid viscosity and flow rate effects on interfacial area in packed columns

1989

Abstract The influences of liquid kinematic viscosity and liquid flow rate on effective interfacial area for chemical absorption in a Raschig ring packed column were studied by absorbing carbon dioxide into potassium carbonate-bicarbonate-arsenite solutions. The viscosities of the absorbing liquid were varied by the addition of sugar. Analysis of the data shows that an increase in liquid flow rate increases the effective interfacial area over the whole viscosity range considered. The influence of liquid viscosity is more complex as the interfacial area increases with viscosity for low values, while decreasing at higher viscosities. Two correlations have been developed to express this behavi…

Methodisches zur bestimmung der viskositätszahl (staudinger-index) von cellulosen und cellulosenitraten

1959

An einem groseren Material von Cellulosenitraten wird die Konzentrationsabhangigkeit der spezifischen Viskositat im Hinblick auf die Reproduzierbarkeit der Einzelmessung und der Extrapolation nach c = 0 (bzw. ηsp = 0) untersucht. Es zeigt sich, das der eigent. liche Mesfehler, der im Mittel weniger als ± 2 % betragt, gelegentlich von einer erheblichen Inhomogenitat des Materials uberlagert wird. Als sicherstes Verfahren zur Bestimmung von [η] erwiest sich die Extrapolation der ηspc-Werte von mindestens vier Konzentrationen nach ηsp = 0, wobei ηsp far jede Konzentration aus vier Einzelmessungen gemittelt wird. Einfacher und annahernd von gleicher Genauigkeit ist die Berechung von [η] nach SC…

On the factors governing the pressure dependence of the viscosity of moderately concentrated polymer solutions

1982

Viscosity measurements were carried out as a function of pressure and temperature with solutions of polystyrene in eight (endothermal) θ-solvents at the respective critical composition by means of a Searle-type apparatus. A rolling-ball viscometer was used for the investigation of the pure solvents. In all cases the viscosity coefficient increases in a more or less exponential manner when the pressure is raised. For θ-conditions, the volumes of activation of the solutions exceed that of the pure solvent by typically 10–15%. The exact amount of this extra efffect stemming from the presence of the polymer and its variation with temperature can be qualitatively correlated with the heats of mix…

Rigid Hyperbranched Polycarbonate Polyols from CO2 and Cyclohexene-Based Epoxides

2017

Hyperbranched, multifunctional polycarbonate polyols based on CO2, cyclohexene oxide (CHO), and the “inimer” (initiator–monomer) (4-hydroxymethyl)cyclohexene oxide (HCHO) were prepared in one-pot syntheses. The related linear poly(hydroxymethyl cyclohexene carbonate) structures based on protected HCHO and postpolymerization deprotection were also synthesized as model compounds. The content of hydroxyl functionalities was adjustable for both linear and hyperbranched terpolymer systems. All CO2/epoxide polymerizations were catalyzed by the (R,R)-(salcy)-Co(III)Cl complex. The polycarbonates obtained were comprehensively investigated using various 1D and 2D NMR techniques, SEC, FT-IR, UV–vis s…

Investigation of compatibility of a dicyanate ester monomer and polysulfone by size-exclusion chromatography and viscometry

2003

The influence of solvent on the compatibility behaviour of Arocy B10, a cyanate ester monomer, and polysulfone (PSF) was investigated by means of dilute solution viscometry and of the preferential solvation parameter at 25 °C. The ternary systems under study are: tetrahydrofuran/Arocy B10/polysulfone (PSF), N,N-dimethylformamide/Arocy B10/PSF and dichloromethane/Arocy B10/PSF. Values of the specific viscosity of PSF in a ‘binary solvent’ formed by Arocy B10 + solvent have been used to determine the compatibility of the polymer blend Arocy B10/PSF. An interaction parameter Δb that depends on concentration has been determined. The preferential solvation parameter was measured by size-exclusio…

Dielectric behaviour of a γ-irradiated polycarbonate

1980

Dielectric measurements on a γ-irradiated polycarbonate in a dose range 0–20 Mrad and at test frequencies of 103 and 104 Hz have been carried out. The glass transition temperature shows a maximum at 3.5 Mrad and then decreases at larger doses. This result is in line with other experiments (intrinsic viscosity, dynamic-mechanical measurements, etc) already reported: the Tg values are however larger in the present results. This is probably due to the plasticizing action of the absorbed moisture present in the previous tests. A Tg vs 1/[n]2 plot (1/[n]2 is proportional to 1/m ) allows to find the value of the glass transition point at an infinite molecular weight and the dependency of Tg on mo…

Sur une serie de palymethacrylates de methyl fractionnes des mesures de la diffusion lumineuse (en fonction de I'angle et de la longeur d'onde) on ete faites, puis la constante de diffusion, la constante de sedimentation dans I'ultrazentrifugeuse et la viscosite intrinshque [η] ont ete determines. Les poids moleculaires et les diametres des chaines souples sont en concordance d'apres ces methodes. La dependance des diametres des chaines sonples d,l du poids molkculaire est un peu plus forte que d'aprh la loi de Kuhn (dst ≃ M0.6). L'influence de cette decouverte sur la fonction de la diffusion lumineuse de mihe que sur l'equation de la viscosite de Kirkwood et Riseman est etudiee. Light-scat…

Moleküldimensionen von polymeren in verschiedenen lösungsmitteln auf grund hydrodynamischer messungen

1960

Ein fraktioniertes Polystyrol vom Molekulargewicht Mw ≈ 540000 wurde in Chloroform, Toluol, Methylathylketon und Cyclohexan sowie in drei Mischungen von Toluol und Methylathylketon untersucht. Da das Chloroform ein gutes, das Cyclohexan dagegen ein Θ-Losungsmittel fur Polystyrol darstellt, nehmen die Dimensionen des Fadenmolekuls beim Ubergang zwischen den Losungsmitteln ab. Mit den Knaueldimensionen andern sich Reibung und Viskositat des Polystyrols. Messungen der Sedimentationskonstanten, der Diffusionskonstanten, der Viskositatszahl sowie der Dichte und der Zahigkeit fur die gemischten Losungsmittel wurden ausgefuhrt. Die Ergebnisse der Messungen werden benutzt, um aus der Viskositatsthe…

Investigations with ca. 100 organic liquids in a temperature range from −20°C to 90°C result in a survey of the solubility behaviour of PVC. The experimental results were compared with the predictions of the solubility parameter theory: Accepting δ = 9,75 (cal/cm3)1/2 as the solubility parameter for PVC, all solvents (except ketones in which PVC is soluble independent of their solubility parameters) are located within the range of δPVC ± 0,75. Only three of the 100 liquids examined turned out to be (endothermal) theta-solvents, namely the aromatic solvents o-xylene, phenetole and dimethyl phthalate. The theta-temperatures in o-xylene and phenetole were determined viscometrically by means of…

Viscosities were measured as a function of pressure and temperature with solutions of PVC 75 000 in cyclohexanone (CHO) and polymer contents ranging from 0,6 to 12 wt.-%, by means of a Searle-type (≥3 wt.-%) and a rolling-ball viscometer (<3 wt.-%). Furthermore, the influence of molecular weight was determined with solutions of 8 wt.-% of PVC 20 000, PVC 37 000 and PVC 100 000. (The numbers in the codes of the PVC specimens are their approximate molecular weights.) For all concentrations and molecular weights, the viscosity increases in a more or less exponential manner with increasing pressure. The ratio f1000 of the viscosity of the solution at 1 000 and 1 bar can be varied by the change …
