Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for 1-Propanol + Water + 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Trifluoromethanesulfonate at 100 kPa
2008
Isobaric vapor−liquid equilibria for the binary systems 1-propanol + water, 1-propanol + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][triflate]), and water + [emim][triflate] as well as the vapor−liquid equilibria for the 1-propanol + water + [emim][triflate] ternary system have been obtained at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. Electrolyte NRTL fitting parameters for the 1-propanol + water and water + [emim][triflate] systems were calculated. The measured ternary data were correlated using Mock’s electrolyte NRTL model which reproduces reasonably well the experimental values. The results show that the addition of [emim][triflate] to 1-propanol + water produced an import…
Ionic Liquids as Entrainers in Extractive Distillation: Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for Acetone + Methanol + 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Triflu…
2006
Isobaric vapor−liquid equilibria for the binary systems acetone + methanol, acetone + 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][triflate]), and methanol + [emim][triflate] as well as the vapor−liquid equilibrium for the acetone + methanol + [emim][triflate] ternary system have been obtained at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. The addition of the ionic liquid to the solvent mixture produced an important salting-out effect, and the azeotrope tended to disappear for small contents of ionic liquid. The experimental binary data sets were independently fitted with the electrolyte NRTL model, and the parameters of Mock's model were estimated for each binary system. These pa…
Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for 1-propanol + water + lithium chloride at 100 kPa
2004
Abstract Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for the ternary system 1-propanol+water+lithium chloride has been measured at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. The addition of lithium chloride to the solvent mixture produced an important salting-out effect over the alcohol and the azeotrope tended to be eliminated when the salt content increased, and two immiscible liquid phases were observed in a broad range of salt concentration. The experimental data sets were fitted with the electrolyte NRTL model and the parameters of Mock et al.’s model were estimated. This model has proved to be suitable to represent experimental data in the entire range of compositions. The effect of lithium chloride o…
Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for acetone + methanol + lithium nitrate at 100 kPa
2006
Abstract Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for the ternary system acetone + methanol + lithium nitrate have been measured at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. The addition of lithium nitrate to the solvent mixture produced an important salting-out effect and the azeotrope tended to disappear for small contents of salt. The experimental data sets were fitted with the electrolyte NRTL model and the parameters of the Mock's model were estimated. These parameters were used to predict the ternary vapor–liquid equilibrium which agreed well with the experimental one.
The titanium–iron–antimony ternary system and the crystal and electronic structure of the interstitial compound Ti5FeSb2
2003
Abstract Phase equilibria were established in the Ti–Fe–Sb ternary system below the TiSb2–FeSb section at 1070 K; the Sb–TiSb2–FeSb region was studied at 870 K. Investigation of the phase relations was based on X-ray diffraction experiments on arc-melted bulk alloys, which were annealed up to 350 h. Four ternary compounds were observed: TiFe1−xSb (0.64≤x≤0.70; defect TiNiSi-type), Ti1.18Fe0.57Sb (partially and statistically filled Ni2In-type), Ti1+xFeSb (−0.20≤x≤0.27; transformation from defect AlLiSi-type to the defect MnCu2Al-type), and new Ti5FexSb3−x (0.45≤x≤1.00; W5Si3-type). An extended solid solution up to about 10 at.% antimony was observed for the Laves phase Ti(Fe1−xSbx)2−y. Ti3Sb…
Preparation and properties of poly(L-lactic acid) scaffolds by thermally induced phase separation from a ternary polymer-solvent system
2004
Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) foams for tissue engineering were prepared via thermally induced phase separation of a ternary system PLLA/dioxane/tetrahydrofuran (THF) followed by double solvent exchange (water and ethyl alcohol) and drying. An extension to solidification from solution of a previously developed method for solidification from the melt was adopted. The technique is based on a continuous cooling transformation (CCT) approach, consisting in recording the thermal history experienced by rapidly cooled samples and then analyzing the resulting sample morphology. Different foams were produced by changing the relative amount of dioxane and THF in the starting solution while the amount of…
Phase separation of symmetric polymer mixtures in a common good solvent in the semidilute concentration regime
1994
Monte Carlo simulations of lattice models of binary (AB) symmetric polymer mixtures (chain lengthsN A=N B=N) in a common good solvent are carried out and the phase diagrams and critical properties of the unmixing transitions are estimated and interpreted in terms of recent theories. Polymers are modeled by self-avoiding walks of lengthN=16, 32 and 64 on the simple cubic lattice. Data for vacancy concentrations of φV=0.6, 0.8 and 0.85 are analyzed. It is shown that forN=16, φV=0.85 no phase separation occurs, down to the lowest temperature, while forN=32, φV=0.85 still phase separation occurs but no longer is complete. Our results are compatible with a scaling theory based on a “renormalizat…
A thermodynamic approach to study hydrogen-bonding interactions in solvent/solvent/polymer ternary systems
2007
Abstract A thermodynamic approach based on both the classical Flory–Huggins (FH) formalism and the association equilibria (AE) theory has been developed to study the solubility properties of a system formed by a proton-donor solvent (A), a proton-acceptor solvent (B) and a proton-acceptor polymer (C). The miscibility of this ternary system is attained by competitive specific interactions via hydrogen-bonding established between the hydroxyl and carbonyl interacting groups of either solvent–solvent (AB) or solvent–polymer (AC) system components. The binary AB and AC specific interactions and their dependence with the system composition as well as with the extent of the association equilibriu…
Predictability of properties of ternary systems solvent/solvent/polymer from interaction parameters of the binary systems—III. Analysis of binary pot…
1990
Abstract The assumption that the ternary parameter, g τ , and its derivative with respect to polymer concentration, ( ∂g τ / ∂φ 3 ) μ 1 , φ 3 → 0 , can be described by three binary interaction parameters, g o i 3 ( i = 1, 2) and g 12 , implies that these must be independent functions. This feature has been demonstrated by using g o i 3 values obtained from A/B/polymer(P) and C/D/P ternary polymer systems to predict the ternary properties, namely preferential solvation (λ), second virial coefficient ( A 2 ) and intrinsic viscosity ([η]), of a A/C/P ternary system. Two distinct polymers, polystyrene(PS) and poly(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS), have been utilized in three solvent mixtures, benzene(BZ…
Islands of Immiscibility for Solutions of Compatible Polymers in a Common Solvent: Experiment and Theory
2009
Experimentally obtained islands of immiscibility are reported for the systems PS/PVME/THF at 20 °C and for PS/PVME/CH at 55 °C (PS: polystyrene, PVME: poly(vinyl methyl ether), THF: tetrahydrofuran, CH: cyclohexane). THF is a good solvent and CH is a marginal solvent for both polymers. In the case of THF, information on the Flory−Huggins interaction parameters of the three binary subsystems suffices for a qualitative prediction of the phase behavior of the ternary system. Quantitative agreement can be achieved by means of composition-independent ternary interaction parameters. For the marginal solvent CH, the exclusive use of binary interaction parameters wrongly predicts complete miscibili…
