Calorimetric investigation of the formation of ZnS nanoparticles in w/o microemulsions
1998
The enthalpies of precipitation of ZnS nanoparticles within water containing reversed micelles of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) solfosuccinate, L-α phosphatidylcholine, tetraethyleneglycol-mono-n-dodecyl ether and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide as a function of the molar concentration ratioR (R=[water]/[surfactant]) were measured by calorimetric technique. The results indicate that the energetic state of ZnS nanoparticles confined in the aqueous core of the reversed micelles is different from that in bulk water. Effects due to nanoparticle size, adsorption of HS− ions on the nanoparticle surface and interactions between nanoparticles and water/surfactant interfaces are discussed.
Solubility of NH3 and apparent pK of NH4+ in human plasma, isotonic salt solutions and water at 37 degrees C.
1998
The solubility of ammonia, alphaNH3 (mM/mmHg), was determined at 37 degrees C and low ammonia partial pressure (0.02-1 mmHg) in pure water (n =24) as 46.70+/-0.40; aqueous isotonic salt solutions (n = 7) as 46.8+/-0.81; and human plasma (n = 5) as 42.0+/-0.66. The last figure increases to 45.3+/-0.63 if expressed in molal units (mmol/kg plasma water x mmHg) instead of molarity with respect to the water content of the plasma (mean from four healthy and fasting donors: 0.908+0.005 kg H2O/kg plasma; mean density at 37 degrees C: 1.020+/-0.002 kg/l). In pure water, the solubility value is the mean of three different methods: (a) extrapolation of the salting-out effect of ammonia in aqueous NaOH…
Precipitation of slightly soluble silver salts in reversed AOT micelles: Calorimetric investigation
1991
The enthalpies of precipitation, of AgCl, Agl, Ag2S and silver tetraphenylborate (AgTPB) in water containing reversed sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) micelles as a function of the molar concentration ratio R (R=[water]/[AOT]) at various concentrations of AOT and reagent salts, were measured by a calorimetric technique. The molar enthalpies of precipitation are independent of the surfactant concentration but are dependent on the concentration of the reagent salts and the R value. The molar enthalpies for the same processes in bulk water are not approached even at the highest R value. Effects due to the smallness of the microcrystals and to the interactions between ions and mice…
Rapid hyperpolarization and purification of the metabolite fumarate in aqueous solution
2020
Significance Magnetic resonance imaging is hindered by inherently low sensitivity, which limits the method for the most part to observing water molecules in the body. Hyperpolarized molecules exhibit strongly enhanced MRI signals which opens the door for imaging low-concentration species in vivo. Biomolecules can be hyperpolarized and injected into a patient allowing for metabolism to be tracked in real time, greatly expanding the information available to the radiologist. Parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) is a hyperpolarization method renowned for its low cost and accessibility, but is generally limited by low polarization levels, modest molecular concentrations, and contamination by…
Molecular characterization of α,β-poly[( N -hydroxyethyl)- dl –aspartamide] by light scattering and viscometry studies
2000
Abstract α,β-poly[(N-hydroxyethyl)- dl -aspartamide] (PHEA) is a new synthetic polymer which is of interest in biomedical applications. In this paper, the molecular characterization of PHEA by multi-angle laser light scattering and viscometry off-line and on-line to a size exclusion chromatography system is reported. These techniques furnish an exhaustive and consistent characterization of the PHEA polymer. The fractionation of the PHEA macromolecules was relatively simple. Using an aqueous mobile phase of medium ionic strength, the elution was substantially regular and the macromolecules were not aggregate. The molar mass M of four PHEA samples approximately ranges from 46 to 53 K g/mol, t…
Intrinsic Viscosity of Aqueous Solutions of Carboxymethyl Guar in the Presence and in the Absence of Salt
2008
Intrinsic viscosities were determined for solutions of CMG in pure water and 0.9 wt.-% aqueous NaCl. To avoid the 0/0-type extrapolation typical for Huggins plots, a new procedure was used. For CMG and pure water, this requires only two adjustable parameters: the specific hydrodynamic volume of the polymer in the limit of infinite dilution and a hydrodynamic interaction parameter. The intrinsic viscosity of CMG (no salt) at room temperature is 6 050 mL · g -1 ; approximately half as large as that of Na-PSS of comparable molar mass. The ratio of the intrinsic viscosities with and without salt is ≈7 for CMG, as compared to >100 for Na-PSS. The reasons for the different behaviors of the two ty…
Apparent Molar Volumes of Calcium Nitrate in 1-Propanol + Water at 298.15 K
1999
The densities of 1-propanol + water + calcium nitrate mixtures have been measured with an oscillating-tube densimeter over a large range of concentrations of the salt and 1-propanol, at 298.15 K. From these densities, apparent molar volumes of calcium nitrate in 1-propanol + water mixtures have been calculated, and partial molar volumes at infinite dilution have been evaluated.
Volumetric and Acoustic Properties of Aqueous Solutions of Trifluoromethanesulfonate-Based Ionic Liquids at Several Temperatures
2012
In this work, densities and sound velocities of three ionic liquids, 3-butyl-1-ethylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, 3-butyl-1-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate, and their binary mixtures with water have been obtained at p = (101 ± 2) kPa and T = (278.15 to 338.15) K, covering the whole range of concentration. The isentropic compressibility and molar isentropic compression of pure components and mixtures have been calculated using the Newton–Laplace equation. Moreover, the excess molar volume and excess molar isentropic compression of mixtures have been then determined, and they have been fitted to temperature and …
Apparent molar volumes of 1-pentanol in water fromT=298 K toT=413 K atp=0.1 MPa andp=19 MPa
1996
Abstract Densities of 1-pentanol aqueous solutions were measured by using a vibrating tube densimeter especially designed and equipped to perform accurate measurements from ambient conditions up toT=423 K andp=80 MPa. The densimeter was tested by measuring densities of NaCl (aq). A comparison with the most reliable literature data showed very good agreement with differences lower than (0.03 and 0.1) kg·m−3for molalities below and above 0.5 mol·kg−1, respectively. From the density measurements, the apparent molar volumes of 1-pentanol in water,Vφwere determined as a function of molalitymat temperatures fromT=298 K toT=413 K atp=0.1 MPa andp=19 MPa. At a given temperature and pressure, and pa…
Effect of ion exchange capacity and water uptake on hydroxide transport in PSU-TMA membranes: A DFT and molecular dynamics study
2020
Abstract Anion Exchange Membranes (AEMs) are nowadays used in a very wide range of different applications, from electrodialytic systems for water treatment, to Fuel Cells for energy generation. In many of these cases, the AEM is in contact with water molecules, either in aqueous or gas phase, which can strongly interact with the AEM polymer, thus affecting membrane properties. The role of water in fully swollen AEM and its effect on the diffusion of hydroxide is the focus of this work. Density Functional Theory (DFT) based calculations were merged with Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations coming to a more accurate description of the ionic exchange capacity effect on the hydroxide ion diffusi…
