Acid-base equilibria of sulfonephthalein dyes in aqueous polymer-surfactant media

The acid-base equilibria of three anionic sulfonephthalein dyes, viz., bromothymol blue (BTB), thymol blue (TB), and cresol red (CR), were studied spectroscopically in aqueous media containing the water-soluble noninonic polymers polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the presence of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). A partition equilibrium method was used to determine the equilibrium constant of partition of the dyes between the micellar pseudo phase and aqueous phase in the presence of PVA and PEG. The critical aggregation concentrations (CAC) of the surfactants in buffered aqueous systems containing the neutral polymers were also determined. The CAC of the polymer-surfactant systems were found to be lower than the critical micelle concentration of such systems in the absence of polymer, in otherwise identical conditions. The pH-dependent association constants, K _ass, of the sulfonephthalein dyes with the SDS-PVA system increased with the increase in molecular weight of the polymer. The interactions of the dyes with the buffered aqueous SDS-PVA and SDS-PEG systems were found to be endothermic and entropy oriented. In the polymer domain, the head group region of the micelles was more exposed at lower concentrations of the polymer, but under excess polymer concentration they were increasingly shielded, which impaired their electrostatic interaction with the dyes.     

活性炭表面热氧化对其吸附二苯并噻吩性能影响

本文主要研究活性炭表面氧化对其吸附二苯并噻吩性能的影响。将活性炭在不同低温下氧化制得表面氧化活性炭，用静态吸附法进行了二苯并噻吩在初始及氧化活性炭上的吸附等温线，应用Langmuir方程对吸附等温线进行拟合，用漫反射红外谱（DRIFTS）表征活性炭表面含氧基团，用Boehm滴定测定活性炭表面官能团含量，讨论了活性炭表面化学性质对其吸附二苯并噻吩的影响。结果表明：活性炭表面酸性含氧基团对二苯并噻吩的吸附有重要影响，酸性含氧基团越多，其吸附量越大。低温气相氧化活性炭提高了活性炭表面酸性含氧基团，提高了其对二苯并噻吩的吸附。氧化温度越高，其表面含氧基团含量越多，其对二苯并噻吩的吸附量也越大。Langmuir吸附等温线可适用于描述二苯并噻吩在活性炭表面上的吸附。

C_9 FK的表面活性测定

用吊片法和自制改进的最大泡压法分别测定了全氟庚氧基全氟亚乙基磺酸钾(C9FK)溶液的平衡和动态表面张力,计算得出该种表面活性剂形成胶束的标准热力学函数△Hmθ、△Smθ、△Gmθ分别为16．98 kJ／mol、218．29 J／mol·K、-48．22 kJ／mol。结合Word-Tordai方程,计算得到在不同条件下的表观扩散系数Da和吸附势垒Ea。实验证明,增大表面活性剂的浓度、降低温度、以及无机盐(NaCl)的加入都会使扩散系数减小,吸附势垒增大,从而不利于吸附的进行。当表面活性剂的浓度小于等于1×10-6 mol/L时,该体系属于扩散控制模型,而浓度大于 1×10-6 mol/L时,在吸附初期(t→O)属于扩散控制,后期均属于混合控制模型。     

Removal of Cd(II), Hg(II), and Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution using p(HEMA/chitosan) membranes

An interpenetration network (IPN) was synthesized from 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and chitosan, p(HEMA/chitosan) via UV‐initiated photo‐polymerization. The selectivity to different heavy metal ions viz Cd(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II) to the IPN membrane has been investigated from aqueous solution using bare pHEMA membrane as a control system. Removal efficiency of metal ions from aqueous solution using the IPN membranes increased with increasing chitosan content and initial metal ions concentrations, and the equilibrium time was reached within 60 min. Adsorption of all the tested heavy metal ions on the IPN membranes was found to be pH dependent and maximum adsorption was obtained at pH 5.0. The maximum adsorption capacities of the IPN membrane for Cd(II), Pb(II), and Hg(II) were 0.063, 0.179, and 0.197 mmol/g membrane, respectively. The adsorption of the Cd(II), Hg(II), and Pb(II) metal ions on the bare pHEMA membrane was not significant. When the heavy metal ions were in competition, the amounts of adsorbed metal ions were found to be 0.035 mmol/g for Cd(II), 0.074 mmol/g for Hg(II), and 0.153 mmol/g for Pb(II), the IPN membrane is significantly selective for Pb(II) ions. The stability constants of IPN membrane–metal ions complexes were calculated by the method of Ruzic. The results obtained from the kinetics and isotherm studies showed that the experimental data for the removal of heavy metal ions were well described with the second‐order kinetic equations and the Langmuir isotherm model. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Activity–Composition Relations of Chromium Oxide in Silicate Melts at 1500°C under Strongly Reducing Conditions

The solubility and activity–composition relations of chromium oxide in melts of the systems CaO–CrO _x –SiO₂ and CaO–Al₂O₃–CrO _x –SiO₂ have been determined at 1500°C by equilibrating melts with Pt–Cr alloys at known oxygen pressures. It is shown that the increase in the concentration of divalent chromium ions, as the oxygen pressure and the basicity of melt decrease, results in a dramatic increase in the solubility of chromium oxide in the liquid phase. An increase in the Al₂O₃ content of the melt leads to a decrease in the solubility of chromium oxide over the whole composition range studied. The activity coefficient of CrO has been found to increase with increasing melt basicity and decreasing oxygen pressure whereas the activity coefficient of CrO_1.5 decreases sharply with increasing melt basicity for siliceous melts but levels off at a basicity ratio (wt% CaO/wt% SiO₂) of about 0.7. An increase in the Al₂O₃ content of the melts results in an increase in the activity coefficient of CrO.     

Measurement of O2-N2 binary sorption on 5A zeolite by isotope tracer and perturbation chromatography

Isotope tracer chromatography allows to extract simply and quickly multi component adsorption data and is demonstrated for single component and binary adsorption equilibria for O₂ and N₂ on 5A zeolite as an example. In this modification of conventional tracer chromatography, a small pulse of an isotope tracer is injected in an adsorbable carrier gas (pure or multicomponent mixture) flowing through a column filled with adsorbent and is designed to operate at almost uniform pressure. Isotherm parameters are readily extracted by fitting measurements of residence times at various pressures and carrier composition. The isotherms were in excellent agreement with volumetric measurements. Isotope tracer chromatography is shown to be superior to perturbation chromatography since the influence of the injection volume on the carrier gas composition is substantially smaller for tracer experiments. Unfortunately, this new improved gas chromatographic technique requires rather expensive isotopes. The strength of this new approach lies in the advantage of working with small adsorbent samples (1 g) making a rapid screening of newly developed materials possible.Nomenclature K _exp,tr,i experimental tracer adsorption constant (mol/kg pure adsorbent/Pa) - K _i Henry adsorption equilibrium constant (mol/kg pure adsorbent/Pa) - K _i,part partition coefficient - K _pert composite Henry constant (mol/kg pure adsorbent/Pa) - L column length (m) - L _i Langmuir adsorption constant (1/Pa) - n _i amount adsorbed on the solid (mol/kg adsorbent) - N _i adsorbent loading (Pa) - p total pressure (Pa) - p _i partial pressure of component i (Pa) - p _in column inlet pressure (Pa) - p _out column outlet pressure (Pa) - q _i amount of component i in the micropores (Pa) - R gas constant (J/mol/K) - t time (s) - T temperature (K) - v _f superficial velocity in adsorbent column (m/s) - v _out velocity at the outlet of the column (m/s) - V _inlet volumetric flow rate at inlet conditions (ml/s) - x molar fraction of tracer - y molar fraction of component i in the carrier gas - z axial coordinate (m) Greek letters _ext bed voidage, external porosity - _macr macropore porosity [_macr= _p (1–_ext)] - _micr micropore porosity - _tot total porosity - _p pellet porosity - volume fraction of binder material - _d dead time (s) - _tracer tracer residence time (s) - _pert perturbation residence time (s) - _crys crystal density (kg/m³)     

边坡锚固工程分析中的水平条分法

对目前中国规范推荐用于边坡加固计算的垂直条分传递系数法进行研究,发现将该方法用于边坡锚固受力分析时,不仅存在垂直条块与加固结构体（锚杆和锚索）相互交叉,而且计算得出的锚固力与加固体的实际锚固力存在偏差等缺陷。在相关资料提出的、用于加筋土稳定性分析的水平条分法基础上,结合边坡锚固工程的特点,将该水平条分法做进一步拓展,使其能适用于锚杆和锚索等边坡锚固工程的稳定性计算,并通过工程实例对拓展后的水平条分法进行了验证。
