The salting-out/salting-in mechanism of CO2 in electrolyte solutions still remains elusive at molecule level. The ability of ion salting-out/salting-in CO2 in electrolyte solution follows Hofmeister Series and the change of water mobility induced by salts can be predicted by the viscosity B-coefficients. In this work, the chemical potential of carbon dioxide and the dynamic properties of water in aqueous NaCl, KF and NaClO4 solutions are calculated and analyzed. According to the viscosity B-coefficients, NaClO4 (0.012) should salt out the carbon dioxide relative to in pure water, but the opposite effect is observed for it. Our simulation results suggest that the salting-in effect of NaClO4 is due to the strongly direct anion-CO2 interaction. The inconsistency between" Hofmeister Series and the viscosity B-coefficient suggests that it is not always right to indicate whether a salt belongs to salting-in or salting-out just from these properties of the salt solution in the absence of solute.展开更多

On the basis of analyses of the chargedensity and exchangeable ion composition on the surfaces of soil particles in the suspensions, andof the characters of the EC-field strength curves of the various suspensions, it was inferred thatthe increment of EC (ΔEC) and/or relative electrical conductivity (REC) can indicate the bondingstrength between cations and soil particles. The bonding strengths of various cations with the soilsdiminished in the order: K^+ > Zn^(2+) > Mg^(2+) = Ca^(2+) > Na^+ for latosol, Ca^(2+) > Zn^(2+) >Mg^(2+) = K^+ > Na^+ for yellow-brown soil, and Zn^(2+) ≥ Ca^(2+) ≥ Mg^(2+) > K^+ > Na^+ for blacksoil.展开更多

The equipment can be used to determine the gas composition, the densities and viscosities of the solution at the same time. The densities and viscosities of [bmim][PF6] + CO2 binary system were determined in the temperature range of 313.2 to 413.2 K and pressure range of 5.0 to 25.0 MPa by the equipment. Then the viscosities of [bmim][PF6] + CO2 binary system at constant temperature, constant pressure, and different temperature and pressure were correlated, respectively. For the correlation at different tempera- ture and different t3ressure for different concentration mixtures the average relative deviation ARD is 0.037.展开更多

The nanofluids were composed of ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3- methylimidazolium diethylphosphate [EMIM][DEP], or its aqueous solution[EMIM][DEP](1) + H20(2) and MWCNTs without any surfactants. The thermal conductivity, viscosity and density of the nanofluids were mea- sured experimentally. The effects of the mass fraction of MWCNTs, temperature and the mole fraction of water on the thermo physical properties of nanofluids were studied. Results show that the thermal conductivity of nanofluids increases within the range of 1.3%-9.7% compared to their base liquids, and have a well linear depen- dence on temperature. The viscosity and density of the nanofluids exhibit a remarkable increase compared with those of the base liquids. Finally, the correlation of the effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of the nanofluids was made using the models in the literatures.展开更多

The linearity of the plots indicated Langmuir type isotherms. The reaction was exothermic. A maximum removal of 35% was obtained at 0.50 mmol L -1 metal concentration and a pH of 7.0 at 303 K. The H + rel /Mg 2+ ads ratio changed from a fractional value to 2.5. Strong chemical bondings took place between oxygen atom of the surface and Mg 2+ , resulting in a surface complex species. Temperature had a significant effect on H + rel , and the stability constants also increased with increasing temperature.展开更多

Two synthesis methods were developed successfully. The first method is consisted to synthesizing first amphiphilic cationic methacrylamide monomers. In the second method the tertiary amine groups of polymers precursors were quaternised with various n-alkyl bromides. All the polymers obtained in this way were characterized by spectroscopic methods: 1^H NMR and by viscometry. The reduced viscosity of hydro-alcoholic polymer solution decreases with polymer concentration. Viscometry study showed that these polymers display typical polysoap behavior in hydro-alcoholic mixtures.展开更多

One of the most important advantages of ILs is that their chemical–physical properties and consequently their bulk performances can be well tuned by optimizing the chemical structures of their ions. This will require elucidating the structural features of the ions that fundamentally determine the characteristics of the nanostructures and the viscosities of ILs. Here we showed for the first time that the "rigidity", the order,and the compactness of the three-dimensional ionic networks generated by the anions and the cation head groups determine the formation and the sizes of the nanostructures in the apolar domains of ILs. We also found that the properties of ionic networks are governed by the conformational flexibility and the symmetry of the anion and/or the cation head group. The thermal stability of the nanostructures of ILs was shown to be controlled by the sensitivity of the conformational equilibrium of the anion to the change of temperature. We showed that the viscosity of ILs is strongly related to the symmetry and the flexibility of the constitute ions rather than to the size of the nanostructures of ILs. Therefore, the characteristics of the nanostructures and the viscosities of ILs, especially the thermal stability of the nanostructures, can be fine-tuned by tailoring the symmetry and the conformational flexibility of the anion.展开更多

In this work, 5% sodium bentonite amended with locally available Fukakusa clay was utilized to evaluate the membrane behavior toward different kinds of ions: K, Na and Ca. The chemico-osmotic efficiency coefficient, co, was obtained in electrolyte solution with different concentrations of 0.5, 1, 5, 10, and 50 mmol/L. According to the results, solute type and ion valence have a significant effect on membrane behaviors. Additionally, co continually decreased as the Na and Ca concentrations increased, which is consistent with the Gouy-Chapman theory. The membrane behavior toward Na was similar to that toward K, according to the chemico-osmotic efficiency coefficient co. In the case of the divalent ion Ca, the membrane behavior was lower compared to monovalent ions Na and K at the same concentration. The mechanisms of the membrane performance change were discussed with the assistance of XRD patterns, free-swelling results and SEM images.展开更多
