Human serum lipoproteins and egg yolk lecithin liposomes are able to solubilize large amounts of n-hexane and n-octane. At the maximum water solubility of n-octane the mole ratio of alkane to lipoprotein was 65 for high density lipoprotein (holo-HDL) and 900 for low density lipoprotein (holo-LDL). Alkane binding to lipid-free apo-HDL is negligible compared to alkane solubility in holo-HDL. Alkane solubility in the lipoproteins and liposomes is thermodynamically consistent with the simple soution of hydrocarbon in the hydrophobic regions of these particles. The unitary free energies of alkane transfer are similar to values previously observed for detergent micelles but are less favorable by 0.8 kcal/mol from the free energy of transfer to liquid hydrocarbon. It is concluded that the thermodynamics of alkane transfer to the lipoproteins resembles that found for detergent micelles or liposomes rather than that anticipated for an "oil drop" (i.e. liquid hydrocarbon).

Solubilities are reported for benzil in carbon tetrachloride-alkane (isooctane, n-octane, cyclooctane) systems at 25 degrees and in similar binary mixtures containing cyclohexane plus alkane. The results of these measurements are compared to solution models previously developed for solubility in systems containing specific solute-solvent interactions and to models for purely nonspecific interactions. A stoichiometric complexation model based primarily on specific solute-solvent interactions requires several equilibrium constants to mathematically describe the experimental solubilities in binary carbon tetrachloride mixtures. However, there was no direct experimental evidence to suggest complexation between benzil and carbon tetrachloride. In comparison, expressions derived from the Nearly Ideal Binary Solvent (NIBS) model for nonspecific interactions predict experimental solubilities with a maximum deviation of 5% and an overall deviation of 1.0%. The success of the NIBS approach for this system is significant because the mole fraction solubility of benzil changes by a factor of 14 in the carbon tetrachloride-isooctane system.

The adsorption isotherms of the binary n-alkane mixtures n-hexane/n-octane, n-octane/n-tetradecane, and n-hexane/n-tetradecane on the activated carbon TA 95 are measured at 298 K and described with mathematical functions. About 40 experimental values of the adsorption excess of the ternary mixture n-hexane/n-octane/n-tetradecane on activated carbon TA 95 at 298 K are gas chromatographically measured inside the ternary triangle. The ternary data are represented in the three-dimensional space with the help of transformation of coordinates and by utilization of the conception of the quasi-two-component representation of the mole fractions. A consistency test for the specific wetting Gibbs energies calculated from the binary data is carried out. The possibilities for a mathematical prediction of ternary data from adsorption data for the constituent binary mixtures are proved. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

New data on the aqueous solubility of n-octane, 1-chlorooctane and 1-bromooctane are reported between 1 degree C and 45 degrees C. Henry's law constants, K(H), and air/water partition coefficients, K(AW), were calculated by associating the measured solubility values to vapor pressures taken from literature. The mole fraction aqueous solubility varies between (1.13-1.60)x10(-7) for n-octane with a minimum at approximately 23 degrees C, (3.99-5.07)x10(-7) for 1-chlorooctane increasing monotonically with temperature and (1.60-3.44)x10(-7) for 1-bromooctane with a minimum near 18 degrees C. The calculated air-water partition coefficients increase with temperature and are two orders of magnitude lower for the halogenated derivatives compared to octane. The precision of the results, taken as the average absolute deviations of the aqueous solubility, the Henry's law constants, or the air/water partition coefficients, from appropriate smoothing equations as a function of temperature is of 3% for n-octane and of 2% and 4% for 1-chlorooctane and 1-bromooctane, respectively. A new apparatus based on the dynamic saturation column method was used for the solubility measurements. Test measurements with n-octane indicated the capability of measuring solubilities between 10(-6) and 10(-10) in mole fraction, with an estimated accuracy better than +/-10%. A thorough thermodynamic analysis of converting measured data to air/water partition coefficients is presented.

The temperature-versus-composition phase diagrams of eight different 1-alkylpyridinium octane-1-sulfonates (APOSs) in water were studied by 1H NMR, 2H NMR, pulsed gradient spin-echo NMR, small-angle X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, surface tension and conductivity measurements, and polarizing microscopy. The number of carbons (n(c)) in the hydrocarbon chain of the pyridinium counterions was varied from n(c) = 1 to n(c) = 8 to study how the phase behavior of the APOS/2H2O systems was affected by a change in the chain length of the counterion. The sodium octane-1-sulfonate (NaOS)/water system was used as a reference. This system formed an isotropic micellar solution (L1) phase and a normal hexagonal (H(I)) phase. All APOSs were readily soluble in water and formed L1 phases. The surface tension above the critical micelle concentration for n(c) between 1 and 3 was higher than that for NaOS, and it decreased steadily for the different APOSs with increasing chain length. The area per molecule at the air/solution interfaces was rather constant at 68 A2 for n(c) between 1 and 7. For 1-octylpyridinium octane-1-sulfonate (OPOS), it was about 5 A2 smaller, which was just outside the estimated error. However, the smallest area was obtained for NaOS. At higher surfactant concentrations, liquid crystalline phases formed. Both cubic and H(I) phases were found for n(c) = 1 and 2, while for n(c) between 3 and 5 only an H(I) phase was observed. H(I) and lamellar liquid crystalline (Lalpha) phases formed for n(c) = 6 and 7. The only liquid crystalline phase found in the OPOS system was a Lalpha phase. The NaOS H(I) phase was the only liquid crystalline phase that showed a linear relation between the 2H2O NMR quadrupolar splitting (deltaW) and Xsurf/X(W), where Xsurf and X(W) are the mole fractions of surfactant and water. The OPOS lamellae were found to be much thinner than expected, indicating a defect lamellar structure. This was further supported by the behavior of the quadrupolar splitting ofdeuterated OPOS. The anomalous behaviors of the 2H2O NMR quadrupolar splitting observed in the Lalpha phases of 1-heptylpyridinium octane-1-sulfonate and OPOS were interpreted in terms of changes in the population of the water molecules residing in different sites combined with a continuous rearrangement of the lamellae surface with the possible development of holes. The appearances of the phase diagrams were discussed in terms of surfactant molecular geometry and the packing of the amphiphiles in the aggregates formed.

The compound di-3-n-propyltrimethoxysilane (1,4-diazoniabicycle[2.2.2]octane) dichloride, [(MeO)3Si(CH2)3N+ (CH2CH2)3N+ (CH2)3Si(OME)3]Cl2 was obtained and was used as a precursor reagent to obtain hybrid xerogels where the organic molecule was bonded to a silica framework by reacting the ends of both sides of the precursor reagent. That is, both -Si(OME)3 groups react with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) by hydrolysis-condensation reactions. The resulting hybrid xerogels with variable C/Si mole ratios were prepared and analyzed and their textural characteristics determined. The samples prepared presented micropores with diameter 1.5 nm, the chain length of which matched with the estimated length of the organic bridging group. The charged organic bridging groups allow the immobilization of hexacyanoferrate ions by an ion exchange process. The electron transfer process of the hexacyanoferrate anionic complex confined in the pores of the matrices was studied by cyclovoltammetry.

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used to catalyze the oxidation of bisphenol A (BPA) in a reverse micelle system consisting of water, sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) as the surfactant, and n-octane as the organic solvent phase. In order to achieve maximal BPA transformation, a water-to-surfactant molar ratio greater than 15 was required, above which no further increase in conversion was observed. BPA transformation was catalyzed in the reverse micelle system over a pH range of 6-9 with an optimum at pH 7 and was enhanced with increasing temperatures up to 40 degrees C. The stoichiometric ratio of moles of bisphenol A transformed per mole of peroxide consumed was 0.46 when the initial BPA concentration was 0.01 mM, which is significantly less than the theoretical value of 2 based on the known catalytic cycle of the enzyme. However, the stoichiometric ratio increased and approach the theoretical value with higher BPA concentrations. Over the course of the catalytic reaction, the enzyme became inactivated. Hydrogen peroxide strongly inhibited the enzyme and, thus, when the oxidant was present in quantities in excess of the stoichiometric amount, BPA transformation was significantly reduced.

Liquid-liquid equilibria (LLE) data of the ternary system thiophene + octane + dimethyl sulfoxide at 40 degrees C, 50 degrees C, and 60 degrees C under atmospheric pressure were determined using an equilibrium cell with the standard curve method. The distribution of thiophene between extract and raffinate was measured and a practical formula of equilibria data for industrial extraction was proposed. NRTL model and UNIQUAC model were used to correlate and calculate LLE data of the system, and model parameters were determined using the simplex optimization method and imitative Newton method with a minimized objective function of mole fraction deviation. The rule of thermodynamic equilibria was used to deal with multi-roots problem in correlating process. Agreement between predicted and experimental data was satisfactory. The average absolute deviations of the NRTL and UNIQUAC models of thiophene mass fraction were 0.0040 and 0.0078, respectively. Both NRTL and UNIQUAC models were suitable for the calculation of LLE data of the ternary system thiophene + octane + dimethyl sulfoxide. The correlation accuracy of NRTL model is inferior to that of UNIQUAC model.

(Solid + liquid) phase equilibria (SLE) for the binary systems, ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate [BMIM][SCN] with an alcohol (1-octanol, 1-nonanol, 1-decanol, 1-undecanol, or 1-dodecanol) or water, and (liquid + liquid) phase equilibria (LLE) for the binary systems of [BMIM][SCN] with an alkane (n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane, or n-decane), benzene, an alkylbenzenes (toluene or ethylbenzene), tetrahydrofuran (THF), cycloalkanes (cyclohexane or cycloheptane), or ethers (di-n-propyl ether, di-n-butyl ether, di-n-pentyl ether, n-butylmethyl ether, tert-butylmethyl ether (MTBE), or tert-butylethyl ether (ETBE)) have been determined at ambient pressure. A dynamic method was used over a broad range of mole fractions and temperatures from 250 to 430 K. In the case of systems IL + alkane, cycloalkane, or ether, the mutual immiscibility with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) was detected, and in the systems of IL + benzene, alkylbenzene, or THF, the mutual immiscibility with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) was observed. UV-vis spectroscopy was used to determine the very small compositions of the IL in the n-hexane (about 2 x 10(-5) IL mole fraction), benzene (about 2 x 10(-3) IL mole fraction), cyclohexane (about 2 x 10(-5) IL mole fraction), and THF (about 1.2 x 10(-2) IL mole fraction). For the binary systems containing alcohol, it was noticed that with increasing chain length of an alcohol, the solubility decreases. The basic thermal properties of the pure IL, that is, the glass-transition temperature as well as the heat capacity at the glass-transition temperature, have been measured using a differential scanning microcalorimetry technique (DSC). Decomposition of the IL was detected by the simultaneous TG/DTA experiments. Well-known UNIQUAC, Wilson, and NRTL equations have been used to correlate the experimental SLE data sets for alcohols and water. For the systems containing immiscibility gaps {IL + alkane, benzene, alkylbenzene, cycloalkane, tetrahydrofuran, or ether}, the parameters of the LLE correlation have been derived using the NRTL equation.

Ionic liquids (ILs) reveal many unique properties which make them very interesting for applications in modern "green" technologies. For that reason, detailed knowledge about correlations between the ions' structure, their combinations, and the bulk properties is of great importance. That knowledge can be accessed by reliable measurements and modeling of systems with ILs in terms of various theoretical approaches. In this paper we report new experimental results on liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) measurements of 10 binary systems composed of piperidinium ILs [namely, 1-propyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide and 1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide] and aliphatic hydrocarbons (n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, cyclohexane, and cycloheptane). Moreover, new results on liquid density of pure 1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide are presented. Upper critical solution temperature type of phase behavior for all studied systems was observed. Decrease of solubility of n-alkane with an increase of its alkyl chain length and increase of solubility when changing linear into cyclic structure of hydrocarbon were detected. LLE modeling of investigated systems was performed in terms of two modern theories, namely, perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) and nonrandom hydrogen-bonding theory (NRHB). Pure fluid parameters of the models were obtained from fitting of experimental liquid density and solubility parameter data at ambient pressure and tested against high pressure densities. Then literature values of activity coefficients of n-alkanes and cycloalkanes at infinitely diluted mixtures with ILs were used to optimize binary interaction parameters of the models. Finally, the LLE phase diagrams were calculated with average absolute relative deviations of 4.1% and 3.4% of the IL mole fraction for PC-SAFT and NRHB, respectively. The PC-SAFT and NRHB models were both able to capture phase behavior in a qualitative manner. Both models predict the order in which solubility of hydrocarbon in the IL increases, including the effects of chain length of n-alkane as well as chain length of alkyl substituent in piperidinium cation. Moreover, predicted solubility of cycloalkanes is also higher than that of respective n-alkanes. Our results suggest that the presented approach of PC-SAFT and NRHB modeling can be successfully applied to cross-associating systems as well. In summary, we have shown that relatively good results can be obtained for such complex systems by using quite simple molecular models and combining rules. To the best of our knowledge, this is the very first paper in which such equation-of-state modeling has been adopted for systems with ILs.
