The thermal conductivity of gaseous and liquid ammonia has been measured in the range 300–300 K and at pressures up to 50 MPa. The measurements were a necessary preliminary to a fitting of the thermal conductivity surface in the density–temperature plane, which is part of the current program of the Transport Properties Subcommittee of the I.U.P.A.C. Results were obtained that are believed to be accurate to 2 percent. It is difficult to make a good comparison of these results with previous data until a full correlation of the thermal conductivity of ammonia is carried out. A preliminary assessment for the liquid phase indicates that agreement is reasonable over much of the range with differences up to around 5 percent under certain conditions. For the gas phase an approximate extrapolation to atmospheric pressure can be made and the results compared with some recent recommended values. Differences of ±3 percent are observed.

The thermal conductivity λ of the silanes and siloxanes families in the liquid phase at atmospheric pressure or along the saturation line is investigated as function of the reduced temperature. Because of the large scarcity or even of the lack of accurate experimental λ data an empirical equation is proposed as a generalization based on investigations presented in previous works [1, 2]. The families of silanes and siloxanes (21 chlorosilanes, 5 cyclosiloxanes, 10 linear siloxanes, 10 silanes and 19 other silanes) are taken into consideration using a large database [3] in order to extend the use of a general formula valid for organic compounds (alcohols, alkanes, ketones,….) and to improve preceeding results obtained in the case of the cited silanes and siloxanes, for which experimental thermal conductivity data at atmospheric pressure or along the saturation line in the liquid phase are available in very few cases. The equation is proposed as acceptable for engineering purposes and comparable with the existing prediction methods [3]. The database DIPPR [3] in the version 2020 containing a linear correlation with various parameters is taken into account, also considering the results of 7 other prediction methods existing in the technical and scientific literature. An extensive and critical comparison points out that the method proposed in this work can be considered valid with absolute errors usually not greater than 5%.

Molecular fluorescence is a phenomenon that is usually observed in condensed phase. It is strongly affected by molecular interactions. The study of fluorescence spectra in the gas phase can provide a nearly-ideal model for the evaluation of intrinsic properties of the fluorophores. Unfortunately, most conventional fluorophores are not volatile enough to allow study of their fluorescence in the gas phase. Here we report very bright gas phase fluorescence of simple BODIPY dyes that can be readily observed at atmospheric pressure using conventional fluorescence instrumentation. To our knowledge, this is the first example of visible range gas phase fluorescence at near ambient conditions. Evaporation of the dye in vacuum allowed us to demonstrate organic molecular electroluminescence in gas discharge excited by electric field produced by a Tesla coil.

Whenever possible, neutralization of alkaline wastewater should involve low-cost acid. It is conventional to make use of carbonic acid produced via the reaction of carbon dioxide (contained in flue gases) with water according to the following equation: Carbon dioxide content in the flue gas stream varies from 10% to 15%. The flue gas stream may either be passed to the wastewater contained in the recarbonizers, or. enter the scrubbers (which are continually sprayed with wastewater) from the bottom in oountercurrent. The reactors, in which recarbonation occurs, have the ability to expand the contact surface between gaseous and liquid phase. This can be achieved by gas phase dispersion in the liquid phase (bubbling), by liquid phase dispersion in the gas phase (spraying), or by bubbling and spraying, and mixing. These concurrent operations are carried out during motion of the disk aerator (which is a patent claim). The authors describe the functioning of the disk aerator, the composition of the wastewater produced during wet gasification of carbide, the chemistry of recarbonation and decarbonation, and the concept of applying the disk aerator so as to make the wastewater fit for reuse (after suitable neutralization) as feeding water in acetylene generators.

A mathematical model for nitrification in an aerated fixed bed reactor has been developed. This model is based on material balances in the bulk liquid, gas phase and in the biofilm area. The fixed bed is divided into a number of cells according to the reduced remixing behaviour. A fixed bed cell consists of 4 compartments: the support, the gas phase, the bulk liquid phase and the stagnant volume containing the biofilm. In the stagnant volume the biological transmutation of the ammonia is located. The transport phenomena are modelled with mass transfer formulations so that the balances could be formulated as an initial value problem. The results of the simulation and experiments are compared.

Expression have been derived in the paper for all four possible transfer functions between the inlet and the outlet gas and liquid steams under the counter-current absorption of a poorly soluble gas in a packed bed column. The transfer functions have been derived for the axially dispersed model with stagnant zone in the liquid phase and the axially dispersed model for the gas phase with interfacial transport of a gaseous component (PDE - AD). calculations with practical values of parameters suggest that only two of these transfer functions are applicable for experimental data evaluation.

A series of differently crosslinked macroporous 2,3-epoxypropyl methacrylate-ethylenedimethacrylate copolymers with chemically bonded propylsulphonic acid groups were used as catalysts for the kinetic study of reesterification of ethyl acetate by n-propanol in the liquid phase at 52 °C and in the gas phase at 90 °C. Analysis of kinetic data by the method of nonlinear regression for a series of equations of the Langmuir-Hinshelwood type showed that kinetic equations which describe best the course of the reaction are the same as for the earlier studied sulphonated macroporous styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers. Compared types of catalysts differ, however, in the dependence of their activity on the degree of crosslinking of the copolymer used.

Transport characteristics of four porous samples with bidisperse or broad monodisperse pore structure were determined by combination of diffusion and permeation measurements with simple gases and compared with results obtained from diffusion of toluene or α,α,α-trifluorotoluene in cyclohexane in liquid phase. From comparison of both types of results it followed that all pores are decisive for the rate of diffusional transport in liquids, whereas only the wide transport pores are significant in gas diffusion.
