AbstractThe benzoic acid solubility in aqueous phase and in various aqueous mixtures of methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol was determined at temperatures ranging from 303 to 333 K by an analytical technique. The results showed that the solubility of the acid in alcohols-water binary mixtures is high as compared to pure aqueous phase. The addition of alcohols to water favors the dissolution of benzoic acid which increases further with the increase in alcohols content of water within the investigated temperature range. The benzoic acid solubility in water alone and aqueous mixtures of the selected alcohols was in the order of; 2-propanol in water > ethanol in water > methanol in water > pure water. It is also observed that within the investigated temperature range, the acid solubility increases with rise in temperature in both the aqueous phase and alcohols-water binary solvents. The logarithm of the mole fraction of the acid’s solubility also showed a linear trend against the temperature. The experimental results obtained in the current study were compared with the reported literature for the studied acid and other organic acids in various solvents and showing a good agreement. The study will have implications in the processes involving separation, crystallization and pharmaceutical formulation in various industries.

The determination of benzoic acid (BAc) solubility in pure imidazolium formate (ImForm) and their aqueous mixtures of [ImForm/water], was performed by the acid-base titration of the saturated solutions. [ImForm/water] solutions were tested using an ImForm concentration ranging from 1.66-4.33 g/L. The BAc solubility in pure ionic liquid was compared with that of some common organic solvents reported in literature, such as: ethanol, chloroform, cyclohexane. The highest solubility of BAc was for pure ImForm (from 1073 g/L at 293 K up to 2200 g/L at 323 K), the determined values being superior to BAc solubility in organic solvents mentioned. The results confirm that the polar solvents, such as ImForm and ethanol, present the highest BAc solubility values. At 293 K, the mole fraction of BAc in pure ImForm was 2.8 times higher than the mole fraction of BAc in ethanol. The BAc solubility in binary mixtures [ImForm/water] was compared with that determined in [NaCl/water] mixtures. At the same salt concentration, ranging from 1.66 to 4.33 g/L, at a constant working temperature (323 K), the increasing concentration of NaCl lowers the solubility of BAc. In opposite, the increasing of ImForm concentration determines a considerable increase in BAc solubility into the [ImForm/water] mixture. At 277 K, for 1.66 g/L salt concentration in water, the BAc solubility in [salt/water] solvents shows very similar values (~1.3 g/L) for both [ImForm/water] and [NaCl/water]. If the temperature increases to 323 K, the BAc solubility in [ImForm/water] mixture is about 1.5 times higher than that of solubility in distillated water and 2.5 times higher compared to that in [NaCl/water]. It was concluded that the benzoic acid presents a great solubility in pure ImForm and in its [ImForm/water] aqueous mixture.

ABSTRACTCorrosion behavior is a key issue in the assessment of disposal performance for activated waste such as spent fuel assemblies (i.e., hulls and end-pieces) because corrosion is expected to initiate radionuclide (e.g., C-14) leaching from such waste. Because the anticipated corrosion rate is extremely low, understanding and modeling Zircaloy (Zry) corrosion behavior under geological disposal conditions is important in predicting very long-term corrosion. Corrosion models applicable in the higher temperature ranges of nuclear reactors have been proposed based on considerable testing in the 523−633 K temperature range.In this study, corrosion tests were carried out to confirm the applicability of such existing models to the low temperature range of geological disposal, and to examine the influence of material, environmental, and other factors on corrosion rates under geological disposal conditions. A characterization analysis of the generated oxide film was also performed.To confirm applicability, the corrosion rate of Zry-4 in pure water with a temperature change from 303 K to 433 K was obtained using a hydrogen measuring technique, giving a corrosion rate for 180 days of 8 × 10-3 μm/y at 303 K.To investigate the influence of various factors, corrosion tests were carried out. The corrosion rates for Zry-2 and Zry-4 were almost same, and increased with a temperature increase from 303 K to 353 K. The influence of pH (12.5) compared with pure water was about 1.4 at 180 days at 303 K.

Abstract. Aqueous multiphase chemistry in the atmosphere can lead to rapid transformation of organic compounds, forming highly oxidized, low-volatility organic aerosol and, in some cases, light-absorbing (brown) carbon. Because liquid water is globally abundant, this chemistry could substantially impact climate, air quality, and health. Gas-phase precursors released from biogenic and anthropogenic sources are oxidized and fragmented, forming water-soluble gases that can undergo reactions in the aqueous phase (in clouds, fogs, and wet aerosols), leading to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOAAQ). Recent studies have highlighted the role of certain precursors like glyoxal, methylglyoxal, glycolaldehyde, acetic acid, acetone, and epoxides in the formation of SOAAQ. The goal of this work is to identify additional precursors and products that may be atmospherically important. In this study, ambient mixtures of water-soluble gases were scrubbed from the atmosphere into water at Brent, Alabama, during the 2013 Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study (SOAS). Hydroxyl (OH⚫) radical oxidation experiments were conducted with the aqueous mixtures collected from SOAS to better understand the formation of SOA through gas-phase followed by aqueous-phase chemistry. Total aqueous-phase organic carbon concentrations for these mixtures ranged from 92 to 179 µM-C, relevant for cloud and fog waters. Aqueous OH-reactive compounds were primarily observed as odd ions in the positive ion mode by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Ultra high-resolution Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) spectra and tandem MS (MS–MS) fragmentation of these ions were consistent with the presence of carbonyls and tetrols. Products were observed in the negative ion mode and included pyruvate and oxalate, which were confirmed by ion chromatography. Pyruvate and oxalate have been found in the particle phase in many locations (as salts and complexes). Thus, formation of pyruvate/oxalate suggests the potential for aqueous processing of these ambient mixtures to form SOAAQ.

The temperature dependence of the energy–volume coefficient of pure water and of aqueous potassium chloride solutions as a function of concentration over the temperature range 10–50 °C has been determined by direct measurement of constant volume thermal–pressure coefficient. The results show that a thermal anomaly exists in the energy–volume coefficient of aqueous solution in the temperature range 30–40 °C and becomes more pronounced as the concentration of solute is increased.

As a preliminary investigation into the establishment of a lithium removal technique for the components used at the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), experiments were performed on the dissolution of lithium in three solvents: ethanol, pure water, and ethanol–water. In these experiments, hemispherical lithium was immersed in the solvents at constant temperatures, and the degree of dissolution was measured continuously from the height of the sample. From the obtained data, the average dissolution rate in the solvents at each testing temperature (10–90 °C) and the amount of hydrogen generated by the chemical reaction were calculated. The average dissolution rates in ethanol, pure water, and ethanol–water at 30 °C were 0.01, 1.6, and 0.43 mm/min, respectively. Although the average dissolution rate increased with the testing temperature in the low-temperature range (10–50 °C) for all solvents, this increase was saturated in the high-temperature range (50–90 °C) in experiments with pure water and ethanol–water as solvents. The volume of gas collected during each experiment was in good agreement with the volume of hydrogen assumed to be generated from the chemical reaction of lithium with the solvents.

A novel polyamide thin film composite (PATFC) as a nanofiltration (NF) membrane was prepared by a modified interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction. Herein trimesoyl chloride and piperazine as the reagents, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as additive and polysulfone (PSF) ultrafiltration membrane as support were used respectively. The main goal of the present study is to improve TFC membrane water flux by addition of DMSO into the aqueous phase of IP reaction, without considerable rejection loss. Morphological, roughness, and chemical structures of the PATFC membrane were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), respectively. The AFM analysis demonstrated that as DMSO was added to the aqueous phase, the surface roughness of PATFC membrane increased. Results showed that the pure water flux of modified-PATFC membranes increased up to 46%, compared to nonmodified-PATFC membrane, while salt rejection was not sacrificed considerably. The results elucidated that the addition of DMSO leads to an increase in the number of cross-linking bonds between monomers and pore diameter, which results in enhancement of the membrane flux. Finally, the results showed that the newly developed PATFC membrane is a high-performance NF membrane which augments the efficiency of conventional PATFC membrane.
