Abstract In this study we evaluated new mixing (θ and ψ) Pitzer parameters, and developed models for solution behavior and solid liquid equilibria for the following mixed systems: 1) KCl-AlCl3-H2O, 2) KCl-FeCl3-H2O, 3) KCl-CrCl3-H2O, 4) MgCl2-AlCl3-H2O, 5) MgCl2-FeCl3-H2O, 6) MgCl2-CrCl3-H2O, 7) CaCl2-AlCl3-H2O, 8) CaCl2-FeCl3-H2O, and 9) CaCl2-CrCl3-H2O at 25°C. The solubility modeling approach, implemented to the Pitzer specific interaction equations is employed. The values of the binary parameters for the binary sub-systems needed here to parameterize models for mixed systems are taken from our previous studies. Mixing solution parameters are evaluated in this study using activity (when available) and solubility data. Following an approach in our previous modeling studies on M(III) chloride and sulfate systems, in this work we accept that complex Al(III), Cr(III), and Fe(III) aqueous species do not exist in solutions. We test the new models by comparing model predictions with experimental data (activity data for unsaturated solutions and solubility data in ternary systems). The agreement between model predictions and experimental data is very good. Combining present parameterization, with our M(III) models developed previously we fully complete our at 25°C model for the 8th component system Na-K-Mg-Ca-Al(III)-Cr(III)-Fe(III)-Cl-H2O. The resulting model calculates solubilities and solution activities to high solution concentration within experimental uncertainty. Limitations of the model due to data insufficiencies are discussed. The resulting parameterization was developed for the Pitzer formalism based PHREEQC database.

AbstractThe knowledge of the thermodynamic behavior of multicomponent aqueous electrolyte systems is of main interest in geo-, and environmental-sciences. The main objective of this study is the development of a high accuracy thermodynamic model for solution behavior, and highly soluble M(III)Cl3(s) (M= Al, Fe, Cr) minerals solubility in Na-Al(III)-Cr(III)-Fe(III)-Cl-H2O system at 25°C. Comprehensive thermodynamic models that accurately predict aluminium, chromium and iron aqueous chemistry and M(III) mineral solubilities as a function of pH, solution composition and concentration are critical for understanding many important geochemical and environmental processes involving these metals (e.g., mineral dissolution/alteration, rock formation, changes in rock permeability and fluid flow, soil formation, mass transport, toxic M(III) remediation). Such a model would also have many industrial applications (e.g., aluminium, chromium and iron production, and their corrosion, solve scaling problems in geothermal energy and oil production). Comparisons of solubility and activity calculations with the experimental data in binary and ternary systems indicate that model predictions are within the uncertainty of the data. Limitations of the model due to data insufficiencies are discussed. The solubility modeling approach, implemented to the Pitzer specific interaction equations is employed. The resulting parameterization was developed for the geochemical Pitzer formalism based PHREEQC database.

In the 1970s, IUPAC’s Solubility Data Commission (now the Subcommittee on Solubility and Equilibrium Data) embarked on a project to compile and critically evaluate experimental data for solubility in systems of scientific and practical interest. The first volume in the IUPAC Solubility Data Series, covering the solubility of helium and neon in liquid solvents, was published in 1979. Subsequent years saw many volumes on gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, and solid-liquid solubilities. These volumes are an invaluable scientific resource.

Melting And Solidification

Recent advances in the understanding of melting and solidification heat transfer in metals and alloys are discussed. Since heat transfer is generally the rate-determining process, the emphasis in the paper is on fundamental heat transfer processes during solid–liquid phase transformation and comparison between mathematical-numerical model predictions with experimental data. After a brief discussion of theoretical considerations, unidirectional and multidirectional melting and solidification processes are reviewed. The important role played by buoyancy-driven fluid flow is discussed and problem areas needing research attention are identified.

Anaerobic Reactor

An expanded-bed anaerobic reactor with granular activated carbon (GAC) medium has been developed to treat wastewaters that contain a high concentration of inhibitory and/or refractory organic compounds as well as readily degradable organic compounds. The process is characterised by a combination of two removal mechanisms; adsorption on GAC and biological degradation by microorganisms grown on GAC. Applicability of the reactor to treatment of phenol, chloroacetaldehyde (CAA), pentachlorophenol (PCP) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) was discussed based on experimental data. All chemicals focused on here were removed well and stably at a removal efficiency of more than 98% even during starting operation and shock load operation. Chemicals in influent that exceeded biological degradation capacity was initially adsorbed on GAC and then gradually degraded, and hence the adsorptive capacity of GAC was regenerated biologically. These results proved that a biological activated carbon anaerobic reactor was effective for treatment of wastewater containing hazardous chemicals, especially for strongly absorbable chemicals, as well as readily degradable organic compounds at high concentration.

Abstract Understanding of the diffusio-osmosis, the flow induced by a solute gradient acting in narrow interfacial layers at nanoscale solid-liquid interface, is of great value in view of the increasing importance of micro- and nano-fluidic devices and self-propelling particle. Here, using molecular dynamics simulations, we develop a numerical method for direct simulation of diffusio-osmosis flows mimicking the realistic experiment without any assumed external forces. It allows us to obtain reliable flow details which is however hard to get in experiments. We found that the solvent-wall interaction, previously overlooked in classical paradigm, plays a critical role in diffusio-osmosis process. In particular, diffusio-osmosis is controlled by the interaction difference between solute-wall and solvent-wall. When solute-than solvent-wall, a surface excess (depletion) of solute particles on solid-liquid interface is formed which induces diffusio-osmosis flow towards low (high) concentration. We modified the classical Derjaguin expression to include the effect of nanoscale hydrodynamics boundary conditions for the accurate prediction of diffusio-osmosis characteristics. Overall, our results provide the clear guidance for controlling fluids flow and manipulating motion of colloids under tunable solute concentrations.
