Tracer diffusion coefficients obtained from the Taylor dispersion technique at 25.0 °C were measured to study the influence of sodium, ammonium and magnesium salts at 0.01 and 0.1 mol dm−3 on the transport behavior of sodium hyaluronate (NaHy, 0.1%). The selection of these salts was based on their position in Hofmeister series, which describe the specific influence of different ions (cations and anions) on some physicochemical properties of a system that can be interpreted as a salting-in or salting-out effect. In our case, in general, an increase in the ionic strength (i.e., concentrations at 0.01 mol dm−3) led to a significant decrease in the limiting diffusion coefficient of the NaHy 0.1%, indicating, in those circumstances, the presence of salting-in effects. However, the opposite effect (salting-out) was verified with the increase in concentration of some salts, mainly for NH4SCN at 0.1 mol dm−3. In this particular salt, the cation is weakly hydrated and, consequently, its presence does not favor interactions between NaHy and water molecules, promoting, in those circumstances, less resistance to the movement of NaHy and thus to the increase of its diffusion (19%). These data, complemented by viscosity measurements, permit us to have a better understanding about the effect of these salts on the transport behaviour of NaHy.

AbstractCation diffusion in the spinel solid solution (Fe1-xTix)3-δO4 (0≤ x ≤ 0.3) was investigated at 1200 ºC as a function of oxygen activity, aO2 and cationic composition, x. At different cationic compositions, cation tracer diffusion coefficients, D*Me of Me = Fe and Ti were measured as a function of oxygen activity. Plots of log DMe vs. loga0 show V-shaped curves, indicating that different types of point defects prevail at high anc low oxygen activities. Thermogravimetric experiments were conducted, using a high resolution microbalance, to determine the deviation from stoichiometry in (Fe1-xTix)3-δO4 at 1200 °C. δversus log aO2 curves are S-shaped. An analysis of the oxygen activity dependences of thecation diffusion coefficients and the deviation from stoichiometry with regardto the point defect structure suggests that at high oxygen activities cation vacancies are the predominant defects governing the deviation from stoichiometry and the diffusion ofcations. At low oxygen activities, and at small values of x, cation interstitials determine the deviation from stoichiometry, while they dominate for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3 inthe cation diffusion.

Thermodynamic Factors

The impact of thermodynamic factors on deviation from linearity of diffusion path in the ternary system Cu-Fe-Ni is analyzed. For that the slope function of the diffusion path for the diffusion couples 65Ni30Cu5Fe –29.5Ni16.5Cu54Fe, 49.5Ni50.5Fe – 51Ni49Cu and 84Cu16Ni – 50Ni50Fe, annealed at 1000°C for 196h, were calculated by an approximate equation using only thermodynamic data. Results of the calculation were compared with the values of the slope function obtained directly from experimental data. It is shown that despite of the fact that the tracer diffusion coefficients of the components in the system Cu-Fe-Ni are not equal the coincidence between the calculated and experimental values of the slope function is remarkable. This allows us to conclude that at least in this case the deviation of the diffusion path from linearity depends mainly on the thermodynamic properties of the system.

Arrhenius Temperature

In order to explore the behaviour of diffusing ionic species in a molten salt in which non-Arrhenius behaviour of other transport properties is established, the diffusivities in dilute solution of Ag+ and Na+ in 38.1 mol% Ca(NO3)2+ 61.9 mol% KNO3 have been measured. For both ions limited radio-tracer diffusion coefficients, determined using a diffusion-out-of-capillary method, are reported. D(Ag+) has also been measured by chronopotentiometry, by which means the range and reliability of the measurements were considerably extended. Chronopotentiometric and tracer data agree within expected errors of measurement. Both ionic diffusivities show a non-Arrhenius temperature dependence which is indistinguishable in magnitude from that of the electrical conductance of the solvent melt.
