Adsorption behavior of Rhodamine B (RhB) onto thermal modified rectorite (TM-R) has been thermodynamically investigated. The thermal modified rectorite prepared at different temperatures was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The analysis of the isotherm equilibrium data using the Langmuir and Freundlich equations by linear methods showed that the data fitted better with Freundlich model than the Langmuir model. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated based on Van’t Hoff equation. The average change of standard adsorption heat of RhB was 88.96 kJ/mol. The adsorption Gibbs free energy changes are in the range of -26.88~-34.52 kJ/mol, The negative of adsorption Gibbs free energy changes in all cases are indicative of the spontaneous nature of the adsorption interaction, and the values of adsorption entropy changes are positive.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine and model the drying kinetics of 'Cabacinha' pepper fruits at different temperatures of the drying air, as well as obtain the thermodynamic properties involved in the drying process of the product. Drying was carried out under controlled conductions of temperature (60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 °C) using three samples of 130 g of fruit, which were weighed periodically until constant mass. The experimental data were adjusted to different mathematical models often used in the representation of fruit drying. Effective diffusion coefficients, calculated from the mathematical model of liquid diffusion, were used to obtain activation energy, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy. The Midilli model showed the best fit to the experimental data of drying of 'Cabacinha' pepper fruits. The increase in drying temperature promoted an increase in water removal rate, effective diffusion coefficient and Gibbs free energy, besides a reduction in fruit drying time and in the values of entropy and enthalpy. The activation energy for the drying of pepper fruits was 36.09 kJ mol-1.

Solid-state reaction was used for Li7La3Zr2O12 material synthesis from Li2CO3, La2O3 and ZrO2 powders. Phase investigation of Li7La3Zr2O12 was carried out by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) methods. The thermodynamic characteristics were investigated by calorimetry measurements. The molar heat capacity (Cp,m), the standard enthalpy of formation from binary compounds (ΔoxHLLZO) and from elements (ΔfHLLZO), entropy (S0298), the Gibbs free energy of the Li7La3Zr2O12 formation (∆f G0298) and the Gibbs free energy of the LLZO reaction with metallic Li (∆rGLLZO/Li) were determined. The corresponding values are Cp,m = 518.135 + 0.599 × T − 8.339 × T−2, (temperature range is 298–800 K), ΔoxHLLZO = −186.4 kJ·mol−1, ΔfHLLZO = −9327.65 ± 7.9 kJ·mol−1, S0298 = 362.3 J·mol−1·K−1, ∆f G0298 = −9435.6 kJ·mol−1, and ∆rGLLZO/Li = 8.2 kJ·mol−1, respectively. Thermodynamic performance shows the possibility of Li7La3Zr2O12 usage in lithium-ion batteries.

The adsorption equilibrium and thermodynamics of pigment extracted from Fenugreek after degumming on macroporous resins was investigated under differentinitial concentrations. The suitability of the Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models to the equilibrium data was investigated. The model fitness was determined by R2 . Thermodynamic parameters were calculated by the Van’t Hof equation.The results showed that Freundlich model gave a better fit of adsorption isotherms than Langmuir models. The positive value of enthalpy(∆H) indicated that the adsorption was endothermic, the negative value of Gibbs free energy (∆G) showed the spontaneous and favoured nature of adsorption, and the entropy(∆S) was positive.The resins LS-46 showed an effective adsorbtion for Fenugreek yellow pigment.

Background: The equation of the difference between reverse and forward Gibbs free energy of activation (ΔΔGES#) reflects Michaelis-Menten constant (KM) in both directions; this may not be applicable to all enzymes even if the reverse reaction is speculatively Michaelian. Arrhenius activation energy, Ea and (Ea - ΔGES#)/RT) are considered = ΔGES# and KM respectively. The equations are considered unlikely. Objectives: The objectives of this research are: 1) To derive what is considered as an appropriate equation for the determination of the difference in ΔGES# between the reverse and forward directions, 2) calculate the difference between the reverse and total forward ΔGES#, and 3) show reasons why Ea ≠ ΔGES#  in all cases. Methods: A major theoretical research and experimentation using Bernfeld method. Results and Discussion: A dimensionless equilibrium constant KES is given. Expectedly, the rate constants were higher at higher temperatures and the free energy of activation with salt was < the Arrhenius activation energy, Ea; ΔΔGES#ranges between 67 - 68 kJ/mol. Conclusion: The equations for the calculation of the difference in free energy of activation (ΔΔGES#) between the forward and reverse directions and a dimensionless equilibrium constant for the formation of enzyme-substrate (ES) were derivable. The large positive value of the ΔΔGES# shows that the forward reaction is not substantially spontaneous; this is due perhaps, to the nature of substrate. The equality of Arrhenius activation energy (Ea) and ΔGES# may not be ruled out completely but it must not always be the case; the presence of additive like salt can increase the magnitude of Ea well above the values of the ΔGES#. A dimensionless equilibrium constant for the net yield of ES seems to be a better alternative than KM. The Ea unlike ΔGES#  requires at least two different temperatures for its calculation.

To fill the knowledge of adsorption characteristics of CH4 and CO2 associated with equilibrium and thermodynamics, adsorption equilibrium tests of pure gas on a coal were conducted under the different temperatures (35 ?C, 50 ?C, and 65?C by the static volumetric method. The equilibrium data were well matched by the SLD-PR model. The influence of some significant factors including temperature, pressure, adsorption potential and surface free energy on gas adsorption capacity were discussed. The results showed that the higher temperature (gas pressure) corresponds to the smaller (larger) adsorption capacity and the larger adsorption potential is, the smaller adsorption capacity is. Taking CH4 as adsorbent, the modified Langmuir equation can well match the SLD-PR model. However, when the adsorption medium is CO2, modified Freundlich equation is better. Using the two modified equations, we study further the relationship among the variation of surface free energy, its reduction rate and gas adsorption capacity. It can be concluded the larger the gas adsorption capacity is, the greater the reduction of surface free energy is, and the smaller the reduction rate of surface free energy is.

Acetaminophen also known as paracetamol, is a drug used in the treatment of pain and fever. It is essentially used for the relief of mild to moderate pain. The presence of phenol and carbonyl oxygen atom enables acetaminophen to behave as a bidentate ligand. The stoichiometry, stability constants and Gibbs free energies of acetaminophen-Zn (II) were determined colorimetrically at 25 and 40 oC using continuous variation and mole  ratio methods. The formation of Zn (II) complex with acetaminophen was studied colorimetrically at an absorption maximum of 630 nm at different temperatures. The data showed that Zn (II) and acetaminophen combine in the molar ratio of 1:1 at pH 7.4 with ionic strength maintained using 0.1M KNO3. Calculated stability constants values were 2.70 x 103 and 2.20 x 103 using continuous variation method and 7.21 x 103 and 7.21 x 103 using mole ratio methods at 25 and 40 oC respectively. Calculated ΔGƟ for the complex were - 1.96 x 104 and -1.98 x 104 J using continuous variation method and -2.2 x 104 J and - 2.31 x 104 J using mole ratio method at 25 and 40 oC respectively. The stability constant and Gibbs free energy results suggested that acetaminophen used in the study is a good chelating agent and can be an efficient antidote in the therapy of Zn (II) overload or poisoning. Keywords: Acetaminophen, Zinc, complex, stability constant, Gibbs free energy.

Abstract The contribution summarises the results of oxygen activity determinations, which were measured and registered continuously in castings from cast irons with various types of graphite. The results were used to find the relationship between two variables: natural logarithm of oxygen activities and reverse value of thermodynamic temperature 1 /T. Obtained regression lines were used to calculate oxygen activity at different temperatures, to calculate Gibbs free energy ΔG at the different temperatures and to calculate the single ΔG value for significant temperature of the graphite solidification. The results were processed by a statistical analysis of data files for the different types of graphite with flake, vermicular and spheroidal graphite. Each material has its proper typical oxygen activities range and individual temperature function of Gibbs free energy for analysing and governing casting quality.

In this paper Thermodynamic calculation is shown. We have found simulation for phase diagram, Gibbs free energy and Activity curve at different temperatures (1200 K, 1225 K and 1250 K). Phase diagrams, Gibbs free-energy and the component activities of (Fe-Co) alloys system were calculated by Calphad method. Results show that the values of Gibbs energy were negative, which shows the stability of (Fe-Co). Negative deviation had occurred from Raoult’s Law in activities, which indicates that there is strong interaction between Fe and Co in (Fe-Co) alloy. By increasing the temperature the activity increases and deviation in activity decreases. For all the thermodynamic calculations the Thermo-Calc software, databases and Calphad method have used.
