Prediction of the Osmotic/activity Coefficients of Alkali Hydroxide Electrolytes

<div><div><div><p>The osmotic/activity coefficients are one of the most fundamental and important properties of electrolyte solutions. There is currently no reliable means of predicting them from first principles without relying on extensive fitting to experimental measure- ments. The alkali hydroxide aqueous electrolytes are a particularly important class of solutions due to the crucial role they play in a vast range of applications. Here, for the first time we predict the osmotic/activity coefficients of these solutions without any fitting using a previously developed continuum solvent model of ion–ion interactions with no modifications. The feasibility of making these predictions with first princi- ples molecular simulation is also assessed. This demonstrates the reliability of this continuum solvent model and provides a plausible pathway to the fast and accurate prediction of these important properties for a wide range of electrolyte solutions.</p></div></div></div>

Effect of Alkali Hydroxide on the Properties of PTFE Graphite Bonded Aluminium Titanium Composite Sheet

This study focused on the effect of some alkali hydroxide on the properties of a composite sheet prepared by power spray coating of clean aluminium-titanium sheets with PTFE/graphite emulsion. The blank sheets were washed with hot water and dried at 80 °C for 5-6 minutes before power spraying of colorless polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE/graphite emulsion in perfluoro kerosene followed by hot-rolling under a pressure of 150-200 KPa at the temperature 50 °C higher than the melting temperature of the PTFE polymer (Du Pont). The obtained sandwich was sintered at 550 °C for a few minutes. Alkali hydroxide was added to the polymer emulsion before spraying. Results showed that temperature and time enhanced the extent of adhesion of the two metals to form a homogeneous composite metal sheet. Alkali hydroxide inclusion deteriorates the stability of the prepared sheet. The alkali effect was because PTFE is inactive material, Incompatible with molten alkali metals and alkali hydroxide. The disability of the alkali hydroxide to be incompatible with the polymer material experienced changes in its intrinsic properties. Alkali halides have insignificant effect. Alkali halides just displayed a filling in material.
