So what? 241 11.10 In summary 243 Preface Those of us who have to formulate solutions for industrial applications can adopt two extreme positions with respect to how we go about it. The first way is to rely on intuition and experience, "how it's always been done". The second is to dig deep into profound theory in the hope that the answers will be found there. My experience with formulators around the world is that the "intuition" strategy is overwhelmingly popular and deeply unsatisfactory. And my own experience with high-powered solubility theory is that it is often a long-winded way of getting nowhere. However much of it I read, I could seldom use it to solve a problem. In writing this book I am doing what I always try to do: finding the minimum amount of theory that gives the maximum amount of benefit. In the case of solubility I have found that five bits of theory give me this mini-max. Four of these bits of theory are well-known. The fifth is little known and yet will feature strongly in this book because it is of huge practical importance. Here is what lies at the heart of this book: • Ideal Solubility theory for a crystalline solid simply tells you (mostly from its melting point) the maximum solubility you are likely to have without special effects. Simple and useful, and amazingly little-known. • Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP). Many readers will have heard of these. They are a 50-year old way of determining the best match between solutes (polymers, crystalline solids, nanoparticles, pigments ...) and solvents by providing three numbers for each solute or solvent which describe the van der Waals, polar and H-bonding capabilities. HSP are usable by experts and non-experts and cope well with the messy realities of a formulator's life. They have never gone out of fashion but recently they have experienced a boom in popularity, partly due to the HSPiP software of which I am co-author. • COSMO-RS. The COnductor Screening MOdel - Realistic Solvents approach relies on deep thermodynamics and one-off quantum chemical calculations to allow highly accurate solubility (and related) predictions. One of the many reasons for the popularity of COSMO-RS is that even for those who do not fully understand how it works, the key components of COSMO-RS have a strong visual element that helps explain where the numbers are coming from. • DLVO. This is the standard theory for dispersions and along with the idea of zeta potential and steric hindrance it is the only particle-specific tool that I have found to be of any practical benefit.

Zhu) Abstract In this paper, a phase-field model with viscoelastic effects is developed for polymer modified bitumen (PMB) with the aim to describe and predict the PMB storage stability and phase separation behaviour. The viscoelastic effects due to dynamic asymmetry between bitumen and polymer are represented in the model by introducing a composition-dependent mobility coefficient. A double-well potential for PMB system is proposed on the basis of the Flory-Huggins free energy of mixing, with some simplifying assumptions made to take into account the complex chemical composition of bitumen.

  • Solutes and Solution
    Solutes and Solution The first rule of solubility is “likes dissolve likes” Polar or ionic substances are soluble in polar solvents Non-polar substances are soluble in non- polar solvents Solutes and Solution There must be a reason why a substance is soluble in a solvent: either the solution process lowers the overall enthalpy of the system (Hrxn < 0) Or the solution process increases the overall entropy of the system (Srxn > 0) Entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder in a system—entropy must increase for any spontaneous change 1 Solutes and Solution The forces that drive the dissolution of a solute usually involve both enthalpy and entropy terms Hsoln < 0 for most species The creation of a solution takes a more ordered system (solid phase or pure liquid phase) and makes more disordered system (solute molecules are more randomly distributed throughout the solution) Saturation and Equilibrium If we have enough solute available, a solution can become saturated—the point when no more solute may be accepted into the solvent Saturation indicates an equilibrium between the pure solute and solvent and the solution solute + solvent solution KC 2 Saturation and Equilibrium solute + solvent solution KC The magnitude of KC indicates how soluble a solute is in that particular solvent If KC is large, the solute is very soluble If KC is small, the solute is only slightly soluble Saturation and Equilibrium Examples: + - NaCl(s) + H2O(l) Na (aq) + Cl (aq) KC = 37.3 A saturated solution of NaCl has a [Na+] = 6.11 M and [Cl-] =

The dependence on concentration and temperature of the interaction parameters is also considered, as well as some applications. 1 Introduction In a colloidal dispersion, the stability is governed by the balance between Van der Waals attractive forces and electrostatic repulsive forces, together with steric mechanisms. Being able to model their interplay is of utmost importance to predict the conditions for colloidal stability, which in turn is of major interest in basic research and for industrial applications. Complex fluids are composed typically at least of one or more solvents, poly- meric or non-polymeric surfactants, and crystalline substrates onto which these surfactants adsorb.

  • Molarity Versus Molality Concentration of Solutions SCIENTIFIC
    Molarity versus Molality Concentration of Solutions SCIENTIFIC Introduction Simple visual models using rubber stoppers and water in a cylinder help to distinguish between molar and molal concentrations of a solute. Concepts • Solutions • Concentration Materials Graduated cylinder, 1-L, 2 Water, 2-L Rubber stoppers, large, 12 Safety Precautions Watch for spills. Wear chemical splash goggles and always follow safe laboratory procedures when performing demonstrations. Procedure 1. Tell the students that the rubber stoppers represent “moles” of solute. 2. Make a “6 Molar” solution by placing six of the stoppers in a 1-L graduated cylinder and adding just enough water to bring the total volume to 1 liter. 3. Now make a “6 molal” solution by adding six stoppers to a liter of water in the other cylinder. 4. Remind students that a kilogram of water is about equal to a liter of water because the density is about 1 g/mL at room temperature. 5. Set the two cylinders side by side for comparison. Disposal The water may be flushed down the drain. Discussion Molarity, moles of solute per liter of solution, and molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent, are concentration expressions that students often confuse. The differences may be slight with dilute aqueous solutions. Consider, for example, a dilute solution of sodium hydroxide. A 0.1 Molar solution consists of 4 g of sodium hydroxide dissolved in approximately 998 g of water, while a 0.1 molal solution consists of 4 g of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 1000 g of water. The amount of water in both solutions is virtually the same.

  • THE SOLUBILITY of GASES in LIQUIDS Introductory Information C
    THE SOLUBILITY OF GASES IN LIQUIDS Introductory Information C. L. Young, R. Battino, and H. L. Clever INTRODUCTION The Solubility Data Project aims to make a comprehensive search of the literature for data on the solubility of gases, liquids and solids in liquids. Data of suitable accuracy are compiled into data sheets set out in a uniform format. The data for each system are evaluated and where data of sufficient accuracy are available values are recommended and in some cases a smoothing equation is given to represent the variation of solubility with pressure and/or temperature. A text giving an evaluation and recommended values and the compiled data sheets are published on consecutive pages. The following paper by E. Wilhelm gives a rigorous thermodynamic treatment on the solubility of gases in liquids. DEFINITION OF GAS SOLUBILITY The distinction between vapor-liquid equilibria and the solubility of gases in liquids is arbitrary. It is generally accepted that the equilibrium set up at 300K between a typical gas such as argon and a liquid such as water is gas-liquid solubility whereas the equilibrium set up between hexane and cyclohexane at 350K is an example of vapor-liquid equilibrium. However, the distinction between gas-liquid solubility and vapor-liquid equilibrium is often not so clear. The equilibria set up between methane and propane above the critical temperature of methane and below the criti­ cal temperature of propane may be classed as vapor-liquid equilibrium or as gas-liquid solubility depending on the particular range of pressure considered and the particular worker concerned.

  • Introduction to the Solubility of Liquids in Liquids
    INTRODUCTION TO THE SOLUBILITY OF LIQUIDS IN LIQUIDS The Solubility Data Series is made up of volumes of comprehensive and critically evaluated solubility data on chemical systems in clearly defined areas. Data of suitable precision are presented on data sheets in a uniform format, preceded for each system by a critical evaluation if more than one set of data is available. In those systems where data from different sources agree sufficiently, recommended values are pro­ posed. In other cases, values may be described as "tentative", "doubtful" or "rejected". This volume is primarily concerned with liquid-liquid systems, but related gas-liquid and solid-liquid systems are included when it is logical and convenient to do so. Solubilities at elevated and low 'temperatures and at elevated pressures may be included, as it is considered inappropriate to establish artificial limits on the data presented. For some systems the two components are miscible in all proportions at certain temperatures or pressures, and data on miscibility gap regions and upper and lower critical solution temperatures are included where appropriate and if available. TERMINOLOGY In this volume a mixture (1,2) or a solution (1,2) refers to a single liquid phase containing components 1 and 2, with no distinction being made between solvent and solute. The solubility of a substance 1 is the relative proportion of 1 in a mixture which is saturated with respect to component 1 at a specified temperature and pressure. (The term "saturated" implies the existence of equilibrium with respect to the processes of mass transfer between phases) • QUANTITIES USED AS MEASURES OF SOLUBILITY Mole fraction of component 1, Xl or x(l): ml/Ml nl/~ni = r(m.IM.)

  • Separation of Acetic Acid/4-Methyl-2-Pentanone, Formic
    Separation of acetic acid/4-methyl-2-pentanone, formic acid/4-methyl-2-pentanone and vinyl acetate/ethyl acetate by extractive distillation by Marc Wayne Paffhausen A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemical Engineering Montana State University © Copyright by Marc Wayne Paffhausen (1989) Abstract: Extractive distillation of the acetic acid/4-methyl-2-pentanone, formic acid/4-methyl-2-pentanone and vinyl acetate/ethyl acetate close boiling systems was investigated. Initial screening of potential extractive agents was carried out for each system in an Othmer vapor-liquid equilibrium still. Well over one hundred extractive agents, either alone or in combination with other compounds, were investigated overall. Subsequent testing of selected agents was carried out in a perforated-plate column which has been calibrated to have the equivalent of 5.3 theoretical plates. Relative volatilities for extractive distillation trial runs made in the perforated-plate column were calculated using the Fenske equation. All three systems investigated were successfully separated using chosen extractive agents. The use of polarity diagrams as an additional initial screening device was found to be a simple and effective technique for determining potential extractive agents as well. Decomposition of acetic acid during one of the test runs in the perforated-plate column was believed to have led to the discovery of ketene gas, which is both difficult to obtain and uniquely useful industrially.
