Hongyuan Cheng Kongens Lyngby, October 2003 Preface ii Summary iii Summary In this work, the key physical properties of non-ionic and ionic surfactant solutions, such as the critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow), are studied by molecular thermodynamic methods based on UNIFAC. The mean activity coefficients of the aqueous electrolyte and organic electrolyte solutions are modelled by a modified Achard’s UNIFAC model proposed in this work. Some of important properties in the surfactant solutions, such as the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB), the Krafft point (KP), the cloud point (CP), the aggregation number (ng), the toxicity (EC50) and the bio- concentration factor (BCF) are also investigated. And suitable correlations have been developed. Surfactant solutions are unique systems because the surfactant molecules form micelles in aqueous and non-aqueous solvents by self-assembly under the hydrophobic interaction with solvent molecules. Surfactant solutions have attracted much attention from academia and industry because they play important role in different industrial areas, e.g. chemical and oil industry, pharmaceutical and bio-industries, paper, food and film industries. In this work, different thermodynamic frameworks for the micelle formation of surfactant molecules in aqueous solution are systematically reviewed and compared. The method proposed by Chen et al. (Chen, C.-C., AIChE J., 42, 3231, 1996; Chen, C.-C., C. P. Bokis, and P. Mathias, AIChE J., 47, 2593, 2001) is selected for studying the micelle formation of surfactant molecules in aqueous solutions. Based on the method of Chen (1996), the CMC of non-ionic surfactant solutions is correlated and predicted successfully with the UNIFAC method. In this step, a new UNIFAC functional group is introduced. The necessary interaction parameters for the new group are obtained from vapour-liquid equilibrium data. In order to correlate the CMC of ionic surfactant solutions, an electrolyte UNIFAC model proposed by Achard et al. (Achard C., C. G. Dussap, and J. B. Gros, AIChE J., 40, 1210 , 1994a; Achard C., C. G. Dussap, and J. B. Gros, Fluid Phase Equilibria, 98, 71, 1994b) is modified and used to correlate the mean ionic activity coefficient of aqueous electrolyte and organic electrolyte solutions. It was found that the structural parameters (Q, Summary iv R) of ions used in the work of Achard and others do not follow Flory-Huggins assumption (Q/Rd1). Thus, a new method is developed to calculate the Q, R of ions from ionic radii using the condition Q/R<1. The mean activity coefficients of some aqueous electrolyte solutions are correlated with the modified Achard method and compared with the electrolyte NRTL and the extended UNIQUAC models. The mean activity coefficients of five sodium carboxylate systems are correlated simultaneously with the modified Achard model. The correlation results show a good agreement with the experimental values. Based on the work of Chen et al. (2001), the CMC of sodium alkyl sulphates, sodium alkyl sulfonates and potassium carboxylates are successfully correlated using the modified Achard model. Furthermore, the Kow of phthalates and non-ionic surfactants are predicted with different UNIFAC methods and commercial software. The prediction results are compared with the few experimental data available. Finally, some correlations for properties of surfactant solutions, i.e. HLB, KP, CP, ng, EC50 and BCF are presented. Summary v Summary in Danish – Resume på dansk I Ph.D arbejdet er de vigtige fysiske egenskaber af ikke-ioniske og ioniske surfaktantopløsninger, så som kritisk micelle koncentration (CMC) og oktanol-vand fordelingskoefficient (Kow), undersøgt ved molekylære termodynamiske metoder baseret på UNIFAC. Middel-ion-aktivitetskoefficienter for vandige elektrolytopløsninger og organiske elektrolytopløsninger er modelleret vha. en modificeret Achard’s UNIFAC model foreslået i denne afhandling. Nogle vigtige egenskaber for surfaktantopløsninger, som hydrofil-lipofil balance (HLB), Krafft punkt (KP), ”cloud”-punkt (CP), aggregationstal (ng), toksisitet (EC50) og bio-koncentrationsfaktor (BCF) er ligeledes bestemt og passende korrelationer er udviklet. Surfaktantopløsninger er unikke systemer, fordi surfaktantmolekyler i vandige og ikke- vandige opløsningsmidler danner miceller ved selvorganisening ved hydrofob vekselvirkning med solventmolekyler. Surfaktantopløsninger har fået megen akademisk og industriel opmærksomhed, fordi de spiller en vigtig rolle på forskellige industrielle områder, f.eks. olie- og kemisk-industri, farmaceutisk- og bio-industri, papir, fødevare og film industri. I Ph.D. arbejdet, er forskellige termodynamiske metoder for micelledannelse af surfaktantmolekyler i vandig opløsning systematisk undersøgt og sammenlignet. Metoden foreslået af Chen et al. (Chen, C.-C., AIChE J., 42, 3231, 1996; Chen, C.-C., C. P. Bokis, and P. Mathias, AIChE J., 47, 2593, 2001) er udvalgt for yderligere at undersøge micelledannelse af surfaktantmolekyler i vandige opløsninger. Baseret på Chens metode (1996), er CMC af ikke-ioniske sufaktantopløsninger korreleret og forudsagt med succes ved anvendelse af UNIFAC metoden. I dette trin er en ny funktionel gruppe introduceret

Received: 22 June 2012; in revised form: 26 July 2012 / Accepted: 31 July 2012 / Published: 13 August 2012 Abstract: Frothers are surfactants commonly used to reduce bubble size in mineral flotation. This paper describes a methodology to characterize frothers by relating impact on bubble size reduction represented by CCC (critical coalescence concentration) to frother structure represented by HLB (hydrophile-lipophile balance). Thirty-six surfactants were tested from three frother families: Aliphatic Alcohols, Polypropylene Glycol Alkyl Ethers and Polypropylene Glycols, covering a range in alkyl groups (represented by n, the number of carbon atoms) and number of Propylene Oxide groups (represented by m). The Sauter 3 mean size (D32) was derived from bubble size distribution measured in a 0.8 m mechanical flotation cell. The D32 vs. concentration data were fitted to a 3-parameter model to determine CCC95, the concentration giving 95% reduction in bubble size compared to water only.

Weiss Received: 10 November 2016; Accepted: 2 December 2016; Published: 1 January 2017 Abstract: Supramolecular polysaccharide-based hydrogels have attracted considerable research interest recently due to their high structural functionality, low toxicity, and potential applications in foods, cosmetics, catalysis, drug delivery, tissue engineering and the environment. Modulation of the stability of hydrogels is of paramount importance, especially in the case of stimuli-responsive systems. This review will update the recent progress related to the rational design of supramolecular hydrogels with the objective of understanding the gelation process and improving their physical gelation properties for tailored applications. Emphasis will be given to supramolecular host–guest systems with reference to conventional gels in describing general aspects of gel formation. A brief account of the structural characterization of various supramolecular hydrogels is also provided in order to gain a better understanding of the design of such materials relevant to the nature of the intermolecular interactions, thermodynamic properties of the gelation process, and the critical concentration values of the precursors and the solvent components. This mini-review contributes to greater knowledge of the rational design of supramolecular hydrogels with tailored applications in diverse fields ranging from the environment to biomedicine. Keywords: gel; sol; aggregation; cyclodextrin; hydration 1. Introduction Polymer gels are generally defined as 3D networks swollen by a large amount of water [1].

  • Prediction of Solubility of Amino Acids Based on Cosmo Calculaition
    PREDICTION OF SOLUBILITY OF AMINO ACIDS BASED ON COSMO CALCULAITION by Kaiyu Li A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering Baltimore, Maryland October 2019 Abstract In order to maximize the concentration of amino acids in the culture, we need to obtain solubility of amino acid as a function of concentration of other components in the solution. This function can be obtained by calculating the activity coefficient along with solubility model. The activity coefficient of the amino acid can be calculated by UNIFAC. Due to the wide range of applications of UNIFAC, the prediction of the activity coefficient of amino acids is not very accurate. So we want to fit the parameters specific to amino acids based on the UNIFAC framework and existing solubility data. Due to the lack of solubility of amino acids in the multi-system, some interaction parameters are not available. COSMO is a widely used way to describe pairwise interactions in the solutions in the chemical industry. After suitable assumptions COSMO can calculate the pairwise interactions in the solutions, and largely reduce the complexion of quantum chemical calculation. In this paper, a method combining quantum chemistry and COSMO calculation is designed to accurately predict the solubility of amino acids in multi-component solutions in the ii absence of parameters, as a supplement to experimental data.
