Activity measurements in the ternary system NaBr + NaClO4 + H2O at 25°C

AbstractThe activity coefficients of sodium bromide in the ternary system NaBr+NaClO4+H2O were determined at 25°C and constant ionic strength of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 mol-kg−1 from emf of the cell without, liquid junction

Nanofiltration Separation of Aqueous Polyethyleneglycol – Salt Mixtures

ISE - Na|NaBr(m_A ), NaClO_4 (m_B ), AgCl_{(s)} 1 Ag

Compositions, Densities, and Refractive Indices of Potassium Chloride + Ethanol + Water and Sodium Chloride + Ethanol + Water Solutions at (298.15 and 313.15) K

The experimental activity coefficients were comparatively analyzed by using the Harned, Scatchard, Pitzer and Lim-HOLL treatments. All these methods are adequate for the analysis of the experimental data. The results have been compared with those of Lanier for the system: NaCl+NaClO4+H2O. The Gibbs excess energy of mixing was obtained and qualitatively interpreted in terms of ionic interactions.

Activity coefficients of NaCl in aqueous mixtures with ɛ-increasing co-solvent: Formamide–water mixtures at 298.15 K

In recent years, lithium containing salts have been studied for thermal energy storage (TES) systems applications, because of their optimal thermophysical properties. In solar power plants, lithium is seen as a way to improve the properties of molten salts used today. Lithium nitrate is a good candidate for sensible heat storage, due to its ability to increase the salt mixture’s working temperature range. In the present research, thermophysical properties characterization of lithium nitrate containing salts, produced in Chile, have been carried out. Corrosion evaluations of carbon and low chromium steels were performed at 390°C for 1000 hours. Thermophysical properties of the salt mixtures, such as thermal stability and heat capacity, were measured before and after corrosion tests. Chemical composition of the salts was also determined and an estimation of Chilean production costs is reported. Results showed that purity, thermal stability and heat capacity of the salts were reduced, caused by partial therm...

Activity coefficients of NaF in (glucose + water) and (sucrose + water) mixtures at 298.15 K

To investigate nanofiltration (NF) separation for recycling polyethylenglycol (PEG) from an ion partition process using an aqueous two-phase system, fractionation performance of five different NF membranes (NF270, SR3, SR100, SR2, and BW30) with solutions of NaNO3, KClO4, and PEG 4000 in water comprising various mixtures were studied. PEG rejections and salt passage were analyzed and explained based on size exclusion as well as electrostatic interactions. The highest permeate flux at high rejection of PEG as well as the lowest salt rejections were obtained with SR2 and NF270 membranes. Similar salt rejections were observed for mixed solute solutions and complex mixtures, all following this trend: SR3 > NF270 > SR2. The PEG rejections were well above 95%. This study also revealed that high salt passage of above 90% could be achieved with the same NF membrane only by unstirred conditions through concentration polarization mechanism; however, at the expense of low flux, especially with high PEG concentrations.
