Data for crystallisation, dissolution and saturation temperatures of the ternary system: Hexadecane and octadecane representative in fuel solvents.

ABSTRACT: The data presented in this article relates to the crystallisation of hexadecane (C₁₆H₃₄) and octadecane (C₁₈H₃₈), being the predominant alkanes present in hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), from solvents representative of fuel (dodecane, toluene and kerosene). Data was collected for eleven C₁₆H₃₄/C₁₈H₃₈ compositions for each solvent used. Raw crystallisation and dissolution data is provided over a range of solution concentrations and cooling rates used under a poly-thermal crystallisation methodology. Equilibrium saturation temperature data is also presented for each composition, concentration and solvent system, indicating the trend in solubility for each solution.

Data for crystallisation, dissolution and saturation temperatures of a model fuel comprising eicosane crystallising from supersaturated toluene solutions in the presence of a cold-flow improver additive.

Project description:The data presented in this article relates to the crystallisation of the long chain hydrocarbon eicosane (C20H42), from supersaturated toluene solutions in the absence/presence of a commercially available cold-flow improver additive (IA) at different solution treat rates. Data was collected for treat rates of 0, 0.1, 0.5, 2, 3, 5 and 10 wt% IA with respect to eicosane, with each treat rate studied over four solution concentrations. Data is collected by transmission vs. solution temperature experimental investigations and is analysed through a conventional transmission analysis route (STR) and a reanalysed route that takes into account multiple phase transformation behaviour (RRT). Average crystallisation and dissolution data is provided over a range of solution concentrations and cooling rates used under a polythermal crystallisation methodology for each analysis route. Equilibrium saturation temperature, supersolubility and metastable zone width data is also presented for each treat rate, concentration and analysis route. Laser transmission as a function of solution temperature profiles are displayed for IA crystallising from toluene solutions. This data relates to the research article: Kaskiewicz, P.

Oxidative Dissolution of Metals in Organic Solvents.

Project description:Dissolution of metals in organic solvents is relevant to various application fields, such as metal extraction from ores or secondary resources, surface etching or polishing of metals, direct synthesis of organometallic compounds, and separation of metals from other compounds. Organic solvents for dissolution of metals can offer a solution when aqueous systems fail, such as separation of metals from metal oxides, because both the metal and metal oxide could codissolve in aqueous acidic solutions. This review critically discusses organic media (conventional molecular organic solvents, ionic liquids, deep-eutectic solvents and supercritical carbon dioxide) for oxidative dissolution of metals in different application areas. The reaction mechanisms of dissolution processes are discussed for various lixiviant systems which generally consist of oxidizing agents, chelating agents, and solvents. Different oxidizing agents for dissolution of metals are reviewed such as halogens, halogenated organics, donor-acceptor electron-transfer systems, polyhalide ionic liquids, and others. Both chemical and electrochemical processes are included. The review can guide researchers to develop more efficient, economic, and environmentally friendly processes for dissolution of metals in their elemental state.

Rapid Dissolution of Noble Metals in Organic Solvents.

Project description:The dissolution of elemental noble metals (NMs) such as gold, platinum, palladium, and copper is necessary for their recycling but carries a high environmental burden due to the use of strong acids and toxic reagents. Herein, a new approach was developed for the rapid dissolution of elemental NMs in organic solvents using mixtures of triphenylphosphine dichloride or oxalyl chloride and hydrogen peroxide, forming metal chloride salts directly. Almost quantitative dissolution of metallic Au, Pd, and Cu was observed within minutes at room temperature. For Pt, dissolution was achieved, albeit more slowly, using the chlorinating oxidant alone but was inhibited on addition of hydrogen peroxide. After leaching, transfer of PtIV and PdII chloride salts from the organic phase into a 6 m HCl aqueous phase facilitated their separation by precipitation of PtIV using a simple diamide ligand. In contrast, the retention of AuIII chloridometalate in the organic phase allowed its selective separation from Ni and Cu from a leachate solution obtained from electronic CPUs. This new approach has potential application in the hydrometallurgical leaching and purification of NMs from ores, spent catalysts, and electronic and nano-wastes.

Eutectic solvents with tuneable hydrophobicity: lipid dissolution and recovery.

Project description:Despite the promising advantages of eutectic solvents, the application of these solvents as an extraction solvent is still limited due to the challenging product recovery. Previously, it was reported that lipids could be recovered from a hydrophobic eutectic solvent with the principle of switchable hydrophobicity. However, this method still involves additional chemicals, such as polymeric amines, water, and CO2, which need to be removed later. In this study, we proposed a different approach by shifting the hydrophobicity spectrum of a semi-hydrophobic solvent. Made of hydrophilic imidazole and hydrophobic hexanoic acid, this combination showed tuneable hydrophobicity when the composition was changed, shown by the change of dipolarity (π*) scale from solvatochromic analysis. At low imidazole content, the solvent was able to dissolve sunflower oil and algae oil, whereas, at high imidazole content, the solvent showed high affinity towards water. By adding imidazole to the solution of oil and the solvent, a phase split was induced between the oil-rich upper phase and the solvent-rich lower phase. With this approach, ∼75% of recovery efficiency was achieved for the two oils, with the purity of ∼100% for sunflower oil and 86% for algae oil.

Platinum Dissolution in Realistic Fuel Cell Catalyst Layers.

Project description:Pt dissolution has already been intensively studied in aqueous model systems and many mechanistic insights have been gained. Nevertheless, transfer of new knowledge to real-world fuel cell systems is still a significant challenge. To close this gap, we present a novel in situ method combining a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) half-cell with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). With this setup, Pt dissolution in realistic catalyst layers and the transport of dissolved Pt species through Nafion membranes were evaluated directly. We observed that 1) specific Pt dissolution increased significantly with decreasing Pt loading, 2) in comparison to experiments on aqueous model systems with flow cells, the measured dissolution in GDE experiments was considerably lower, and 3) by adding a membrane onto the catalyst layer, Pt dissolution was reduced even further. All these phenomena are attributed to the varying mass transport conditions of dissolved Pt species, influencing re-deposition and equilibrium potential.

Oxidative dissolution of Cr-doped UO2 nuclear fuel

Project description:Alternative UO2 nuclear fuels, incorporating Cr as a dopant, are currently in use in light–water reactors. Dissolution experiments using Cr-doped UO2, performed as a function of Cr content in a simplified groundwater solution and under oxic conditions, established that the addition of Cr to the UO2 matrix systematically reduced the normalised dissolution rate of U at 25 and 40 °C. This effect was most notable under dilute solution conditions, and is the result of galvanic coupling between Cr and U, resulting from the presence of Cr2+ in the UO2 matrix, as corroborated by activation energy determination. Under conditions of solution saturation, where schoepite ((UO2)8O2(OH)12·(H2O)12) and Na2U2O7·6H2O were identified as secondary phases, the rate of U dissolution was invariant with Cr content. Moreover, at 60 °C, the trend was reversed and the rate of U dissolution increased with increasing Cr content. Under these conditions, other factors, including U solubility or bicarbonate-surface interactions, exert a stronger influence on the U dissolution kinetics than Cr. Increased grain size, a feature of Cr-doped UO2 fuel, was also found to reduce the normalised dissolution rate of U. In establishing the mechanisms by which Cr dopants influence UO2 fuel dissolution, it can be concluded that, overall, Cr-doped UO2 nuclear fuel possesses similar dissolution kinetics to undoped UO2 fuel, giving confidence for its eventual disposal in a geological facility.

Investigation of cellulose dissolution in morpholinium-based solvents: impact of solvent structural features on cellulose dissolution.

Project description:A series of N-methylmorpholinium salts with varying N-alkyl chains and Cl-, OAc- and OH- as counter ions have been synthesized and investigated for their ability to dissolve cellulose, aiming at elucidating solvent structural features affecting cellulose dissolution. Synthesis procedures have been developed to, to a high extent, rely on conversions in water and microwave-assisted reactions employing a reduced number of work-up steps and ion-exchange resins that can be regenerated. Water solutions of morpholinium hydroxides proved capable of dissolving cellulose, with those of them possessing alkyl chains longer than ethyl showing surprising dissolution ability at room-temperature. Morpholinium acetates behaved as ionic liquids, and were also capable of dissolving cellulose when combined with DMSO. The obtained cellulose solutions were characterized according to their chemical and colloidal stability using 13C NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography and flow sweep measurements, while the ethanol coagulates were investigated in terms of crystallinity using solid state NMR. In contrast, the morpholinium chlorides obtained were hygroscopic with high melting points and low solubility in common organic solvents e.g., acetone, DMSO and DMAc, thus lacking the ability to swell or dissolve cellulose.

Quantitative proteomics analysis of proteins involved in alkane uptake comparing the profiling of Pseudomonas aeruginosa SJTD-1 in response to n-octadecane and n-hexadecane.

Project description:While many data are available on genes encoding proteins for degradation of hydrocarbons in bacteria, the impact of alkane on transporter protein expression is unclear. Pseudomonas aeruginosa SJTD-1 is a strain that can consume medium- and long-chain n-alkanes. In order to study the proteins involved in n-octadecane uptake, we use iTRAQ and label free comparative proteomics analysis to identify the proteins of alkane uptake in response to n-octadecane (C18) comparing with n-hexadecane (C16) in P. aeruginosa SJTD-1. A total of 1102 and 1249 proteins were identified by iTRAQ-based and label free quantitative methodologies, respectively. By application of 1.5 (iTRAQ) or 2-fold (label free) for upregulated and 0.65 (iTRAQ) or 0.5-fold (label free) for downregulated cutoff values, 91 and 99 proteins were found to be differentially expressed comparing SJTD-1 cultivated on C18 with C16 respectively. There are six proteins with the common differential expression by iTRAQ and label free-based methods. Results of bioinformational analysis suggested the involvement of bacterial chemotaxis in responds to C18. Additionally, quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) results confirmed C18-induced change in levels of FleQ, FliC, NirS, FadL and FadD proteins and the role of the proteins in n-octadecane uptake was further discussed in P. aeruginosa. In conclusion, results of the present study provided information about possible target-related proteins of bacterial chemotaxis, swimming performance, alkane transport to stimulus of n-ctadecane rather than n-hexadecane in P. aeruginosa SJTD-1.

Morphology Modulation of Ionic Surfactant Micelles in Ternary Deep Eutectic Solvents.

Project description:Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are potentially greener solvents obtained through the complexation of simple precursors which, among other applications, have been investigated in recent years for their ability to support the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules. It is crucial to understand the factors which influence surfactant solubility and self-assembly with respect to the interaction of the surfactant molecule with the DES components. In this work, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) has been used to investigate the micellization of cationic (CnTAB) and anionic (SDS) surfactants in a ternary DES comprising choline chloride, urea, and glycerol, where the hydrogen bond donors are mixed in varying molar ratios. The results show that in each case either globular or rodlike micelles are formed with the degree of elongation being directly dependent on the composition of the DES. It is hypothesized that this composition dependence arises largely from the poor solubility of the counterions in the DES, especially at low glycerol content, leading to a tighter binding of the counterion to the micelle surface and giving rise to micelles with a high aspect ratio. This potential for accurate control over micelle morphology presents unique opportunities for rheology control or to develop templated syntheses of porous materials in DES, utilizing the solvent composition to tailor micelle shape and size, and hence the pore structure of the resulting material.

Advancement toward Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells at Elevated Temperatures.

Project description:Elevation of operational temperatures of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) has been demonstrated with phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole (PA/PBI) membranes. The technical perspective of the technology is simplified construction and operation with possible integration with, e.g., methanol reformers. Toward this target, significant efforts have been made to develop acid-base polymer membranes, inorganic proton conductors, and organic-inorganic composite materials. This report is devoted to updating the recent progress of the development particularly of acid-doped PBI, phosphate-based solid inorganic proton conductors, and their composite electrolytes. Long-term stability of PBI membranes has been well documented, however, at typical temperatures of 160°C. Inorganic proton-conducting materials, e.g., alkali metal dihydrogen phosphates, heteropolyacids, tetravalent metal pyrophosphates, and phosphosilicates, exhibit significant proton conductivity at temperatures of up to 300°C but have so far found limited applications in the form of thin films. Composite membranes of PBI and phosphates, particularly in situ formed phosphosilicates in the polymer matrix, showed exceptionally stable conductivity at temperatures well above 200°C. Fuel cell tests at up to 260°C are reported operational with good tolerance of up to 16% CO in hydrogen, fast kinetics for direct methanol oxidation, and feasibility of nonprecious metal catalysts. The prospect and future exploration of new proton conductors based on phosphate immobilization and fuel cell technologies at temperatures above 200°C are discussed.
