Unified pH Measurements of Ethanol, Methanol, and Acetonitrile, and Their Mixtures with Water.

ABSTRACT: Measurement of pH in aqueous-organic mixtures with different compositions is of high importance in science and technology, but it is, at the same time, challenging both from a conceptual and practical standpoint. A big part of the difficulty comes from the fundamental incomparability of conventional pH values between solvents (^spH, solvent-specific scales). The recent introduction of the unified pH (pH_abs) concept opens up the possibility of measuring pH, expressed as pHabsH2O, in a way that is comparable between solvent, and, thereby, removing the conceptual problem. However, practical issues remain. This work presents the experience of the authors with measuring pHabsH2O values in mixtures of methanol, ethanol, and acetonitrile, with water, but without the presence of buffers or other additives. The aim was to assigned pHabsH2O values to solvent-water mixtures using differential potentiometry and the 'pH_abs-ladder' method. Measurements were made of the potential difference between glass electrodes immersed in different solutions, separated by an ionic liquid salt bridge. Data were acquired for a series of solutions of varying solvent content. This work includes experiences related to: a selection of commercial electrodes, purity of starting material, and comparability between laboratories. Ranges of pHabsH2O values for selected compositions of solvent-water mixtures are presented.

Efficient Separation of Ethanol-Methanol and Ethanol-Water Mixtures Using ZIF-8 Supported on a Hierarchical Porous Mixed-Oxide Substrate.

Project description:This work reports a new approach for the synthesis of a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) composite. It employs the direct growth of the crystalline ZIF-8 on a mixed-metal oxide support TiO2-SiO2 (TSO), which mimics the porous structure of Populus nigra. Using the natural leaf as a template, the TSO support was prepared using a sol-gel method. The growth of the ZIF-8 layer on the TSO support was carried out by the seeds and second growth method. This method facilitates the homogeneous dispersion of ZIF-8 crystals at the surface of the TSO composite. The ZIF-8@TSO composite adsorbs methanol selectively, mainly due to the hierarchical porous structure of the mixed oxide support. As compared with the as-synthesized ZIF-8, a 50% methanol uptake is achieved in the ZIF-8@TSO composite, with only 25 wt % ZIF-8 loading. IAST simulations show that the ZIF-8@TSO composite has a preferential adsorption toward methanol when using an equimolar methanol-ethanol mixture. An opposite behavior is observed for the as-synthesized ZIF-8. The results show that combining MOFs and mixed-oxide supports with bioinspired structures opens opportunities for synthesizing new materials with unique and enhanced adsorption and separation properties.

Solubility of Azilsartan in Methanol, Ethanol, Acetonitrile, <i>n</i>-Propanol, Isopropanol, Tetrahydrofuran, and Binary Solvent Mixtures between 293.15 and 333.15 K.

Project description:A precise determination method of azilsartan solubility between 293.15 and 333.15 K in several ordinary solvents and some of their aqueous mixtures was established by high-performance liquid chromatography. In all tested solvents, its solubility shows exponential growth with the increase in temperature. This trend is especially pronounced in methanol and ethanol. The order of solubility of azilsartan can be expressed as ethanol > tetrahydrofuran > ethanol/water (8/2, v/v) > methanol > methanol/water (8/2, v/v) > n-propanol > isopropanol > ethanol/Water (5/5, v/v) > acetonitrile. The solubility data of azilsartan were well correlated by the λh model. Moreover, the thermodynamic data including the dissolving enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy of azilsartan in each solvent were calculated which is crucial to its preparation technology study.

Thermodynamic modeling of binary mixtures of ethylenediamine with water, methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol by association theory.

Project description:Association theories by statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) and cubic plus association (CPA) equation of states (EoS) have effectively handled various thermodynamic purposes thus far; they consider hydrogen bonding effects in associating compounds (those with hydrogen bonds such as water and alcohols) in a proper way. The objective of this work is to thermodynamically undertake the study of ethylenediamine (EDA)-water, EDA-methanol, EDA-ethanol, and EDA-2-propanol binary mixtures in a manner to be useful for designing separation processes by CPA EoS. Accordingly, CPA EoS was applied to model vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) of several practical binary mixtures including EDA-water, EDA-methanol, EDA-ethanol, and EDA-2-propanol. It should be noted that the aforementioned mixtures are being studied by CPA EoS for the first time and necessary details are presented; two different association schemes (different situations for creating hydrogen bonds), 2B and 4C schemes, were considered for EDA. Water and studied alcohols were also modeled by 4C and 2B schemes, respectively. Moreover, the capability of two different combining rules (Elliot and CR-1) was evaluated. The azeotrope point available in the phase diagram of EDA-water system was correctly identified by CPA EoS. Furthermore, the liquid phase density of EDA-water was satisfactorily predicted by CPA EoS. It has also a high level of accuracy in VLE modeling of EDA-methanol, EDA-ethanol, and EDA-2-propanol mixtures. In the end, according to all provided results, it can be said that CPA EoS along with all required parameters obtained in this study is capable of describing thermodynamic behavior of studied mixtures.

Solubility of the Proteinogenic ?-Amino Acids in Water, Ethanol, and Ethanol-Water Mixtures.

Project description:The addition of organic solvents to ?-amino acids in aqueous solution could be an effective method in crystallization. We reviewed the available data on the solubility of ?-amino acids in water, water-ethanol mixtures, and ethanol at 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa. The solubility of l-alanine, l-proline, l-arginine, l-cysteine, and l-lysine in water and ethanol mixtures and the solubility of l-alanine, l-proline, l-arginine, l-cysteine, l-lysine, l-asparagine, l-glutamine, l-histidine, and l-leucine in pure ethanol systems were measured and are published here for the first time. The impact on the solubility of amino acids that can convert in solution, l-glutamic acid and l-cysteine, was studied. At lower concentrations, only the ninhydrin method and the ultraperfomance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method yield reliable results. In the case of ?-amino acids that convert in solution, only the UPLC method was able to discern between the different ?-amino acids and yields reliable results. Our results demonstrate that ?-amino acids with similar physical structures have similar changes in solubility in mixed water/ethanol mixtures. The solubility of l-tryptophan increased at moderate ethanol concentrations.

Selective Adsorption of Water, Methanol, and Ethanol by Naphthalene Diimide-Based Coordination Polymers with Constructed Open Cu<sup>2+</sup> Metal Sites and Separation of Ethanol/Acetonitrile.

Project description:The selective separation of ethanol/acetonitrile by porous materials has rarely been observed owing to their similar physicochemical properties. In this work, we report a new coordination network, [Cu2(4-pmntd)2(opd)2](4-pmntd = N,N'-bis(4-pyridymethy)naphthalene diimide, opd = disodium 1,2-benzenedicarboxylate), which exhibits selective separation of ethanol over acetonitrile. The weak coordination bonds formed by unsaturated Cu2+ sites and hydroxyl groups are the key to such performance.

Thermodynamic modelling of solubility and preferential solvation for ribavirin (II) in co-solvent mixtures of (methanol, n-propanol, acetonitrile or 1,4-dioxane) + water.

Project description:The equilibrium solubility of ribavirin in solvent mixtures of {methanol (1) + water (2)}, {n-propanol (1) + water (2)}, {acetonitrile (1) + water (2)} and {1,4-dioxane (1) + water (2)} was determined experimentally by using isothermal dissolution equilibrium method within the temperature range from (278.15 to 318.15) K under atmospheric pressure (101.1 kPa). At the same temperature and mass fraction of methanol (n-propanol, acetonitrile or 1,4-dioxane), the mole fraction solubility of ribavirin is greater in (methanol + water) than in the other three solvent mixtures. The preferential solvation parameters were derived from their thermodynamic solution properties by means of the inverse Kirkwood-Buff integrals. The preferential solvation parameters for methanol, n-propanol, acetonitrile or 1,4-dioxane (?x 1,3) were negative in the four solvent mixtures with a very wide compositions, which indicated that ribavirin was preferentially solvated by water. Temperature had little effect on the preferential solvation magnitudes. The higher solvation by water could be explained in terms of the higher acidic behaviour of water interacting with the Lewis basic groups of the ribavirin. Besides, the solubility of the drugs was mathematically represented by using the Jouyban-Acree model, van't Hoff-Jouyban-Acree model and Apelblat-Jouyban-Acree model obtaining average relative deviations lower than 1.57% for correlative studies. It is noteworthy that the solubility data presented in this work contribute to expansion of the physicochemical information about the solubility of drugs in binary solvent mixtures and also allows the thermodynamic analysis of the respective dissolution and specific solvation process.

Molecular Dynamics of Lysine Dendrigrafts in Methanol-Water Mixtures.

Project description:The molecular dynamics method was used to study the structure and properties of dendrigrafts of the first and second generations in methanol-water mixtures with various volume fractions of methanol. At a small volume fraction of methanol, the size and other properties of both dendrigrafts are very similar to those in pure water. A decrease in the dielectric constant of the mixed solvent with an increase in the methanol fraction leads to the penetration of counterions into the dendrigrafts and a reduction of the effective charge. This leads to a gradual collapse of dendrigrafts: a decrease in their size, and an increase in the internal density and the number of intramolecular hydrogen bonds inside them. At the same time, the number of solvent molecules inside the dendrigraft and the number of hydrogen bonds between the dendrigraft and the solvent decrease. At small fractions of methanol in the mixture, the dominant secondary structure in both dendrigrafts is an elongated polyproline II (PPII) helix. At intermediate volume fractions of methanol, the proportion of the PPII helix decreases, while the proportion of another elongated β-sheet secondary structure gradually increases. However, at a high fraction of methanol, the proportion of compact α-helix conformations begins to increase, while the proportion of both elongated conformations decreases.

Raman Thermometry in Water, Ethanol, and Ethanol/Nitrogen Mixtures from Ambient to Critical Conditions.

Project description:We present investigations into remote liquid temperature sensing with Raman spectroscopy using different evaluation methods for the OH stretching vibration band. Water, ethanol, and ethanol saturated with nitrogen, all as liquids or liquid-like supercritical fluids, are pumped through a heated microcapillary system at elevated pressures. Raman spectra are recorded from the liquid inside the microcapillary and are evaluated with respect to the temperature sensitivity of the OH stretching vibration. The four approaches applied are (i) to evaluate the center position of the Raman OH-band, (ii) the integrated absolute difference spectrum, (iii) the intensity ratio of two regions of the OH-band, and (iv) the intensity ratio of two fitted Gaussian peaks. The temperature range investigated covers from ambient temperature to the component's respective boiling temperature or critical temperature at sub- and supercritical pressures. Precision and robustness of the employed methods are characterized. It is shown that two out of the four methods feature temperature deviations smaller than 5 K at all pressures and that one method can also be applied to liquid mixtures of ethanol and nitrogen. Applicability to other liquids and mixtures is discussed.

Unveiling Carbon Dioxide and Ethanol Diffusion in Carbonated Water-Ethanol Mixtures by Molecular Dynamics Simulations.

Project description:The diffusion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol (EtOH) is a fundamental transport process behind the formation and growth of CO2 bubbles in sparkling beverages and the release of organoleptic compounds at the liquid free surface. In the present study, CO2 and EtOH diffusion coefficients are computed from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and compared with experimental values derived from the Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation on the basis of viscometry experiments and hydrodynamic radii deduced from former nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. These diffusion coefficients steadily increase with temperature and decrease as the concentration of ethanol rises. The agreement between theory and experiment is suitable for CO2. Theoretical EtOH diffusion coefficients tend to overestimate slightly experimental values, although the agreement can be improved by changing the hydrodynamic radius used to evaluate experimental diffusion coefficients. This apparent disagreement should not rely on limitations of the MD simulations nor on the approximations made to evaluate theoretical diffusion coefficients. Improvement of the molecular models, as well as additional NMR measurements on sparkling beverages at several temperatures and ethanol concentrations, would help solve this issue.

Shaking-Induced Aggregation and Flotation in Immunoglobulin Dispersions: Differences between Water and Water-Ethanol Mixtures.

Project description:Structural characterization by three complementary methods of laser diagnostics (dynamic light scattering, laser phase microscopy, and laser polarimetric scatterometry) has established that shaking of immunoglobulin G (IgG) dispersions in water and ethanol-water mixtures (36.7 vol %) results in two effects. First, it intensifies the aggregation of IgG macromolecules. Second, it generates bubbles with a size range that is different in each solvent. The aggregation is enhanced in ethanol-water mixtures because of IgG denaturation. IgG aggregates have a size of ?300 nm in water and ?900 nm in ethanol-water mixtures. The flotation of IgG is much more efficient in water. This can be explained by a better adsorption of IgG particles (molecules and aggregates) on bubbles in water as compared to ethanol-water mixtures. Bulk nanobubbles and their association with IgG aggregates were visualized by laser phase microscopy in water but were not detected in ethanol-water mixtures. Therefore, the nanobubble flotation mechanism for IgG aggregates acting in water is not feasible for ethanol-water mixtures.
