Exploring the thermodynamic criteria for responsive adsorption processes.

ABSTRACT: We describe a general model to explore responsive adsorption processes in flexible porous materials. This model combines mean field formalism of the osmotic potential, classical density functional theory of adsorption in slit pore models and generic potential functions which represent the Helmholtz free energy landscape of a porous system. Using this model, we focus on recreating flexible adsorption phenomena observed in prototypical metal-organic frameworks, especially the recently discovered effect of negative gas adsorption (NGA). We identify the key characteristics required for the model to generate unusual adsorption processes and subsequently employ an extensive parametric study to outline conditions under which gate-opening and NGA are observed. This powerful approach will guide the design of responsive porous materials and the discovery of entirely new adsorption processes.

Thermodynamic Analysis of Trisiloxane Surfactant Adsorption and Aggregation Processes.

Project description:The trisiloxane polyether surfactant (3-[3-(hydroxy)(polyethoxy)propyl]-1,1,1,3,5,5,5 -heptamethyltrisiloxane) (TS-EO12) was successfully synthesized by a hydrosilylation reaction in the presence of Karstedt catalyst. The structural analysis of the surfactant was done by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 29Si-NMR and FT-IR analysis. In addition the thermal stability of TS-EO12 was studied by the thermogravimetric measurements. On the one hand the surface properties of TS-EO12 at the water-air interface were investigated by surfactant aqueous solutions surface tension measurements carried out at 293 K, 303 K and 313 K, and on the other the aggregation properties were analyzed based on the solubilization properties of TS-EO12 aggregates at different temperatures. On the basis of the obtained thermodynamic parameters of adsorption and micellization of studied surfactant the temperature impact on its surface and volume properties were deduced. It was proved that the tendency of the studied surfactant molecules to adsorb at the water-air interface and to form micelles weakens with decreasing temperature. It was also concluded that the structure of the adsorption layer changes with temperature. Optical microscopy measurements were used for the TS-EO12 micelle morphology determination.

Charting the Complete Thermodynamic Landscape of Gas Adsorption for a Responsive Metal-Organic Framework.

Project description:New nanoporous materials have the ability to revolutionize adsorption and separation processes. In particular, materials with adaptive cavities have high selectivity and may display previously undiscovered phenomena, such as negative gas adsorption (NGA), in which gas is released from the framework upon an increase in pressure. Although the thermodynamic driving force behind this and many other counterintuitive adsorption phenomena have been thoroughly investigated in recent years, several experimental observations remain difficult to explain. This necessitates a comprehensive analysis of gas adsorption akin to the conformational free energy landscapes used to understand the function of proteins. We have constructed the complete thermodynamic landscape of methane adsorption on DUT-49. Traversing this complex landscape reproduces the experimentally observed structural transitions, temperature dependence, and the hysteresis between adsorption and desorption. The complete thermodynamic description presented here provides unparalleled insight into adsorption and provides a framework to understand other adsorbents that challenge our preconceptions.

Thermodynamic data of phenol adsorption on chemically modified activated carbons.

Project description:The presence of phenol in water bodies exists due to the discharge of wastewater from industrial, agricultural and domestic activities. Its presence in water is associated with a decrease in the quality of drinking water because its change the taste and odour [1]. The adsorption process is one of the most used treatments to remove the phenol of waters and the activated carbon is an appropriate adsorbent due to its high surface area, porosity and low cost. The studies about the adsorption process are addressed by different views of point such as equilibrium and thermodynamic data. In this work, the adsorption isotherms of phenol on five activated carbons with different physicochemical properties in aqueous solution are presented. In addition, the immersion enthalpies, the interaction enthalpies, the Gibbs energy and the entropy changes are included. The isotherms data are adjusted to the Freundlich and Sips models. The immersion enthalpy values are between -7.670 and -57.0 J g-1, the interaction enthalpies are between 48.00 and -11.70 J g-1, the Gibbs energy change are between -5337 and -12322 J mol-1 K-1 and finally, the entropy change values are between 18.10 and 39.70 J K-1.

Thermodynamic insight into stimuli-responsive behaviour of soft porous crystals.

Project description:Knowledge of the thermodynamic potential in terms of the independent variables allows to characterize the macroscopic state of the system. However, in practice, it is difficult to access this potential experimentally due to irreversible transitions that occur between equilibrium states. A showcase example of sudden transitions between (meta)stable equilibrium states is observed for soft porous crystals possessing a network with long-range structural order, which can transform between various states upon external stimuli such as pressure, temperature and guest adsorption. Such phase transformations are typically characterized by large volume changes and may be followed experimentally by monitoring the volume change in terms of certain external triggers. Herein, we present a generalized thermodynamic approach to construct the underlying Helmholtz free energy as a function of the state variables that governs the observed behaviour based on microscopic simulations. This concept allows a unique identification of the conditions under which a material becomes flexible.

Thermodynamic study of the adsorption of acridinium derivatives on the clay surface.

Project description:In this study, the adsorption behavior of mono-cationic acridinium derivatives on a synthetic clay mineral (Sumecton SA) was investigated. The acridinium derivatives were adsorbed on the clay surface without aggregation, as found from the changes in the absorption spectra of the acridinium derivatives with SSA and without SSA represented by two-component equilibrium systems of adsorbed and non-adsorbed components. Following the Langmuir isotherm analysis, the adsorption equilibrium constants and maximum adsorption amounts were determined for acridinium derivatives, and the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) was calculated to be in the range of -33.8 to 40.0 kJ mol-1 from the adsorption equilibrium constants. These results indicated that the adsorption of acridinium derivatives on the clay surface was an exergonic reaction. Moreover, thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) were obtained from the temperature effect experiments. For all acridinium derivatives, ΔH (from -7.82 to -26.0 kJ mol-1) and ΔS (0.047-0.088 kJ mol-1 K-1) were found to be negative and positive, respectively. It was suggested that not only electrostatic interactions, but also van der Waals forces and hydrophobic interactions played an important role in the adsorption of cationic aromatic molecules on the clay surface. Because these thermodynamic parameters showed a strong correlation with the molecular cross-sectional area of acridinium derivatives, it was suggested that the contribution of hydrophobic interactions became smaller as the molecular cross-sectional area became larger.

Liquid-Phase Effects on Adsorption Processes in Heterogeneous Catalysis.

Project description:Aqueous solvation free energies of adsorption have recently been measured for phenol adsorption on Pt(111). Endergonic solvent effects of ∼1 eV suggest solvents dramatically influence a metal catalyst's activity with significant implications for the catalyst design. However, measurements are indirect and involve adsorption isotherm models, which potentially reduces the reliability of the extracted energy values. Computational, implicit solvation models predict exergonic solvation effects for phenol adsorption, failing to agree with measurements even qualitatively. In this study, an explicit, hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical approach for computing solvation free energies of adsorption is developed, solvation free energies of phenol adsorption are computed, and experimental data for solvation free energies of phenol adsorption are reanalyzed using multiple adsorption isotherm models. Explicit solvation calculations predict an endergonic solvation free energy for phenol adsorption that agrees well with measurements to within the experimental and force field uncertainties. Computed adsorption free energies of solvation of carbon monoxide, ethylene glycol, benzene, and phenol over the (111) facet of Pt and Cu suggest that liquid water destabilizes all adsorbed species, with the largest impact on the largest adsorbates.

Independent active and thermodynamic processes govern the nucleolus assembly in vivo.

Project description:Membraneless organelles play a central role in the organization of protoplasm by concentrating macromolecules, which allows efficient cellular processes. Recent studies have shown that, in vitro, certain components in such organelles can assemble through phase separation. Inside the cell, however, such organelles are multicomponent, with numerous intermolecular interactions that can potentially affect the demixing properties of individual components. In addition, the organelles themselves are inherently active, and it is not clear how the active, energy-consuming processes that occur constantly within such organelles affect the phase separation behavior of the constituent macromolecules. Here, we examine the phase separation model for the formation of membraneless organelles in vivo by assessing the two features that collectively distinguish it from active assembly, namely temperature dependence and reversibility. We use a microfluidic device that allows accurate and rapid manipulation of temperature and examine the quantitative dynamics by which six different nucleolar proteins assemble into the nucleoli of Drosophila melanogaster embryos. Our results indicate that, although phase separation is the main mode of recruitment for four of the studied proteins, the assembly of the other two is irreversible and enhanced at higher temperatures, behaviors indicative of active recruitment to the nucleolus. These two subsets of components differ in their requirements for ribosomal DNA; the two actively assembling components fail to assemble in the absence of ribosomal DNA, whereas the thermodynamically driven components assemble but lose temporal and spatial precision.

Thermodynamic calculations for biochemical transport and reaction processes in metabolic networks.

Project description:Thermodynamic analysis of metabolic networks has recently generated increasing interest for its ability to add constraints on metabolic network operation, and to combine metabolic fluxes and metabolite measurements in a mechanistic manner. Concepts for the calculation of the change in Gibbs energy of biochemical reactions have long been established. However, a concept for incorporation of cross-membrane transport in these calculations is still missing, although the theory for calculating thermodynamic properties of transport processes is long known. Here, we have developed two equivalent equations to calculate the change in Gibbs energy of combined transport and reaction processes based on two different ways of treating biochemical thermodynamics. We illustrate the need for these equations by showing that in some cases there is a significant difference between the proposed correct calculation and using an approximative method. With the developed equations, thermodynamic analysis of metabolic networks spanning over multiple physical compartments can now be correctly described.

Spectroscopic and Thermodynamic Study of Biopolymer Adsorption Phenomena in Heterogeneous Solid-Liquid Systems.

Project description:Molecular selective adsorption processes at the solid surface of biopolymers in mixed solvent systems are poorly understood due to manifold interactions. However, the ability to achieve adsorptive fractionation of liquid mixtures is posited to relate to the role of specific solid-liquid interactions at the adsorbent interface. The hydration of solid biopolymers (amylose, amylopectin, cellulose) in binary aqueous systems is partly governed by the relative solvent binding affinities with the biopolymer surface sites, in accordance with the role of textural and surface chemical properties. While molecular models that account for the surface area and solvent effects provide reliable estimates of hydration energy and binding affinity parameters, spectroscopic and thermal methods offer a facile alternative experimental approach to account for detailed aspects of solvation phenomena at biopolymer interfaces that involve solid-liquid adsorption. In this report, thermal and spectroscopic methods were used to understand the interaction of starch- and cellulose-based materials in water-ethanol (W-E) binary mixtures. Batch adsorption studies in binary W-E mixtures reveal the selective solvent uptake properties by the biomaterials, in agreement with their solvent swelling in pure water or ethanol. The nature, stability of the bound water, and the thermodynamic properties of the biopolymers in variable hydration states were probed via differential scanning calorimetry and Raman spectroscopy. The trends in biopolymer-solvent interactions are corroborated by dye adsorption and scanning electron microscopy, indicating that biopolymer adsorption properties in W-E mixtures strongly depend on the surface area, pore structure, and accessibility of the polar surface groups of the biopolymer systems, in agreement with the solvent-selective uptake results reported herein.
