Diffusion coupling in multiply associating electrolyte solutions

Protein diffusion in crowded electrolyte solutions.

We report on a combined cold neutron backscattering and spin-echo study of the short-range and long-range nanosecond diffusion of the model globular protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution as a function of protein concentration and NaCl salt concentration. Complementary small angle X-ray scattering data are used to obtain information on the correlations of the proteins in solutio...

Modeling Self-Diffusion in Mixed-Solvent Electrolyte Solutions

A comprehensive model has been developed for calculating self-diffusion coefficients in mixedsolvent electrolyte solutions. The model includes methods for calculating the self-diffusion coefficients of ions and neutral species at infinite dilution and for predicting the effect of finite concentrations of electrolytes. For limiting diffusivities, a mixing rule has been developed for predicting t...

Ionic self-diffusion in concentrated aqueous electrolyte solutions.

A self-consistent microscopic theory is developed to understand the anomalously weak concentration dependence of ionic self-diffusion coefficient D(ion) in electrolyte solutions. The self-consistent equations are solved by using the mean spherical approximation expressions of the static pair correlation functions for unequal sizes. The results are in excellent agreement both with the known expe...

Modeling phase equilibria and speciation in mixed-solvent electrolyte systems: II. Liquid–liquid equilibria and properties of associating electrolyte solutions

A comprehensive mixed-solvent electrolyte model has been extended to calculate liquid– liquid equilibria in water–organic salt systems. Also, it has been applied to calculate phase equilibria and speciation in strongly associating systems such as sulfuric acid/oleum (H2SO4+SO3+H2O) in the entire concentration range. The model combines an excess Gibbs energy model with detailed speciation calcul...
