Observation of mesoscopic clathrate structures in ethanol-water mixtures

نویسندگان

چکیده

Alcohol in water is one of the fundamental liquid–liquid solutions chemical and biological processes. Water-alcohol mixtures exhibit many abnormal physicochemical properties, origins which remain mysterious. In addition, presence a high concentration mesoscale objects such has caused debate; researchers attribute these to bulk nanobubbles because their strongly affected by amount dissolved air gases. To resolve issues, here we use transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), atomic force (AFM) study ethanol–water mixtures. TEM reveals mesoscopic clathrate structures with molecules forming crystalline matrix hosting density tiny cells. The further supported refractive index 1.27 ± 0.02 at 405 nm measured via NTA hydrophilic nature implied AFM observations, explaining long-standing puzzles related water-alcohol

Electrospray Onset Study of Water-Ethanol Mixtures

The electrospray ionization (ESI) method is widely used in the analysis of biological molecules. The stable cone regime spray is usually obtained by the addition to the electrosprayed dipolar fluid of methanol or ethanol with the role of reducing the fluid surface tension. We investigate the spray onset voltages of water-ethanol mixtures of various concentrations starting from distilled water t...

Preferential Solvation of Fenofibrate in (Ethanol or Acetone) + Water Mixtures at 298.15 K

The aim of this communication was to expand the results of numerical analyses performed by Sun et al. on their experimental solubility of fenofibrate in aqueous mixtures of ethanol and acetone at 298.15 K, in terms of the evaluation of the preferential solvation of this compound by the organic solvents and water in the saturated mixtures based on the inverse Kirkwood-Buff integrals (IKBI). ...

Solubility of the Proteinogenic α-Amino Acids in Water, Ethanol, and Ethanol–Water Mixtures

The addition of organic solvents to α-amino acids in aqueous solution could be an effective method in crystallization. We reviewed the available data on the solubility of α-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...

The Peak Boiling Heat Flux in Saturated Ethanol-Water Mixtures

The present work provides original measurements of the burnout heat flux in saturated ethanol-water mixtures, over the full range of concentrations. These data were obtained at atmospheric pressure on horizontal cylinders, ranging from 0.51 to 2.16 mm in diameter. They reveal significant improvements of the peak heat flux for mixtures, over that which would be expected from pure fluids with the...
