Separation of Heavy Water in Phase Equilibria Involving Pure Water or Salt-Water Systems.

Phase Equilibria for Systems Containing Hydrocarbons, Water, and Salt: An Extended Peng-Robinson Equation of State

The empirical success of the Peng-Robinson equation of state (PREOS) is unmatched; there is no other simple equation of state of the van der Waals form that has shown such wide and reliable applicability to the calculation of vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) for systems containing light hydrocarbons, permanent gases, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. PREOS is one of the great success stories o...

Layering Behavior and Axial Phase Equilibria of Pure Water and Water + Carbon Dioxide Inside Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes

We have studied the phase equilibrium and layering behavior of the liquid phase in water and water + CO2 systems inside single wall carbon nanotubes. The system containing pure water was examined at temperatures between 274 and 500 K. At low temperatures and close to the wall of the nanotube, the formation of layers enclosing the liquid phase was observed. Upon addition of CO2, gas−liquid equil...

Experimental Study of Phase Inversion in n-Butylacetate-Water, Kerosene-Water, and n-Heptane-Water Systems in a Rotating Disc Contactor Column

Phase Equilibria for Binary Systems Containing Ionic Liquid with Water or Hydrocarbons

In this work, the mutual solubilities of sets of ionic liquids ([CnMIM] [TF2N] (n = 4, 8, 12), [C4PY] [TF2N], [C8MIM] [OTF]) and organic compounds (heptane, o-xylene, toluene, or water) are investigated. The experimental data measured for these systems were used to adjust the binary interaction parameters between their components for the Non-Random Two Liquid (NRTL) model. The results showed th...

Survival of tumor-bearing mice exposed to heavy water or heavy water plus methotrexate.

Moderate body deuteration combined with a cytostatic drug [methotrexate (MTX)] significantly increases the survival time of young adult DBA/2 mice bearing transplantable P815. L5178Y, or L1210 tumors. Neoplastic cells were grown in vitro from tumor stock and injected i.p. into mice from two groups, one drinking tap water, and other drinking 30% heavy water in tap water. One-half of the animals ...
