Britain Phase Separation in an Aqueous Quaternary System BY ELIZABETH EDMOND
نویسنده
چکیده
(1) We have measured the incompatible phase separation that occurs in a polyethylene glycol-sodium dextran sulphate-sodium chloride-water system and have determined a critical point. (2) We have measured the activity coefficients of sodium chloride in critical-point concentrations of polyethylene glycol and sodium dextran sulphate respectively, and the osmotic coefficient of sodium dextran sulphate at the critical-point concentration. (3) With use of the relevant thermodynamic equations for a quaternary ionic system, we have determined the interaction coefficients between polyethylene glycol and dextran sulphate and between polyethylene glycol and sodium chloride. The former could be due mainly to volume exclusion, but the latter is too large to be explained on that basis.

Separation of methacrylic acid from aqueous phase using quaternary amine
The feasibility of extractive reaction of methacrylic acid from aqueous solution using a quaternary amine, tri–octyl methyl ammonium chloride (TOMAC) as an extractant, was studied. The diluents chosen in the present work belong to different chemical classes, n–butyl acetate, carbon tetrachloride, isoamyl alcohol, methyl isobutyl ketone, and toluene. The effect of initial acid concentration in t...
متن کاملEffect of Polyethylene Glycols Dissolved in Aqueous Phase on the Extraction-Separation of La(III), Eu(III) and Er(III) Ions with Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric Acid
The present work concerns on the investigation of the role of polyethylene glycols (PEGs) as masking agent for amelioration of extraction-separation of La(III), Eu(III) and Er(III) ions by the acidic extractant bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (DEHPA). The studied solvent extraction system is based on the combination of chelating effect of DEHPA in the organic phase on the one hand, and the bin...
متن کاملThe Role of Polyethylene Glycols Dissolved in Aqueous Phase on the Extraction-Separation of Zn(II) and Pb(II) by Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric Acid
The presented study describes the solvent extraction process of Zn(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solutions by a cation exchanger extractant named bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (DEHPA). The results confirm that both of the extraction efficiency and extraction selectivity depend on the employed organic diluent. The applied extractant was selective towards zinc ions; this selectivity did not depe...
متن کاملThe Effect of pH on the Liquid-liquid Equilibrium for a System Containing Polyethylene Glycol Di-methyl Ether and Tri-potassium Citrate and its Application for Acetaminophen Separation
In this work liquid-liquid equilibrium for aqueous two phase system composed of polyethylene glycol di-methyl ether and tri-potassium citrate at different medium pH values (6.00, 7.00 and 8.00) and 298.15 K was studied. The obtained results show that two phase area expanded with an increasing of pH values. The performances of the Merchuk and semi-empirical equations were tested in correlating t...
متن کاملSeparation of Formic Acid from Aqueous Solutions by Liquid Extraction Technique at Different Temperatures
In this study, the separation of formic acid from aqueous solutions was investigated. Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data including tie-lines was reported for water + formic acid + 2-methylpropyl ethanoate ternary mixture at (293.15 to 323.15) K and atmospheric pressure. The system shows type-I phase behavior based on Treybal’s classification because only one partially miscible binary mixture ...
