the simplified perturbed chain statistical associating fluid theory (spc-saft) equation of state (eos) was proposed to describe the thermodynamic properties of pure ionic liquids (ils). a set of spc-saft parameters for 2 ils was obtained by fitting the experimental liquid densities data over a wide range of temperature at atmospheric pressure. good agreement with experimental density data was o...

The use of block copolymer (BCP) nonionic surfactant mixtures (including Pluronic, Brij and Tetronic types) as templates for synthesizing porous silica materials of mixed pore sizes is explored here. These systems have important applications because combinations of pore sizes can allow rapid access of reactants (via large pores) whilst providing the very high surface area of small pores for hig...

A wide range of homogeneous elastomeric membranes has been prepared using dicumylperoxide as a general cross-linking agent. The membranes have been used for both equilibrium sorption measurements and steady-state pervaporation experiments to study solution-diffusion phenomena in the removal of volatile organic components from aqueous solutions. Pervaporation experiments have been performed unde...

A set of physicochemical properties describing a protein of known structure is employed for a calibrative approach to protein solubility. Common hydrodynamic and electrophoretic properties routinely measured in the bio-analytical laboratory such as zeta potential, dipole moment, the second osmotic virial coefficient are first estimated in silico as a function a pH and solution ionic strength st...

A semi-empirical model is developed for the regression of solid-liquid solubility data with temperature. The model fulfils the required boundary conditions, allowing for robust extrapolation to higher and lower temperatures. The model combines a representation of the solid-state activity which accommodates a temperature-dependent heat capacity difference contribution with a scaled three-paramet...

The solubility of lignin from bagasse in a 1,4-butanediol/water mixed solution was investigated and explained by the solubility parameter (δvalue). To explore the lignin solubility, enzymatic hydrolysis/mild acidolysis lignin (EMAL) isolated from bagasse was used as the starting material to prepare lignin solution by ultrasonic treatment. The lignin content in solution was determined by UV-vis ...

INTRODUCTION Solubility is one of the important parameter to achieve desired concentration of drug in systemic circulation for pharmacological response. Poor aqueous solubility of lipophilic drugs creates problems in formulation as well as in oral administration. Various approaches have been developed to resolve poor aqueous solubility of lipophilic drugs. As oral route for drug administration ...
