Abstract The transport of oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrocarbons C 1 –C 4 in polyimides based on 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) biphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BPDA) diethyl toluene diamine (DETDA) has been studied. dependences the diffusion coefficient diffusant effective diameter solubility coefficients Lennard–Jones potential pair interaction have...

The use of carbon dioxide for neutralising pulp mill black liquor residuals and controlling paper machine stock pH has increased dramatically over the past decade. It is replacing, or supplementing, alum and sulfuric acid as the chemical of choice because it does not add any metal or sulfate ions to the water system; an important consideration with the trend to closed loop water systems in pape...

This paper proposes an improvement on the recently introduced Henry Gas Solubility Optimization (HGSO) metaheuristic algorithm that simulates Henry’s gas law (i.e., concentration of a sample in liquid solvent is proportional to phase). As improvement, we apply quantum theory instead standard procedure used HSGO for updating solutions. The proposed named as Quantum HGSO (QHGSO) this paper. sugge...

solubility of hydrocarbons in water is important due to ecological concerns and new restrictions on the existence of organic pollutants in water streams. also, the creation of a thermodynamic model has required an advanced study of the phase equilibrium between water (as a basis for the widest spread muds and amines) and gas hydrocarbon phases in wide temperature and pressure ranges. therefore,...

This study compared magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate with respect to in vitro solubility and in vivo gastrointestinal absorbability. The solubility of 25 mmol magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide was examined in vitro in solutions containing varying amounts of hydrochloric acid (0-24.2 mEq) in 300 ml distilled water intended to mimic achlorhydric to peak acid secretory states. Magnesium o...

During tertiary miscible gas injection direct contact between gas and oil can be prevented by water surrounding residual oil. The principal aim of our study is to assess the importance of this waterblocking phenomenon in multicomponent gas injection. We study this process using a multicomponent porescale model. Light components in the gas dissolve in the water and diffuse through the water to r...

Five Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) film samples were analyzed to study the gas barrier behavior, thermal stability and mechanical performance for food packaging application. O₂, CO₂, N₂, N₂O, and C₂H₄ pure gases; Air; and Modified Atmosphere (MA, 79% N₂O/21% O₂) were used to analyze the influence of the chemical structure, storage temperature and crystalline phase on the gas barrier behavior. The kin...

Proteins are commonly fused to Escherichia coli maltose-binding protein (MBP) to enhance their yield and facilitate their purification. In addition, the stability and solubility of a passenger protein can often be improved by fusing it to MBP. In a previous comparison with two other highly soluble fusion partners, MBP was decidedly superior at promoting the solubility of a range of aggregation-...
