Recently an improved long-range model for electrolyte solutions was developed that is applicable from infinite dilution to pure salt. This paper tests this claim the first time applying it calculation of liquid-liquid equilibria mixtures different ionic liquids (ILs) and water. The conventional Pitzer-Debye-Hückel (PDH) equation compared two its new, thermodynamically consistent extensions. Bot...

Radionuclides are inorganic substances, and the solubility of substances is a major factor affecting disposal radioactive waste release concentrations radionuclides. The degree determines whether nuclide source migrates to far field site. Therefore, most effective method for retarding radionuclide migration reduce in aqueous geochemical environment subsurface systems. In order assess performanc...

The Debye equation for polymer coils describes scattering from a polymer chain that displays Gaussian statistics. Such a chain is a mass fractal of dimension 2 as evidenced by a power-law decay o f 2 in the scattering at intermediate q. At low q, near q ~_ 2rc/Rg, the Debye equation describes an exponential decay. For polymer chains that are swollen or slightly collapsed, such as is due to good...

The sequestering ability of polyamines and aminoacids of biological and environmental relevance (namely, ethylenediamine, putrescine, spermine, a polyallylamine, a branched polyethyleneimine, aspartate, glycinate, lysinate) toward dimethyltin(IV) cation was evaluated. The stability of various dimethyltin(IV) / ligand species was determined in NaCl(aq) at t = 25 degrees C and at different ionic ...

We have developed a general electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method to measure electrostatic potential at spin labels on proteins to millivolt accuracy. Electrostatic potential is fundamental to energy-transducing proteins like myosin, because molecular energy storage and retrieval is primarily electrostatic. Quantitative analysis of protein electrostatics demands a site-specific spectrosc...

We present a mean-field theory for charged polymer chains in an external electrostatic field in the weak and strong coupling limits. We apply the theory to describe the statistical mechanics of flexible polyelectrolyte chains in a hexagonal columnar lattice of stiff cylindrical macroions, such as DNA, in a bathing solution of a uni-univalent salt (e.g. NaCl). The salt effects are first describe...

Like-charged macromolecules repel in electrolyte solutions that contain small (i.e. point-like) monovalent coand counterions. Yet, if the mobile ions of one species are spatially extended instead of being point-like, the interaction may turn attractive. This effect can be captured within the mean-field Poisson-Boltzmann framework if the charge distribution within the spatially extended ions is ...

This paper summarizes theory, experimental techniques, and the reported data pertaining to the zeta potential of silica and silicon with attention to use as microfluidic substrate materials, particularly for microchip chemical separations. Dependence on cation concentration, buffer and cation type, pH, cation valency, and temperature are discussed. The Debye-Hückel limit, which is often correct...
