Ion specific effects on the mutual solubilities between hydrophobic ionic liquids (ILs) and water are complex and not fully understood. The aim of this work is to obtain further evidence about the molecular mechanism behind this phenomenon by evaluating the effect of a large series of inorganic and organic salts on the mutual solubilities of water and the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliu...

Due to scarce available experimental data, as well as due to the absence of predictive models, the influence of salts on the solubility of ionic liquids (ILs) in water is still poorly understood. To this end, this work addresses the solubility of the IL 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C4C1im][NTf2]), at 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa, in aqueous salt solutions (from 0.1 to...

Hofmeister effects of ions in aqueous solution strongly affect chemical and biological systems. High low charge density anions, such as SO42- SCN- respectively, decrease (salting-out) or increase (salting-in) the solubility organic solutes water. Due to their very charge-density, nanometric e.g. polyoxometalates (POMs), tremendously (highly salting-in) they bind neutral hydrated – a property th...

The highest densities of lakes on Earth are in north temperate ecosystems, where increasing urbanization and associated chloride runoff can salinize freshwaters and threaten lake water quality and the many ecosystem services lakes provide. However, the extent to which lake salinity may be changing at broad spatial scales remains unknown, leading us to first identify spatial patterns and then in...

Simultaneous brine thawing/salting process was applied as an alternative to traditional pile salting process using 51 frozen Iberian hams. The effect of this type of salting process on endogenous enzyme activity and sensory quality of Iberian dry-cured hams was analysed. The frozen hams were simultaneously thawed and salted with saturated brine, with and without vacuum pulses, and were compared...

The paper presents a method of hydrological and hydrophysical studies to observe the propagation cold wave in snow during preparation ski slopes by salting. Salting is used for competitions, especially when average daily air temperature approaching positive levels, day there melting cover, short-term decrease column its partial freezing. experiments were carried out summer 2021 2022 on Dzhanqua...

DNA from archival Papanicolaou stained and unstained cytological smears was successfully isolated using a simple, rapid and inexpensive salting-out procedure. The quality of DNA was controlled by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of segments of the human P-globin, human P-actin and human papillomavirus LI genes. Only negligible differences in amplification efficiency were observed b...

1. As an introduction to the relations that obtain in biochemical systems containing several components, some ionic, some dipolar ionic, the solubility of cystine has been investigated in the presence of glycine and neutral salts. 2. Both glycine and sodium chloride increase cystine solubility at all concentrations. The interaction between cystine and ions is, however, diminished with increase ...

The European Food Safety Authority stated that many traditional marinating and cold smoking methods are not sufficient to kill A. simplex and asked to evaluate alternative treatments for killing viable parasites in fishery. Baccalà is a well-liked traditional product. The aim of study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the salting process on the inactivation of nematodes of the genus Anisakis...
