Surface-enhanced Raman scattering has been proven a powerful means in the fast detection and recognition of chemicals at trace levels, while quantitative analysis especially the compositional analysis of trace chemical mixtures remains a challenge. We report here a "triangle-rule" based on the principal component analysis (PCA) of surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectra, to calculate the comp...

People are often able to reliably detect a mixture of 2 or more odorants, even if they cannot reliably detect the individual mixture components when presented individually. This phenomenon has been called mixture agonism. However, for some mixtures, agonism among mixture components is greater in barely detectable mixtures than in more easily detectable mixtures (level dependence). Most studies ...

wax precipitate is one of the most serious issues the oil industry is currently facing, since it can cause some troubles such as increasing of the pressure losses in pipe which subsequently increases the required power for pumpage. to remove this problem, prediction of wax disappearance temperature (wdt) seems necessary. in this study, the pressure influence on the wax disappearance temperature...

The solubility of sodium acetate in ternary solvent mixtures of water + methanol (MeOH) + acetonitrile (ACN), water + MeOH + 1-propanol (PrOH), water + PrOH + ACN, and MeOH + PrOH + ACN at 298.2 K is reported and mathematically represented using two numerical analyses (based on measured solubility data in 54 ternary mixtures containing the particular solvents in the mass fraction ranges between...

In this work, we determined thermophysical properties such as electrical conductivity and refractive index for 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [PrMIm]Br in ternary mixtures of [PrMIm]Br + ethylene carbonate + water at T = (298.2, 308.2 and 318.2) K and 0.1MPa. Conductometric measurements were carried out for [PrMIm]Br ionic liquid in ethylene carbonate + water solvent mixture in various c...

Density functional theory is applied to the study of gas-to-liquid nucleation in binary and ternary mixtures with one amphiphilic component. The theory allows the evaluation of density profiles and molecular orientation distributions in the critical nucleus. The predicted cluster compositions for binary and ternary systems resemble qualitatively the experimental behavior for water–n-alcohol and...

Phase separation in binary and ternary fluids is studied using a two-dimensional lattice gas automata. The lengths given by the the first zero crossing point of the correlation function and the total interface length is shown to exhibit power law dependence on time. In binary mixtures, our data clearly indicate the existence of a regime having more than one length scale, where the coarsening pr...

In this study, different derivative spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the simultaneous determination of chlorpheniramine maleate (CP), phenylephrine HCl (PE) and phenylpropanolamine HCl (PP) in their ternary mixtures and in pharmaceutical dosage forms. Spectra of single component and ternary mixtures of various concentrations and combinations from zero- to fourth-derivation were obtai...
