The permeation of different organic molecules in water solvent and in 12% ethanolwater solution by hydrophilic reverse osmosis membrane was studied. The membrane was conditioned to the ethanol-water solution before the experiments. Initially, the membrane was characterized by water and ethanol-water solutions. The permeation of four solutes (tyramine, proline, glucose and tartaric acid) showed ...

Naïve humans and rats voluntarily consume little ethanol at concentrations above ~6% due to its aversive flavor. Developing procedures that boost intake of ethanol or ethanol-paired flavors facilitates research on neural mechanisms of ethanol-associated behaviors and helps identify variables that modulate ethanol intake outside of the lab. The present study explored the impact on consumption of...

Our objective was to compare the use of calories from ethanol by well-nourished and malnourished rats in terms of body weight. Female Wistar rats weighing 170-180 g at the beginning of the study were used. The animals were divided into two groups (N = 12 each): group W received water ad libitum and group E an ethanol solution ad libitum as the only source of liquid throughout the experiment. Th...

1. The solubilities of l-tyrosine, dichloro-l-tyrosine (hydrated), dibromo-l-tyrosine (anhydrous), and diiodo-l-tyrosine in ethanol-water mixtures at 25 degrees have been determined. 2. It was found that the solubilities of the dihalogenated substitution products of l-tyrosine are increased by addition of ethanol up to a certain concentration. Further addition of ethanol leads to a decrease in ...

Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) cv. Yellow Candy flowers were treated with ethanol solution (4%) in the absence or presence of 1 or 10 mM L-methionine, or ethanol or acetaldehyde solution (0.05%), in the absence or presence of 1 mM aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC). Spermidine in petals was measured over time in flowers treated with 4% ethanol or distilled water. Ethanol treatment si...

Surface Tension. To properly direct the Cassie-Wenzel transition using variations in the surface tension of the aqueous solution (sol ) in contact with the SH film, we first established the behavior of sol  at various mass fractions of ethanol (Figure S1). The surface tension of the liquid was as high as 71.3 mN/m for pure water (water ) and as low as 21.7 mN/m for pure ethanol (EtOH ), and...

Using the evaporating method, the solubility of potassium Nitrate was determined in various mixtures containing Water and Ethanol at 25°C. The results show that the solubility of KNo3 decreases with increasing the mass percent of Ethanol in the mixtures. This trend is along with decreasing the dielectric constant of Water+Ethanol mixtures. Moreover, it can be concluded that the totqal solubilit...

Ultrasonic atomization, a process of generating fine droplets through irradiation of high-frequency ultrasound to a gas–liquid interface from the liquid underneath, is applied to separating ethanol from its aqueous solution. Towards its practical use, the process of collecting in two cooling stages the ethanolenriched mist—generated via an ultrasonic atomizer (ultrasonic transducer operated at ...

A new luminescent Zn-MOF has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition using a semi-rigid ligand H3pcoip (4-(2-carboxyphenoxy)isophthalic acid) is reported. The luminescence properties of 1 in methanol, ethanol, and water have been investigated. Interestingly, compound 1 has a unique response to methanol compared to ethanol and water. Moreover, 1 displays a turn-on switching property trigge...
