Abstract: In this study, the liquid-liquid equilibria of the mixtures consisted of ethanol, water, and the main components of gasoline fuel: pentane, hexane, and cyclohexane were experimentally determined. This study is related to the phase behavior when water in atmosphere is absorbed into ethanol + gasoline fuel (gasohol) and then possibly separates into two liquid phases in an automobile fue...

Objective: This study is planned to examine the possible beneficial effect of chronic administration of melatonin on ethanol drinking in rat models chronic voluntary ethanol consumption. Methods: Intermittent access 10% ethanol two-bottle-choice drinking paradigm was employed in 4 groups of rats where the rats had access to ethanol on alternate days in a week and a free access to water on all d...

the effect of ethanol-water media on the synthesis of ag/tio2 nanocomposite was investigated with 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 (wt.%) of ag content. ethanol was used as hole-scavenger enhancing the photodecomposition of ag+ ions under illumination of near-uv light. the nanocomposites were further calcined to 300˚c and 400˚c under controlled atmosphere. the synthesized nanocomposites were tested for photoc...

Energetic and structural results for ethanol-water mixtures as a function of the mole fraction were calculated using Monte Carlo methodology. Energy partitioning results obtained for equimolar water-ethanol mixture and ether organic liquids are compared. It has been shown that at xet=0.22 the RDFs for waterethanol and ethanol-ethanol interactions indicated strong hydrophobic interactions betwee...

BACKGROUND The reinforcing properties of orally self-administered drugs have been evaluated by using choice procedures. The preference for the drug over a nondrug alternative has indicated that the drug has greater value than the nondrug alternative as a reinforcer at some drug concentrations. However, at large drug concentrations, the fluid deliveries of the drug may be equal to or less than t...

Weisinger, R. S., J. R. Blair-West, P. Burns, and D. A. Denton. Intracerebroventricular infusion of angiotensin II increases water and ethanol intake in rats. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R162–R172, 1999.—The influence of prolonged ingestion of ethanol on stimulation of water or ethanol intake by intracerebroventricular infusion of ANG II was evaluated in rats...

Aquaporin (Aqp) embedded membranes have become a topic of recent research due to the superior selectivity of Aqp to water and its acceptable flux. Most researchers have utilized Aqp membranes for water purification purposes such as reverse and forward osmosis desalination of sea and brackish water and wastewater treatment. This paper investigated the permeation of aqueous ethanol across commerc...

Bioethanol has been used as an alternative energy source for transportation vehicles to reduce the use of fossil fuels. The separation of water-ethanol solutions from fermentation processes is still an important issue in the production of anhydrous ethanol. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the effect of axial electric fields on the separation of water-ethanol solutions with ...

Four groups of male Wistar rats, 4 animals in each, were fed a diet containing 3ppm of methylmercury in addition to ion exchange water containing 0% (control), 1%, 2% and 4% ethanol for drinking during the 40-day experimental period. Samples of urine and feces were collected every 8 days and the brain, liver and kidneys excised at the end (day 40) of the experimental period were analysed for co...
