T1 - Facile synthesis of poly(p-phenylenediamine)/MWCNT nanocomposites and characterization for investigation of structural effects of carbon nanotubes N2 - Poly(p-phenylenediamine) (PpPD)/carboxylic acid-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (c-MWCNTs) nanocomposites were prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization using potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) as an oxidant. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE–SEM) and field-emission Transmission electron microscopy (FE–TEM) showed that a tubular layer of PpPD was coated on the surface of carbon nanotubes with a thickness of 10–20 nm. FT–IR analysis provided an evidence for the formation of nanocomposites. The thermal stability of nanocomposites was improved by addition of c-MWCNTs as confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). XRD spectra showed that the crystalline nature of PpPD was not affected much by the addition of c-MWCNTs. As the content of c-MWCNTs was increased, the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposites increased due to the interaction between polymer and nanotubes that enhances electron delocalization.

T1 - Phase equilibria and partitioning of L-histidine and three pharmaceuticals to pH-adjusted high-pressure liquid phases of the ternary system (ethene + water + 2-propanol) N2 - Adding some salt to a homogeneous aqueous liquid solution of an organic solvent often results in a liquid–liquid phase split. However, such a phase split can also be achieved by charging such a liquid with a gas, in particular when the temperature is close to the critical temperature of that specific gas. This phenomenon is called 'salting out by a near-critical gas'. It might be applied in a high-pressure extraction process, for example, to separate and recover valuable biomolecules from aqueous phases. Using a neutral gas like, for example, ethene for pressurizing additionally allows to adjust the pH of the coexisting liquid phases and to influence the partitioning of biomolecules when they change their electric net charge with the pH of the solution. The design of such separation processes requires not only reliable information on the phase forming system, that is, the ternary system (near-critical gas + water + organic solvent), but also on the partitioning of typical solutes to the coexisting phases. The present publication reports data (from an experimental study with a static-analytical device) for the partitioning of four biomolecules, that is, L-histidine, Aspirin, cimetidine, and 4-dimethylaminoantipyrine (at nearly infinite dilution) to coexisting liquid phases of the high-pressure three-phase liquid–liquid–vapor (L1L2V) equilibrium of the ternary system (ethene + water + 2-propanol) at (293 and 333) K and pressures from about (5.5 to 17) MPa. The coexisting liquid phases are characterized by distinctly different compositions, the aqueous phase being more hydrophilic than the alkanol-rich phase. Moreover, electrolytes were additionally added to adjust the pH conditions in the liquid phases. The pH-dependent dissociation equilibrium and the related net charge of the biomolecules primarily determine the partitioning behavior: The pH effect is stronger than the impact of varying pressure or temperature. For example, a switch from basic to acidic conditions can invert the partitioning, if that switch at the same time effects a change in the net charge of the solute, for example, from an ionic to a neutral molecule (or vice versa). The ionic solute is more hydrophilic (and thus prefers the aqueous phase), whereas the neutral or zwitterionic solute is less hydrophilic (i.e., more lipophilic) and consequently prefers the propanol-rich liquid phase.

T1 - Solubility of carbon dioxide in liquid mixtures of water + [bmim][CH3SO4] N2 - Experimental results are reported for the solubility of carbon dioxide in liquid mixtures of water and the ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([bmim][CH3SO4]). Three (gas-free) solvent compositions were considered with mass fractions of [bmim][CH3SO4] of w' ≈ 0.15, 0.50, and 0.87 (mole fractions x' ≈ 0.013, 0.066, and 0.33). In the isothermal experimental series, the temperature was about (293, 333, and 373) K. The total pressure ranged up to about 10 MPa. The molality of carbon dioxide in the solvent mixture of (water + [bmim][CH3SO4]) (the mole fraction of carbon dioxide in the liquid) ranged up to approximately 1.64 mol·kg–1 (about 0.0332). The experimental results are used to determine Henry's constant of carbon dioxide in the liquid mixtures of (water + [bmim][CH3SO4]) as well as the partial molar volume of that gas at infinite dilution in those solvent mixtures. The phase equilibrium is described by applying an extension (to solvent mixtures) of Pitzer's molality scale-based equation for the Gibbs excess energy.

T1 - Accurate experimental (p, rho, T) data for the introduction of hydrogen into the natural gas grid: Thermodynamic characterization of the nitrogen−hydrogen binary system from 240 to 350 K and pressures up to 20 MPa N2 - The experimental density data of the binary System nitrogen−hydrogen available at the time of the development of the equation of state for natural gases and related mixtures, GERG-2008, were limited to hydrogen contents higher than 0.15 (amount-of-substance fraction) and temperatures above 270 K. This work provides accurate experimental (p, ρ, T) data for three binary mixtures of nitrogen and hydrogen: (0.95 N2 + 0.05 H2), (0.90 N2 + 0.10 H2), and (0.50 N2 + 0.50 H2) at temperatures of 240, 250, 260, 275, 300, 325, and 350 K, thus extending the range of available experimental data to low hydrogen contents and low temperatures. The density measurements were performed by using a single-sinker densimeter with magnetic suspension coupling at pressures up to 20 MPa. Experimental data were compared with the corresponding densities calculated from the GERG-2008 and the AGA8-DC92 equations of state. The relative deviations of the experimental data from both equations of state were within the estimated uncertainty value of the equations. Therefore, the experimental data agree very well with the values estimated from the equations. The virial coefficients B(T,x), C(T,x), and D(T,x) as well as the second interaction virial coefficient B12(T) for the nitrogen−hydrogen binary system were also calculated from the experimental data set at temperatures from 240 to 350 K. The resulting values agree with those from literature.

A1 - Tuma, Dirk A1 - Maurer, G. ED - Renon, H. T1 - High-pressure phase behavior of ternary systems (carbon dioxide + alkanol + hydrophobic ionic liquid) N2 - Some homogeneous liquid mixtures of an ionic liquid and a lower alkanol (e.g., methanol) can be forced to undergo a liquid–liquid phase split (resulting in a three-phase liquid–liquid–vapor (L1L2V) equilibrium) by pressurization with a gas. Such systems exhibit the phenomenon of "salting out by a nearcritical gas". That phenomenon is often observed at temperatures around the critical temperature of the gas in liquid mixtures where at least one of the liquid components is a good solvent for that gas. New experimental results for both the L1L2V equilibrium and the corresponding critical endpoint lines of the two ternary systems (carbon dioxide + methanol + 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [bmim][PF6]) and (carbon dioxide + 1-butanol + 1-n-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [hmim][Tf2N]) at temperatures between 293 and 333 K are reported. The experiments were performed with an "analytical method". The liquid–liquid phase split exists only at pressures between a lower critical endpoint line (where both liquid phases become critical and coexist with a vapor phase) and an upper critical endpoint line (where one of the phases becomes critical with the vapor phase while the critical phases coexist with another liquid phase). The compositions of the coexisting three phases L1, L2, and V differ considerably; a high-density, ionic liquid-rich liquid phase (L1) coexists with an alkanol-rich liquid phase (L2) of lower density and a vapor phase (V) that is virtually ionic liquid-free. For both systems, it was observed that, at constant temperature, increasing pressure shifts the L1 phase towards higher contents of ionic liquid and gas and less alkanol, whereas in the L2 phase the mole fractions of ionic liquid and alkanol decrease. Higher temperatures result in a smaller difference between the pressures of both critical endpoint lines. Experimental results for both critical endpoint lines and for the compositions of the coexisting liquid phases are reported.

T1 - High-pressure solubility of carbon dioxide in imidazolium-based ionic liquids with anions [PF6] and [BF4] N2 - The solubility of carbon dioxide in three ionic liquids (ILs) under supercritical fluid condition was measured at pressures up to 32 MPa and at temperatures of 313.15, 323.15, and 333.15 K in a high-pressure view cell. The imidazolium-derivative ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]), and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([omim][BF4]) were employed in this research. The effects of pressure, temperature, nature of anion and cation as well as the water content on the solubility of CO2 in the ILs were investigated experimentally. The solubility of CO2 in the IL was higher for the ILs with longer cationic alkyl group and for the ILs with lower anion polarity. The lower the water content or the lower the temperature as well as the higher the pressure, the higher was the solubility of CO2.

T1 - Ionic liquid mediated synthesis of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-block-methyl methacrylate)/Fe3O4 core–shell structured nanocomposite by ATRP method N2 - A hybrid nanocomposite of magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-blockpoly(methyl methacrylate) (PHEMA-b-PMMA) was synthesized successfully by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in an ionic liquid (IL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim]PF6). Fe3O4 nanoparticles were first surface-modified with the initiator, 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BiBBr), in dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent, which produced the macro-initiator, Fe3O4-BiB, to initiate the polymerization reactions for the synthesis of the block polymer, PHEMA-b-PMMA. After immobilizing the Initiator on the surface of Fe3O4, the block polymer chains were grafted successfully onto the Fe3O4 surface, causing the Formation of a core-shell nanostructure. The incorporation of Fe3O4 in the nanocomposite was confirmed by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The thermal stability and magnetic properties increased with increasing amount of Fe3O4 in the nanocomposite.

The CS/Fe3O4 composite was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and zeta-potential measurements. The Composite was used to remove methyl orange (MO) dye from an aqueous solution. The factors affecting the adsorption capacity, such as adsorption time, absorbent dosage and solution pH were investigated. The results suggested that the composite was an effective adsorbent for the removal of MO dye from its aqueous solution. Kinetics studies showed that the adsorption process was consistent with a pseudo-second-order model. The adsorbent efficiency was unaltered, even after five cycles of reuse, and the adsorbent could be recollected easily using a magnet. In addition, the composite exhibited a superior antibacterial efficacy against Escherichia coli; 82 % within 24 h, as measured by the colony forming units.

Experimental values were compared with the corresponding densities calculated from the GERG-2008 and the AGA8-DC92 equations of state, respectively. Deviations from the GERG-2008 are much larger than from the AGA8-DC92 (up to -6.5%). These deviations increase with decreasing temperature, with increasing pressure, and with increasing helium fraction. In contrast, deviations from the AGA8-DC92 are within the 0.5% band.

T1 - Evaluation of Reference Equations of State for Density Prediction in Regasified LNG Mixtures Using High-Precision Experimental Data N2 - This study evaluates the performance of three reference equations of state (EoS), AGA8-DC92, GERG-2008, and SGERG-88, in predicting the density of regasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) mixtures. A synthetic nine-component RLNG mixture was gravimetrically prepared. High-precision density measurements were obtained using a single-sinker magnetic suspension densimeter over a temperature range of (250 to 350) K and pressures up to 20 MPa. The experimental data were compared with EoS predictions to evaluate their accuracy. AGA8-DC92 and GERG-2008 showed excellent agreement with the experimental data, with deviations within their stated uncertainty. In contrast, SGERG-88 exhibited significantly larger deviations for this RLNG mixture, particularly at low temperatures of (250 to 260) K, where discrepancies reached up to 3 %. Even at 300 K, deviations larger than 0.4 % were observed at high pressures, within the model’s uncertainty, but notably higher than those of the other two EoSs. The analysis was extended to three conventional 11-component natural gas mixtures (labeled G420 NG, G431 NG, and G432 NG), previously studied by our group using the same methodology. While SGERG-88 showed reduced accuracy for the RLNG mixture, it performed reasonably well for these three mixtures, despite two of them have a very similar composition to the RLNG. This discrepancy is attributed to the lower CO2 and N2 content typical in RLNG mixtures, demonstrating the sensitivity of EoS performance to minor differences in composition. These findings highlight the importance of selecting appropriate EoS models for accurate density prediction in RLNG applications.

T1 - Modified chemical synthesis of MnS nanoclusters on nickel foam for high performance all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitors N2 - Novel MnS nanoclusters were synthesized on nickel foam (NF) using a successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. MnS nanoclusters with different sizes were obtained by varying the number of deposition cycles. The crystal structure, chemical composition, and surface microstructure of the electrodes were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field Emission scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical behavior of the MnS nanoclusters was examined by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge–discharge, cycling test, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The MnS nanoclusters prepared with 90 SILAR cycles showed the best supercapacitance in a 6 M KOH aqueous electrolyte with a specific capacitance of 828 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s and cycling stability of 85.2 % after 5000 charge–discharge cycles. Moreover, an asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) was assembled with the as-prepared MnS electrode on NF as the positive electrode, hydrothermally prepared reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on NF as the negative electrode, and PVA–KOH gel as the electrolyte. The MnS@NF//rGO@NF ASC showed excellent electrochemical performance with maximum energy and power densities of 34.1 Wh/kg and 12.8 kW/kg, respectively. The ASC also showed a capacitive retention of 86.5 % after 2000 charge–discharge cycles, highlighting its practical application for energy storage.
