Abstract:

In this study, the separation of formic acid from aqueous solutions was investigated. Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data including tie-lines was reported for water + formic acid + 2-methylpropyl ethanoate ternary mixture at (293.15 to 323.15) K and atmospheric pressure. The system shows type-I phase behavior based on Treybal’s classification because only one partially miscible binary mixture (water + 2-methylpropyl ethanoate) was observed. The composition of tie-lines was determined by cloud point method and refractive index measurements. The results show that the solubility of formic acid in the water-rich phase is more than in the solvent-rich phase. The extracting capability of the solvent was ascertained by determining the distribution coefficients and separation factors. The reliability of tie-line data was checked by Othmer–Tobias and Hand equations. The experimental data were correlated with NRTL and UNIQUAC models and the binary interaction parameters were determined. The values of the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) were confirmed the quality of the correlations.

Corrosion behaviour of mild steel in aqueous acetic acid solutions containing different amounts of formic acid

The kinetics of mild steel corrosion in 20:0, 19:1, 18:2 and 15:5 (v/v%) aqueous mixture of acetic and formic acids has been investigated by weight loss and potentiostatic polarization techniques. The effects of composition of electrolyte and temperature on the corrosion rate of mild steel have been evaluated. The corrosion rate of mild steel increased linearly with temperature as well as amoun...

Humic acid removal from aqueous solutions by peroxi-electrocoagulation process

Background: Natural organic matter is the cause of many problems associated with water treatment such as the presence of disinfection by-products (DBPs) and membrane fouling during water filtration. In this study, the performance of the peroxi-electrocoagulation process (PEP) was investigated for the removal of humic acids (HAs) from aqueous solutions. Methods: PEP was carried out for the remov...
