We conducted reversed deliquescence experiments in saturated NaCl–NaNO3 – H2O, KNO3 – NaNO3 – H2O, and NaCl–KNO3 – H2O systems from 90 to 120 °C as a function of relative humidity and solution composition. NaCl, NaNO3 , and KNO3 represent members of dust salt assemblages that are likely to deliquesce and form concentrated brines on high-level radioactive waste package surfaces in a repository e...

We have investigated the electronic structure and thermodynamic properties of supercell of the -Al2O3 by first-principles calculation in framework of density functional theory (DFT) and full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and by quasi-harmonic Debye model. Our calculated value for direct band gap of α-Al2O3 is 7.2 eV which i...

expanded graphite nanosheets (eg-nanosheets) were used for adsorption of malachite green (mg) from aqueous solution. the influences of dye concentrations, absorbent dosage, ph values and the temperatures on the adsorption were investigated as well. the dye adsorption experiments were carried out by utilizing batch procedure. eg-nanosheets were initially characterized by scanning electron micros...

The main purpose of this study is to develop new thermodynamic models for solution behavior and solid-liquid equilibrium in 10 nitrate binary systems the type 2–1 (Mg(NO 3 ) 2 -H O, Ca(NO Ba(NO Sr(NO UO (NO O), 3–1 (Cr(NO Al(NO La(NO Lu(NO 4–1 (Th(NO 4 O) from low very high concentration at 25 °C. To construct models, we used different versions standard molality-based Pitzer approach. parameter...

TOUGHREACT (Xu et al., 2006) is a generalpurpose reactive geochemical transport numerical simulator. It deals with multiphase flow, solute transport and geochemical reactions including aqueous complexation, mineral dissolution/ precipitation and cation exchange. Making use of an extended Debye-Hückel ion activity model, this simulator can handle solutions concentrated to slightly above ~1 molal...

An extended Peng-Robinson equation of state (EPR-EOS) is used to model the vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) in systems containing (water + NaCl + CO2), (water + methanol + NaCl + CO2), (water + Na2SO4 + CO2) and (water + NH4Cl + CO2). The binary and ternary interaction parameters between salt and solvent are adjusted...
