the effect of magnetic field on the liquid-liquid equilibrium of two ternary systems (water + acetic acid + butyl acetate and water + acetic acid + dimethyl succinate) at 298.15 k under atmospheric pressure was investigated. the results obtained show that the strength of the magnetic field (0.02 t) affects the solubility of acetic acid in the used organic solvents. distribution coefficients and...

in this study, mass transfer coefficients (mtc’s) of natural gas components during hydrate formation are reported. this work is based on the assumption that the transport of gas molecules from gas phase to aqueous phase is dominant among other resistances. several experiments were conducted on a mixture of natural gas at different pressures and temperatures and the consumed gas was monitored an...

Certain heavy oils which foam under severe depressurization give rise to increased recovery factor and an increased rate of production under solution gas drive. These oils not only stabilize foam, but also stabilize dispersion of gas bubbles at lower volume ratios. The way this phenomenon is related to the chemistry of the oil and its viscosity is presently not understood. We present here a mat...

Poor water solubility for many drugs and drug candidates remains a major obstacle to their development and clinical application. Conventional formulations to improve solubility suffer from low bioavailability and poor pharmacokinetics, with some carriers rendering systemic toxicities (e.g. Cremophor(®) EL). In this review, several major nanonization techniques that seek to overcome these limita...

Protonation and carbamate formation are critical reactions for CO2 capture using amine-based absorbents which impact both absorption amine regeneration. In this regard, thermodynamic analysis towards in N-methylaminoethanol solution is carried out with specific attention to the corresponding protonation reactions. The mechanism investigated acquisition of reaction equilibrium constant heat reac...
