The main types of analytical procedures used in thermal-lens spectroscopy and microscopy, which are based on photometric reactions in (i) aqueous solutions, (ii) organo-aqueous mixtures, (iii) polymer-containing (nonionic surfactants or polyethylene glycol) aqueous solutions, (iv) water-organic extraction systems, and (v) two-phase aqueous extraction systems, were compared from the viewpoint of...

Models that accurately predict solid–solute phase equilibria in aqueous electrolyte solutions are of mounting importance for numerous industrial processes, especially those operating at high temperatures, pressures, and concentrations. The incorporation of such electrolyte models into process simulators is in great demand. This communication will focus on thermodynamically consistent models tha...

A fabrication technique is developed for the preparation of metal oxide/CNT composites. An essential feature of the technique lies in the use of non-aqueous electrolyte in place of the usual aqueous electrolyte, which ensures welldispersed CNTs without surfactants. After a “seed” is formed by electroplating on the anode, the seed is simply pulled up at a certain speed to grow one-dimensional CN...

In this work, an electrolyte-UNIQUAC model was developed by replacement of Boltzmann weight binary interaction parameters by the nonextensive Tsallis weight. A summation of the long-range electrostatic term (Debye-Huckel equation) and a short-range interaction term were considered in the calculation of thermodynamic properties. A framework proposed by Chen and co-workers was employed for the de...

Accurate calculation of light hydrocarbon solubilities in aqueous electrolyte solutions is critical for petroleum and geochemical applications. However, very few Equations State (e-EoS) have been used solubilities. Thermodynamic gas (methane ethane) chloride salts are presented. This work introduces a new parameter estimation approach (which can predict well the liquid densities solutions) Cubi...

We develop an analytical theory that accounts for the image and surface charge interactions between a charged dielectric membrane and a DNA molecule translocating through the membrane. Translocation events through neutral carbon-based membranes are driven by a competition between the repulsive DNA-image-charge interactions and the attractive coupling between the DNA segments on the trans and th...
