Many industries use vanadium increasingly and as a consequence, the toxic effluents cause environmental concern. Here, we study the extraction of vanadium in supported ionic liquid membrane was studied. The effect of operational conditions on the process performance such as initial feed phase concentration, pH of the feed solution, pore size of the membrane support, type of ionic liquid charged on the support and stripping agent solution was investigated. Vanadium was effectively transported from the feed phase to the stripping phase of ammonia solution using the room temperature ionic liquid, tri-n-octyl methyl ammonium chloride (TOMAC) embedded in the support membrane. …

Room temperature ionic liquids show potential as an alternative to conventional organic membrane solvents mainly due to their properties of low vapor pressure, low volatility and they are often stable. In the present work, the technical feasibilities of room temperature ionic liquids as bulk liquid membranes for phenol removal were investigated experimentally. Three ionic liquids with high hydrophobicity were used and their phenol removal efficiency, membrane stability and membrane loss were studied. Besides that, the effects of several parameters, namely feed phase pH, feed concentration, NaOH concentration and stirring speeds on the performance of best ionic liquid membrane were also …

The percentage removal of phenol from aqueous solution by emulsion liquid membrane and emulsion leakage was investigated experimentally for various parameters such as membrane:internal phase ratio, membrane:external phase ratio, emulsification speed, emulsification time, carrier concentration, surfactant concentration and internal agent concentration. These parameters strongly influence the percentage removal of phenol and emulsion leakage. Under optimum membrane properties, the percentage removal of phenol was as high as 98.33%, with emulsion leakage of 1.25%. It was also found that the necessity of carrier for enhancing phenol removal was strongly dependent on the internal agent concentration.

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations of a dense liquid composed of linear polyethylene chains were performed to investigate the chain dynamics under shear. Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations of a freely jointed chain with equivalent contour length were also performed in the case of a dilute solution. This allowed for a close comparison of the chain dynamics of similar molecules for two very different types of liquids. Both simulations exhibited a distribution of the end-to-end vector, |Rete|, with Gaussian behavior at low Weissenberg number (Wi). At high Wi, the NEMD distribution was bimodal, with two peaks …

Eco-recycling towards an increase of the lifetime of lubricating mineral oil by selective capturing of water with nanosized microporous aluminophosphate and aluminosilicate materials is reported. Quantitative water measurements of oxidized lubricating oil before and after treatment with microporous materials were carried out by FT-IR spectroscopy combined with Karl Fischer titration method. The high selectivity of the nanosized aluminophosphate to water without adsorbing other additives in comparison to nanosized aluminosilicates that are adsorbing altogether polar oxidation products, ionic additives and water are revealed. A removal of nearly 98 % of moisture from the lubricating oil at ambient condition is achieved, which …

Self-Consistent Multiscale Modeling In The Presence Of Inhomogeneous Fields, David Keffer

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a Lennard–Jones fluid in an inhomogeneous external field generate steady-state profiles of density and pressure with nanoscopic heterogeneities. The continuum level of mass, momentum, and energy transport balances is capable of reproducing the MD profiles only when the equation of state for pressure as a function of density is extracted directly from the molecular level of description. We show that the density profile resulting from simulation is consistent with both a molecular-level theoretical prediction from statistical mechanics as well as the solution of the continuum-level set of differential equations describing the conservation of mass and …

The main types of nanoporous adsorbents for water are identified and described with emphasis on the mechanism of adsorption, modification, improvement of the water sorption capacity, possible regeneration, and stabilization. Among the three main groups of water sorbents, i.e. inorganic materials (zeolites, clays, silica), carbon based materials and organic polymers, the first one is described in details. The significance of their porosity, chemical and structural features relative to the water adsorptive properties of each inorganic type materials is reviewed. Important features for silicates, zeolites, aluminophosphates, mesoporous materials and clays are described, which define the interactions between the water and the …

AlPO-18 layers were prepared on Si wafers via spin-coating or the Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) method using nanosized crystals. Multilayers were deposited by spin-coating, whereas the seeds assembled by the LB technique were monolayers. The seeded layers were not stable upon secondary growth under microwave radiation, and no films were formed on the supports. Dense AlPO-18 films could be obtained by secondary growth after stabilization of the seed layers by adding prehydrolyzed tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) to the colloidal AlPO-18 suspension prior to support seeding. The stabilized seed layers and the grown AlPO-18 films were stable. The structure and the morphology of the films …

Atomistic Simulation Of Energetic And Entropic Elasticity In Short-Chain Polyethylenes, David Keffer, T. C. Ionescu, V. G. Mavrantzas, B. J. Edwards
David Keffer
The thermodynamical aspects of polymeric liquids subjected to uniaxial elongational flow are examined using atomistically detailed nonequilibrium Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, attention is paid to the energetic effects, in addition to the entropic ones, which occur under conditions of extreme deformation. Atomistic nonequilibrium Monte Carlo simulations of linear polyethylene systems, ranging in molecular length from C24 to C78 and for temperatures from 300 to 450 K, demonstrate clear contributions of energetic effects to the elasticity of the system. These are manifested in a conformationally dependent heat capacity, which is significant under large deformations. Violations of the hypothesis …

The thermodynamical aspects of polymeric liquids subjected to nonisothermal flow are examined from the complementary perspectives of theory, experiment, and simulation. In particular, attention is paid to the energetic effects, in addition to the entropic ones, that occur under conditions of extreme deformation. Comparisons of experimental measurements of the temperature rise generated under elongational flow at high strain rates with macroscopic finite element simulations offer clear evidence of the persistence and importance of energetic effects under severe deformation. The performance of various forms of the temperature equation are evaluated with regard to experiment, and it is concluded that the standard …

Sulphated Almcm-41: Mesoporous Solid Brønsted Acid Catalyst For Dibenzoylation Of Biphenyl, Eng-Poh Ng, Hadi Nur, Mohd Nazlan Mohd Muhid, Halimaton Hamdan

Sulphated mesoporous solid Brønsted acid catalyst (SO4-AlMCM-41) was prepared by impregnation of sulphuric acid on the surface of H-AlMCM-41. Characterization of SO4-AlMCM-41 by pyridine adsorption studies and 27Al MAS NMR showed that the presence of Brønsted acidity was correlated with octahedrally coordinated aluminium and solvent environment. Catalytic study demonstrated that the SO4-AlMCM-41 catalyst has a higher activity in the dibenzoylation of biphenyl with benzoyl chloride than sulphuric acid, H-AlMCM-41 and sulphated amorphous silica.
