Nesteseosten liukoisuuksien mittaaminen

Diplomityön tarkoituksena on tarkastella isobuteenin dimeroitumisprosessin neste-nestetasapainoja. Tavoitteena on määrittää prosessissa esiintyvien komponenttien väliset neste-nestetasapainot. Työn kirjallisuusosassa on tarkasteltu neste-nestetasapainojen teoriaa. Erityisesti on tarkasteltu mittausmenetelmiä sekä kirjallisuudesta löytyneitä laitteistoja binääristen ja ternääristen systeemien neste-nestetasapainojen määritystä varten. Menetelmät ja laitteistot on esitetty erikseen matalassa ja korkeassa paineessa suoritettaville mittauksille. Lisäksi on tarkasteltu näytteenottoa sekä näytteiden analysointimenetelmiä. Kirjallisuusosassa on myös sivuttu kaasu-neste-nestetasapainojen määritystä, mutta työn varsinainen kohde on neste-nestetasapainojen määritys. Työn kokeellisessa osassa määritettiin iso-oktaaniprosessissa esiintyvien komponenttien välisiä binäärisiä ja ternäärisiä neste-nestetasapainoja. Mitattavien komponenttiparien määrää karsittiin ja jäljellejääneiden parien välillä suoritettavat mittaukset jaoteltiin matalassa ja korkeassa paineessa suoritettaviin määrityksiin. Ternääriset mittaukset tulivat kyseeseen sellaisten komponenttiparien kohdalla, joissa toisiinsa täysin liukenevien nesteiden systeemiin kolmatta komponenttia lisättäessä saatiin aikaiseksi kaksi nestefaasia. Tällaisesta mittaustiedosta voidaan määrittää neste-nestetasapainomallien parametrejä. Mittausten lisäksi kokeellisessa osassa tarkasteltiin näytteenottoa sekä näytteiden analysointia.

Lipídios estruturados obtidos a partir da mistura de gordura de frango, sua estearina e triacilgliceróis de cadeia média: I- Composição em ácidos graxos e em triacilgliceróis

The purpose of this study is to analyze the interactions that occur in binary and ternary fat blends between medium and long chain triacylglycerols and their structured lipids obtained by chemical interesterification through the analysis of their physico-chemical properties. The synthesized structured triacylglycerols presented from 14.8 to 58.4% medium chain fatty acids, from 15.7 to 37.2% saturated fatty acids, from 19.2 to 47.5% monounsaturated fatty acids, and from 6.7 to 15.2% essential fatty acids. Chemical interesterification modified the behavior of binary and ternary mixtures and new types of triacylglycerol groups were formed.

Antioxidants are an alternative to prevent or slow the degradation of the biofuel. In this study, it was evaluated the oxidative stability of B100 biodiesel from soybean oil in the presence of three commercial synthetic antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), pure or blended, from the experimental design of simplex-centroid mixture. The reaction order and rate constant were also calculated for all tests. The treatment containing pure TBHQ proved to be the most effective, proven by design, the optimum mix obtained and the rate constant. Binary and ternary mixtures containing TBHQ also showed appreciable antioxidant effect.

Influência de parâmetros moleculares em funções de correlação temporal na dinâmica de solvatação mecânica

No presente trabalho descrevemos nossos resultados relativos à investigação da dinâmica de solvatação mecânica por meio de simulações por dinâmica molecular, respeitando o regime da resposta linear, em sistemas-modelo de argônio líquido com um soluto monoatômico ou diatômico dissolvido. Estudamos sistematicamente a influência dos parâmetros moleculares dos solutos (tamanho, polarizabilidade) e da densidade frente a vários modelos de solvatação. Funções de Correlação Temporal da Energia de Solvatação foram calculadas com relação à correlações de n-corpos (n = 2; 3) distinguindo interações repulsivas e atrativas para ambos os sistemas líquidos. Também obtivemos segundas derivadas temporais dessas funções referindo-se à parcelas translacionais, rotacionais e roto-translacionais na solução do diatômico. Encontramos que funções de correlação temporal coletivas podem ser razoavelmente bem aproximadas por correlações binárias a densidades baixas e, a densidades altas, correlações ternárias tornam-se mais importantes produzindo um descorrelacionamento mais rápido das funções coletivas devido a efeitos de cancelamento parciais. As funções de correlação para interações repulsivas e atrativas exibem comportamentos dinâmicos independentes do modelo de solvatação devido a fatores de escalonamento linear que afetam apenas as amplitudes das dessas funções de correlação temporal. Em geral, os sistemas com grau de liberdade rotacional apresentam tempos de correlação mais curtos para a dinâmica coletiva e tempos de correlação mais longos para as funções binárias e ternárias. Finalmente, esse estudo mostra que os sistemas contendo o diatômico relaxam-se predominantemente por mecanismos translacionais binários em modelos de solvatação envolvendo alterações apenas na polarizabilidade do soluto, e por mecanismos rotacionais atrativos binários em modelos envolvendo alterações no comprimento de ligação.

Estudo da incorporação de cascalho proveniente da perfuração de poços de petróleo em formulações para tijolos de solo-cimento

The present work is to study the characteristics and technological properties of soil-cement bricks made from binary and ternary mixtures of Portland cement, sand, water, with or without addition of gravel from the drilling of oil wells, which could be used by industry, aiming to improve its performance and reduce cost by using the residue and, consequently, increasing its useful life. The soil-cement bricks are one of the alternatives to masonry construction. These elements, after a short curing period, provide compressive strength similar to that of solid bricks and ceramic blocks, and the higher the resistance the higher the amount of cement used. We used the soil from the city of São José do Mipibu / RN, the banks of the River Baldun, cement CPIIZ-32 and residue of drill cuttings from oil wells drilling onshore wells in the town of Mossley, RN, provided Petrobras. To determine the optimum mix, we studied the inclusion of different residues (100%, 80%, 70%, 60% and 50%) where 15 bodies were made of the test piece. The assessment was made of bricks made from simple compression tests, mass loss by immersion and water absorption. The experimental results proved the efficiency and high utilization of the waste from the drilling of oil wells, making the brick-cement-soil residue with a higher strength and lower water absorption. The best result in terms of mechanical strength and water absorption for the ternary mixture was 10% soil, 14% cement and 80% residue. In terms of binary mixtures, we obtained the best result for the mix-cement residue, which was 14% cement incorporated in the residue

Estudo de pré-formulação para dose fixa combinada dos tuberculostáticos rifampicina, isoniazida, pirazinamida e etambutol (4 em 1)

According to the global framework regarding new cases of tuberculosis, Brazil appears at the 18th place. Thus, the Ministry of Health has defined this disease as a priority in the governmental policies. As a consequence, studies concerning treatment and prevention have increased. Fixed-dose combination formulations (FDC) are recognized as beneficial and are recommended by WHO, but they present instability and loss on rifampicin bioavailability. The main purpose of this work was to carry out a pre-formulation study with the schedule 1 tuberculosis treatment drugs: rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol and pharmaceutical excipients (lactose, cellulose, magnesium stearate and talc), in order to develop an FDC product (150 mg of rifampicin + 75 mg of isoniazid + 400 mg of pyrazinamide + 250 mg of ethambutol). The studies consisted of the determination of particle size and distribution (Ferret s diameter) and shape through optical microscopy, as well as rheological and technological properties (bulk and tapped densities, Hausner Factor, Carr s Index, repose angle and flux rate) and interactions among drugs and drug excipient through thermal analysis (DSC, DTA, TG and your derivate). The results showed that, except isoniazid, the other drugs presented poor rheological properties, determined by the physical characteristics of the particles: small size and rod like particles shape for rifampicin; rectangular shape for pyrazinamide and ethambutol, beyond its low density. The 4 drug mixture also not presented flowability, particularly that one containing drug quantity indicated for the formulation of FDC products. In this mixture, isoniazid, that has the best flowability, was added in a lower concentration. The addition of microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and talc to the drug mixtures improved flowability properties. In DSC analysis probable interactions among drugs were found, supporting the hypothesis of ethambutol and pyrazinamide catalysis of the rifampicin-isoniazid reaction resulting in 3- formylrifamycin isonicotinyl hydrazone (HYD) as a degradation product. In the mixtures containing lactose Supertab® DSC curves evidenced incompatibility among drugs and excipient. In the DSC curves of mixtures containing cellulose MC101®, magnesium stearate and talc, no alterations were observed comparing to the drug profiles. The TG/DTG of the binary and ternary mixtures curves showed different thermogravimetrics profiles relating that observed to the drug isolated, with the thermal decomposition early supporting the evidences of incompatibilities showed in the DSC and DTA curves

Determinação de dados de equilíbrio de fases para sistemas aquosos com eletrólitos

In the present work are established initially the fundamental relationships of thermodynamics that govern the equilibrium between phases, the models used for the description of the behavior non ideal of the liquid and vapor phases in conditions of low pressures. This work seeks the determination of vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for a series of multicomponents mixtures of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, prepared synthetically starting from substances with analytical degree and the development of a new dynamic cell with circulation of the vapor phase. The apparatus and experimental procedures developed are described and applied for the determination of VLE data. VLE isobarics data were obtained through a Fischer s ebulliometer of circulation of both phases, for the systems pentane + dodecane, heptane + dodecane and decane + dodecane. Using the two new dynamic cells especially projected, of easy operation and low cost, with circulation of the vapor phase, data for the systems heptane + decane + dodecane, acetone + water, tween 20 + dodecane, phenol + water and distillation curves of a gasoline without addictive were measured. Compositions of the equilibrium phases were found by densimetry, chromatography, and total organic carbon analyzer. Calibration curves of density versus composition were prepared from synthetic mixtures and the behavior excess volumes were evaluated. The VLE data obtained experimentally for the hydrocarbon and aqueous systems were submitted to the test of thermodynamic consistency, as well as the obtained from the literature data for another binary systems, mainly in the bank DDB (Dortmund Data Bank), where the Gibbs-Duhem equation is used obtaining a satisfactory data base. The results of the thermodynamic consistency tests for the binary and ternary systems were evaluated in terms of deviations for applications such as model development. Later, those groups of data (tested and approved) were used in the KijPoly program for the determination of the binary kij parameters of the cubic equations of state original Peng-Robinson and with the expanded alpha function. These obtained parameters can be applied for simulation of the reservoirs petroleum conditions and of the several distillation processes found in the petrochemistry industry, through simulators. The two designed dynamic cells used equipments of national technology for the determination of VLE data were well succeed, demonstrating efficiency and low cost. Multicomponents systems, mixtures of components of different molecular weights and also diluted solutions may be studied in these developed VLE cells

Molekulardynamiksimulationen zur Untersuchung des Mischalkali-Effektes in silikatischen Gläsern

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird mittels Molekulardynamik(MD)-Computersimulationen die Dynamik von verschiedenen Alkalisilikaten in der Schmelze und im Glas untersucht. Es ist bekannt, daß diese Systeme ionenleitend sind, was auf eine hohe Mobilität der Alkaliionen im Vergleich zu den glasbildenden Komponenten Si und O zurückzuführen ist. Im Mittelpunkt des Interesses steht der sog. Mischalkalieffekt (MAE), der in ternären Mischungen aus Siliziumdioxid mit zwei Alkalioxiden auftritt. Gegenüber Mischungen mit nur einer Alkaliionensorte weisen letztere Systeme eine signifikante Verlangsamung der Alkaliionendiffusion auf. Zunächst werden zwei binäre Alkalisilikate simuliert, nämlich Lithiumdisilikat (LS2) und Kaliumdisilikat (KS2). Die Simulationen zeigen, daß der Ursprung der hohen Mobilität der Alkaliionen in der Struktur begründet ist. KS2 und LS2 weisen auf intermediären Längenskalen Ordnung auf, die in partiellen statischen Strukturfaktoren durch Prepeaks reflektiert ist. Die den Prepeaks zugrundeliegende Struktur erklärt sich durch perkolierende Netzwerke aus alkalioxidreichen Kanälen, die als Diffusionskanäle für die mobilen Alkaliionen fungieren. In diesen Kanälen bewegen sich die Ionen mittels Sprüngen (Hopping) zwischen ausgezeichneten Plätzen. In der Simulation beobachtet man für die hohen Temperaturen (4000K>=1500K) eine ähnliche Aktivierungsenergie wie im Experiment. Im Experiment findet allerdings unterhalb von ca.1200K ein Crossover in ein Arrheniusverhalten mit höherer Aktivierungsenergie statt, welches von der Simulation nicht nachvollzogen wird. Das kann mit der in der Simulation nicht im Gleichgewicht befindlichen Si-O-Matrix erklärt werden, bei der Alterungseffekte beobachtet werden. Am stärksten ist der MAE für eine Alkalikomponente, wenn deren Konzentrationsanteil in einem ternären Mischalkalisystem gegen 0 geht. Daher wird ein LS2-System untersucht, in dem ein Li-Ion gegen ein K-Ion getauscht wird. Der Einfluß des K-Ions ist sowohl lokal in den charakteristischen Abständen zu den ersten nächsten Nachbarn (NN) zu sehen, als auch in der ortsaufgelösten Koordinationszahlverteilung bis zu Längenskalen von ca. 8,5 Angstrom. Die Untersuchung der Dynamik des eingesetzten K-Ions zeigt, daß die Sprungwahrscheinlichkeit nicht mit der Lokalisierung, einem Maß für die Bewegung eines Teilchens um seine Ruheposition, korreliert ist, aber daß eine chemische Umgebung mit wenig Li- und vielen O-NN oder vielen Li- und wenig O-NN ein Sprungereignis begünstigt. Zuletzt wird ein ternäres Alkalisilikat (LKS2) untersucht, dessen Struktur alle charakteristischen Längenskalen von LS2 und KS2 aufweist. Es stellt sich also eine komplexe Struktur mit zwei perkolierenden Subnetzwerken für Alkaliionen ein. Die Untersuchung der Dynamik zeigt eine geringe Wahrscheinlichkeit dafür auf, daß Ionen in ein Subnetzwerk andersnamiger Ionen springen. Auch kann gezeigt werden, daß das Modellpotential den MAE reproduzieren kann, daß also die Diffusionskonstanten in LKS2 bei bis zu einer Größenordnung langsamer sind als in KS2 bzw. LS2. Der beobachtete Effekt stellt sich zudem vom funktionalen Verlauf her so dar, wie er beim MAE erwartet wird. Es wurde auch festgestellt, daß trotz der zeitlichen Verzögerung in den dynamischen Größen die Anzahl der Sprünge pro Zeit nicht geringer ist und daß für niedrige Temperaturen (d.h.im Glas) Sprünge auf den Nachbarplatz mit anschließendem Rücksprung auf die vorherige Position deutlich wahrscheinlicher sind als bei hohen Temperaturen (also in der Schmelze). Die vorliegenden Resultate geben Aufschluß über die Details der Mechanismen mikroskopischer Ionenleitung in binären und ternären Alkalisilikaten sowie dem MAE.

Phasengleichgewichte, Kristallstrukturen und elektrische Eigenschaften der Verbindungen in ternären Systemen M-M’-{Sn, Sb, Bi}

In dieser Arbeit wurden isotherme Schnitte der ternären Systeme Ti-Fe-Sb, Zr-Fe-Sb und Nb-Fe-Sb bei 800 bzw. 600 °C untersucht. Die Bildung von vier von den Binärbereichen getrennten ternären Verbindungen im System Ti-Fe-Sb, drei im System Zr-Fe-Sb und einer Verbindung im System Nb-Fe-Sb wurde festgestellt bzw. bestätigt. In den ersten zwei Systemen ist die Bildung von festen Lösungen auf der Basis von binären sowie ternären Phasen stark ausgeprägt. Es wurde die Abhängigkeit des Strukturtyps der Laves-Phasen M(Fe???Sb?)??? (M = Ti, Zr, Nb) von der Elektronenkonzentration und den Atomradien der Komponenten gezeigt. 18 isotype Verbindungen M?Me’???X??? (M = Zr, Hf; M’ = Fe, Co, Ni; X = Sn, Sb, Bi) des geordneten Fe?P-Strukturtyps wurden synthetisiert. Die Untersuchungen der Transporteigenschaften dieser Verbindungen belegen deren metallischen Charakter. Es wurde die Bildung der neuen equiatomen Verbindungen in den Systemen Zr-Cu-Sn und Hf-Cu-Sn der Strukturtypen TiNiSi bzw. LiGaGe und der Verbindung HfFe???Sb des TiNiSi-Strukturtyps festgestellt. Die Transporteigenschaften der Reihe von festen Lösungen V???Ti?FeSb wurden untersucht. Es wurde gezeigt, dass die größte Erhöhung des Seebeck-Koeffizienten bei der kleinen Konzentration der vierten Komponente erreicht wird. Der höchste Wert des Seebeck-Koeffizienten (370 ?V/K bei 380 K) wurde für die Zusammensetzung V????Ti????FeSb festgestellt. Die Serie der quaternären Phasen Sc???Nb???NiSn, ZrNiIn???Sb???, HfNiIn???Sb???, ZrCo???Cu???Sn und HfCo???Cu???Sn. zeigt die Möglichkeit der Phasenbildung der Strukturtypen AlLiSi, LiGaGe bzw. TiNiSi auch im Fall der Abwesenheit einer oder beider ternärer Randverbindungen. Für die Verbindung Sc???Nb???NiSn wurden Halbleitereigenschaften festgestellt. Insgesamt wurde die Kristallstruktur der 25 neuen, zum ersten Mal synthetisierten ternären und quaternären Verbindungen bestimmt. Schlüsselwörter: Phasendiagramm, Phasengleichgewicht, Kristallstruktur, intermetallische Verbindungen, Halb-Heusler-Verbindungen, thermoelektrische Materialien, elektrischer Widerstand, Seebeck-Koeffizient.
