Comparison of Interpolation Methods: for Predicting the Vapour Pressure of Aqueous Glycerol Solutions

Several general mathematical methods for approximating two variable functions are applied for the study of the temperature - concentration - vapour pressure relation of aqueous glycerol solutions. The general prope rties of the applied methods are also discussed for possible other applications

Solid-state thermal degradation behaviour of 1-D coordination polymers of Ni(II) and Cu(II) bridged by conjugated ligand

Monometallic complexes [Cudadb·yH2O]n (2) and [Nidadb·yH2O]n (3) and heterobimetallic complex [Cu0.5Ni0.5dadb·yH2O]n (4) {where dadbH2 = 2,5-Diamino-3,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (1); y = 2-4; n = degree of polymerization} were characterized by elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and powder X-ray diffraction. The thermal behaviour of the complexes was studied by thermal analysis (TG/DTA) under air as well as under helium atmospheres. The released gaseous products were investigated by evolved gas analysis performed by an online coupled mass spectrometer (TG/DTA-MS). Thermal degradation of 2 under helium atmosphere is distributed over five steps, whereas 3 and 4 exhibited only four degradation steps due to overlap of second and third degradation steps of into one major step. All the complexes exhibit three steps degradation under air. The complex 2 loses NH group in the second and HCl/Cl2, CO groups simultaneously in third steps of decomposition under helium, whereas it loses NH and CO groups simultaneously in low temperature region of second step of degradation under air atmosphere as the loss of CO group is facilitated by air. EGA-MS under air and helium atmospheres shows that HCl, CO/CO2 and (CN)2 fragments are lost simultaneously at multiple steps, and not successively as predicted earlier. Rate of evolution of most evolved gases exhibits several maxima as a consequence of degradation followed by recombination reactions. Final residues under air and helium atmospheres correspond to the metal oxides and metals along with some carbonaceous matter. © 2013 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary

A convenient cost-effective method for recyclization of the aqueous waste effluent of car-painting industry

Non-sedimentation nanoparticles containing alkaline wastewater as effluent from the cleaning process of car-painting lines can be purified by sedimentation after adding of mineral acids to adjust the pH below 5. Using 10 % aq. sulfuric acid to coagulate and filtrate the colloid particles, and adjusting the effluent pH with 10 wt. % aq. NaOH to the original value (~9), the wastewater can be recycled with ca. 0.3 % salt content into the cleaning process of the painting line (rinsing) technology
