Ammonia effects on proton conductivity properties of coordination polymers

Crystalline metal phosphonates are referred to as a type of structurally versatile coordination polymers [1]. Many of them contain guest molecules (H2O, heterocyclics, etc.), acidic sites and, furthermore, their structure can be also amenable for post‐synthesis modifications in order to enhance desired properties [2]. In the present work, we examine the relationships between crystal structure and proton conductivity for several metal phosphonates derive from multifunctional ligands, such as 5-(dihydroxyphosphoryl)isophthalic acid (PiPhtA) [3] and 2-hydroxyphosphonoacetic acid (H3HPAA). Crystalline divalent metal derivatives show a great structural diversity, from 1D to 3D open-frameworks, possessing hydrogen-bonded water molecules and acid groups. These solids present a proton conductivity range between 7.2·10-6 and 1.3·10−3 S·cm-1. Upon exposure to ammonia vapor, from an aqueous solution, solid state transformations are observed accompanied of enhance proton conductivities. The stability of these solids under different environment conditions (temperature and relative humidities) as well as the influence of the ammonia adsorption on the proton conduction properties of the resulting solids will be discussed.Universidad de Málaga.

Enterprise Ionic Liquids Database (ILUAM) for Use in Aspen ONE Programs Suite with COSMO-Based Property Methods

Palomar Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research 2018 57 (3), 980-989 DOI: 10.1021/acs.iecr.7b04031An enterprise database of pure ionic liquids (ILs) for its use in the Aspen ONE programs is presented. The database is identified as ILUAM, and the first version (ILUAM01) contains 100 ILs composed of 30 cations and 23 anions. The IL components were introduced in Aspen Properties as pseudocomponents using information from the computational COSMO-RS method and from experimental viscosity data. ILUAM database was created to be used along with the COSMOSAC property model implemented in Aspen Plus, allowing evaluating IL process performance without needing further experimental data. Some validation tests were carried out to demonstrate the successful incorporation of ILs in the Aspen Plus property system. Then, the performance of ILUAM01 database in thermodynamic property predictions of mixtures involving ILs and conventional chemical compounds was revised in terms of activity coefficients at infinite dilution and phase equilibrium data. The property description of pure ILs and IL mixtures with conventional chemical compounds using COSMO-based/Aspen Plus approach was found with the accuracy level required in the conceptual design of new processes. ILUAM database offers the opportunity of performing systematic evaluation of potential industrial applications of ILs and their competitiveness as alternative to conventional solvents.The authors are grateful to the Comunidad de Madrid (project S2013- MAE-2800) and to the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad of Spain (Project CTQ2014-52288-R) for financial support.

Un mundo diferente: las cuevas de osos. El caso de la cueva ce Amutxate (Aralar, Navarra)

Las campañas de excavación en la cueva de Amutxate en las que todo el sedimento fue lavado y cribado han permitido estudiar los aspecto taxonómicos de una típica acumulación de resto de oso de las cavernas. Se han recuperado más de 15000 restos de oso de las cavernas, menos de 20 restos de grandes mamíferos y cuatro piezas líticas. Los yacimientos de oso se presentan como el palimsesto de múltiples ocupaciones en las que el papel que juega el oso de las cavernas como acumulador de restos de otros mamíferos es despreciable.
