Table V. Values of A and B in Equation 2 for Binary Mixed-Salt Systems...

The variations of A and B with Xx are shown in Figures 5, 6, and 7 for two binary mixed-salt systems and in Figure 7 for a ternary mixed-salt system. In these figures, the observed values of A and B deviate from the relationships represented by Equations 4 and 5. 

The solubilities of carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions of mixed salts chosen from eight electrolytes (NaCl, KCl, Na2SO>, NH Cl, AfgSOj, (HHh)2SOh, CaCl2, KNOs) were measured at 25° C and 1 atm by the saturation method. Experimental results for the mixed-salt system were not described easily by the modified Setschenow Equation. However, they were correlated very well by an empirical two-parameter equation. The parameters in the equation for the binary and ternary salt solutions could be estimated easily from these equations for the components of the mixed salts. 

The solubility data of carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions of binary mixed salts obtained in this study are summarized in Table I those for ternary mixed salts are summarized in Tables II, III, and IV. Figures 1 and 2 show the solubility data for the potassium chloride-calcium chloride and sodium chloride-sodium sulfate-ammonium chloride mixed solutions, respectively, which are representative of all the data. The salting-out effect was shown in all the systems studied. 

Figure 3 shows the plot for potassium chloride-calcium chloride binary salt system. Figure 4 shows the plot for sodium chloride-sodium sulfate-ammonium chloride ternary salt system. As shown in these figures, the plots of log(L0/L) vs. salt concentration all curve upward convexly, and the effects of these mixed salts on the solubility of carbon dioxide in the aqueous solutions do not show a direct correlation by the Setschenow Equation. These features are the same in all the mixed-salt systems considered here. 

KP and v can, in contrast to kp, not be determined via the concentration gradient for binary and ternary mixed micelles, because for the calculation of the Nemstian distribution a constant CMC and an almost constant partial molar volume must be assumed. The calculation of aggregation constants of simple bile salt systems based on Eq. (4) yields similar results (Fig. 8b). Assuming the formation of several concurrent complexes, a brutto stability constant can be calculated. For each application of any tenside, suitable markers have to be found. The completeness of dissolution in the micellar phase is, among other parameters, dependent on the pH value and the ionic strength of the counterions. Therefore, the displacement method should be used, which is not dependent on the chemical solubilization properties of markers. For electrophoretic MACE studies, it is advantageous for the micellar constitution (structure of micelle, type of phase micellar or lamellar) to be known for the relevant range of concentrations (surfactant, lipids). 

Kumar et al used spectroscopic techniques such as NMR to study the properties and structures of mixed glass systems. Rosenhahn et al. obtained insight into the structure and dynamics of the binary As-Se glass system from high temperature Se NMR studies of molten salts. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been carried out for sihcate, aluminosilicate and aluminate clusters to study the NMR characteristics of various types of hydroxyl that are possibly present in hydrous silicate glasses and melts. Xue and Kanzaki in particular studied the specification and dynamics of dissolved water in the silicate glasses. 

Early in their work on molten salt electrolytes for thermal batteries, the Air Force Academy researchers surveyed the aluminum electroplating literature for electrolyte baths that might be suitable for a battery with an aluminum metal anode and chlorine cathode. They found a 1948 patent describing ionicaUy conductive mixtures ofAlCh and 1-ethylpyridinium halides, mainly bromides [6]. Subsequently the salt 1-butylpyridinium chloride -AICI3 (another complicated pseudo-binary) was found to be better behaved than the earlier mixed halide system, so the chemical and physical properties were measured and published [7]. I would mark this as the start of the modern era for ionic liquids, because for the first time a wider audience of chemists started to take interest in these totally ionic, completely nonaqueous new solvents. 

Markov et al. [60,61] proposed an equation for the equivalent electrical conductivity of simple binary molten salt mixtures. In binary systems (MjX -l-M2X or MXi -I- MX2) there is the possibility of the following ionic arrangements MiX - MiX M2X - M2X MiX - M2X. The probabilities of forming the combinations MjX - MjX M2X - M2X and MjX - M2X are proportional to Xl and 2x1X2, respectively, where Xi and X2 are the molar fractions of the two salts. Eor monovalent molten salts, the equivalent electrical conductivity of a mixture of these salts, A , can be written as... 

Thus, in the free energy of mixing of a binary system, the first-order terms cancel each other and do not appear. All of the integrals contained in the terms Z a, A, K, M, and T in Eq. (87) are dependent solely on the properties of the comparison salt and are constant for binary conformal ionic mixtures having X- as the anion. 

Another type of ternary electrolyte system consists of two solvents and one salt, such as methanol-water-NaBr. Vapor-liquid equilibrium of such mixed solvent electrolyte systems has never been studied with a thermodynamic model that takes into account the presence of salts explicitly. However, it should be recognized that the interaction parameters of solvent-salt binary systems are functions of the mixed solvent dielectric constant since the ion-molecular electrostatic interaction energies, gma and gmc, depend on the reciprocal of the dielectric constant of the solvent (Robinson and Stokes, (13)). Pure component parameters, such as gmm and gca, are not functions of dielectric constant. Results of data correlation on vapor-liquid equilibrium of methanol-water-NaBr and methanol-water-LiCl at 298.15°K are shown in Tables 9 and 10. 

A review is presented of techniques for the correlation and prediction of vapor-liquid equilibrium data in systems consisting of two volatile components and a salt dissolved in the liquid phase, and for the testing of such data for thermodynamic consistency. The complex interactions comprising salt effect in systems which in effect consist of a concentrated electrolyte in a mixed solvent composed of two liquid components, one or both of which may be polar, are discussed. The difficulties inherent in their characterization and quantitative treatment are described. Attempts to correlate, predict, and test data for thermodynamic consistency in such systems are reviewed under the following headings correlation at fixed liquid composition, extension to entire liquid composition range, prediction from pure-component properties, use of correlations based on the Gibbs-Duhem equation, and the recent special binary approach. 

The salt effects of potassium bromide and a series office symmetrical tetraalkylammonium bromides on vapor-liquid equilibrium at constant pressure in various ethanol-water mixtures were determined. For these systems, the composition of the binary solvent was held constant while the dependence of the equilibrium vapor composition on salt concentration was investigated these studies were done at various fixed compositions of the mixed solvent. Good agreement with the equation of Furter and Johnson was observed for the salts exhibiting either mainly electrostrictive or mainly hydrophobic behavior however, the correlation was unsatisfactory in the case of the one salt (tetraethylammonium bromide) where these two types of solute-solvent interactions were in close competition. The transition from salting out of the ethanol to salting in, observed as the tetraalkylammonium salt series is ascended, was interpreted in terms of the solute-solvent interactions as related to physical properties of the system components, particularly solubilities and surface tensions. 

With the use of thermodynamic relations and numerical procedure, the activity coefficients of the solutes in a ternary system are expressed as a function of binary data and the water activity of the ternary system. The isopiestic method was used to obtain water activity data. The systems KCl-H20-PEG-200 and KBr-H20-PEG-200 were measured. The activity coefficient of potassium chloride is higher in the mixed solvent than in pure water. The activity coefficient of potassium bromide is smaller and changes very little with the increasing nonelectrolyte concentration. PEG-200 is salted out from the system with KCl, but it is salted in in the system with KBr within a certain concentration range. 

Reactive absorption processes occur mostly in aqueous systems, with both molecular and electrolyte species. These systems demonstrate substantially non-ideal behavior. The electrolyte components represent reaction products of absorbed gases or dissociation products of dissolved salts. There are two basic models applied for the description of electrolyte-containing mixtures, namely the Electrolyte NRTL model and the Pitzer model. The Electrolyte NRTL model [37-39] is able to estimate the activity coefficients for both ionic and molecular species in aqueous and mixed solvent electrolyte systems based on the binary pair parameters. The model reduces to the well-known NRTL model when electrolyte concentrations in the liquid phase approach zero [40].
