Methanol-water mixture properties

Using the results calculated from the density data, the concentration of the individual components of the methanol/water mixture at different temperatures can be computed thus disclosing the effect of temperature on the elution properties of methanol/water mixtures. The results are shown in Figure 30. 

We have found that in the system of presulfate initiator, the PVAc latexes are not dissolved transparently in the methanol-water mixture [8], and in the system of HPO initiator, the extraction of the polymer from the PVAc latex films with acetone greatly depends on the polymerization condition [9]. These results suggest that if a polymerization method can be found in which the grafting polymerization of VAc onto PVA is controlled to the minimum, a large portion of PVAc in the latex film will have a chance of extraction with solvents. In this Chapter, the preparations of the unique porous films from the PVAc latexes containing PVA as a protective colloid by an extraction of the PVAc particles with acetone and the characteristic properties of the porous films are summarized.

The bubble point tests conducted in methanol/water mixtures were worked up to show properties of the three-phase interfaces along the complex contact line in SS304 LAD screens. In particular, the variation with F2 of the solid/vapor interfacial tension /sv differed from that of the solid/liquid interface j/sl- The data are consistent with the Langmuir isotherm description of the thermodynamics of adsorption. The result of the analysis is that the co-areas Amin are 0.32 nm /molecule for the SS304— vapor interface and 1.77 nm /molecule for the SS304—solution interface. This implies that that methanol molecules form a dense, liquid-like monolayer at the interface of SS304 with the vapor phase, while the methanol molecules are very dilute in the interface between SS304 and the solution of methanol/water. 

Figure 9 serves to demonstrate this equalizing of the stationary phases in the presence of buffers even for non-ionic analytes. In Fig. 9a, the separation of the isomers of nitroaniline on four rather different stationary phases with the help of an alkaline acetonitrile buffer is shown. Apart from small differences in the retention time, the separation of the three peaks looks rather similar on each of the four columns. Fig. 9b shows the separation of the nitroanilines on Symmetry Shield and on Zorbax Bonus in a methanol/water mixture. The chromatograms look absolutely different even an inversion of the elution order is observed. This means that to exploit the individual properties of the stationary phases in the realm of ultimate selectivity, one should dispense with buffers, which is not easy to realize in routine work, where reproducible retention times are required. Nevertheless, one should remember this in the case of orthogonal tests see below. These phenomena are observed even with simple, polar, non-ionizable analytes such as ketones (see Fig. 10). 

Lists of useful matrices for FAB are available and their physical and chemical properties have been compiled. In the authors laboratory where FAB is still routinely applied to the analysis of plant secondary metabolites such as saponins, flavonoid glycosides, fatty acid derivatives and small synthetic peptides Mj.< 3000), two matrices are mainly used glycerol, in the analysis of polar hydrophilic compounds and m-nitrobenzylalcohol (m-NBA) for lipophilic compounds. When glycerol is selected the sample is first dissolved in a cosolvent, methanol or a methanol-water mixture, while in the case of m-NBA dichloromethane is employed as cosolvent to facilitate addition of the sample to the matrix. It is a misconception that FAB can only be applied to the analysis of polar analytes lipophilic compounds such as fatty acids and their derivatives are well amenable to FAB analysis if a lipophilic matrix is selected. Other matrices that have often been employed in peptide analysis include thioglycerol and a eutectic mixture of dithiothreitol and dithioerythritol (3 1, w/w), known as magic bullet . For negative ion FAB the basic matrices di- and triethanolamine have also been used.
