Miscible mixing

There are other miscible, mixed-solvent pairs, pet. ether and diehyl ether, methanol and water, and ligroin and diethyl ether among them. 

Ans. (a) Miscible forces of attraction between like and unlike molecules are about the same, (b) Not miscible mixing would disrupt the strong H-bonds in water there is no especially strong attraction between unlike molecules to compensate, (c) Miscible both components have hydrogen bonding. Breaking of H-bonds in water is compensated for by the formation of H-bonds between unlike molecules. 

Fractional distillation is a method used to separate a mixture of miscible (mix with each other) liquids (Figure 10). For example, gasoline from petroleum. 

Physical blends of bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) and a poly-arylate (PAr) exhibit by thermal analysis two amorphous phases a pure PC phase and a PAr-rIch miscible mixed phase. On controlled thermal treatment, transreaction between PC and PAr takes place mainly in the mixed phase, producing a new copolymer. Reaction progression from block to random copolymers has been traced by DSC, 13c NMR and CPC. The final product of transreaction is an amorphous copolymer showing a single T depending on the original binary composition. ... 

Adding other polymeric ingredients is a common method of increasing the api ications for PVC. The miscible mixing of polymers with PVC to improve specific properties such as impact or plasticization, is covered in sections niB and niF. In contrast to miscible mixtures, there exist mixtures with nitrile (NBR) rubber of specific comonomer content which do approach the thermodynamic requirements for solid solutions. This present discussion will be directed towards alloys of PVC and other polymers, where some miscibility is a characteristic of the final formulation, and where some benefit fiom each polymer ingredient is noted. 

Taber, Kamath and Reed (132) attempted to confirm the pistonlike theory on relatively long, single pieces of consolidated sandstone (Torpedo and Berea), and in addition, they attempted to determine if the slug deterioration did follow the miscible mixing... 

Miscible Mixable. Describes full mixing of two fluids without dissolution of one into the other. Soluble = dissolves in, miscible = mixes into. The converse, immiscible, refers to a lack of mixing ability, as seen in the case of oil and water.

Miscible processes are aimed at recovering oil which would normally be left behind as residual oil, by using a displacing fluid which actually mixes with the oil. Because the miscible drive fluid is usually more mobile than oil, it tends to bypass the oil giving rise to a low macroscopic sweep efficiency. The method is therefore best suited to high dip reservoirs. Typical miscible drive fluids include hydrocarbon solvents, hydrocarbon gases, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. 

Steam Distillation. Distillation of a Pair of Immiscible Liquids. Steam distillation is a method for the isolation and purification of substances. It is applicable to liquids which are usually regarded as completely immiscible or to liquids which are miscible to only a very limited extent. In the following discussion it will be assumed that the liquids are completely immiscible. The saturated vapours of such completely immiscible liquids follow Dalton s law of partial pressures (1801), which may be stated when two or more gases or vapoms which do not react chemically with one another are mixed at constant temperature each gas exerts the same pressure as if it alone were present and that... 

Some liquids are practically immiscible e.g., water and mercury), whilst others e.g., water and ethyl alcohol or acetone) mix with one another in all proportions. Many examples are known, however, in which the liquids are partially miscible with one another. If, for example, water be added to ether or if ether be added to water and the mixture shaken, solution will take place up to a certain point beyond this point further addition of water on the one hand, or of ether on the other, will result in the formation of two liquid layers, one consisting of a saturated solution of water in ether and the other a saturated solution of ether in water. Two such mutually saturated solutions in equilibrium at a particular temperature are called conjugate solutions. It must be mentioned that there is no essential theoretical difference between liquids of partial and complete miscibility for, as wdll be shown below, the one may pass into the other with change of experimental conditions, such as temperature and, less frequently, of pressure. 

If the third substance dissolves in both liquids (and the solubility in each of the liquids is of the same order), the mutual solubility of the liquids will be increased and an upper C.S.T. will be lowered, as is the case when succinic acid or sodium oleate is added to the phenol - water system. A 0 083 molar solution of sodium oleate lowers the C.S.T. by 56 -7° this large effect has been applied industrially in the preparation of the disinfectant sold under the name of Lysol. Mixtures of tar acids (phenol cresols) do not mix completely with water at the ordinary temperature, but the addition of a small amount of soap ( = sodium oleate) lowers the miscibility temperature so that Lysol exists as a clear liquid at the ordinary temperature. 

If the substance is found to be far too soluble in one solvent and much too insoluble in another solvent to allow of satisfactory recrystallisation, mixed solvents or solvent pairs may frequently be used with excellent results. The two solvents must, of course, be completely miscible. Recrystallisation from mixed solvents is carried out near the boiling point of the solvent. The compound is dissolved in the solvent in which it is very soluble, and the hot solvent, in which the substance is only sparingly soluble, is added cautiously until a slight turbidity is produced. The turbidity is then just cleared by the addition of a small quantity of the first solvent and the mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature crystals will separate. Pairs of liquids which may be used include alcohol and water alcohol and benzene benzene and petroleum ether acetone and petroleum ether glacial acetic acid and water. 

Since the 0 s are fractions, the logarithms in Eq. (8.38) are less than unity and AGj is negative for all concentrations. In the case of athermal mixtures entropy considerations alone are sufficient to account for polymer-solvent miscibility at all concentrations. Exactly the same is true for ideal solutions. As a matter of fact, it is possible to regard the expressions for AS and AGj for ideal solutions as special cases of Eqs. (8.37) and (8.38) for the situation where n happens to equal unity. The following example compares values for ASj for ideal and Flory-Huggins solutions to examine quantitatively the effect of variations in n on the entropy of mixing. 

Sprays. Aerosol spray emulsions are of the water-in-oil type. The preferred propellant is a hydrocarbon or mixed hydrocarbon—hydrofluorocarbon. About 25 to 30% propellent, miscible with the oil, remains in the external phase of the emulsion. When this system is dispensed, the propellant vaporizes, leaving behind droplets of the w/o emulsion (Fig. 2b). A vapor tap valve, which tends to produce finely dispersed particles, is employed. Because the propellant and the product concentrate tend to separate on standing, products formulated using this system, such as pesticides and room deodorants, must be shaken before use. 

Lead borate moaohydrate [14720-53-7] (lead metaborate), Pb(B02)2 H20, mol wt 310.82, d = 5.6g/cm (anhydrous) is a white crystalline powder. The metaborate loses water of crystallization at 160°C and melts at 500°C. It is iasoluble ia water and alkaHes, but readily soluble ia nitric and hot acetic acid. Lead metaborate may be produced by a fusion of boric acid with lead carbonate or litharge. It also may be formed as a precipitate when a concentrated solution of lead nitrate is mixed with an excess of borax. The oxides of lead and boron are miscible and form clear lead-borate glasses in the range of 21 to 73 mol % PbO. 

DMPPO and polystyrene form compatible blends. The two components are miscible in all proportions (59). Reported dynamic—mechanical results that indicate the presence of two phases in some blends apparendy are caused by incomplete mixing (60). Transition behavior of thoroughly mixed blends indicates that the polymers are truly compatible on a segmental level (61). CompatibiUty may be attributed to a %— % interaction between the aromatic rings of the two polymers sufficient to produce a negative heat of mixing. However, the forces are very small, ie, = ca40 J/mol (9.6 cal/g), and any...
