As the examples above illustrate, geometric isomers have diflerent physical properties different melting points, boiling points, refractive indices, solubilities, densities, and so on. On the basis of these different physical properties, they can be distinguished from each other and, once the configuration of each has been determined, identified. On the basis of these differences in physical properties they can, in principle at least, be separated. (See Sec. 4.17.)... 

Geometric isomers have different physical properties different melting points, boiling points, refractive indices, solubilities, densities, and so on. Therefore in principle geometric isomers can be separated from each other.

CrossUnking of polymers may substantially alter the physical properties of these polymers (80). For example, crosshnking can change a thermoplastic pol5nner to a thermoset pol5nner, can alter its solubility, density and other physical characteristics. 

Chakactkrisation of Unsaturatkd Aliphatic Hydrocarbons Unlike the saturated hydrocarbons, unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are soluble in concentrated sulphuric acid and exhibit characteristic reactions with dUute potassium permanganate solution and with bromine. Nevertheless, no satisfactory derivatives have yet been developed for these hydrocarbons, and their characterisation must therefore be based upon a determination of their physical properties (boiling point, density and refractive index). The physical properties of a number of selected unsaturated hydrocarbons are collected in Table 111,11. 

Specific rotation is a physical property of a substance just as melting point boil mg point density and solubility are For example the lactic acid obtained from milk is exclusively a single enantiomer We cite its specific rotation m the form [a]o =+3 8° The temperature m degrees Celsius and the wavelength of light at which the measure ment was made are indicated as superscripts and subscripts respectively...

Methylene iodide [75-11-6], CH2I2, also known as diio dome thane, mol wt 267.87, 94.76% I, mp 6.0°C, and bp 181°C, is a very heavy colorless Hquid. It has a density of 3.325 g/mL at 20°C and a refractive index of 1.7538 at 4°C. It darkens in contact with air, moisture, and light. Its solubiHty in water is 1.42 g/100 g H2O at 20°C it is soluble in alcohol, chloroform, ben2ene, and ether. Methylene iodide is prepared by reaction of sodium arsenite and iodoform with sodium hydroxide reaction of iodine, sodium ethoxide, and hydroiodic acid on iodoform the oxidation of iodoacetic acid with potassium persulfate and by reaction of potassium iodide and methylene chloride (124,125). Diiodoform is used for determining the density and refractive index of minerals. It is also used as a starting material in the manufacture of x-ray contrast media and other synthetic pharmaceuticals (qv). 

In terms of the solubilities of solutes in a supercritical phase, the following generalizations can be made. Solute solubiUties in supercritical fluids approach and sometimes exceed those of Hquid solvents as the SCF density increases. SolubiUties typically increase as the pressure is increased. Increasing the temperature can cause increases, decreases, or no change in solute solubiUties, depending on the temperature effect on solvent density and/or the solute vapor pressure. Also, at constant SCF density, a temperature increase increases the solute solubiUty (16). 

Fractionation. Kett-McGee developed the ROSE process for separating the heavy components of cmde oil, eg, asphaltenes, resins, and oils, in the 1950s. This process was commercialized in the late 1970s, when cmde oil and utility costs were no longer inexpensive. In the ROSE process (Fig. 11), residuum and pentane ate mixed and the soluble resins and oils recovered in the supetctitical phase. By stepwise isobatic temperature increases, which decrease solvent density, the resin and oil fractions ate precipitated sequentially. 

The influence of human activities in a stream drainage basin can be relatively simple and direct, as in the disposal of soluble organic and inorganic waste, or more subtie and complex, as in the conversion of prairie or forest land to agricultural use. Such effects can be expected to increase as population density and agricultural, industrial, and mining activities increase. 

The solubihty coefficients are more difficult to predict. Although advances are being made, the best method is probably to use a few known solubility coefficients in the polymer to predict others with a simple plot of S vs ( poiy perm Y where and are the solubility parameters of the polymer and permeant respectively. When insufficient data are available, S at 25°C can be estimated with equation 19 where k = 1 and the resulting units of cal/cm are converted to kj /mol by dividing by the polymer density and multiplying by the molecular mass of the permeant and by 4.184 (16). 

Solid-Fluid Equilibria The phase diagrams of binai y mixtures in which the heavier component (tne solute) is normally a solid at the critical temperature of the light component (the solvent) include solid-liquid-vapor (SLV) cui ves which may or may not intersect the LV critical cui ve. The solubility of the solid is vei y sensitive to pressure and temperature in compressible regions where the solvent s density and solubility parameter are highly variable. In contrast, plots of the log of the solubility versus density at constant temperature exhibit fairly simple linear behavior. 

Since polyethylene is a crystalline hydrocarbon polymer incapable of specific interaction and with a melting point of about 100°C, there are no solvents at room temperature. Low-density polymers will dissolve in benzene at about 60°C but the more crystalline high-density polymers only dissolve at temperatures some 20-30°C higher. Materials of similar solubility parameter and low molecular weight will, however, cause swelling, the more so in low-density polymers Table 10.5). 

Because of the high cohesive energy density and their crystalline state the polymers are soluble only in a few liquids of similar high solubility parameter and which are capable of specific interaction with the polymers.
