Solute classes

The drying mechanisms of desiccants may be classified as foUows Class 1 chemical reaction, which forms either a new compound or a hydrate Class 2 physical absorption with constant relative humidity or vapor pressure (solid + water + saturated solution) Class 3 physical absorption with variable relative humidity or vapor pressure (soHd or liquid + water + diluted solution) and Class 4 physical adsorption. 

In Example 1 the solute, acetone, contains a ketone carbonyl group which is a hydrogen acceptor, i.e., solute class 5 according to Table 15-4. This solute is to be extracted from water with chloroform solvent which contains a hydrogen donor group, i.e., solvent class 4. The solute class 5 and solvent class 4 interaction in Table 15-4 is shown to give a negative deviation from Raonlt s law. 

Smith and Udseth [154] first described SFE-MS in 1983. Direct fluid injection (DFT) mass spectrometry (DFT-MS, DFI-MS/MS) utilises supercritical fluids for solvation and transfer of materials to a mass-spectrometer chemical ionisation (Cl) source. Extraction with scC02 is compatible with a variety of Cl reagents, which allow a sensitive and selective means for ionising the solute classes of interest. If the interfering effects of the sample matrix cannot be overcome by selective ionisation, techniques based on tandem mass spectrometry can be used [7]. In these cases, a cheaper and more attractive alternative is often to perform some form of chromatography between extraction and detection. In SFE-MS, on-line fractionation using pressure can be used to control SCF solubility to a limited extent. The main features of on-line SFE-MS are summarised in Table 7.20. It appears that the direct introduction into a mass spectrometer of analytes dissolved in supercritical fluids without on-line chromatography has not actively been pursued. 

In addition to these three major classes of electrolyte systems, there are also reports on the successful deposition of aluminum from AlCl3 LiCl solutions in dimethyl sulfone [(CH3)2S02] [478,479], Aluminum is deposited in these systems from the complex A1[(CH3)2S02]33+ [479], The above systems differ from each other in their ionic structure, conductance mechanism, and the mechanism of A1 deposition [480], In the ethereal solutions (class 1) containing A1C13 and... 

The following scheme of classification has been found to work well in practice it is not a rigid one since some of the anions belong to more than one of the subdivisions, and, furthermore, it has no theoretical basis. Essentially the processes employed may be divided into (A) those involving the identification by volatile products obtained on treatment with acids, and (B) those dependent upon reactions in solution. Class (A) is subdivided into (i) gases evolved with dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sulphuric acid, and (ii) gases or vapours evolved with concentrated sulphuric acid. Class (B) is subdivided into (i) precipitation reactions, and (ii) oxidation and reduction in solution. 

Solvent Regression Equations. The selection of the appropriate solvent regression equation sometimes depends upon the nature of the solute. Table 1-8 lists a number of solute classes in two basic groups A (hydrogen donors) and B (hydrogen acceptors). Table 1-9 provides values of a and b for the basic set of solvent regression equations (Eq. 1-7 to -37), all of which are of the form shown in Eq. 1-6. If the solute (the chemical for which Kow is to be calculated) is listed under Group A or B in Table 1-8 and if the solvent (associated with the available KSw value) is one of those listed in the first two sections of Table 1-9, then a choice between two equations must be made. For example, if a value of Ksw is available from the xylene/water system, one must choose between Eqs. 1-10 and 1-21. The choice depends on where the solute is listed in Table 1-8 — e.g., Eq. 1-10 would be used if the solute were an alcohol, and Eq. 1-21 would be used if it were an ether. 

If the solvent is one of those listed in the third section (set "C ) of Table 1 9, the appropriate equation (from Eqs. 1-27 to -35) is selected irrespective of the solute class. Three equations are available for the instances when Ksw is from the carbon tetrachloride/water or chloro-form/water systems 1-9, -20, and -36 for the former and 1-13, -24, and -37 for the latter. Footnote a of Table 1-8 explains how the correct equation is selected based upon considerations of solute class. 

For the oieyl alcohol number, only one equation (Eq. 1-27) is available in Table 1-9 there is no choice to be made based on solute class. Substituting in Eq. 1-27 ... 

For a solute-specific evaluation of the COSMO-RS prediction quality, solubility data of various solute classes in (HMIMjlNTfjj as an example are chosen. Because of the fact that this particular IL is selected by the lUPAC as a primary standard, a broad database of solute solubility data is available. 

Solubilities of any organic compound can be predicted by COSMO-RS in any IL. A variation of the solute class or the cation yields comparable quality, with an average prediction quality of A ln(y) < 0.5. However, a change of the anion may lead to a larger deviation of the predicted value from the experimental one. In order to account for possible critical anions, the respective cr-profiles can be analyzed. Figure 9.13 shows a compilation of cr-profiles for common cations and anions. While the cations show similar behavior, the profiles...
