Volatilization temperature dependence

Moderately Volatile Ma.teria.ls, For moderately volatile materials, such as the amines commonly used in feedwater and boiler water chemical treatment, the distribution ratios vary from 0.1 to 30 for gases, the ratios are much higher. The distribution ratios of amines and organic acids are generally temperature-dependent. The distribution ratios for ammonia [7664-41-7] morpholine [110-91-8] and acetic acid [64-19-7] are shown in Figure 16 as examples. 

For experiments conducted at constant pressure, the second term ia equation 36 disappears. The expression for the temperature dependence is then obtained by performing an indefinite integration on the remainder of the equation after assuming that the enthalpy change of volatilization, (/i. — hp ), is constant with respect to temperature. The resulting equation is... 

Various amines find application for pH control. The most commonly used are ammonia, morpholine, cyclohexylamine, and, more recently AMP (2-amino-2-methyl-l-propanol). The amount of each needed to produce a given pH depends upon the basicity constant, and values of this are given in Table 17.4. The volatility also influences their utility and their selection for any particular application. Like other substances, amines tend towards equilibrium concentrations in each phase of the steam/water mixture, the equilibrium being temperature dependent. Values of the distribution coefficient, Kp, are also given in Table 17.4. These factors need to be taken into account when estimating the pH attainable at any given point in a circuit so as to provide appropriate protection for each location. 

Diffusion of a reactive component or a volatile constituent into or out of a material is also a temperature dependent rate phenomenon, as ... 

For the monomers in the polymerization under consideration the fugacity coefficients were estimated by Redlich-Kwong equation of state and were found to be close to unity. The activity coefficients (8) for the monomers were estimated by Scatchard-Hildebrand s method (5) for the most volatile monomer there was a temperature dependence but none for the other monomer. These were later confirmed by applying the UNIFAC method (6). The saturation vapor pressures were calculated by Antoine coefficients (5). 

The reaction of volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons with hydroxyl radicals is temperature dependent and thus varies with the seasons, although such variation in the atmospheric concentration of trichloroethylene may be minimal because of its brief residence time (EPA 1985c). The degradation products of this reaction include phosgene, dichloroacetyl chloride, and formyl chloride (Atkinson 1985 Gay et al. 1976 Kirchner et al. 1990). Reaction of trichloroethylene with ozone in the atmosphere is too slow to be an effective agent in trichloroethylene removal (Atkinson and Carter 1984).

The rate of volatilization will also increase with an increase in temperature, ten Hulscher et al. (1992) studied the temperature dependence of Henry s law constants for three chlorobenzenes, three chlorinated biphenyls, and six polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. They observed that within the temperature range of 10 to 55 °C, Henry s law corrstant doubled for every 10 °C increase in temperature. This temperature relationship should be corrsidered when assessing the role of chemical volatilization from large surface water bodies whose temperatines are generally higher than those typically observed in groimdwater.

PBS (Figure 30) is an alternating copolymer of sulfur dioxide and 1-butene. It undergoes efficient main chain scission upon exposure to electron beam radiation to produce, as major scission products, sulfur dioxide and the olefin monomer. Exposure results first in scission of the main chain carbon-sulfur bond, followed by depolymerization of the radical (and cationic) fragments to an extent that is temperature dependent and results in evolution of the volatile monomers species. The mechanism of the radiochemical degradation of polyolefin sulfones has been the subject of detailed studies by O Donnell et. al. (.41).

Vehicle volatility requirements are a strong function of ambient temperatures. ASTM has defined five volatility classes based on expected minimum and maximum daily temperatures. These classes and their ranges are shown in Table 3. Each month, each state is assigned a volatility class, depending on its temperature history. Table 3 also shows the ASTM volatility specifications for each class. 

Vapor pressure is the pressure of a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid or solid form. It is temperature dependent, and expressed in mm Hg or torr. It is a characteristic of the volatility of a substance. The higher the vapor pressure of a substance, the more volatile it is. Vapor pressure data in this text are presented at the temperature 20°C.
