Haghtalab, Ali. "Thermodynamics of aqueous electrolyte solutions." Thesis, McGill University, 1990. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=74540.
Full textA new excess Gibbs energy function to represent the deviations from ideality of binary electrolyte solutions was derived. The function consists of two contributions, one due to long-range forces, represented by the Debye-Huckel theory, and the other due to short-range forces represented by the local composition concept. The model is valid for the whole range of electrolyte concentrations, from dilute solutions up to saturation. The model consistently produces better results particularly at the higher concentration regions in which the other models deteriorate.
An electrochemical cell apparatus using Ion-Selective Electrodes (ISE) was constructed to measure the electromotive force (emf) of ions in the aqueous electrolyte mixtures. For the NaCl-NaNO$ sb3$-H$ sb2$O system, the data for the mean ionic activity coefficient of NaCl was obtained in order to show the reproducibility of literature data and to test the validity of the experimental procedure. The data for mean ionic activity coefficient of the following systems were also collected: (1) NaBr-NaNO$ sb3$-H$ sb2$O (a system with common ion); (2) NaBr-Ca(NO$ sb3$)$ sb2$-H$ sb2$O (a system with no-common-ion).
A novel mixing rule was proposed for the mean activity coefficients of electrolytes in mixtures in terms of the mean ionic activity coefficients of electrolytes in the binary solutions. The rule is applicable to multicomponent systems which obey Harned's Rule. Predictions are in excellent agreement with experimental data for ternary systems which follow the Bronsted specific ionic theory.

Full textIt was found that optimizing an ionic molten oxide solution model that was conceptualized to contain Pb2+ and O2- with AsO3-4 and AsO3-3 ions, or with SbO3-4 and SbO3-3 ions in the respective PbO rich regions of the Pb-As-O and the Pb-Sb-O systems, was able to accurately reproduce the measured and published thermodynamic data. It was also found that the subsystems in the PbO-As2O 3-As2O5 and PbO-Sb2O3-Sb 2O5 systems showed small deviation from the ideal ionic solution model and small magnitude excess Gibbs energy parameters were sufficient to fit the predicted liquidus curves to the experimental measurements.
Arsenic in the +3 and +5 oxidation states was measured in the PbO rich region of the Pb-As-O liquid solution in the temperature range of 420°C to 875°C. The variability in the ratio of trivalent arsenic to the total arsenic content, as well as the complex variation of arsenic distribution between metal and oxide phases found strong interaction between the lead, arsenic and oxygen atoms at the 3PbO to 1AS2O3 molar ratio thus suggesting a short range ordering corresponding to the formation of AsO3-3 groupings, and indicating that the Pb3(AsO3) 2(l) species was likely to be present in the PbO rich region of the Pb-As-O system and contributing to an understanding of the Pb-As-O liquid oxide structure. Also, two new compounds (Pb3(AsO3) 2(s), Pb2AsO4(s)) were identified in the Pb-PbO-As 2O3 quenched samples via wavelength-dispersive spectrometry using the electron microprobe. The present work has application in commercial oxygen partial lead softening (OPLS), as uniquely practiced at Teck Cominco Ltd., British Columbia. There, pure oxygen gas is injected into the bath of impure bullion through a number of submerged lances in order to oxidize only part of the arsenic, antimony and tin into a slag phase. For such an operating practice, it was concluded from the visualization and quantitative oxidation experiments that the formation of solid oxides as the product of oxidation produced a physical barrier to the progress of oxidation and resulted in the commercially observed, highly-problematic, process initiation issues. When the product was liquid, there was much less of a barrier to rapid oxygen mass transfer to the minor element impurities and the softening reactions were easy to initiate. Such a change in the physical state of the products of oxidation was correlated to the optimized ternary Pb-As-O and Pb-Sb-O phase diagrams.
A current point of interest in partial lead softening is to increase the arsenic content of the slag phase. Arsenic distribution between lead bullion and slag calculated by the optimized solution model of the Pb-As-O system suggests that this can be achieved in a counter-current contacting of the slag and bullion.

Full textThe activity coefficients of amino acids in aqueous electrolyte solutions were modelled using a two-parameter excess Gibbs free energy model based on the contribution of a long range interaction term represented by the Bromley or the K-V model and a short range interaction term represented by the NRTL or the Wilson model.
A model based on the perturbation of a hard sphere reference system, coupled with a mean spherical approximation model, was also developed to correlate the activity coefficient of the amino acid and the mean ionic activity coefficient of the electrolyte in water-electrolyte-amino acid systems. The model can also predict the activity coefficients of amino acids in aqueous electrolyte solutions, without adjusting any parameter, at low electrolyte concentrations and slightly deviates from the experimental data at higher electrolyte concentrations.
A model was developed to correlate the solubilities of amino acids in aqueous and aqueous electrolyte solutions. The activity coefficients of amino acids in both aqueous and aqueous electrolyte solutions were represented by the perturbed mean spherical approximation model. It was shown that upon availability of independently evaluated experimental data for $ Delta h$ and $ Delta g$, the water-amino acid solubility model can accurately predict the solubility of amino acids in aqueous solutions without any adjustable parameter.

Full textDiagnostic ultrasound is a safe, inexpensive and highly portable real-time imaging modality for viewing the human body. For over two decades, lipid-coated fluorocarbon microbubble contrast agents have been developed to help improve the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of ultrasound, but they have certain limitations. Recently, it was found that the microbubbles can be condensed into superheated liquid nanodrops capable of being vaporized by external optical or acoustic triggers. The compact form and vaporization effects of these phase-shift nanodrops may offer advantages over microbubbles for a number of current and future therapeutic and diagnostic applications. The goal of this dissertation work was to study the molecular thermodynamics and interfacial phenomena of these superheated phase-shift nanodrops.
In the first part of this work, a custom microscopy pressure chamber with control over temperature and pressure was used to observe microbubbles during condensation. Compression behaviors of fluorocarbon microbubbles constructed with lipid shells of varying acyl chain lengths were quantified over a broad temperature range. Microbubbles containing lipids of longer acyl chains were found to resist ideal compression and condensation. Dissolution was found to dominate as temperature approached the lipid main phase transition temperature, resulting in incomplete condensation. However, successful condensation of gas-filled microbubbles to liquid-filled nanodrops could be achieved at lower temperatures, and fluorescence microscopy showed that the lipid monolayer shell buckles and folds into surface-attached bilayer strands. The nanodrops were found to be remarkably stable when brought back to standard temperature and pressure. The temperature-pressure data were used to construct condensation phase diagrams to determine the thresholds for successful nanodrop formation.
In the second part of this study, the superheated nanodrops were vaporized back into microbubbles by changes in temperature and pressure. A custom optical chamber with control over temperature and pressure was used to track the kinetics of condensation, vaporization and dissolution of microbubble suspensions with varying fluorocarbon core and lipid shell compositions. A simple model was used to extract kinetic rates from the optical data, and Arrhenius plots were used to determine activation energies. The activation energy for thermal vaporization was found to vary with lipid acyl chain length, and a simple model of lipid intermolecular forces was used to explain this effect. Additionally, thermal vaporization was found to occur near 90% of the critical temperature of the fluorocarbon core, indicating that metastability of the superheated droplets was due to the low probability of homogenous nucleation rather than a Laplace overpressure. The superheated droplets could be reversibly vaporized and condensed to at least ten cycles, showing remarkable stability.
In the final part of this study, the tunability of vaporization was examined through the mixing of fluorocarbon gases in droplet core. A clinical ultrasound imaging system was used to track vaporization as a function of temperature and mechanical index. Discrepancies were found in the vaporization thresholds owing to mass transfer; the high solubility of the lower fluorocarbon caused it to rapidly deplete. However, a successful acoustic temperature probe was demonstrated. The experimental data from all three parts of this study were examined and explained by conventional molecular thermodynamics theory, providing new insights into the behavior and properties of these novel theranostic agents.

The focus of this thesis work is the application of non-equilibrium thermodynamics in lithium-ion battery modeling. As the demand for higher power and longer lasting batteries increases, the search for materials suitable for this task continues. Traditional battery modeling uses dilute solution kinetics and a fit form of the open circuit potential to model the discharge. This work expands on this original set of equations to include concentrated solution kinetics as well as thermodynamics-based modeling of the open circuit potential. This modification is advantageous because it does not require the cell to be built in order to be modeled. Additionally, this modification also allows phase separating materials to be modeled directly using phase field models. This is especially useful for materials such as lithium iron phosphate and graphite, which are currently modeled using a fit open circuit potential and an artificial phase boundary (in the case of lithium iron phosphate). This thesis work begins with a derivation of concentrated solution theory, beginning with a general reaction rate framework and transition state theory. This derivation includes an overview of the thermodynamic definitions used in this thesis. After the derivation, transport and conduction in porous media are considered. Effective transport properties for porous media are presented using various applicable models. Combining concentrated solution theory, mass conservation, charge conservation, and effective porous media properties, the modified porous electrode theory equations are derived. This framework includes equations to model mass and charge conservation in the electrolyte, mass conservation in the solid intercalation particles, and electron conservation in the conducting matrix. These mass and charge conservation equations are coupled to self-consistent models of the charge transfer reaction and the Nernst potential. The Nernst potential is formulated using the same thermodynamic expressions used in the mass conservation equation for the intercalation particles. The charge transfer reaction is also formulated using the same thermodynamic expressions, and is presented in a form similar to the Butler-Volmer equation, which determines the reaction rate based on the local overpotential. This self-consistent set of equations allows both homogeneous and phase separating intercalation materials to be modeled. After the derivation of the set of equations, the numerical methods used to solve the equations in this work are presented, including the finite volume method and solution methods for differential algebraic equations. Then, example simulations at constant current are provided for homogeneous and phase separating materials to demonstrate the effect of changing the solid diffusivity and discharge rate on the cell voltage. Other effects, such as coherency strain, are also presented to demonstrate their effect on the behavior of particles inside the cell (e.g. suppression of phase separation). After the example simulations, specific simulations for two phase separating materials are presented and compared to experiment. These simulations include slow discharge of a lithium iron phosphate cell at constant current, and electrolyte-limited discharge of a graphite cell at constant potential. These two simulations are shown to agree very well with experimental data. In the last part of this thesis, the most recent work is presented, which is based on modeling lithium iron phosphate particles including coherency strain and surface wetting. These results are qualitatively compared with experimental data. Finally, future work in this area is considered, along with a summary of the thesis.
