QSPR predicting the vapor pressure of pesticides into high/low volatility classes. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:1395-1402. [PMID: 38038924 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-31235-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the vapor pressure of pesticides is employed as an indicator of their volatility potential. Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship models are established to predict the classification of compounds according to their volatility, into the high and low binary classes separated by the 1-mPa limit. A large dataset of 1005 structurally diverse pesticides with known experimental vapor pressure data at 20 °C is compiled from the publicly available Pesticide Properties DataBase (PPDB) and used for model development. The freely available PaDEL-Descriptor and ISIDA/Fragmentor molecular descriptor programs provide a large number of 19,947 non-conformational molecular descriptors that are analyzed through multivariable linear regressions and the Replacement Method technique. Through the selection of appropriate molecular descriptors of the substructure fragment type and the use of different standard classification metrics of model's quality, the classification of the structure-property relationship achieves acceptable results for discerning between the high and low volatility classes. Finally, an application of the obtained QSPR model is performed to predict the classes for 504 pesticides not having experimentally measured vapor pressures.

Expanding the applicability domain of QSPRs for predicting water solubility and vapor pressure of PFAS. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 340:139965. [PMID: 37633602 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 08/28/2023]
Abstract
This work aimed to verify whether it is possible to extend the applicability domain (AD) of existing QSPR (Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship) models by employing a strategy involving additional quantum-chemical calculations. We selected two published QSPR models: for water solubility, logSW, and vapor pressure, logVP of PFAS as case studies. We aimed to enlarge set of compounds used to build the model by applying factorial planning to plan the augmentation of the set of these compounds based on their structural features (descriptors). Next, we used the COSMO-RS model to calculate the logSW and logVP for selected chemicals. This allowed filling gaps in the experimental data for further training QSPR models. We improved the published models by significantly extending number of compounds for which theoretical predictions are reliable (i.e., extending the AD). Additionally, we performed external validation that had not been carried out in original models. To test effectiveness of the AD extension, we screened 4519 PFAS from NORMAN Database. The number of compounds outside the domain was reduced comparing the original model for both properties. Our work shows that combining physics-based methods with data-driven models can significantly improve the performance of predictions of phys-chem properties relevant for the chemical risk assessment.

Dataset of monthly downscaled future vapor pressure projections for the conterminous USA for RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 compatible with NEX-DCP30. Data Brief 2023; 48:109169. [PMID: 37168596 PMCID: PMC10165200 DOI: 10.1016/j.dib.2023.109169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Models that simulate ecosystems at local to regional scales require relatively fine resolution climate data. Many methods exist that downscale the native resolution output from global climate models (GCM) to finer resolutions. NASA NEX-DCP30 is a statistically downscaled 30 arcsecond resolution climate dataset widely used for climate change impact studies in the conterminous USA (CONUS), but it did not include vapor pressure data which is essential for many types of models. We downscaled vapor pressure data from 28 global climate models included in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) to 30 arcsecond resolution for CONUS to augment the NEX-DCP30 dataset. Monthly vapor pressure values were calculated from raw GCM output for the conterminous USA from 1950 to 2100, representing RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 climate change scenarios. Vapor pressure data were then downscaled from the GCM's native spatial resolutions to 30 arcsecond using the Bias Correction-Spatial Disaggregation (BCSD) statistical downscaling method, which had been used to create the original NEX-DCP30 dataset. PRISM LT71m gridded climate data for 1970-1999 served as the reference data. The newly created downscaled vapor pressure dataset may be used in conjunction with the existing NEX-DCP30 data as input for vegetation, fire, drought, or earth system models. The data is available at the Forest Service Research Data Archive.

Assessment of physicochemical properties of sorbent materials in passive and active sampling systems towards gaseous nitrogen-containing compounds. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1703:464119. [PMID: 37271082 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.464119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
The adsorption and desorption behavior of volatile nitrogen-containing compounds in vapor phase by solid-phase microextraction Arrow (SPME-Arrow) and in-tube extraction (ITEX) sampling systems, were investigated experimentally using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Three different SPME-Arrow coating materials, DVB/PDMS, MCM-41, and MCM-41-TP and two ITEX adsorbents, TENAX-GR and MCM-41-TP were compared to clarify the selectivity of the sorbents towards nitrogen-containing compounds. In addition, saturated vapor pressures for these compounds were estimated, both experimentally and theoretically. In this study, the adsorption of nitrogen-containing compounds on various adsorbents followed the Elovich model well, while a pseudo-first-order kinetics model best described the desorption kinetics. Pore volume and pore sizes of the coating sorbents were essential parameters for the determination of the adsorption performance for the SPME-Arrow sampling system. MCM-41-TP coating with the smallest pore size gave the slowest adsorption rate compared to that of DVB/PDMS and MCM-41 in the SPME-Arrow sampling system. Both adsorbent and adsorbate properties, such as hydrophobicity and basicity, affected the adsorption and desorption kinetics in SPME-Arrow system. The adsorption and desorption rates of studied C6H15N isomers in the MCM-41 and MCM-41-TP sorbent materials of SPME-Arrow system were higher for dipropylamine and triethylamine (branched amines) than for hexylamine (linear chain amines). DVB/PDMS-SPME-Arrow gave fast adsorption rates for the aromatic-ringed pyridine and o-toluidine. All studied nitrogen-containing compounds demonstrated high desorption rates with DVB/PDMS-SPME-Arrow. Chemisorption and physisorption were the sorption mechanisms in MCM-41- and MCM-41-TP- SPME-Arrow, but additional experiments are needed to confirm this. An active sampling technique ITEX gave comparable adsorption and desorption rates on the selective MCM-41-TP and universal TENAX-GR sorbent materials for all the compounds studied. Vapor pressures of nitrogen-containing compounds were experimentally estimated by using retention index approach and these values were compared with the theoretical ones, calculated using the COnductor-like Screening MOdel for Real Solvent (COSMO-RS) model. Both values agreed well with those found in the literature proving that these methods can be successfully used in predicting VOC's vapor pressures, e.g. for the formation of secondary organic aerosols.

Sonoluminescence intensity and ultrasonic cavitation temperature in organic solvents: Effects of generated radicals. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 95:106357. [PMID: 36913783 PMCID: PMC10025144 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Ultrasonic cavitation in organic solvents remains poorly understood in contrast with aqueous systems, largely because of complexities related to solvent decomposition. In this study, we sonicated different types of organic solvents (i.e. linear alkanes, aliphatic alcohols, aromatic alcohols, and acetate esters) under argon saturation. The average temperature of the cavitation bubbles was estimated using the methyl radical recombination method. We also discuss the effects of the physical properties of the solvents, such as vapor pressure and viscosity, on the cavitation temperature. The average cavitation bubble temperature and sonoluminescence intensity were higher in organic solvents with lower vapor pressure; for aromatic alcohols, these values were particularly high. It was found that the specific high sonoluminescence intensities and average cavitation temperatures exhibited in aromatic alcohols are caused by the highly resonance-stable generated radicals. The results obtained in this study are very useful for acceleration of sonochemical reaction in organic solvents, which are indispensable for organic synthesis and material synthesis.

Unraveling the regulating mechanisms of moisture content in the puffing of sweet potato starch gel. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 233:123490. [PMID: 36736983 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Starch-based puffed crisps are a major group of popular snacks. In this work, the effects and underlying mechanisms of moisture content (MC) on the puffing of sweet potato starch gels were explored. The results showed that the gel with 12 % MC generated the highest puffing ratio (8.96), then followed by gels with 16 % MC (8.45) and 8 % MC (8.28). All starch gels presented a two-stage puffing pattern, but their evolutions with the heating temperature were highly dependent on the MC of gels. The relative puffing area percentages of gels with 8 % MC, 12 % MC and 16 % MC in the first (second) stages were 57.64 % (42.36 %), 60.66 % (39.34 %), and 18.36 % (81.64 %), respectively. The final pores in puffed products originated from the small water clusters that were regionalized in gel cells. The air cells started to expand as the gels with 8 % MC, 12 % MC and 16 % MC respectively reached the glass transition temperatures of 158.45 °C, 142.15 °C and 111.03 °C. The puffing was a joint consequence of the extensibility of cell walls and the pressure of water vapor in cells and the MC of the gels could regulate both of them. This study would facilitate the production of starch snacks with higher quality.

Application of gas chromatographic retention times to determine physicochemical properties of nitrated, oxygenated, and parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 294:118644. [PMID: 34875266 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118644] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/04/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Nitrated and oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs and OPAHs) are receiving attention because of their high toxicity compared with parent PAHs. However, the experimental data of their physicochemical properties has been limited. This study proposed the gas chromatographic retention time (GC-RT) technique as an effective alternative one to determine octanol-air partition coefficients (KOA) and sub-cooled liquid vapor pressures (PL) for 11 NPAHs, 10 OPAHs, and 19 parent PAHs. The slopes and intercepts of the linear regressions between temperature versus KOA and PL were provided and can be used to estimate KOA and PL for the 40 targeted compounds at any temperature. The internal energies of phase transfer (ΔUOA) and enthalpies of vaporization (ΔHL) for all targeted compounds were also calculated using the GC-RT technique. High-molecular-weight compounds may release or absorb higher heat energy to transform between different phases. NPAHs and OPAHs had a non-ideal solution behavior with activity in octanol (γoct) in the range of 19-53 and 18-1,078, respectively, which is larger than the unity threshold. A comparison among four groups of PAH derivatives showed that a functional group (nitro-, oxygen-, chloro-, and bromo-) in PAH derivatives increased γoct for corresponding parent PAHs by tens (mono-group) to hundreds of times (di-group). This study suggests that the GC-RT method is applicable for indirectly measuring the physicochemical properties of various groups of organic compounds.

Environmental controls and influences of Pinus roxburghii Sarg. (Chir pine) plantation on temporal variation in soil carbon dioxide emission and soil organic carbon stock under humid subtropical region. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT 2021; 193:630.

Abstract
Soil carbon dioxide emission is a major component of ecosystem respiration, responsible for organic carbon losses from the ecosystem. In Pinus roxburghii Sarg. plantations, higher CO2 emission coincided with maximum soil moisture and soil temperature during the rainy season (4.23 µmol CO2m-2 s-1) followed by summer season (1.69 µmol CO2m-2 s-1) and winter season (1.35 µmol CO2m-2 s-1). The soil CO2 emission rates recorded during the rainy season differed significantly from other seasons (p < 0.05). Multiple linear regression revealed that rainfall was the main dominant factor affecting the soil CO2 emission. A significant positive correlation with minimum air temperature and average air temperature during the lag period, i.e., preceding 15 days of data, was recorded. A significant positive correlation was also observed between annual soil CO2 emission rates with soil temperature, soil moisture, air temperature, and rainfall (p < 0.05). Vapor pressure and relative humidity at 14.19 h also emerged as additional scientific variables affecting soil CO2 emission with significant positive correlations. Annual soil CO2 emission rates and soil properties were not significantly correlated but were positively correlated with organic carbon, exchangeable potassium and negatively correlated with available nitrogen and phosphorous (p > 0.05). Higher annual average carbon stock, 95.05 t ha-1 in P. roxburghii plantations than the yearly soil CO2 emission, 33.23 t ha-1 indicates that plantations sequester more carbon than the emissions.

Evaporation of mixed citric acid/(NH 4) 2SO 4/H 2O particles: Volatility of organic aerosol by using optical tweezers. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2020; 226:117552. [PMID: 31629977 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2019.117552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2019] [Revised: 08/26/2019] [Accepted: 09/17/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The condensation and evaporation processes of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in atmospheric aerosols can induce significant evolutions of their chemical and physical properties. Hence, for interpreting and predicting composition changes of atmospheric aerosols, it is indispensable to provide insight into the partitioning behaviors of SVOCs between condensed and gas phases. In this research, optical tweezers coupled with cavity-enhanced Raman spectroscopy were employed to observe the volatility of internally mixed citric acid (CA)/(NH4)2SO4 (AS) particles, and the effect of AS on the gas/particle partitioning behaviors of atmospheric organic acids was investigated. The radii and refractive indexes of the levitated droplets were determined in real time from the wavelength positions of simulated Raman spectra and the effective vapor pressures of CA at different relative humidities (RHs) were obtained according to Maxwell equation. For the CA/AS particle with organic to inorganic mole ratio (OIR) of 1:1, the effective vapor pressure of CA decreased with the decreasing of RH. When the RH decreased from 67% to 8.2%, the effective vapor pressure of CA decreased from (1.35±0.508)×10-4Pa to (3.0±1.0)×10-6Pa. Meanwhile, the CA/AS particles with OIR of 3:1, 1:3 were also studied, and the results show the same phenomenon compared to the particles with OIR of 1:1. When under constant RHs, the effective vapor pressures of CA decreased with the increasing of AS contents, suggesting that the presence of AS suppressed the partitioning of CA to aqueous particles. In addition, the mass transfer processes of water in CA and CA/AS/H2O systems were further studied. The characteristic time ratio between the droplet radius and RH was used to describe the water mass transfer difference dependent on RH. Compared to the characteristic time ratio of pure CA, the characteristic time ratio of CA/AS particles apparently increased. For CA/AS particles under the same RH steps, the characteristic time ratio increased with the AS content increase. According to the differential isotherm, the diffusion coefficients of citric acid and citric acid/ammonium sulfate at low RHs (RH ≈7%-1%, RH≈1%-7%) were calculated respectively. Generally, the key aspect of the current work was to deeply explore the relationship between the evaporation rates of SVOCs and water transport process.

Thermodynamic properties of some isomeric 5-(nitrophenyl)-furyl-2 derivatives. BMC Chem 2019; 13:105.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the current work was to determine thermodynamical properties of 5-(nitrophenyl)-2-furaldehyde oximes and 3-[5-(nitrolphenyl)-2-furyl]acrylic acids. RESULTS The temperature dependences of saturated vapor pressures of 5-(nitrophenyl)-2-furaldehyde oximes and 3-[5-(nitrolphenyl)-2-furyl]acrylic acids were determined by the Knudsen effusion method. The results are presented by the Clapeyron-Clausius equation in linear form, and via this form, the standard enthalpies of sublimation of compounds were calculated at 298.15 K. The standard molar formation enthalpies of compounds in crystalline state at 298.15 K were determined indirectly from the corresponding standard molar combustion enthalpy, obtained using combustion bomb calorimetry. The non-nearest neighbour interactions (strain) in molecule were defined. The ideal-gas enthalpies of investigated compounds formation and the data available from the literature were used for calculation of group-additivity parameters and the correction terms useful in the application of the Benson correlation. CONCLUSION Determining the thermodynamic properties for these compounds will contribute to solving practical problems pertaining to optimization processes of their synthesis, purification and application. It will also provide a more thorough insight regarding the theoretical knowledge of their nature and are necessary for the application of the Benson group-contribution correlation for calculation of Δ f H m ( 298.15 K ) o (g)calc.

Effects of desiccation stress on adult female longevity in Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae): results of a systematic review and pooled survival analysis. Parasit Vectors 2018; 11:267.

Abstract
Background Transmission dynamics of mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya are affected by the longevity of the adult female mosquito. Environmental conditions influence the survival of adult female Aedes mosquitoes, the primary vectors of these viruses. While the association of temperature with Aedes mortality has been relatively well-explored, the role of humidity is less established. The current study’s goals were to compile knowledge of the influence of humidity on adult survival in the important vector species Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus, and to quantify this relationship while accounting for the modifying effect of temperature. Methods We performed a systematic literature review to identify studies reporting experimental results informing the relationships among temperature, humidity and adult survival in Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus. Using a novel simulation approach to harmonize disparate survival data, we conducted pooled survival analyses via stratified and mixed effects Cox regression to estimate temperature-dependent associations between humidity and mortality risk for these species across a broad range of temperatures and vapor pressure deficits. Results After screening 1517 articles, 17 studies (one in semi-field and 16 in laboratory settings) met inclusion criteria and collectively reported results for 192 survival experiments. We review and synthesize relevant findings from these studies. Our stratified model estimated a strong temperature-dependent association of humidity with mortality in both species, though associations were not significant for Ae. albopictus in the mixed effects model. Lowest mortality risks were estimated around 27.5 °C and 21.5 °C for Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus, respectively, and mortality increased non-linearly with decreasing humidity. Aedes aegypti had a survival advantage relative to Ae. albopictus in the stratified model under most conditions, but species differences were not significant in the mixed effects model. Conclusions Humidity is associated with mortality risk in adult female Ae. aegypti in controlled settings. Data are limited at low humidities, temperature extremes, and for Ae. albopictus, and further studies should be conducted to reduce model uncertainty in these contexts. Desiccation is likely an important factor in Aedes population dynamics and viral transmission in arid regions. Models of Aedes-borne virus transmission may be improved by more comprehensively representing humidity effects.

Independent and interactive effects of ambient temperature and absolute humidity on the risks of avian influenza A(H7N9) infection in China. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2018; 619-620:1358-1365.

Abstract
The emergence of avian influenza A(H7N9) virus poses a pandemic threat to human beings. It was proposed that meteorological factors might be important environmental factors favoring the occurrence of H7N9 infection, but evidence is still inadequate. In this study, we aimed to investigate the independent and interactive effects of ambient temperature (TM) and absolute humidity (AH) on H7N9 infection risks in China. The individual information of all reported H7N9 cases and daily meteorological data in five provinces/municipality (Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Fujian, and Guangdong) in China during 2013-2016 were collected. We employed a case-crossover study design, in which the 7-10days before the onset date of each H7N9 case was defined as the hazard period, and 4weeks before the hazard period was taken as the control period. The average levels of meteorological factors were calculated during the hazard and control periods. A Cox regression model was used to estimate the independent and interactive effects of TM and vapor pressure (VP), an indicator of AH, on H7N9 infection risks. A total of 738 H7N9 cases were included in the present study. Significantly nonlinear negative associations of TM and VP with H7N9 infection risks were observed in all cases, and in cases from northern and southern regions. There were significant interactive effects between TM and VP on H7N9 infection risks, and the risks of H7N9 infection were higher in cold-dry days than other days. We further observed different risky windows of H7N9 infection in the northern (TM: 0-18°C, VP: 313mb) and southern areas (TM: 7-21°C, VP: 3-17mb). We concluded that ambient temperature and absolute humidity had significant independent and interactive effects on H7N9 infection risks in China, and the risks of H7N9 infection were higher in cold-dry days. The risky windows of H7N9 infection were different in the northern and southern areas.

Abstract
In this work, several simple new equations for predicting important environmental mobility properties, at T = 298.15 K, were derived for halogenated benzenes: standard Gibbs energy of hydration, aqueous solubility, octanol-water partition coefficients, and Henry's law constants. A discussion on our previous estimates of other related properties (standard Gibbs energy and vapor pressure of sublimation and of vaporization) and their relation with entropy of fusion is also presented. As we aimed to estimate these properties for any of the ca. 1500 halogenated benzenes that may exist theoretically, an equation for estimating the temperature of fusion was also derived, since some of the proposed predictive equations (solubility of solids and Gibbs energy of sublimation) require its knowledge. For the other estimated properties just the number of each halogen that replaces hydrogen atoms in the halogenated benzene is needed. It was found that the coefficients that multiply the number of halogen atoms in the predictive equations vary linearly with the volume of the halogen atom.

Understanding interactions in the adsorption of gaseous organic compounds to indoor materials. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 24:5654-5668.

Abstract
We studied adsorption of organic compounds to a wide range of indoor materials, including plastics, gypsum board, carpet, and many others, under various relative humidity conditions by applying a conceptual model of the free energy of interfacial interactions of both van der Waals and Lewis acid-base (e-donor/acceptor) types. Data used for the analyses were partitioning coefficients of adsorbates between surface and gas phase obtained from three sources: our sorption experiments and two other published studies. Target organic compounds included apolars, monopolars, and bipolars. We established correlations of partitioning coefficients of adsorbates for a considered surface with the corresponding hexadecane/air partitioning coefficients of the adsorbates which are used as representative of a van der Waals descriptor instead of vapor pressure. The logarithmic adsorption coefficients of the apolars and weak bases, e.g., aliphatics and aromatics, to indoor materials linearly correlates well with the logarithmic hexadecane/air partitioning coefficients regardless of the surface polarity. The surface polarity in terms of e-donor/acceptor interactions becomes important for adsorption of the strong bases and bipolars, e.g., amines, phenols, and alcohols, to unpainted gypsum board. Under dry or humid conditions, the adsorption to flat plastic materials still linearly correlates well with the van der Waals interactions of the adsorbates, but no correlations were observed for the adsorption to fleecy or plush materials, e.g., carpet. Adsorption of highly bipolar compounds, e.g., phenol and isopropanol, is strongly affected by humidity, attributed to Lewis acid-base interactions with modified surfaces.

[PMID: 27424058 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2016.06.111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2016] [Revised: 06/06/2016] [Accepted: 06/29/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Temperature dependences of vapor pressures for 2-, 3-, and 4-bromobenzoic acid, as well as for five isomeric bromo-methylbenzoic acids were studied by the transpiration method. Melting temperatures and enthalpies of fusion for all isomeric bromo-methylbenzoic acids and 4-bromobenzoic acid were measured with a DSC. The molar enthalpies of sublimation and vaporization were derived. These data together with results available in the literature were collected and checked for internal consistency using a group-additivity procedure and results from X-ray structural diffraction studies. Specific (hydrogen bonding) interactions in the liquid and in the crystal phase of halogenbenzoic acids were quantified based on experimental values of vaporization and sublimation enthalpies. Structure-property correlations of solubilities of halogenobenzoic acids with sublimation pressures and sublimation enthalpies were developed and solubilities of bromo-benzoic acids were estimated. These new results resolve much of the ambiguity in the available thermochemical and solubility data on bromobenzoic acids. The approach based on structure property correlations can be applied for the assessment of water solubility of sparingly soluble drugs.

Study on the volatility of halogenated fluorenes. CHEMOSPHERE 2016; 157:25-32. [PMID: 27206270 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2016.05.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2016] [Revised: 05/04/2016] [Accepted: 05/06/2016] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
This work reports the experimental determination of relevant thermophysical properties of five halogenated fluorenes. The vapor pressures of the compounds studied were measured at different temperatures using two different experimental techniques. The static method was used for studying 2-fluorofluorene (liquid and crystal vapor pressures between 321.04 K and 411.88 K), 2-iodofluorene (liquid and crystal vapor pressures between 362.63 K and 413.86 K), and 2,7-dichlorofluorene (crystal vapor pressures between 364.64 K and 394.22 K). The Knudsen effusion method was employed to determine the vapor pressures of 2,7-difluorofluorene (crystal vapor pressures between 299.17 K and 321.19 K), 2,7-diiodofluorene (crystal vapor pressures between 393.19 K and 415.14 K), and (again) 2-iodofluorene (crystal vapor pressures between 341.16 K and 361.12 K). The temperatures and the molar enthalpies of fusion of the five compounds were determined using differential scanning calorimetry. The application to halogenated fluorenes of recently developed methods for predicting vapor pressures and enthalpies of sublimation and vaporization of substituted benzenes is also discussed.

Measurement of Temperature Dependence for Vapor Pressures of Seventeen OH-PBDEs and Eleven MeO-PBDEs by Gas Chromatographic Method. BULLETIN OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICOLOGY 2016; 96:657-663. [PMID: 27000378 DOI: 10.1007/s00128-016-1778-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2015] [Accepted: 03/11/2016] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
Hydroxylated polybromodiphenyl ethers (OH-PBDEs) and methoxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (MeO-PBDEs) are emerging organic pollutants. Supercooled liquid vapor pressures (p L) and enthalpies of vaporization (∆vap H) for seventeen OH-PBDEs and eleven MeO-PBDEs were determined by a gas chromatographic technique. p L at 298 K ranged from 0.0173 Pa for 2'-OH-BDE3 to 2.32 × 10(-7) Pa for 3'-OH-BDE154 and they are approximately one order of magnitude smaller than those determined for the counterpart polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). ∆vap H was in the range of 76-121 kJ/mol. The temperature dependence of p L was measured by fitting the experimental data with the log(p L/Pa) = a/(T/K) + b equation, and this corresponds to a 50-265 times higher p L value at 0 versus 30°C. Using fundamental quantum chemical descriptors, two quantitative structure-property relationship models (Q cum > 0.935) were developed to estimate p L at any temperature for the additional OH- and MeO-PBDE congeners.

Abstract
This work reports the experimental determination of relevant thermodynamic properties and the characterization of luminescence properties of the following polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): 2,6-diethylnaphthalene, 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene and 2,6-di-tert-butylnaphthalene. The standard (p(o) = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of combustion, ΔcHm(o), of the three compounds were determined using static bomb combustion calorimetry. The vapor pressures of the crystalline phase of 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene and 2,6-di-tert-butylnaphthalene were measured at different temperatures using the Knudsen effusion method and the vapor pressures of both liquid and crystalline phases of 2,6-diethylnaphthalene were measured by means of a static method. The temperatures and the molar enthalpies of fusion of the three compounds were determined using differential scanning calorimetry. The gas-phase molar heat capacities and absolute entropies of the three 2,6-dialkylnaphthalenes studied were determined computationally. The thermodynamic stability of the compounds in both the crystalline and gaseous phases was evaluated by the determination of the Gibbs energies of formation and compared with the ones reported in the literature for 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene. From fluorescence spectroscopy measurements, the optical properties of the compounds studied and of naphthalene were evaluated in solution and in the solid state.

Abstract
Background The aim of the current work was to determine thermo dynamical properties of 5(2-nitro phenyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde, 5(3-nitro phenyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde and 5(4-nitro phenyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde. Results The temperature dependence of saturated vapor pressure of 5(2-nitro phenyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde, 5(3-nitro phenyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde and 5(4-nitro phenyl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde was determined by Knudsen’s effusion method. The results are presented by the Clapeyron–Clausius equation in linear form, and via this form, the standard enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies of sublimation and evaporation of compounds were calculated at 298.15 K. The standard molar formation enthalpies of compounds in crystalline state at 298.15 K were determined indirectly by the corresponding standard molar combustion enthalpy, obtained using bomb calorimetry combustion. Conclusions Determination of the thermodynamic properties for these compounds may contribute to solving practical problems pertaining optimization processes of their synthesis, purification and application and it will also provide a more thorough insight regarding the theoretical knowledge of their nature.Generalized structural formula of investigated compounds and their formation enthalpy determination scheme in the gaseous state ![]()

Abstract
Halogenated benzenes form a class of pollutants with a huge number of members - 1504 distinct benzene compounds, where one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by halogens, may exist theoretically. This study presents a user friendly method for accurate prediction of vapor pressures and enthalpies of vaporization, at 298.15 K, of any mono or poly halobenzene compound. The derived equations for the prediction of those vaporization properties depend just on the number of each constituent halogen atom. This is a consequence of the absence of intramolecular interactions between the halogen atoms, revealed after examining vaporization results of ca. 40 halogenated benzenes. In order to rationalize the estimation equations, the contribution of the halogen atoms for the referred to above properties of vaporization was decomposed into two atomic properties - the volume and electron affinity. Extension of the applicability of the estimation method to substituted benzenes containing other substituent groups beyond halogen atoms as well as to some polycyclic aromatic species was tested with success.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are common components of many materials, such as petroleum and various types of tars. They are generally present in mixtures, occurring both naturally and as byproducts of fuel processing operations. It is important to understand the thermodynamic properties of such mixtures in order to understand better and predict their behavior (i.e., fate and transport) in the environment and in industrial operations. To characterize better the thermodynamic behavior of PAH mixtures, the phase behavior of a binary (anthracene + phenanthrene) system was studied by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and the Knudsen effusion technique. Mixtures of (anthracene + phenanthrene) exhibit non-ideal mixture behavior. They form a lower-melting, phenanthrene-rich phase with an initial melting temperature of 372 K (identical to the melting temperature of pure phenanthrene) and a vapor pressure of roughly lnP/Pa = -2.38. The phenanthrene-rich phase coexists with an anthracene-rich phase when the mole fraction of phenanthrene (xP) in the mixture is less than or equal to 0.80. Mixtures initially at xP = 0.90 consist entirely of the phenanthrene-rich phase and sublime at nearly constant vapor pressure and composition, consistent with azeotrope-like behavior. Quasi-azeotropy was also observed for very high-content anthracene mixtures (2.5 < xP < 5) indicating that anthracene may accommodate very low levels of phenanthrene in its crystal structure.

Removal efficiencies for 136 tetra- through octa-chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofuran congeners with activated carbons. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 22:17691-17696.

Abstract
In this study, the removal efficiency of 136 tetra- to octa-chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (CDD)/furan (F) congeners from a nitrogen + oxygen carrier gas was studied using a laboratory-scale, fixed bed adsorption system. Two kinds of activated carbon with dissimilar pore structures were used as adsorbents. The total concentration of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs) in the source gas was 541 ng/Nm(3) and that of the 17 toxic 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/Fs 96.35 ng/Nm(3), accounting for 17.8% of the total original weight amount. Their toxic equivalent quantity (TEQ) was 8.31 ng I-TEQ/Nm(3). For both activated carbons, the removal efficiencies of the ten PCDD/F homologue groups rise with chlorine substitution number. The removal efficiencies vary approximately as a power function of vapor pressure (correlation coefficients r(2) = 0.93 and 0.81, respectively). Competitive adsorption and desorption occur as adsorption time went on, causing elution of the lower chlorinated homologues, i.e. tetra-CDD/F and Penta-CDD/F congeners. In addition, there are significantly different concentration distributions for isomers in the same homologue groups. However, their removal efficiencies have weak correlation with their initial concentrations. The correlation coefficients are from -0.47 to 0.32 and from -0.57 to 0.46 respectively for the two kinds of activated carbons.

Up to which temperature ultrasound can heat the particle? ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2015; 26:9-14.

Abstract
Crystallographic property such as crystallite size has been used for evaluation of the temperature up to which high intensity ultrasound can heat metal particles depending on physical properties of sonication medium and particle concentration. We used >100 μm metal particles as an in situ indicator for ultrasonically induced temperature in the particle interior. Based on powder X-ray diffraction monitoring of Al3Ni2 crystallite sizes after ultrasound treatment the average minimum temperature T particle(min) of sonicated particles in various sonication media was estimated. Additionally, it was found that crystallite size in ultrasonically treated metal particle depends on the frequency of interparticle collision. Through the adjustment of particle concentration, it is possible to either accelerate the atomic diffusion or force the melting and recrystallization processes. Overall, the energy released from collapsing cavitation bubble can be controllably transferred to the sonication matter through the appropriate choice of sonication medium and the adjustment of particle concentration.

Evaporation characteristics of ETBE-blended gasoline. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2015; 287:151-161.

Abstract
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to global warming, production of gasoline blended with ethyl tert-buthyl ether (ETBE) is increasing annually. The flash point of ETBE is higher than that of gasoline, and blending ETBE into gasoline will change the flash point and the vapor pressure. Therefore, it is expected that the fire hazard caused by ETBE-blended gasoline would differ from that caused by normal gasoline. The aim of this study was to acquire the knowledge required for estimating the fire hazard of ETBE-blended gasoline. Supposing that ETBE-blended gasoline was a two-component mixture of gasoline and ETBE, we developed a prediction model that describes the vapor pressure and flash point of ETBE-blended gasoline in an arbitrary ETBE blending ratio. We chose 8-component hydrocarbon mixture as a model gasoline, and defined the relation between molar mass of gasoline and mass loss fraction. We measured the changes in the vapor pressure and flash point of gasoline by blending ETBE and evaporation, and compared the predicted values with the measured values in order to verify the prediction model. The calculated values of vapor pressures and flash points corresponded well to the measured values. Thus, we confirmed that the change in the evaporation characteristics of ETBE-blended gasoline by evaporation could be predicted by the proposed model. Furthermore, the vapor pressure constants of ETBE-blended gasoline were obtained by the model, and then the distillation curves were developed.

Abstract
Non-PBDE (polybromodiphenyl ether) brominated flame retardants (BFRs) used as alternatives to PBDEs should be evaluated in terms of their environmental contamination potential. We first used two well-known estimation tools, EPI Suite and SPARC, to estimate the physicochemical properties of 52 non-PBDE BFRs. We assessed the dependence of the properties on the molecular weight and chemical structure of the compounds. The accuracy of the estimates was evaluated by comparing results with previous experimental data. In the case of EPI Suite, we have recommended an appropriate calculation method for the air-water partition coefficient. Half-lives in each environmental medium were also estimated with EPI Suite. Based on the estimated properties and half-lives, the overall persistence (Pov) and long-range transport potential (LRTP) of the BFRs were calculated using the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Pov and LRTP Screening Tool. We selected some POP-like chemicals from among the non-PBDE BFRs on the basis of their Pov and LRTP. From a Monte Carlo analysis of the calculated results for the selected BFRs, we suggest physicochemical properties to be measured in the future.

Abstract
This study aims at characterizing the vapor pressure signatures generated by triacetone triperoxide (TATP) that was synthesized without recrystallization by thermogravimmetric analysis (TGA) for exploitation by standoff detection technologies of explosive devices. The thermal behavior of the nonrecrystallized sample was compared with reported values. Any phase change, melting point and decomposition identification were studied by differential scanning calorimeter. Vapor pressures were estimated by the Langmuir method of evaporation from an open surface in a vacuum. Vapor pressures of TATP at different temperatures were calculated using the linear logarithmic relationship obtained from benzoic acid reference standard. Sublimation of TATP was found to follow apparent zero-order kinetics and sublimes at steady rates at 298 K and above. While the enthalpy of sublimation found, 71.7 kJ mol(-1), is in agreement with reported values the vapor pressures deviated significantly. The differences in the vapor pressures behavior are attributable to the synthesis pathway chosen in this study.

Abstract
The diffusion coefficients of explosives are crucial in their trace detection and lifetime estimation. We report on the experimental values of diffusion coefficients of three of the most important explosives in both military and industry: TNT, PETN, and RDX. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to determine the sublimation rates of TNT, PETN, and RDX powders in the form of cylindrical billets. The TGA was calibrated using ferrocene as a standard material of well-characterized sublimation rates and vapor pressures to determine the vapor pressures of TNT, PETN, and RDX. The determined sublimation rates and vapor pressures were used to indirectly determine the diffusion coefficients of TNT, PETN, and RDX for the first time. A linear log-log dependence of the diffusion coefficients on temperature is observed for the three materials. The diffusion coefficients of TNT, PETN, and RDX at 273 K were determined to be 5.76×10(-6)m(2)/sec, 4.94×10(-6)m(2)/s, and 5.89×10(-6)m(2)/s, respectively. Values are in excellent agreement with the theoretical values in literature.
