Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion Coefficients for Binary, Ternary, and Polydisperse Solutions from Peak-Width Analysis of Taylor Dispersion Profiles
Rachel Callendar,Derek G. Leaist +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived mutual diffusion coefficients from the width at half height of Taylor dispersion profiles using D=(ln 2)r 1/2 ) and values of the retention time and dispersion tube radius.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binary mutual diffusion coefficients of aqueous alcohols. Methanol to 1-heptanol
Ling Hao,Derek G. Leaist +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Taylor dispersion at 25 °C was used to measure mutual diffusion coefficients for binary aqueous solutions of methanol, ethanol, isomeric propanols and butanols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ternary mutual diffusion coefficients of MgCl2 + MgSO4 + H2O and Na2SO4 + MgSO4 + H2O from Taylor dispersion profiles
Zhipeng Deng,Derek G. Leaist +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Taylor dispersion (peak-broadening) technique was used to measure the mutual diffusion coefficients of the mixed salt solutions MgCl2+MgSO4+H2O.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isotopic fractionation by diffusion in groundwater
TL;DR: In this article, the potential for isotopic fractionation during transport in groundwater resulting from minute isotopic effects on aqueous diffusion coefficients was considered, and it was shown that diffusion can result in similar degrees of depletion and enrichment of isotopically heavy solutes during transport of heterogeneous systems with significant diffusion rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binary Mutual Diffusion Coefficients of Aqueous Solutions of β-Cyclodextrin at Temperatures from 298.15 to 312.15 K
Ana C. F. Ribeiro,Derek G. Leaist,Miguel A. Esteso,Victor M. M. Lobo,Artur J.M. Valente,Cecilia I.A.V. Santos,and Ana M. T. D. P. V. Cabral,Francisco Veiga +7 more
TL;DR: Binary mutual diffusion coefficients have been measured for aqueous solutions of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) at concentrations from (0.002 to 0.008) mol·dm-3 as discussed by the authors.
