The effect of ion pairing on water analyses is examined. Significant changes in composition details and saturation indices can occur in waters of moderate-to-high sulfate content. Revised estimates of the equilibrium constants for gypsum and dolomite for various temperatures are presented.

Quality Measurements

The paper describes the results of measurements from a 2 year period on a 95 hectare urban catchment in Aalborg, Denmark. The results of the rain/discharge measurements include 160 storm events corresponding to an accumulated rain depth of totally 753 mm. The water quality measurements include 15 events with time series of concentration of SS, COD, BOD, total nitrogen and total phosphorus. The quality parameters showed significant first flush effects. The paper discusses whether either the event average concentration or the accumulated event mass is the most appropriate way to characterize the quality of the outflow.

Abstract Factor VIII-related antigen migrates poorly into gel during electrophoresis in agarose, probably in major part because of the relatively high sulfate content of the commonly used agars. A recently available low-sulfate residue agar, substituted for standard agar preparations in electroimmunoassay, allows Factor VIII antigen to travel more rapidly, producing "rockets" that are well defined and easily measured, making the assay easier and more reliable.

AbstractTo immobilize a high sulfate radioactive wastes a system Na2O-A12O3-P2O5-SO3 has been chosen as one where glasses have a relatively low melting points and good chemical durability. Glasses within partial system 44 Na2O, 20 A12O3 (36-x) P2O5 x SO3 have been prepared at 1000 °C. A possibility of assimilation up to 12 mole % of SO3 has been established. The basic properties of sulfate-containing glasses as density, microhardness, thermal expansion coefficient, transformation and deformation temperatures, viscosity, electric resistivity, leach rate of ions and diffusion coefficients of 22Na, 35S, 90Sr and 137Cs have been measured. Glass structure by infrared and EPR spectroscopies has been investigated.

Calcium-based stabilizing materials (CBSMs) such as lime and fly ash are extensively used in subgrade primarily to enhance mechanical strength and improve resistance to chemical attack, resulting in more durable roadway. The soluble sulfate phase contained in some soils, however, can react with CBSMs and form ettringite minerals. If the soil is compacted before the end of this reaction, large, unstable, and volumetric swelling can occur. Among several methods to control sulfate-induced swelling, a “mellowing” approach is typically used because of its efficient, economical, and practical benefits when dealing with calcium-based stabilization of soils with significant soluble sulfate contents. Although the mellowing method is one of the frequently used methods, little data is available on the characterization of the specified mellowing process in the high-sulfate-bearing soil during the mellowing period. A research program investigated key factors influencing the mellowing process during the mellowing period, explaining how stabilizer type and content, remixing interval, mellowing period, and temperature play a role in reducing soluble sulfate content. Moreover, for selected mixtures, the 3-dimensional volumetric expansion and retained strength were measured after the mellowing process. Laboratory test results have revealed that a single mellowing process with higher lime content and daily remixing at high temperature leads to the rapid reduction of sulfate content in the soil. Moreover, after the mellowing process, additional soil treatment with fly ash or a combination of lime and fly ash leads to lower expansion and higher retained unconfined compressive strength of the soil mixture.

The distribution of ionic species in electrolyte systems is important in many fields of science and engineering, ranging from the study of degradation mechanisms to the design of systems for electrochemical energy storage. Often, other phenomena closely related to ionic speciation, such as ion pairing, clustering and hydrogen bonding, which are difficult to investigate experimentally, are also of interest. Here, we develop an accurate molecular approach, accounting for reactions as well as association and ion pairing, to deliver a predictive framework that helps validate experiment and guides future modelling of speciation phenomena of weak electrolytes. We extend the SAFT-VRE Mie equation of state [D. K. Eriksen et al., Mol. Phys., 2016, 114, 2724–2749] to study aqueous solutions of nitric, sulphuric, and carbonic acids, considering complete and partially dissociated models. In order to incorporate the dissociation equilibria, correlations to experimental data for the relevant thermodynamic equilibrium constants of the dissociation reactions are taken from the literature and are imposed as a boundary condition in the calculations. The models for water, the hydronium ion, and carbon dioxide are treated as transferable and are taken from our previous work. We present new molecular models for nitric acid, and the nitrate, bisulfate, sulfate, and bicarbonate anions. The resulting framework is used to predict a range of phase behaviour and solution properties of the aqueous acids over wide ranges of concentration and temperature, including the degree of dissociation, as well as the activity coefficients of the ionic species, and the activity of water and osmotic coefficient, density, and vapour pressure of the solutions. The SAFT-VRE Mie models obtained in this manner provide a means of elucidating the mechanisms of association and ion pairing in the systems studied, complementing the experimental observations reported in the literature.
