ABSTRACTA method has been developed for determining the bond energies between nanosized particles from the kinetics of the rearrangement of aerosol agglomerates. The method of calculation is based on the change in Gibbs' free energy during restructuring. For Ag and Cu agglomerates, bond energies between the nanosized particles are of the order of magnitude calculated from bulk Hamaker constants.

The solubilities of Al182O3 in LiCl-KCl eutectic mixtures containing dissolved AlCl3 were measured using a sensitive proton activation technique. The results are consistent with the presence of an A10+ species at 4.7 x 10-5 mole fraction with AlCl3 at 10-2 mole fraction. When combined with other thermodynamic data, these solubilities are used to deduce a formation constant for the A10+ species from Al3+ and O2- ions of 1.94 x 1022 (in mole fraction units) and a specific bond free energy ("bond strength") of 300 kJ mol-1

The adsorption kinetics of purple cabbage pigment (PCP) on LSA-21 macro porous adsorbent resin were studied at different adsorbent resin concentrations (1, 2, 4, 8 g adsorbent resin per liter of purple cabbage extraction solution) for the temperature range of 20~50°C. The results showed that the adsorption of PCP in purple cabbage extraction solution onto LSA-21 macro porous adsorbent resin is highly in agreement with both Langmuir and Freundlich models. Heat of adsorption (ΔH) value of 11.976 kJ/mol indicates the endothermic adsorption process. A decrease of Gibbs free energy (ΔG) with temperature increase also indicates the spontaneous nature of the process.
