Abstract

Isotopologues are molecular species differing only in their stable isotope composition. For example, the isotopologues of water include HOH, DOD, and HOD. The possibility of reactive azeotropy among isotopologues of the same molecule is explored within the ideal gas/ideal solution assumption. The chemical equilibrium enabling azeotropy may involve isotope exchange reactions or may involve more complicated dissociation/solvation chemistry. Azeotropy among isotopologues appears possible in the presence of isotope exchange reactions and with simple dissociation or combination reactions. However, for such chemical reactions, the isotope fractionation factors must be unity, that is, isotope ratios are identical in the vapor and liquid phases. This is not consistent with experimental observations that isotope fractionation factors can differ from unity at an azeotrope. More complex solvation chemistry, wherein the isotopic composition in the solvation shell differs slightly from that of the bulk solvent, can lead to an azeotrope for which the isotope fractionation factor is not unity. Possible azeotropy among the isotopologues of water is then considered. Experiments to directly quantify water isotopologue compositions at the elevated temperatures and pressures anticipated for azeotropy are described. Furthermore the paper concludes with a discussion of the potential impact of azotropic isotopologues on the azeotropic extraction andmore »« less

Partitioning of oxygen isotopes during the aqueous solvation of nitric acid

Journal Article Larson, Toti E. ; Perkins, George B. ; Williams, Robert F. ; ... - Fluid Phase Equilibria

Mixtures of water and inorganic acids show differences in isotopic composition between the vapor and liquid phases, reportedly even at an azeotrope. A recent reactive azeotropy analysis rationalized this by allowing for differences in stable isotope composition between bound solvation complexes and the bulk liquid. In this study, a mixture of water and nitric acid was examined experimentally to determine whether or not significant differences in stable isotope composition exist between bound solvation complexes and the bulk solution. A Rayleigh distillation was conducted using a solution of nitric acid and water. During the distillation, it was expected that bulk watermore »« less

THE SEPARATION OF HYDROGEN ISOTOPES BY DISTILLATION OF AZEOTROPIC MIXTURES OF STRONG ACIDS WITH WATER. IV. EFFECT OF THE INTERMOLECULAR INTERACTION BETWEEN HNO$sub 3$ AND H$sub 2$O ON THE ELEMENTARY SEPARATION FACTOR IN THE HNO$sub 3$/H$sub 2$O AZEOTROPE (in German)

Journal Article Wetzel, K - Kernenergie (East Germany)

Chemical exchange equilibria are decisive for the distribution of hydrogen isotopes between liquid and vapor of azeotropic acid/witer mixtures. The dissociation of the nitric acid calculated from the experimentally-determined elementiry separation factor for hydrogen isotopes by distillation of the azeotropic nitric acid/water mixture was compared with the value determined from Raman spectroscopic studies.

Isotope effects in aqueous systems. XI. Excess volumes in H/sub 2/O/D/sub 2/O mixtures. The apparent molar volume of NaCl in an H/sub 2/O/D/sub 2/O mixture

Journal Article Dutta-Choudhury, M K ; Van Hook, W A - J. Phys. Chem.; (United States)

The densities of D/sub 2/O/H/sub 2/O mixtures relative to pure D/sub 2/O and H/sub 2/O have been measured with a Mettler-Paar vibrating densitometer at 10, 25, and 40/sup 0/C. The excess volumes calculated from the densities are very small and, within experimental precision, are independent of temperature. They are described by the relation (X = atoms of D/(atoms of H + atoms of D)), 10/sup 10/V/sup E//(m/sup 3/mol/sup -1/) = X(1 - X)((15.7 +- 1.3) - (7.2 +- 2.3) (1 - 2X) - (12.8 +- 5.3)(1 - 2X)/sup 2 -/).

Mathematical treatment of isotopologue and isotopomer speciation and fractionation in biochemical kinetics

Journal Article Maggi, F M ; Riley, W J - Journal of Geophysical Research-Bogeosciences

We present a mathematical treatment of the kinetic equations that describe isotopologue and isotopomer speciation and fractionation during enzyme-catalyzed biochemical reactions. These equations, presented here with the name GEBIK (general equations for biochemical isotope kinetics) and GEBIF (general equations for biochemical isotope fractionation), take into account microbial biomass and enzyme dynamics, reaction stoichiometry, isotope substitution number, and isotope location within each isotopologue and isotopomer. In addition to solving the complete GEBIK and GEBIF, we also present and discuss two approximations to the full solutions under the assumption of biomass-free and enzyme steady-state, and under the quasi-steady-state assumption as applied tomore »« less
