A method is presented for fast and accurate determination of the limiting activity coefficient of a solute dissolved in a liquid mixture. It is based on the study of the solute elution with time; the solute is stripped from the solution by a constant flow of inert gas. The variation of solute concentration in the gaseous phase is measured by gasliquid chromatography. Experimental results for several systems are in good agreement with data from retention time measurements and extrapolation of vapor-liquid equilibria.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
