Liquid diffusion of nonelectrolytes: Part II

Abstract

Part I1 of the review paper covers the self-diffusion theories and their comparison with experimental results. This is followed by a review of empirical and semi-empirical predictive equations of mutual and self-diffusion coefficients. Recent developments in experimental techniques for measuring liquid diffusivities are discussed in the last section. A supplement of experimental diffusion data since 1956 is available.

Mass Transfer in Distillation

“…Collections of liquid diffusivity data can be found in other reviews [20,23,24]. The book by Tyrell and Harris [16] is a good place to begin a search for experimental measurements of D.…”

Correlations for prediction of molecular diffusivities in liquids at infinite dilution

“…Most of the correlations are based on properties that can be readily measured or estimated such as viscosity and molar volume. Correlations for diffusivity have been reviewed by Ghai et al (1973), Ertl et al (1974), Reid et al (1977Reid et al ( , 1987 and Hayduk (1986). Recently a number of researchers have utilized the Taylor dispersion technique in capillary flow for determining diffusivities in liquids.…”

Liquid diffusion measurement by holographic interferometry

“…The optical methods were reviewed by Geddes and Pontius (1959), O'Brien (1972) and Muller (1973). In the review paper by Ertl et al (1974) more recent developments in experimental techniques for measuring liquid diffusivities were discussed, with special emphases on the nuclear magnetic resonance method. In the review paper by Ertl et al (1974) more recent developments in experimental techniques for measuring liquid diffusivities were discussed, with special emphases on the nuclear magnetic resonance method.…”

“…In some of these reviews (Bierlein and Becsey, 1973;Ertl et al, 1974;Alvarez and Bueno, 1983) holographic interferometry is named as a new interferometric method in development. It presents some advantages over the classic interferometry (Budziack et a]., 1971;Durou, 1973, Alvarez andSanchez, 1980): it is simpler, only one cell is needed, there is no need for windows of high optical quality on the diffusion cell and the inhomogenities in the windows ' of the cell do not cause perturbations in the measurements.…”
