Abstract The thin-film release solution for photoresists, formulated with propylene glycol methyl ether (PM) and cyclopentanone (CPO), is widely used in semiconductor processes; however, it is difficult to separate due to concentration-dependent effects. This research focused on examining the vapor–liquid phase equilibria of three binary mixtures composed of the extractive distillation entrainer N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and the close-boiling components─propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PM) or cyclopentanone (CPO)─namely, the NMP–PM, NMP–CPO, and CPO–PM systems. In contrast, the intermolecular interactions between NMP and PM are stronger than those in the other two systems. Furthermore, the relative volatility of CPO compared to PM is also influenced by NMP. The experimental data have demonstrated excellent thermodynamic consistency upon verification. A regression analysis of binary-system vapor-liquid equilibrium data was conducted using the Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC models, with the UNIQUAC model demonstrating superior predictive performance. At solvent molar fractions of 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9, employing the UNIQUAC model, compositional impacts on PM/CPO relative volatility were evaluated to estimate the minimum equilibrium stages necessary for effective distillative separation. This research has demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of using NMP for extraction and distillation separation of PM/CPO at both experimental and theoretical levels.

The hydrogenolysis of glucose to 1,2-propylene glycol (1,2-PG) has become a powerful and practical approach to using biomass resources. A series of Pt (2%)/WOx (7.5%) catalysts supported on different kinds of γ-Al2O3 were prepared by stepwise incipient wetness impregnation. The effects of Al2O3 supports on the physicochemical parameters and catalytic capabilities of catalysts used in the hydrogenolysis of glucose to 1,2-PG were investigated. Subsequently, an attempt was made to relate the catalytic activities to the structures of the W species. When Nano-Al2O3 was used as the support, the Pt/WOx/Nano-Al2O3 catalyst demonstrated the best performance, yielding 55.8% 1,2-PG after heating at 245 °C for 1 h. The excellent performance of the Pt/WOx/Nano-Al2O3 catalyst was attributed to the high dispersion of the Pt center and the optimal W species structure on the catalyst surface (monodisperse W species coexisting with the polymerized W species).

In recent years, multiresponsive polymers with nonconjugated chromophores featuring cluster-triggered emission (CTE) have attracted significant attention due to their wide applications and interests in fundamental studies. There is a lack of studies correlating the fluorescent properties to their distinct stimuli-responsiveness although CTE materials have been well studied. Herein, we introduced a poly(ethylene glycol)-polysiloxane copolymer, PEG-Si, which exhibits responsiveness to temperature, pH, CO2, and salinity, with adjustable phase transition and reversible fluorescence. PEG-Si was synthesized by a catalyst-free aza-Michael addition of PEG diacrylate with bis(3-aminopropyl)-tetramethyldisiloxane in dichloromethane. The structure of PEG-Si was characterized using various spectroscopic methods such as NMR and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The light transmittance and fluorescence performance of PEG-Si were measured at different temperatures under varying conditions, including polymer composition, concentration, pH, and bubbled CO2, to observe their evolution. The relationship between fluorescence properties and the phase transition process was described. The results demonstrate that PEG-Si can be used as a temperature and pH fluorescence thermometer and biosensor for detection of uric acid with a detection limit of 1.02 μmol/L. This study proposes a practical strategy for designing multiresponsive polymers with CTE features and provides significant insights into the correlation between stimuli-responsiveness and fluorescent properties, which contributes to the development of advanced materials with diverse applications.

Recovery of high-valued metals such as Li and Co from spent Li-ion batteries is quite important for sustainability reasons. The novelty of this work was based on the view of molecular design, proposing a strategy that inserts another group between two −COOH groups on an organic acid to activate them. On this basis, a novel solvent dicarboxylated polyethylene glycol (dcPEG), i.e., HOOC–CH2(CH2CH2O)nCH2–COOH, was chosen to leach Li and Co from LiCoO2. Expectedly, HOOC–CH2(CH2CH2O)nCH2–COOH (n = 250), which was denoted as dcPEG250, showed appealing leaching performance without the help of H2O2 and quaternary ammonium salt. It can simultaneously extract Co and Li, and the leaching efficiency reached as high as almost 100% under the proper conditions. The excellent performance was ascribed to structural feature of dcPEG. The presence of main chain (CH2CH2O)n extended the distance between two −COOH groups at the ends, limited their intramolecular interaction, and activated the −COOH groups. Accordingly, the active H atom on the −COOH group can react with LiCoO2, and the active O atoms on ether (C–O–C) and carbonyl (C═O) groups can coordinate with metals. In a word, this work could not only provide a promising solvent but also inspire researchers to engineer more novel solvents from the view of molecular design.

Deep eutectic solvents are environmentally friendly substitutes to room temperature ionic liquids in broad engineering applications like biofuel purification, polymer synthesis, gas capture, and organic extraction. In this work, the isobaric molar heat capacities of deep eutectic solvents consisting of choline chloride and triethylene glycol (in molar ratio of 1: 3, 1: 4, and 1: 5) are investigated by flow method in the temperature from 334.91 K to 364.98 K and pressure from 0.19 MPa to 25.21 MPa. The relative expended uncertainty of measurement system is calculated to be 1.4 % within 95 % degree of confidence. Experimental results show that the isobaric molar heat capacity increases linearly with higher temperature and lower pressure. With choline chloride added in triethylene glycol, the heat capacity decreases linearly with the decreasing of triethylene glycol molar fraction. Finally, the correlation of these binary mixtures is established based on the experimental data with the maximum absolute relative deviation and average absolute relative deviation of 1.01 % and 0.31 %, respectively.

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) aerogel is frequently employed in support phase change material (PCM) and function as heat conductors in phasing-energy storage systems, absorbing and converting solar energy. However, their low filler content and insufficient reduction have caused a far inferior photothermal performance than graphene. Therefore, it is urgent to enhance light-heat conversion efficiency of rGO-based composite PCM. Herein, a photothermal coating material , polydopamine (PDA), has been selected as a coating for rGO aerogel to further increase the photothermal conversion efficiency of rGO-based composite PCM by conjugation effect. First, rGO aerogel is created by hydrothermal reduction and freeze-drying techniques, followed by dopamine self-polymerization on the rGO surface to form PDA-coated rGO (rGO-PDA) aerogel, and finally composite PCM (PEG (Polyethylene glycol) /rGO-PDA) are prepared by vacuum impregnation technique. The results indicate that PDA exhibits excellent photothermal conversion ability, increasing the absorption of PEG/rGO-PDA in the infrared band, thus resulting in the composite PCM exhibiting excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (88.9 %), which is 2.4 % higher compared to that of PEG/rGO. Furthermore, PDA has strong hydrophilicity , which enhances the affinity between rGO aerogel and PEG, and the large amount of hydrogen bonding provided by the addition of PDA contributes to maintain the morphology stability of composite PCM. The composite PCM with better form-stable and higher photothermal conversion efficiency could play a critical role in solar energy storage system.

In order to improve both pure water flux and retention rate of the cross-linked ultrafiltration membranes based on phenolphthalein-based poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEKWC) and polyethyleneimine (PEI), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were used as polymeric additives in non-solvent-induced phase separation process. The characterizations, separation effectiveness, and anti-fouling performance of membranes were investigated. Compared with n-butanol additive, the PEG and PVP could accelerate the phase separation rate and form thinner and denser skin layer, and then that led to an increase in the fluxes of pure water and better dye retention performance. In addition, the impact of variable additive dosage on the pure water flux and retention for dye solutions was investigated, and the pure water flux of membranes could reach 3270.8 L·m −2 ·h −1 and 2494.5 L·m −2 ·h −1 at a PEG or PVP concentration of 0.5 wt%, respectively. These membranes also exhibited excellent retention performance for Coomassie brilliant blue and Congo red greater than 98%. The simultaneous improvement of pure water flux and retention performance also could be related to the more efficient water transmission channel forming which was investigated by atomic force microscope phase images. In anti-fouling performance tests , the membranes demonstrated effective anti-fouling properties with a high flux recovery ratio after external cleaning with water only.

Overused agrochemicals threaten the environment and human health. Nanotechnology has shown great potential for maintaining or minimizing environmental issues in agriculture . Herein, a polyethylene glycol-coated copper nanoclusters (PEG@Cu NCs) has been developed for efficient utilization by tobacco. The NCs showed the superior antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata , achieving comparable activity using a dose almost 35-fold lower than that of 46% copper hydroxide water power (WP). More importantly, PEG@Cu NCs exhibited excellent therapeutic potential via xylem delivery. In the meantime, promising bioavailability of the NCs was achieved, which could be absorbed by tobacco seedlings via roots and foliar tissues (epidermal and mesophyll cells). In addition, the biosafety of PEG@Cu NCs was investigated in tobacco and earthworms. Both root exposure (1.27–3.17 mg L −1 ) and leaf exposure (1.27–6.33 mg L −1 ) to PEG@Cu NCs had no negative effects on tobacco growth. The acute toxicity of PEG@Cu NCs to earthworms was low, as determined by the 7 day-LC 50 value of 46.253 mg kg −1 and 14 day-LC 50 value of 30.187 mg kg −1 . Overall, such NCs are expected to be a competitive alternative to Cu-based fungicides in sustainable agriculture due to their superior antifungal properties , excellent biocompatibility, and high efficiency bioavailability.

Ethylene glycol (EG) and water mixtures can be used as the antifreeze, refrigerant and coolant due to their good environmental, thermodynamic and transport performance. The mixture’s accurate thermal conductivity is indispensable for the optimal design of the relevant heat exchangers. However, thermal conductivity of EG/water mixtures is lacking and is seen to limit the further industrial application. In this paper, the transient hot wire method (THW) was used to measure the thermal conductivities of five EG/water mixtures (with ethylene glycol mass fraction w EG = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00) in the temperature range from 253.15 K to 353.15 K and pressures up to 8.0 MPa. A comparison was made between the present experimental data and literature values, yielding a good agreement. The AADs are within 2.65% for EG/water mixture systems. For convenience of engineering calculations, the present experimental data were correlated as a function of temperature and pressure. The average absolute deviations (AADs) between the experimental thermal conductivities and the calculations are 0.50%, 0.10%, 0.60%, 0.40% and 0.32% for mixture systems with ethylene glycol mass fraction w EG = 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, respectively. In addition, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics was applied to study the thermal conductivities of ethylene glycol/water binary mixtures based on PCFF (polymer consistent force field) and SPC/E (extended simple point charge) model, showing a good agreement with the experimental data. This study can provide fundamental thermal conductivity data for the heat transfer application of ethylene glycol aqueous solution in the industrial field.

Although the oxidative hydration of ethylene with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) to ethylene glycol (EG) over Ti-MWW zeolites take advantages of step-saving and facile operation, both H 2 O 2 utilization efficiency and EG yield are relatively low, because some extra-framework octahedral Ti species are usually formed in the Ti-MWW zeolites synthesized by prevailing methods, which are detrimental to selective oxidation . In the present work, an acid-modulated isomorphous substitution method, i.e. , layered borosilicate MWW-type zeolite (ERB-1) treated with HNO 3 aqueous solution containing tetrabutyl orthotitanate (TBOT), is developed to synthesize a Ti-MWW zeolite without extra-framework octahedral Ti species under the optimized synthesis conditions. In combination with the results from extensive characterizations for the synthesized zeolites, it is found that in the zeolite prepared by the currently developed synthesis method there are more open Ti(OSi) 3 OH sites formed, resulting in the stronger Lewis acidity that is very helpful to EG production from the oxidative hydration of ethylene with H 2 O 2 , compared to the one synthesized by the prevailing method. Moreover, the developed catalyst is recyclable after the regeneration of the deactivated zeolite by calcination at high temperatures. Therefore, it is anticipated that the currently developed Ti-MWW might be industrially applicable in the one-pot synthesis of EG from ethylene with H 2 O 2 .

Dissolution and nucleation are two essential processes for industrial crystallization. This paper investigates the effect of ethylene glycol addition on the crystallization behavior of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) in solution. The DMT solubility in mixed solvent system (methanol-ethylene glycol) was determined by isothermal satiation approach, and the solubility was associated using seven models. The model fitting results were consistent with the experimental values. Based on the results, the metastable zone width (MSZW) of DMT was detected by the polythermal approach; the modified Sangwal's theory was used to investigate the nucleation behavior, which can provide a new way of thought for better analysis of the crystallization behavior. The results demonstrated that MSZW was associated with various elements, such as cooling rate, saturation temperature and mass fraction of ethylene glycol. The addition of ethylene glycol slowed down the nucleation rate as shown by the broadening of MSZW. We derive the solid-liquid interface energy, the nucleation driving force, the critical nucleation size and the critical Gibbs free energy according to the classical nucleation theory. It is demonstrated that the nucleation driving force and the solid-liquid interface energy are dependent and jointly influence the MSZW.
