Role of hydrogen bonding on solvent separation using amphiphilic sorbitan ester
B Bartokova, AG Marangoni, T Laredo… - Colloids and Surfaces C …, 2023 - Elsevier
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water are miscible and interact trough hydrogen (H) bonds. Span
80 (sorbitan ester) is soluble in THF, but not water. Nonetheless, Span 80 H bonds with …

Mechanism of tetrahydrofuran separation from water by stearic acid
B Bartokova, T Laredo, AG Marangoni… - Journal of Molecular …, 2023 - Elsevier
Stearic acid separates tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water into either bulk phase or emulsions,
above 30% THF (relative to water, v/v). The oxygen on the THF ring interacts with either …

Mechanisms of separation between tetrahydrofuran and water using hydroxystearic acid
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is fully miscible in water, and it interacts with it via hydrogen (H)
bonds. We discover that the fatty acid hydroxystearic acid (HSA) separates THF from water …

Phase behavior of sulfolane: Potential implications for transport in groundwater
B Bartokova, AG Marangoni, T Laredo… - Colloids and Surfaces A …, 2023 - Elsevier
Sulfolane is a toxic pollutant freely miscible in pure water. However, above benchmark
concentrations of sulfate or thiosulfate ions, it behaves as a light non-aqueous phase liquid …

Self-Assembled glycerol monooleate demixes miscible liquids through selective hydrogen bonding to water
Water is miscible with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), with which it interacts through hydrogen
bonds (H-bonds). Glycerol monooleate (GMO, 53 g/L) demixes water and DMSO, yielding …

Effect of bacterial surfactants on the phase behavior of miscible pollutants in water
Rhamnolipids are bacterial amphiphiles. In addition to emulsifying hydrophobic solvents,
they affect the phase behaviour of miscible solvents. In mixtures of toluene and water …
