Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model01:09

Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model

Various dissolution theories provide insight into the factors that influence the dissolution rate. Danckwerts' Model suggests that turbulence, rather than a stagnant layer, characterizes the dissolution medium at the solid-liquid interface. In this model, the agitated solvent contains macroscopic packets that move to the interface via eddy currents, facilitating the absorption and delivery of the drug to the bulk solution. The regular replenishment of solvent packets maintains the concentration...

Theories of Dissolution: Diffusion Layer Model

Dissolution, the process by which drug particles dissolve in a solvent, is explained by the diffusion layer model, a theoretical framework that simulates the absorption of oral drugs and allows us to analyze experimental data.
This process starts with a thin layer, saturated with the drug, forming at the interface between the solid and liquid. The solute then diffuses from this layer into the main solution. The Noyes-Whitney equation suggests that the rate of dissolution relies on the diffusion...
Recrystallization: Solid–Solution Equilibria01:10

Recrystallization: Solid–Solution Equilibria

Recrystallization is a purification technique used to separate impurities from solid compounds. In this technique, no chemical reactions occur. Instead, it exploits physical properties only, specifically, the solubility differences between the desired compound and impurities, either at a single temperature or at different temperatures, and under other selected conditions. The solid-solution equilibrium (solubility equilibrium) of each component in the solution represents a binary phase...
Fluid Mosaic Model01:34

Fluid Mosaic Model

The fluid mosaic model was first proposed as a visual representation of research observations. The model comprises the composition and dynamics of membranes and serves as a foundation for future membrane-related studies. The model depicts the structure of the plasma membrane with a variety of components, which include phospholipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. These integral molecules are loosely bound, defining the cell’s border and providing fluidity for optimal function.LipidsThe most...
Crystal Growth: Principles of Crystallization01:25

Crystal Growth: Principles of Crystallization

Crystallization is a phase transformation process in which crystals are precipitated from a supersaturated solution or formed from other sources. During crystallization, atoms or molecules arrange themselves into a well-defined, rigid crystal lattice to minimize energy.
Initiating crystallization involves manipulating the concentration of the solute and the temperature of the solution. Since crystal growth occurs when the ratio of concentration and solubility of the solute in the solvent – the...
Protein Diffusion in the Membrane01:24

Protein Diffusion in the Membrane

Proteins show rotational as well as lateral diffusion across the membrane. The lateral diffusion of proteins was confirmed through the cell fusion experiment where mouse and human cells were fused, resulting in hybrid cells. When the human and mouse cells fused, the specific membrane proteins on human and mouse cells were marked with the red and green-fluorescent markers, respectively. Initially, the red and green fluorescence was located on the respective hemisphere of the cell. As time...

Summary

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations reveal ion dehydration at liquid-liquid interfaces. Potassium chloride (KCl) systems show larger ion clusters than sodium chloride (NaCl) systems due to differing hydration structures.

Background:

  • Interfacial crystallization offers control over crystal morphology via asymmetric reaction fields.
  • Liquid-liquid crystallization is influenced by solute ion and solvent molecule distribution at interfaces.

  • To clarify ion and solvent diffusion behavior at solution/1-butanol interfaces using molecular dynamics simulations.
  • To investigate the differing dehydration behaviors of NaCl and KCl in aqueous solutions with 1-butanol.

Main Methods:

  • Employed nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
  • Simulated interfaces in NaCl solution/1-butanol and KCl solution/1-butanol systems.

Main Results:

  • Observed dehydration of hydrated solute ions with water diffusion into the 1-butanol phase.
  • Identified different dehydration behaviors between NaCl and KCl solutions.
  • Found aggregated ions or clusters formed near the solution/1-butanol interface.
  • Noted larger cluster size and number in KCl systems compared to NaCl systems.

Conclusions:

  • Ion dehydration and cluster formation at liquid-liquid interfaces are influenced by ion hydration structures.
  • The distinct hydration of Na+ and K+ ions leads to differences in interfacial cluster formation.
