Article Abstract
The miscibility of ionic liquid (IL) pairs with a common cation (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium [CCim]) and different anions (bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [TFSI], acetate [OAc], and chloride [Cl]) was investigated at a wide range of water concentrations at room temperature. Molecular simulations predicted that the addition of water to the [CCim][TFSI]:[CCim][OAc] and [CCim][TFSI]:[CCim][Cl] mixtures would induce a liquid-liquid phase separation and that water addition to the [CCim][OAc]:[CCim][Cl] mixture would not produce a phase separation. The effect of water on the phase behavior of the IL mixtures was verified experimentally, and the IL and water concentrations were determined in each phase. Of particular importance is the analytical methodology used to determine the species' concentration, where H NMR and a combination of F NMR, Karl Fischer titration, and ion chromatography techniques were applied.

Understanding hydrogen bonding and ion-specific interactions in water, sodium sulfate (NaSO), and acetonitrile (ACN) systems remains challenging due to their complex, dynamic nature. Here, Raman spectroscopy is employed to probe hydrogen bonding networks and ion reorganization in NaSO aqueous solutions with different ACN concentrations. The results indicate that, at low ACN concentrations in the ternary solutions, hydrogen bonding between ACN and water molecules disrupts the original hydration structure of the ions, resulting in the formation of small ion clusters via electrostatic interactions.

Herein, organic/inorganic multiple adsorption sites were constructed on halloysite to intensify the selective adsorption performance of the adsorbent for Al(III) in rare earth solutions. The adsorption heat behavior and thermodynamics of the composite for different ion systems were investigated using microcalorimetry. The results showed that chitosan formed a mesoporous membrane on the acid-treated calcined halloysite (HalH) substrate through a strong electron interaction between the nitrogen atom of the amino group and the oxygen atom of SiO structure on HalH.

Phase separation has been discovered as a new form of regulation in innate immunity. Here, we found that IL6Ra in teleost fish has a unique intrinsic disordered region (IDR) in its amino acid sequence, distinguishing it from the IL6Ra of higher vertebrates. This unique feature endows IL6Ra with the ability to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation, enabling the organism to swiftly initiate an immune response at the early stages of viral infection.

This study developed a novel self-assembled bigel by combining a chestnut starch (CS) hydrogel with a γ-oryzanol/β-sitosterol (γ-ORY/β-SIT) oleogel. The influence of the hydrogel to oleogel ratio on the macro and micro structures, mechanical properties and thermal stability of the bigels was examined, and its potential as a healthier solid fat substitute was further explored. The results indicated that as the proportion of hydrogel increased (10 %-50 %), all bigels maintained a consistent semi-solid structure without any phase separation.

The safe disposal of heavy metal elements (Pb, Zn, Cu, etc.) in copper smelting slag and efficient treatment of phosphogypsum are urgent. To explore the feasibility of co-processing copper smelting slag and phosphogypsum, this study used PbO and CaSO as raw materials to investigate the sulfidation roasting process and flotation separation of roasted products.
