Simultaneous Self-Association and Diffusion of Phenol in Isooctane

The impact of self-association on mass transport was studied. The model system chosen was the diffusion of phenol through an immobilized layer of isooctane. In the theoretical development, self-associated phenol contributed to diffusion, with the fluxes being interdependent because of the self-assoc...

Description
Summary:The impact of self-association on mass transport was studied. The model system chosen was the diffusion of phenol through an immobilized layer of isooctane. In the theoretical development, self-associated phenol contributed to diffusion, with the fluxes being interdependent because of the self-association equilibrium. Predictions from theory were then compared with experimental results. It was shown that self-association can significantly affect flux of diffusing species.
