Phase separation is a thermodynamic process leading to the formation of compositionally distinct phases. For the past few years, numerous works have shown that biomolecular phase separation serves as biogenesis mechanisms of diverse intracellular condensates, and aberrant phase transitions are associated with disease states such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. Condensates exhibit rich phase behaviors including multiphase internal structuring, noise buffering, and compositional tunability. Recent studies have begun to uncover how a network of intermolecular interactions can give rise to various biophysical features of condensates. Here, we review phase behaviors of biomolecules, particularly with regard to regular solution models of binary and ternary mixtures. We discuss how these theoretical frameworks explain many aspects of the assembly, composition, and miscibility of diverse biomolecular phases, and highlight how a model-based approach can help elucidate the detailed thermodynamic principle for multicomponent intracellular phase separation.

Background: Organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) are a group of chemical substances used in building materials and plastic products to suppress or mitigate the combustion of materials. Although OPFRs are generally used in mixed form, information on their mixture toxicity is quite scarce. Objectives: This study aims to elucidate the toxicity and determine the types of interaction (e.g., synergistic, additive, and antagonistic effect) of OPFRs mixtures. Methods: Nine organophosphorus flame retardants, including TEHP (tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate) and TDCPP (tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate), were selected based on indoor dust measurement data in South Korea. Nine OPFRs were exposed to the luminescent bacteria Aliivibrio fischeri for 30 minutes and the human hepatocyte cell line HepG2 for 48 hours. Chemicals with significant toxicity were only used for mixture toxicity tests in HepG2. In addition, the observed EC_x values were compared with the predicted toxicity values in the CA (concentration addition) prediction model, and the MDR (model deviation ratio) was calculated to determine the type of interaction. Results: Only four chemicals showed significant toxicity in the luminescent bacteria assays. However, EC₅₀ values were derived for seven out of nine OPFRs in the HepG2 assays. In the HepG2 assays, the highest to lowest EC₅₀ were in the order of the molecular weight of the target chemicals. In the further mixture tests, most binary mixtures show additive interactions except for the two combinations that have TPhP (triphenyl phosphate), i.e., TPhP and TDCPP, and TPhP and TBOEP (tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate). Conclusions: Our data shows OPFR mixtures usually have additivity; however, more research is needed to find out the reason for the synergistic effect of TPhP. Also, the mixture experimental dataset can be used as a training and validation set for developing the mixture toxicity prediction model as a further step.

$SF_6$ has been widely used in high voltage power equipment, such as gas insulated switchgear (GIS) and gas insulated transmission line (GIL), because of its excellent insulation and arc extinguishing performance. However, $SF_6$ faces two environmental problems: greenhouse effect and high liquefaction temperature. Therefore, to find the $SF_6$ substitute gases has become a research hotspot in recent years. In this paper, the liquefaction characteristics of $SF_6$ substitute gases were studied. Peng-Robinson equation of state with the van der Waals mixing rule (PR-vdW model) was used to calculate the dew point temperature of the binary gas mixtures, with $SF_6$, $C_3F_8$, $c-C_4F_8$, $CF_3I$ or $C_4F_7N$ as the insulating gas and $N_2$ or $CO_2$ as the buffer gas. The sequence of the dew point temperatures of the binary gas mixtures under the same pressure and composition ratio was obtained. $SF_6/N_2$ < $SF_6/CO_2$ < $C_3F_8/N_2$ < $C_3F_8/CO_2$ < $CF_3I/N_2$ < $CF_3I/CO_2$ < $c-C_4F_8/N_2$ < $C_4F_7N/N_2$ < $c-C_4F_8/CO_2$ < $C_4F_7N/CO_2$. $SF_6/N_2$ gas mixture showed the best temperature adaptability and $C_4F_7N/CO_2$ gas mixture showed the worst temperature adaptability. Furthermore, the dew point temperatures of the $SF_6$ substitute gases at different pressures and the upper limits of the insulating gas mole fraction at $-30^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$ and $-10^{\circ}C$ were obtained. The results would supply sufficient data support for GIS/GIL operators and researchers.

유일로 오염된 지역의 토양에서 toluene을 탄소원으로 이용하는 혼합미생물을 분리하여 toluene, benzene, ethylbenzene 및 xylene isomers(BTEX)의 분해특성을 관찰하였다. 단일기질 실험에서는 모든 BTEX의 분해가 이루어졌으며 toluene, benzene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene 순서로 분해되었다. BTEX 혼합기질 분해실험에서는 단일기질일 때보다 분해속도가 상대적으로 느려졌으며, ethylbenzene이 benzene보다 먼저 분해되는 것이 관찰되었다. 이중 혼합물질 반응 실험에서는 방해작용(inhibition), 촉진작용(stimulation), 그리고 비반응(non-interaction)과 같은 다양한 기질반응이 관찰되었으며, ethylbenzene은 benzene, toluene, xylene의 분해에 강한 방해영향을 주었다. Xylene 분해특성에서 m- 및 p-xylene은 혼합미생물에 탄소원으로 이용되었으며 benzene이나 toluene이 동시에 존재할 때는 xylene isomer의 분해가 촉진되었다. 그러나 o-xylene의 분해는 benzene에 의해서만 촉진되었다.

비이온 계면활성제 $C_{12}E_8$ 마이셀에 의한 이성분 탄화수소 오일 혼합물 시스템의 가용화도(equilibrium solubilization capacity)를 $23^{\circ}C$에서 기체 크로마토그래피(GC)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 단일 성분의 탄화수소 오일 가용화도는 탄화수소 오일의 탄소수(ACN)가 증가함에 따라 거의 선형적으로 감소하였다. 한편 탄화수소 오일의 이성분 시스템은 사용한 두 탄화수소 오일의 탄소수(alkane carbon number, ACN) 차이에 따라 선택적 가용화 혹은 비선택적 가용화 경향을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 가용화도 실험을 수행한 n-octane/n-nonane, n-nonane/n-decane과 n-decane/n-undecane 혼합물 시스템과 같이 이성분 탄화수소 혼합물의 탄소수 차이가 1인 경우에는 비선택적(non-selective) 가용화 경향을 나타내었다. 반면에 n-octane/n-decane과 n-octane/n-undecane 혼합물 시스템과 같이 탄소수 차이가 1보다 큰 경우에는 선택적(selective) 가용화 경향을 나타내었다.

아세톤, 에탄올, 메탄올 이성분 혼합수용액에서 파라치환된 cinnamoyl chloride의 가용매분해반응을 25$^{\circ}C$에서 수행하였다. 이들 속도자료로부터 Grunwald-Winstein관계식, Hammett 식, PES 모형과 QM모형을 이용하여 해석 하였다. 파라 치환된 cinnamoyl chloride의 일차반응속도상수를 이용하여 Grunwald-Winstein 도시를 한 결과 세 개의 분리된 곡선으로 분산 현상을 보였으며 알코올 수용액에서 큰 m 값을 나타내었다. PES 모형과 QM 모형에 의한 전이상태 변화에 대한 예측으로부터 본 연구에서의 반응은 결합 이탈이 많이 진전된 $S_N1$형 $S_N2$ 반응으로 진행되고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This work aims at characterizing silicon grains and its compacts. In order to remove iron silicon grains were washed with 5N hydrochloride at 60-7$0^{\circ}C$ for 170 hrs, and then followed the chemical analysis by atomic absorption spectrophotometer X-ray diffraction analysis SEM observation and specific surface area determination by B. E. T. Mixtures of graded silicon particles with two or three different sizes were made into packings by mechanical vibration. The mixtures were used to make compacts with 10 mm in diameter and 70mm in length by isostatically pressing at 1, 208 kg/$cm^2$ (20 kpsi) and 4, 255kg/$cm^2$ (60 kpsi) respectively. Bulk densities of packings and compacts were measured. A slip made of magnesium nitrate solution and fine silicon particles was spray-dried and then decomposed at 30$0^{\circ}C$ for the purpose of coating the uniform layer of magnesium oxide on the surface of particles. The results obtained are as follows: (1) About two thirds of iron content could be removed from silicon by washing silicon powders with hydrochloride. (2) Uniform layer of magnesium oxide on the surface of silicon could be prepared by spray-drying suspension and by decomposing it. (3) B. E. T. specific surface area of fine silicon particles was 2, 826.753$m^3$/kg. (4) In the binary system with two sizes of 40-53$\mu\textrm{m}$ particles and <10$\mu\textrm{m}$ particles the maximum bulk density of packing was 55% of theoretical value and that of compacts made at the pressure of 4, 255 kg./$cm^2$ (60 kpsi) was 73% of theoretical value. (5) In the ternary system with three sizes the maximum bulk density of packing was 1.43 g/$cm^3$and that of compacts was 1.80g/$cm^3$which is equivalent to 77.6% of theoretical value. The composition of the closest compact was consisted of 50% of 40-53$\mu\textrm{m}$ particles 20% of 10-30$\mu\textrm{m}$ particles and 30% of <10$\mu\textrm{m}$ parti-cles.

EtOH-$H_2O, Acetone-H_2O$의 이성분 혼합용매계에서 치환 브롬화벤질류의 가용매분해반응을 $25^{\circ}C$ 와 $45^{\circ}C$에서 전기전도도법으로 연구하였다. 반응속도상수는 벤젠고리에 전자주게 치환기가 도입되거나, 물함량이 증가할수록 컸으며 전자받게 치환기로 바뀜에 따라 용매의 이온화능, Y에 대한 치환 브롬화벤젠류의 가용매분해반응의 감도, m은 연속적으로 감소하였고, 반면에 친핵도에 대한 감도는 증가하였다. 이 결과로 부터 전자주게에서 전자받게로 치환기가 변함에 따라 전이상태는 loose한 결합상태에서 tight한 상태로 변함을 알 수 있었다. 이 결과는 PES 모형과 양자역학적 해석 방법에 의한 전이상태 구조변화의 논의와도 일치하였다.

Rates of solvolyses of 4-nitrophenyl phenyl thiophosphorochloridate (4-N$O_2$PhOP(S)(Cl)OPh, $\underline{1}$) in ethanol, methanol, and aqueous binary mixtures incorporating ethanol, methanol, acetone, and 2,2,2-trifluroethanol (TFE) are reported. Thermodynamic parameters were determined at several temperatures in three representative solvents. The extended Grunwald-Winstein equation was applied to 29 solvents and the correlation coefficient (R) showed 0.959. The sensitivities (l = 1.37 and m = 0.62) are similar to those obtained for diphenyl thiophosphorochloridate (($PhO)_2$PSCl, $\underline{2}$), diphenyl phosphorochloridate (($PhO)_2$POCl, $\underline{3}$), diphenyl phosphinic chloride ($Ph_2$POCl, $\underline{4}$), and diphenyl thiophosphinic chloride ($Ph_2$PSCl, $\underline{5}$). The solvolytic reaction mechanism of 4-nitrophenyl phenyl thiophosphorochloridate ($\underline{1}$) is suggested to be proceeded a $S_N$2 process as previously reported result. The activation enthalpies are shown as slightly low as ${\Delta}H^{\neq}\;=\;9.62\;to\;11.9\;kcal{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ and the activation entropies are shown as slightly high negative value as ${\Delta}S^{\neq}\;=\;-34.1\;to\;-44.9\;cal{\cdot}mol^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$ compared to the expected $S_N$2 reaction mechanism. Kinetic solvent isotope effects are accord with a typical $S_N$2 mechanism as shown in the range of 2.41 in MeOH/ MeOD and 2.57 in $H_2O/D_2O$ solvent mixtures.
