ABSTRACT

Adsorption azeotropy is a common phenomenon in mixed-gas adsorption equilibria. Since the first literature report of binary adsorption azeotropes in 1933, numerous studies investigated the thermodynamic conditions for adsorption azeotropes but failed to reach definitive conclusions. Based on the generalized Langmuir isotherm model for multicomponent adsorption equilibria which takes into account the vacant site as part of the adsorbed phase, this study presents the thermodynamic condition for adsorption azeotropes as derived from the generalized Langmuir isotherm to be the equality of the ratios of adsorbed phase activity coefficient γi and adsorption equilibrium constant Kio for the two adsorbates in the binary 1-2 adsorption system, i.e., γ1/K1o = γ2/K2o. This adsorption azeotropic condition is analogous to the vapor-liquid equilibrium azeotropic condition, i.e., the equality of the products of liquid phase activity coefficient and saturation vapor pressure Pisat for the two components, i.e., γ1P1sat = γ2P2sat. We validated the thermodynamic condition for adsorption azeotropes with 14 azeotrope-forming adsorption systems in this study. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of the pressure, temperature, and adsorbed phase nonideality on azeotrope formation.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Preclinical models simulating adolescent substance use leading to increased vulnerability for substance use disorders in adulthood are needed. Here, we utilized a model of alcohol and nicotine co-use to assess adult addiction vulnerability following adolescent alcohol exposure. METHODS: In Experiment 1, adolescent (PND30) male and female Sprague-Dawley rats received 25% ethanol (EtOH) or a control solution via oral gavage every 8 h, for 2 days. In young adulthood, animals were tested with a 2-bottle choice between H20% and 15% EtOH or 0.2% saccharin/15% EtOH, followed by co-use of oral Sacc/EtOH and operant-based i.v. nicotine (0.03 mg/kg/infusion) self-administration. In Experiment 2, adolescents received control gavage, EtOH gavage, or no-gavage, and were tested in young adulthood in a 2-bottle choice between H20% and 15% EtOH, Sacc/EtOH, or 0.2% saccharin. RESULTS: In Experiment 1, the adolescent EtOH gavage reduced adult EtOH consumption in the 2-bottle choice, but not during the co-use phase. During co-use, Sacc/EtOH served as an economic substitute for nicotine. In Experiment 2, the control gavage increased adult EtOH drinking relative to the no-gavage control group, an effect that was mitigated in the EtOH gavage group. In both experiments, treatment group differences in EtOH consumption were largely driven by males. CONCLUSIONS: EtOH administration via oral gavage in adolescence decreased EtOH consumption in adulthood without affecting EtOH and nicotine co-use. Inclusion of a no-gavage control in Experiment 2 revealed that the gavage procedure increased adult EtOH intake and that including EtOH in the gavage buffered against the effect.
