Notes:
The diffusion of Direct Blue 76 dye in aqueous dilute polymer solutions was studied using the capillary method. The polymer systems studied included dilute solution of carboxymethyl cellulose, poly(ethylene oxide), and polyacrylamide. It was found that the diffusion coefficient of Direct Blue 76 in carboxymethyl cellulose is higher than that in pure water, while in polyacrylamide and poly(ethylene oxide) solutions the value is lower than that in pure water. The diffusion coefficient of Direct Blue was found to decrease with increasing polymer concentration in case of poly(ethylene oxide) and polyacrylamide, while in case of carboxymethyl cellulose the diffusion coefficient increases with polymer concentration. The effect of temperature on the diffusion coefficient of Direct Blue 76 in the three polymers was found to obey the Arrhenius equation. The activation energy for diffusion of Direct Blue 76 in water, poly(ethylene oxide), polyacrylamide, and carboxymethyl cellulose was found to be 4.38, 7.7, 5.44, and 5 kcal, respectively, for polymer concentration of 0.25 g/l.
