The motion of solutes in a solvent inducedby thermal gradient is termed as thermodiffusion. Soret coefficient ST is used to quantify the ratio of the established concentrationgradient to the thermal gradient. This phenomenon being very sensitive to the nature of solute-solvent interactions , hasgained a lot of interest in the recent years, especially in the context of biological interactions. Many solutions of interest inthermodiffusion or thermophoresis involve aqueous solutions with ions . To identify the underlying principles, we systematicallyinvestigate the thermodiffusion of aqueous alkali halide solutions. There have been previous reports where the behavior of certainaqueous halide salts under thermal gradient have been studied and for some salts a minimum being observed in the ST with saltconcentration . In this work, we measured the thermodiffusion behavior of salts (KCl, KBr, KI, NaI and LiI) in water in atemperature range of 15-45o C, with concentration being varied from 0.5-4 mol/kg by infrared thermal diffusion forced Rayleighscattering (IR-TDFRS). We find for the iodide salts a minimum of ST with concentration, while KCl and KBr show monotonousbehavior. We will discuss the temperature and concentration dependence of ST using the knowledge how different salts distortthe hydration layer. Furthermore, our systematic studies are discussed in context of recent simulations . These results willhelp to obtain a better understanding of the thermophoretic response of protein ligand systems typically studied in buffer solutionscontaining alkali halides to maintain the stability. 000888782 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-551$$a551 - Functional Macromolecules and Complexes (POF3-551)$$cPOF3-551$$fPOF III$$x0 000888782 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131034$$aWiegand, Simone$$b1 000888782 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/888782/files/poster.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000888782 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:888782$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000888782 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)179461$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 000888782 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131034$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b1$$kFZJ 000888782 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-551$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-550$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lBioSoft – Fundamentals for future Technologies in the fields of Soft Matter and Life Sciences$$vFunctional Macromolecules and Complexes$$x0 000888782 9141_ $$y2020 000888782 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000888782 920__ $$lyes 000888782 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IBI-4-20200312$$kIBI-4$$lBiomakromolekulare Systeme und Prozesse$$x0 000888782 980__ $$aposter 000888782 980__ $$aVDB 000888782 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000888782 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBI-4-20200312 000888782 9801_ $$aFullTexts
