    Abstract:
    The phase separation of a mixture of water and isobutyric acid (iBA) confined in the pore space of Controlled Pore Glass (CPG) 10-75 has been studied by 1H NMR relaxometry and 1H-pulsed field gradient (PFG) diffusion measurements. For an acid-rich mixture (mass fraction 54 wt% iBA), evidence of a phase separation process in the pores was obtained, which occurs in a temperature window between 32 and 39 degrees C, as indicated in the PFG data by an anomalous temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient and in the relaxation data by a bi-exponential magnetization decay. The phase separation temperature of the mixture in the pore is slightly lower than in the bulk mixture of the same composition (41 degrees C) and extends over a finite temperature range. A qualitative model of the phase separation process in the pores is developed, which assumes a temperature-dependent domain-like structure of the liquid below the phase transition temperature and a breakdown of these domains upon reaching the transition temperature.
