Mixtures of latex particles and the surfactant of opposite charge used as interface stabilizers – influence of particle contact angle, zeta potential, flocculation and shear energy

Using mixtures of latex and surfactant of opposite charges we decouple the effect of the charge and contact angle of the particles on the interface stabilization. We find that the key-parameters are the flocculation state of the particles and the shear energy used to produce the foams.

Abstract Background Recent preventive strategies for dental caries focus on targeting the mechanisms underlying biofilm formation, including inhibiting bacterial adhesion. A promising approach to prevent bacterial adhesion is to modify the composition of acquired salivary pellicle. This in vitro study investigated the effect and possible underlying mechanism of pellicle modification by casein phosphopeptide (CPP) on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) initial adhesion, and the impact of fluoride on the efficacy of CPP.Methods The salivary pellicle-coated hydroxyapatite (s-HA) disc was modified by 2.5% CPP or 2.5% CPP supplemented with 900 ppm fluoride solutions. After cultivation of S. mutans, the adherent bacteria were visualized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and quantitatively evaluated using the plate count method. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to evaluate the proportions of total and dead S. mutans. The concentrations of total, free, and bound calcium and fluoride in CPP and fluoride-doped CPP solutions were determined. The water contact angle and zeta potential of s-HA with and without modification were measured. The data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by a Turkey post hoc multiple comparison test.Results Initial adhesion of S. mutans to s-HA was inhibited in response to pellicle modification by CPP and fluoride-doped CPP, and the latter was more efficient. CLSM analysis showed that the proportion of dead S. mutans did not differ between the groups. Water contact angle and zeta potential decreased after pellicle modification, and both were lowest in the fluoride-doped CPP group.Conclusions Pellicle modification by CPP inhibited S. mutans initial adhesion to s-HA, possibly by reducing hydrophobicity and negative charge on the s-HA surface, and incorporating fluoride into CPP enhanced its anti-adhesion effect.

Abstract The flotation separation and mechanism of dextrin on chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite surface were investigated using micro-flotation tests, zeta potential measurements, infrared spectroscopy, contact angle measurement and surface adsorption experiments. The micro-flotation test showed that dextrin had obvious inhibitory effect on arsenopyrite flotation, but had no inhibitory effect on chalcopyrite flotation. After treating the surface of arsenopyrite with dextrin, the infrared spectra showed that new characteristic peaks, indicating that chemical adsorption and significant interaction between dextrin and arsenopyrite particles. Zeta potential measurements, contact angle measurement and surface adsorption experiments showed that the selective adsorption of dextrin added a large number of hydrophilic groups to the surface of arsenopyrite, but had little effect on chalcopyrite. In addition, the macromolecular chain structure of dextrin may hinder the attachment of collector molecules to arsenopyrite. The combined effect of these two aspects makes the arsenopyrite treated with dextrin lose its hydrophobicity and enables the separation of chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite.

In order to have a better understand on the interaction among superplasticizer, latex and cement grains in the fresh cement paste, the zeta potential and the adsorption of polymer on the cement were investigated in this study. The zeta potential was measured by using the ZetaProbe instrument, and the adsorption rate of latex was analyzed by sedimentation test. The zeta potential results show that the zeta potential of pure cement paste is positive and increasing slightly along the first 30mins; the latex particles can be adsorbed by cement grains, comparing with SAE latex, the adsorption of PAE latex is lower, and PAE latex has a smaller influence on the hydration of cement paste; the presence of superplasticizer can affect the adsorption of polymer particles on the cement; the sedimentation test results show that the presence of PC and NF can reduce the adsorption of latex particles, when the dosage of PC is more than 0.3%, the adsorption rate of latex particles is reduced significantly; when the dosage of NF is 1%, the adsorption rate of latexes is reduced less than that in the case of PC.

The use of untreated recycled water has negative effects in the flotation of zinc sulfide ores due to the presence of dissolved species, such as magnesium and calcium. Although it has been found that magnesium is a more potent depressant than calcium, it has not been investigated in this role or for the effect of adding sodium carbonate. The results of an investigation to evaluate the effect of magnesium on the hydrophobicity of Cu-activated sphalerite conditioned with Sodium Isopropyl Xanthate (SIPX) are presented. Zeta potential of natural and Cu-activated sphalerite as a function of the conditioning pH and Cu(II) concentration, respectively, was first evaluated. Later, the effect of pH and presence of magnesium on the contact angle of Cu-activated sphalerite conditioned with SIPX was studied; it was also evaluated the effect of sodium carbonate to counteract the effect of magnesium. Cu-activation enhances the zeta potential of sphalerite up to a concentration of 5 mg/L. Contact angle tests, thermodynamic simulation, and surface analysis showed that magnesium hydroxide precipitates on the sphalerite surface at pH 9.6, decreasing its hydrophobicity. Addition of sodium carbonate as alkalinizing agent precipitates the magnesium in the form of a species that remained dispersed in the bulk solution, favoring the contact angle of Cu-activated sphalerite and, consequently, its hydrophobicity. It is concluded that the use of sodium carbonate as alkalinizing agent favors the precipitation of magnesium as hydromagnesite (Mg5(OH)2(CO3)4∙4H2O) instead of hydroxide allowing the recovery of sphalerite.

Previous studies on Nanoparticles (NPs) application for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods have revealed their effective role in the rock wettability alteration, relative Interfacial Tension (IFT) and oil viscosity reduction, formation and stabilization of the emulsions, and reduced asphaltene precipitation, which are all in direct relationship with oil/water interfacial properties. This study focuses on the interfacial properties of oil/water in the presence of Titania NPs and different ions at different pressures and temperatures. For this, different concentrations of TiO2 NPs in the Formation Water (FW) were prepared to monitor the effects of NPs on the oil/water IFT, carbonate rock wettability, zeta potential, and asphaltene adsorption. The results on IFT values indicated that NPs behavior at high pressures and temperatures is completely different, as compared to the ambient conditions, and 1000 ppm NPs introduced the lowest IFT at 600 psi and 60 °C. This reduction is potentially attributed to the asphaltene adsorption at the oil/water interface by TiO2 NPs, which hinders the asphaltene deposition at the interface and in turn IFT increasing. Contact angle results revealed two distinctive behaviors for NPs at high and low concentrations. In other words, with the first interval (below the optimum concentration), an increase in NPs concentration led to a quick wettability alteration toward the water-wet condition, and with the second one (above the optimum concentration), there was an increase in contact angle with an increase in NPs concentration, which is due to the NPs stacking near the rock surface. These results were in good accordance with zeta potential measurements, in which 1000 ppm nanofluid presented the highest stability (zeta potential value of −46.9 mV). Batch adsorption experiments resulted that catalytic TiO2 NPs are capable of adsorbing asphaltene at the oil/water interface. In addition, the results on fitting experimental data to the Langmuir and Freundlich Isotherms showed that the adsorption best fitted Langmuir Isotherm and hence the adsorption type is a monolayer.

Abstract This study focusses on the investigation of wettability alteration behavior during low salinity waterflood (LSWF) process in a tight carbonate reservoir through Zeta potential studies in conjunction with spontaneous imbibition tests and estimation of the contact angle between the wetting fluid and the rock surface. This will help in understanding the role rock-oil-brine interactions play during an LSWF process. The classical streaming potential technique were used to determine Zeta potential. Measurements were carried out with diluted brines using different rock samples of in two states: oil-saturated and brine-saturated. The experimental results imply that the value of zeta potential becomes more negative with increasing percentage of dilution (25%, 10%, and 1%). This is attributed to electrical double-layer expansion which is caused, primarily, by the reduced ionic strength. We concluded that rock saturated with oil may give an insight on oil rock interactions while the rock saturated with brine may give insight on rock-brine interactions. The dilution of water helps increase the electrostatic repulsive forces between the two interfaces, which in turns, leads to the incremental recovery during LSWF process. This observation was also confirmed by coreflooding and wettability experiments through spontaneous imbibition tests and contact angle measurements conducted using the same oil-brine-rock systems. This is an investigative study of oil-brine-rock interaction behavior during a LSWF process that is difficult to accomplish through and during a conventional coreflooding displacement test. In addition, this study also couples the relationship between the wettability alteration and oil-brine-rock interactions during an LSWF process.
