Laboratory Results

Retention of cationic dispersed rosin size was studied via turbidity measurements on stock filtrate with different alum and dispersed rosin size dosages. Stock charge characteristics were analyzed using both an analysis of charge demand determined via a streaming current detector and an evaluation of zeta potential of the fibers by streaming potential measurement. The results indicated that an optimum amount of alum existed such that good sizing retention was maintained throughout a wide range of dispersed rosin size dosages. However, when an excessive amount of alum was used and fines and colloidal particles were transitioned from anionic to cationic, the cationic size retention was reduced. Laboratory results were confirmed with a paper machine trial. All data suggested that a stock charge study was necessary to identify optimal alum dosage for a cationic dispersed rosin sizing program.

This article studies the stability of hybrid TiO2 based nanofluid by varying the ultra-sonication time, weight fraction between carbon and TiO2 and type of surfactant. The objective of this research are synthesise volume fraction of 0.1% C - TiO2 hybrid nanofluid with 15ml of distilled water and study the effect of weight fraction between C and TiO2, type of surfactant and ultra-sonication time to the stability of hybrid nanofluid. Weight fraction between C – TiO2 will be varied at 0% - 100%, 10% - 90%, 50% - 50%, 90% - 10% and 100% - 0%. Different ultrasonication time will be used which are 1, 3 and 5 hours to determine the optimum ultrasonication time for the hybrid nanofluid. Sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and Triton X-100 will be added into hybrid nanofluid to determine the effect of surfactant to the stability of hybrid nanofluid. The morphology and particle size characteristic of TiO2 and carbon powder is evaluated by using X-ray diffraction and FESEM. It is shown that TiO2 has particle size of around 30nm while carbon powder used is flat shaped. In this research, two steps method is used to synthesise the hybrid nanofluid. After mixing the two powder together, it will be mixed with distilled water by magnetic stirring for 3 hours. Then ultrasonication is included in synthesise of hybrid nanofluid to prevent agglomeration of particles. The pH values of each hybrid nanofluid is measured by using pH meter. Two stability evaluations are carried out which are centrifugation and zeta potential measurement. Centrifugation is carried out right after hybrid nanofluid is done ultra-sonicated for 30 minutes at 2000 RPM. Hybrid nanofluid that is ultra-sonicated for 3 hours resulted to achieve highest stability with highest value of zeta potential of -21.8 mV. 100% C - 0% TiO2 hybrid nanofluid has the highest zeta potential measurement of -37.6 mV. Finally, for type of surfactant, SDS able to enhance stability of hybrid nanofluid more than Triton X-100. The zeta potential of hybrid nanofluid after addition of SDS reached -47.0 mV which is higher than Triton X-100 which only achieve zeta potential measurement of -24.3 mV.

Streaming Potentials

Seismoelectric effects and streaming potentials play an important role in geophysical applications. The key parameter for those phenomena is the streaming potential coupling coefficient, which is, for example, dependent on the zeta potential of the interface of the porous rocks. Comparison of an existing theoretical model to experimental data sets from available published data for streaming potentials has been performed. However, the existing experimental data sets are based on samples with dissimilar fluid conductivity, pH of pore fluid, temperature, and sample compositions. All those dissimilarities may cause the observed deviations. To critically assess the models, we have carried out streaming potential measurement as a function of electrolyte concentration and temperature for a set of well-defined consolidated samples. The results show that the existing theoretical model is not in good agreement with the experimental observations when varying the electrolyte concentration, especially at low electrolyte concentration. However, if we use a modified model in which the zeta potential is considered to be constant over the electrolyte concentration, the model fits the experimental data well in a whole range of concentration. Also, for temperature dependence, the comparison shows that the theoretical model is not fully adequate to describe the experimental data but does describe correctly the increasing trend of the coupling coefficient as function of temperature.

The determination of electrokinetic properties such as the zeta-potential of polymer samples with classical methods is laborious and time-consuming. For this reasons, a reliable, fast, and easy to use measurement system based on streaming potential measurement was developed. In this novel measurement system, streaming potential is created by an oscillating flow of a small amount of electrolyte solution through the sample media. In addition, this setup allows direct titration and therefore time-resolved monitoring of changes in zeta-potential in a seconds timescale. With this instrument, the concentration- as well as the time-dependent adsorption behaviour of various non-ionic, anionic and cationic surfactants on a novel, regenerated cellulosic polymer was investigated. This new cellulose-based, fibrous textile polymer is permanently cationised, not only at the surface but throughout the whole fibre. The results show that even very low concentrations of surfactant, due to its charge and chemical composition, highly influence the surface charge of the polymer in a large range. Furthermore, the results for this new textile material are compared with other textile fibres, e. g. wool.

Abstract As carbonate reservoirs are mostly oil-wet, the potential for the success of a waterflooding is lower. Therefore, a primary focus during waterflooding such reservoirs is on the ionic composition and salinity of injected brine which are able to impact the alteration of the rock wettability favorably by altering the surface charge towards a higher negative value or close to zero. The objective of this study is to employ zeta potentiometric studies comprising streaming potential and streaming current techniques to quantify the surface interactions and charges between the carbonate rock and fluid type as a function of the variations in its ionic state and rock saturation. Zeta potentiometric studies were conducted on carbonate rock samples to understand the behavior of different aqueous solutions by variation in the brine's salinity and ionic composition and the results were integrated with wettability studies. The concentrations of potential-determining ions (PDIs) such as SO42-, Mg2+ and Ca2+ in the injected brines are deemed responsible for altering the wettability state of the carbonate rocks. Several diluted brines (25%, 10% and 1% diluted seawater) and smart brines have been investigated. Smart brines were prepared by spiking the concentration of major PDIs. All zeta potential measurements were conducted using a specially designed zeta potentiometer sample-holding clamp capable of using the whole core plugs rather than pulverized rock samples. A major advantage of using the whole core sample is that the same core can be used in subsequent coreflooding tests, thus making zeta potentiometric results more relevant and representative for a particular rock-fluid system used in the study. The classical streaming potential and streaming current techniques were used for zeta potential measurement. The Fairbrother-Mastin approach was used where the streaming potential is measured against different pressure differentials. Measurements were also carried out for brines with rock samples of different states: oil-saturated, water-saturated and rock samples cleaned with organic solvents to determine any likely variations in surface charge interactions. The results of our experiments imply that the value of zeta potential either increases or becomes more negative with increasing percentage of dilution (25%, 10%, and 1%). This can be attributed to electrical double-layer expansion which is primarily caused by reduced ionic strength. Furthermore, with measurements done on smart brines, zeta potential value was also found to be increased when different diluted brines are spiked with ionic concentration of PDIs such as sulfate. This could have been caused by surface ion alteration mechanism where PDIs get adsorbed on rock surface causing possible detachment of oil droplets. Both the phenomena are known mechanisms for altering wettability towards more water wetness in carbonate rocks and are discussed in detail.

Tris (tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane) was used as the dispersant to enhance the colloidal stability of titania nanoparticles in different alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and butanol). Acetic acid (AA) was also used to increase the ionization of Tris via acid-base reaction. The effect of Tris on the stability of suspensions in the absence as well as the presence of AA was investigated by different analysis, such as conductivity and zeta potential measurement as well as FTIR analysis. It was found that Tris is protonated and adsorbed on the titania nanoparticles. It enhances their zeta potential and thus colloidal stability. The optimum concentration of Tris increased with molecular weight of alcohol (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.6 g/l for methanolic, ethanolic, isopropanolic and butanolic suspensions, respectively). The optimum concentration of Tris decreased to 0.1 g/ l for all AA containing suspensions except the methanolic ones. Titania coating was obtained by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) performed at 60 V. The current density and in-situ kinetics of deposition were recorded during EPD. It was found that the kinetics of EPD is the fastest for the suspensions with the optimum concentration of Tris (the highest zeta potential). Calcium phosphate phases were formed on the surface of titania coating after its immersion for one week in SBF at 37.5?C.

ABSTRACTAdvances in nanotechnology observe new applications in many areas. Recently a great extent of research has been focused on the study of magnetic nanoparticles due to their potential application in areas such as bioscience and medicine. Magnetic nanoparticles are frequently used in biomedical and biotechnology applications since these particles associated to a given medicine are good candidates for drug release.In this work zeta potential measurements of both hexagonal barium ferrites (magnetic nanoparticles), and an antibiotic known as tetracycline were carried out. The knowledge of the measured values establishes the possibility of bringing the two particles together in order to adsorb the tetracycline on the magnetic nanoparticles, since the surface charge play an essential role in the adsorption of the pharmaceutical drug on nanomaterials (i.e., tetracycline on barium ferrites).Experimental results show the feasibility to adsorb tetracycline nanoparticles on barium hexaferrite solids at pH 7.0, based on the knowledge of the opposite electrical surface charge of the two solid species through the zeta potential measurement.

The Stability

The aim of study was to comparatively evaluate emulsions containing volatile oils e.g. peppermint oil, optamint and tea tree oil, and those containing the combination of volatile oils with soybean oil. The emulsions were prepared and then characterized by monitoring of particle size, visual observation of creaming and cracking, and zeta potential measurement. The results showed that particle size of emulsions containing only volatile oils was in the micron range (3-10 mm). However, the particle size was decreased to less than 300 nm after incorporation with soybean oil (1:1 by weight), suggesting the formation of nanoemulsions. The nanoemulsions containing both volatile oils and soybean oil demonstrated almost 100% creaming and did not show any evidence of cracking. Additionally, percent creaming and particle size were not significantly changed even after accelerated stability testing. The results indicated the good physical stability. The stabilization of emulsion might relate with the high surface charge as observed by higher zeta potential of emulsions prepared from volatile oils combined with soybeans oil. Glycerides from soybean should give more negative charge to the oleaginous phase that help preventing aggregation of oil droplets and thus increased the stability of nanoemulsions. In conclusion, the results from this study could provide the basic guideline for preparation of stable nanoemulsions for food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical fields in the near future.
