Abstract We have studied the surface dilatational properties of aqueous foaming dispersions containing mixtures of silica nanoparticles (Ludox CL) and sulfobetaine (LHSB) in Tahe formation water. The effects of temperature and pH on the surface dilatational modulus and time shift were studied by oscillating drop module (ODM). The ODM results show that the surface dilatational modulus of mixtures of CL and LHSB is large and increases with the decrease of surface area deformation, which results from hydrophobic interaction between adsorbed mixtures. Under test conditions, the Gibbs stability criterion E > σ/2 against foam coarsening is fulfilled. Results of Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) show that an uniform adsorption layer is established at the air-water interface. Temperature and pH-value influence the dilatation modulus of the surface by hydrophobic interaction or adsorption. Time shift has a similar variation trend. This is a surprising feature. It suggests that LHSB adsorbed on CL can respond to surface tension gradient. The time shift difference results from the response of LHSB at different adsorption sites. In addition, sand pack tests show that compared to LHSB, a finer foam was produced by the mixtures CL/LHSB due to the capillary-induced \snap-off". Thus, higher pressure difference and higher oil recovery could be achieved.

The interaction of CO2-rich water with olivine was studied using geochemical reaction modelling in order to gain insight into the effects of temperature, acid supply (CO2) and extent of reaction on the secondary mineralogy, water chemistry and mass transfer. Olivine (Fo93) was dissolved at 150 and 250ºC and pCO2 of 2 and 20 bar in a closed system and an open system with secondary minerals allowed to precipitate. The progressive water–rock interaction resulted in increased solution pH, with gradual carbonate formation starting at pH 5 and various Mg-OH and Mg-Si minerals becoming dominant at pH>8. The major factor determining olivine alteration is the pH of the water. In turn, the pH value is determined by acid supply, reaction progress and temperature.

Sawdust supported nano-zerovalent (NZVI/SD) iron was synthesized by treating sawdust with ferrous sulphate followed by reduction with NaBH4. The NZVI/SD was characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR and Chemical method. Adsorption of As (III) by NZVI/SD was investigated and the maximum uptake of As (III) was found at pH value of 7.74 and equilibrium time of 3 hrs. The adsorption isotherm modelling revealed that the equilibrium adsorption data were better fitted with the Langmuir isotherm model compared with the Freundlich Isotherm model. This study revealed that the maximum As (III) ions adsorption capacity was found to be 12.66 mg/g for using NZVI/SD adsorbent. However, the kinetics data were tested by pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models; and it was observed that the adsorption data could be well fitted with pseudo-second-order kinetics for As (III) adsorption onto NZVI/SD depending on both adsorbate concentration and adsorption sites. The result of this study suggested that NZVI/SD could be developed as a prominent environment-friendly adsorbent for the removal of As (III) ions from aqueous systems.

Abstract Adsorbents with superior adsorption capacity and facile recyclability are viewed as promising materials for dye wastewater treatment. In this work, a novel sulfonate decorated cotton fiber as a biodegradable and recyclable adsorbent was fabricated for highly efficient removal of cationic dyes. Herein, the poly(sodium p-styrenesulfonate-co-N-methylol acrylamide) (P(SSNa-co-NMAM)) with SSNa units as adsorption sites and NMAM units as thermal-crosslinking points was synthesized for modification of cotton fibers in a large scale at high temperature (160 oC). The various characterization investigations confirmed the successful construction of the P(SSNa-co-NMAM) coated cotton fibers (PCF). As expected, the as-obtained adsorbent presented outstanding adsorption performance toward cationic dyes in the both static and dynamic states, even in the synthetic effluent. The adsorption processes of cationic dyes onto the PCF were well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model and Pseudo-second-order kinetics, respectively. The thermodynamics study showed that the adsorption reaction of the cationic dyes onto PCF was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The maximum adsorption capacities of PCF toward MEB, RhB and MG were 3976.10, 2879.80 and 3071.55 mg/g, respectively. The responsible adsorption of dyes ontothe PCF was electrostatic interaction. Moreover, the adsorption capacity of PCF toward cationic dyes was slight influenced by pH value of solution, because of the stable feature of sulfonate moiety in acid and alkali. In addition, the as-prepared PCF exhibited satisfactory recyclability and reusability. Given the aforementioned results, the as-obtained PCF is a promising adsorbent with great potential for practical application in the dye-contaminated wastewater remediation.

Surface temperature fields and statistics are presented for the case of sub-surface grid-generated turbulence impacting an air/water interface. Temperature measurements are obtained with an infrared camera, sensitive in the 3–5 micron wavelength range. Results indicate that increased grid oscillation frequencies, and shallower grid depths, lead to increased surface mixing, yielding lower values of RMS temperature. Non-dimensionalization of the RMS temperatures using the difference in the average surface and the bulk fluid temperatures, collapses the data obtained for different grid depths and oscillation frequencies. This scaling is related to the thermal boundary layer thickness. The results are compared to the baseline case of turbulence due to evaporative convection without an oscillating grid.
