Abstract Diatomite was modified by chitosan to prepare modified diatomite, and the modified diatomite in an optimized ratio was utilized in coal bio-flocculation. The interaction behavior and flocculation mechanism of modified diatomite on coal slurry water were investigated by single factor experiments, infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurements, and zeta potential measurements. The single factor experiments showed that when the amount of microbial flocculant added was 1.5 ml, the temperature of coal slurry water was 39 °C, the pH was 5, and the amount of modified diatomite was 0.2 g, after 30 min of sedimentation, the flocculation transmittance of the coal slurry water reached 84.3%. The infrared spectra showed that the -NH2 and -OH of the chitosan molecule had a polar interaction with the Si-OH bond in diatomite. The BET measurements showed that the specific surface area of diatomite was not a decisive factor affecting the flocculation effect. Zeta potential measurements indicated that the amino protonation of chitosan increased the isoelectric point (IEP) of modified diatomite. These results showed that modified diatomite has a good effect on coal bio-flocculation.

Orthogonal test was employed to inspect the flocculation of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides in this text. The result showed that Rhodopseudomonas spheroides has good performance in flocculation effect of coal slurry. The hightest flocculation ratio is 93.4%. The optimum technological combination of flocculation test has been obtained:incubation time:12h,Coagulation aid dosage:2mL,Bacterium fluid amount:2mL,The categories of flocculants: the cell homogenates,pH:7.The FTIR analysis showed that the extractive of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides contain a large number of acidic Polysaccharides which has flocculent effect component.The main flocculation is “adsorption-bridge” between Molecular bioflocculant and coal slurry.

This paper aims at solving the poor rheology of clay-water- acid-resistant overglaze slip. Natronite, tripolyphosphate sodium and composite deflocculant compounded of sodium natronite and sodium tripolyphosphate in proportion of 1:2 respectively were taken as deflocculants, and single-factor test and ring test were used to measure the variations in zeta-potential, viscosity and thixotropic. The results show that 0.3% of the composite deflocculants are better than any other single deflocculants on clay-water-acid-resistant overglaze slip, which has a better liquidity, a better thixotropy and a better stability that can avoid defects on glaze such as crawling, pinhole, hard spot, focal spot. Some factual and theoretic bases can be provided for enamel industry.

A combined flocculant (CAFS) was prepared with Al2(SO4)3·18H2O, FeSO4·7H2O and starch. The flocculation mechanism of reactive brilliant red X-3B was studied. The results showed that CAFS was a cationic polymeric flocculant with high charge density, and its mesh starch chains grafted polyaluminum and polyferrous. At the preliminary stage, the main flocculation mechanism was adsorption and charge neutralization. At a later stage, the high molecular weight and flexible linear chains of CAFS initiated bridge-aggregation and sweep-flocculation. Moreover, the zeta potential and dynamic changes of flocs were closely related to flocculant dosages and the pH. The optimum dosage of CAFS and pH value were 0.990 mg/L and 5.0. Taken together, these results suggested CAFS as a novel flocculant in water treatment, with good results for the studied conditions.

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 paper presents the findings of the stability, thermal conductivity and viscosity of CNTs (doped with 10 wt% graphene)- TiO2 hybrid nanofluids under various concentrations. While the usage of cutting fluid in machining operation is necessary for removing the heat generated at the cutting zone, the excessive use of it could lead to environmental and health issue to the operators. Therefore, the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) to replace the conventional flooding was introduced. The MQL method minimises the usage of cutting fluid as a step to achieve a cleaner environment and sustainable machining. However, the low thermal conductivity of the base fluid in the MQL system caused the insufficient removal of heat generated in the cutting zone. Addition of nanoparticles to the base fluid was then introduced to enhance the performance of cutting fluids. The ethylene glycol used as the base fluid, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanoparticle mixed to produce nanofluids with concentrations of 0.02 to 0.1 wt.% with an interval of 0.02 wt%. The mixing ratio of TiO2: CNTs was 90:10 and ratio of SDBS (surfactant): CNTs was 10:1. The stability of nanofluid checked using observation method and zeta potential analysis. The thermal conductivity and viscosity of suspension were measured at a temperature range between 30˚C to 70˚C (with increment of 10˚C) to determine the relationship between concentration and temperature on nanofluid’s thermal physical properties. Based on the results obtained, zeta potential value for nanofluid range from -50 to -70 mV indicates a good stability of the suspension. Thermal conductivity of nanofluid increases as an increase of temperature and enhancement ratio is within the range of 1.51 to 4.53 compared to the base fluid. Meanwhile, the viscosity of nanofluid shows decrements with an increase of the temperature remarks significant advantage in pumping power. The developed nanofluid in this study found to be stable with enhanced thermal conductivity and decrease in viscosity, which at once make it possible to be use as nanolubricant in machining operation.

The study focused on the green synthesis of silver nanobioconjugates (AgNPs) from phenolic-rich fruit source, Vitis vinifera seed extract and its major component phenolic, resveratrol respectively. Sunlight exposure for 20 minutes was the method of choice for the synthesis of AgNPs of the extract as well as the phenolic, resveratrol. The synthesized nanobioconjugates were characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Polydispersity index, Zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The reduction of silver ions was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy with peaks at 440nm for both nanobioconjugates synthesized from seed extract and compound. The nanobioconjugates showed the spherical in shape with 14-35nm in size and crystalline in nature. The conjugates are well dispersed with 0.301 and 0.287 polydispersity index and the zeta potential range at -13.6 and -14.3mV for stability. The FTRI data proved that the components in grape seeds act as good reductants and stabilizers for the silver nanobioconjugate synthesis. All the synthesized nanobioconjugates exhibited steady and sustained release of the medicinal components conjugated, proving their druggability, and were biocompatible with human cells, demonstrating their safety. The findings of the study validate the anticancer properties of silver nanobioconjugates of Vitis vinifera and its active component resveratrol.
