Composite Pipes

This paper focuses on the verifying the possibility of producing Al2O3-ZrO2 composite pipes with a gradient structure using centrifugal slip casting method. The aim of the research is to define the correlation between the rheological properties of aqueous suspensions of ceramic powders with different solid loading and obtaining the ZrO2 phase gradient in the Al2O3 matrix. Such products, due to their unique properties, can be utilized in the transport of aggressive substances, even in extreme temperature or corrosive conditions. The suspensions and the sintered samples were characterized by: broad rheological analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, stereological analysis and Vickers hardness tests. The study reports on a series of samples produced of ceramic suspensions (70 vol.% Al2O3–30 vol.% ZrO2) differing in the total solid loading in the range of 30–55 vol.%. The results clearly indicate that obtaining the gradient structure of ceramic-ceramic composite pipes is closely related to the rheological properties of the suspensions from which the samples are cast. The phase gradient is obtainable from suspensions 30–40 vol.%, in which the possibility of moving ZrO2 particles relative to the Al2O3 is quite high—these suspensions are characterized by low viscosity and the dominance of viscous over elastic properties (G′ > G″).

Beer Production

During the production of beer, and especially beer wort, the main wastes are spent grain and hot trub, i.e., the so-called “hot break.” Combined with yeast after fermentation, they represent the most valuable wastes. Hot trub is also one of the most valuable by-products. Studies on the chemical composition of these sediments and their rheological properties as waste products will contribute to their effective disposal and even further use as valuable pharmaceutical and cosmetic raw materials. So far, hot trub has been studied for morphology and particle distribution depending on the raw material composition and beer wort extract. However, there are no preliminary studies on the rheological properties of hot trub and hops. In particular, no attention has yet been paid to the dependence of these properties on the hop variety or different protein sources used. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different hopping methods on hot trub viscosity and beer wort physicochemical parameters. Additionally, the hop solutions were measured at different temperatures. A microbiological analysis of hop sediments was also performed to determine the post-process survival of selected microorganisms in these wastes. For manufacturers of pumps used in the brewing industry, the most convenient material is that of the lowest viscosity. Low viscosity hot trub can be removed at lower velocities, which reduces costs and simplifies washing and transport. The sediments also had similar equilibrium viscosity values at high shear rates.

Hyperbranched Structure

Both better mechanical and rheological properties are pursued for composite solid propellant. In this work, varying proportions of a modified hyperbranched polyester (MHBPE) were added to HTPE/AP/Al propellant. The static tensile property as one kind of mechanical properties of MHBPE/HTPE/AP/Al propellant were found to be superior to those of blank HTPE/AP/Al propellant as a result of the entanglement and interpenetration of molecular chains caused by the introduction of the hyperbranched structure. Evaluations on the related improved creep resistance and stress relaxation performance further demonstrated the advantages of introduction of MHBPE to HTPE/AP/Al propellant. Rheological properties of HTPE/AP/Al propellant with and without MHBPE during the casting process were investigated and compared and the results confirmed the improvement benefiting from low viscosity and loose void structure. Thus, modified hyperbranched polyester provided a novel route to potentially meet the requirements for propellant manufacturing and applications.

Porous Hydroxyapatite

A bimodal porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) body with high flexural strength was prepared through slip casting. HAp fine powder used in this study was synthesized by wet milling, drying and heating of a mixture of calcium hydrogen phosphate di-hydrate and calcium carbonate. The synthesized HAp powder was 0.320.05 μm in size and 38.10.8m2/g in specific surface area. The slip was prepared by adding deflocculant and foaming reagent. The optimum value for the minimum viscosity in the present HAp slip with respect to its solid loading and the optimum amount of the deflocculant were studied. The total porosity of the specimens obtained from a slip of 48 wt% HAp solid loading is in the range of 49 – 61vol %, and the resultant porous HAp sintered body had large spherical pores of 300 -m with interconnecting rectangular voids. Many small pores in the size range of 2-3 -m or below were observed in the specimen obtained by heating at 1100, and 1200 . The flexural strength of the bimodal porous HAp ceramics sintered at 1200 C showed a large value of 17.6 MPa, with a porosity of 60.5vol.

Slurry Preparation

Preparation of aqueous ceramics slurry with high solid volume and low viscosity is premise and key step of gelcasting, and dispersant play important role in slurry preparation. In this paper, triammonium citrate (TAC) was used as dispersant of PMN-PZT piezoelectric ceramics slurry, the effects of TAC on slurry stability and rheological properties and dispersion mechanism of TAC were investigated by sedimentation test, viscosity, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR analysis. The SEM results indicated that TAC could reduce the agglomeration of powder particles and make ceramic particles well-dispersed. FTIR indicated that strong chemical absorption occurred between TAC and PMN-PZT powder, and slurry stability and rheological properties of PMN-PZT slurry were improved through electrostatic interaction of TAC. The effects of TAC on sedimentation volume and viscosity have similar tendency. When TAC content was 7.5vol% and pH of slurry was about10, PMN-PZT slurry suitable for gel-casting could be acquired.

N Removal

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been proven to be an effective low-cost treatment system, which utilizes the interactions of emergent plants and microorganisms in the removal of pollutants. CWs for wastewater treatment are normally designed and operated in horizontal-flow patterns, namely, free-water surface or subsurface flow, while a vertical-flow operation is normally used to treat sludge or septage having high solid contents. In this study, three pilot-scale CW beds, each with a surface area of 25 m2, having 65 cm sand-gravel substrata, supported by ventilated-drainage system and planting with narrow-leave cattails (Typha augustifolia), were fed with septage collected from Bangkok city, Thailand. To operate in a vertical-flow mode, the septage was uniformly distributed on the surface of the CW units. During the first year of operation, the CWs were operated at the solid loading rates (SLR) and application frequencies of, respectively, 80-500 kg total solid (TS)/m2.yr and 1-2 times weekly. It was found that the SLR of 250 kg TS/m2.yr resulted in the highest TS, total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) and total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) removal of 80, 96 and 92%, respectively. The TS contents of the dewatered septage on the CW beds were increased from 1-2% to 30-60% within an operation cycle. Because of the vertical-flow mode of operation and with the effectiveness of the ventilation pipes, there were high degrees of nitrification occurring in the CW beds. The nitrate (NO3) contents in the CW percolate were 180-250 mg/L, while the raw septage had NO3 contents less than 10 mg/L. Due to rapid flow-through of the percolates, there was little liquid retained in the CW beds, causing the cattail plants to wilt, especially during the dry season. To reduce the wilting effects, the operating strategies in the second year were modified by ponding the percolate in the CW beds for periods of 2 and 6 days prior to discharge. This operating strategy was found beneficial not only for mitigating plant wilting, but also for increasing N removal through enhanced denitrification activities in the CW beds. During these 2 year operations, the dewatered septage was not removed from the CW beds and no adverse effects on the septage dewatering efficiency were observed.

Gelcasting Process

Gelcasting process as a promising method for fabrication of reliable ceramics has been utilized to develop alumina-zirconia nanocomposites from nanosized powders. Sedimentation and viscosity measurement were performed to find the accurate dispersing condition for production of alumina-zirconia nanocomposite slurry with high solid loading and low viscosity. The gelcasting was accomplished by in situ polymerization of an acrylamide base monomer. The effects of solid loading, viscosity and deairing were also studied. Finally, crack and flaw free samples with relative densities of 99%, were achieved from the optimal slurry with 35vol. % solid loading, by performing sintering at 1600°C for 2 hours. SEM micrographs showed dense microstructure with fine and homogenous dispersion of zirconia phase in the alumina matrix.
