In this paper, the domestic old book paper(DOBP) was subjected to deinking process. Surface and colloid characterisitics of DOBP deinking pulp(DIP) system was investigated. The relation between surface and colloid characterisitic changes and efficiency of deinking (brightness and residual ink particles content) was studied. Technical conditions that affect the deinking pulp’s colloid chemical behavior were also analyzed here.The results showed that colloid-chemical behavior of DOBP deinking system could be changed during the deinking process. The colloid-chemical behavior, such as Zeta potential and surface tention, had a certain corresponding relation with deinking efficiency of DOBP deinking system. When Zeta potential of the deinking system was more great, and surface tension was more low in a certain range(Zeta potential was -17.0~ -16.0mV and surface tension was 59.0~61.0mN/m), brightness and ink removal efficiency of DOBP will be improved.

In an attempt to develop drug delivery systems that bypass the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and prevent liver and intestinal degradation, it was concluded that nasal medication meets these criteria and can be used for drugs that have these drawbacks. The aim of this review is to present the influence of the properties of chitosan and its derivatives (mucoadhesion, permeability enhancement, surface tension, and zeta potential) on the development of suitable nasal drug delivery systems and on the nasal bioavailability of various active pharmaceutical ingredients. Interactions between chitosan and proteins, lipids, antigens, and other molecules lead to complexes that have their own applications or to changing characteristics of the substances involved in the bond (conformational changes, increased stability or solubility, etc.). Chitosan and its derivatives have their own actions (antibacterial, antifungal, immunostimulant, antioxidant, etc.) and can be used as such or in combination with other molecules from the same class to achieve a synergistic effect. The applicability of the properties is set out in the second part of the paper, where nasal formulations based on chitosan are described (vaccines, hydrogels, nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), powders, emulsions, etc.).

Lignosulfonate (LG), a water-soluble polymer from sulfite pulping process of lignocellulosic biomass, has been commercially applied as admixture for concrete. In this work, lignosulfonates were produced from alkaline lignin (AL) and enzymatic hydrolysis residue (EHR) by sulfomethylation and these lignosulfonates as water reducers for concrete were then evaluated. Results showed that 94.9% and 68.9% of lignins in AL and EHR could be sulfonated under optimum sulfomethylation conditions, respectively. The sulfonic groups in lignosulfonates from AL (AL-LG) and EHR (EHR-LG) were 1.6 mmol/g and 1.0 mmol/g, respectively. Surface tension and zeta potential analysis indicated that both AL-LG and EHR-LG can be potentially used to as dispersant for improving the fluidity of the cement paste, similarly to commercial lignosulfonate (CM-LG). Adding 0.2 wt % of AL-LG, EHR-LG, and CM-LG in the concrete, the compressive strength (28 days) of concretes increased from 38.4 Mpa to 41.6, 42.6, and 40.9 Mpa, respectively. These findings suggest that the lignosulfonate from biorefinery lignin by sulfomethylation can meet the industrial standards as water reducers for cement admixtures.

The effect of an divalent electrolyte Ca2+ on the flocculation of two different concentrations of anionic surfactant Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) with Al3+ has been investigated at different molar ratios Al3+ to SDBS at 298.15 K. The results showed that the flocculation characteristics of 0.01 mol•L-1 SDBS (above the critical micelle concentration CMC) and 0.001 mol•L-1 SDBS (below the CMC) were obviously different with an increase of dosages of Al3+. The z-average size of flocculate of 0.01 mol•L-1 SDBS with Al3+ decreased particularly with the pre-addition of Ca2+,It suggested the formation of the complexion Ca(SDBS)2. At optimization flocculation areas at 298.15K, pH values were all around 3.5 in the flocculation systems SDBS/Al3+ and Ca2+/SDBS/Al3+ whether the SDBS concentration above or below the CMC. The pre-addition of Ca2+ slightly affected other flocculation parameters of SDBS/Al3+ systems such as zeta potential, surface tension, conductivity and pH.

AbstractLiquid–liquid phase separation underlies the formation of biological condensates. Physically, such systems are microemulsions which have a general propensity to fuse and coalesce; however, many condensates persist as independent droplets inside cells. This stability is crucial for their functioning, but the physicochemical mechanisms that control the emulsion stability of condensates remain poorly understood. Here, by combining single-condensate zeta potential measurements, optical microscopy, tweezer experiments, and multiscale molecular modelling, we investigate how the forces that sustain condensates impact their stability against fusion. By comparing PR25:PolyU and FUS condensates, we show that a higher condensate surface charge correlates with a lower fusion propensity, and that this behavior can be inferred from their zeta potentials. We reveal that overall stabilization against fusion stems from a combination of repulsive forces between condensates and the effects that surface electrostatics have on lowering surface tension, thus shedding light on the molecular determinants of condensate coalescence.

The methods and devices which can be used to determine the wettability and zeta potential of filter medium were developed according to the principles of capillary rise and streaming potential respectively. Lipophilic Hydrophilic Ratio (LHR) was defined based on Washburn equation. LHR values and zeta potentials of some conmen filter media were measured respectively, and the oil removal efficiencies of these filter media were also tested. The result shows that the effect of wettability on oil removal efficiency is much greater than that of zeta potential in conmen condition. The oil removal efficiency mainly depends on LHR value of filter medium, not on zeta potential of filter medium.

ABSTRACTModel alumina slurries for chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) of copper have been studied using fundamental electrochemical concepts together with modification of surface tension and zeta-potential. A model slurry was established containing 3 wt% alumina (50 nm nominal size), 2 wt% potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and 1 vol % DOWFAX, as abrasive, oxidizer and anionic surfactant, respectively, which resulted in blanket copper removal rates of 130 nm/min with smooth, low-particulate defect density surfaces without aggressive post-CMP cleaning. When used with a model silica-abrasive slurry to remove the Ta liner, well-defined damascene-patterned structures were achieved with low-particulate defect densities.Open circuit potential measurement, potentiodynamic polarization, surface tension measurement, and zeta-potential measurement were used in developing the model slurries. The variations obtained with alternative abrasives, alternative oxidizers and alternative surfactants illustrate the principles of synthesizing slurries for Cu and Ta.

In order to acquire a suitable ink for ink-jet printing technology, a graphene oxide ink was explored based on the GO aqueous dispersion. The GO dispersion was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The average particle diameter and zeta potential of the GO dispersion was determined by zeta potential & particle size analyzer. The GO ink is composed of 1,2-propanediol, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, glycerol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and GO dispersion. The surface tension and viscosity of the GO ink was tested by surface tension meter and rheometer. The GO ink was inkjet printed on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The optimal inkjet printing parameters were obtained and the printing quality was characterized by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results show that the GO ink is suitable for inkjet printing technology and the morphology of the GO film with one printing pass has good uniformity.

Micaceous minerals, known as layer silicates, are counted mostly as the gangue minerals associated with valuable minerals, especially iron oxides. They mainly reject through the reverse flotation process using the cationic collectors, e.g., ether amines, to improve process sustainability. Although ether amines have been applied for floating the wide range of silicates, few investigations explored their adsorption behaviors on the micaceous minerals. In this study, flotation of phlogopite, biotite, and quartz (for comparison purposes) in the presence of Flotigam®EDA (EDA) (commercial ether monoamine collector), at pH 10 was investigated through the single mineral micro–flotation experiments. Adsorption behaviors were explored by the contact angle, residual surface tension measurements, and zeta potential analyses. Micro–flotation outcomes indicated that the quartz floatability was more than phlogopite and biotite. In the presence of 30 mg/dm3 EDA, their recoveries were 97.1, 46.3, and 63.8%, respectively. Increasing EDA concentration made a substantial increase in micaceous minerals’ floatability. Adsorption assessments confirmed that increasing the EDA concentration resulted in higher adsorption of EDA onto the surface of micaceous minerals than the quartz (all by physical adsorption). Such a behavior could be related to the nature of micaceous minerals, including their layer structure and low hardness.
