Two domestic silicon carbide powders with different particle size distribution and one petroleum coke powder were blended in proportion and then dispersed in aqueous medium. Green bodies were solidified from these suspensions via conventional slip casting. The effects of pH, solid loading, and the amount of dispersant on the formability and packing ability were evaluated. The results showed that the pH within 9.5-10.5, solid loading of 42vol%, aging time more than 24h, and 0.3wt% of dispersant were optimal. Complicated green bodies with height of 300mm and thickness of 3.5mm were obtained. The corresponding suspension viscosity was 1200mPa∙s and the relative packing density was 64.8%. The density is 3.01g∙cm-3 and the flexural strength is 305±15 MPa after reaction sintering. These results may be attributed to accurately using of dispersant and in-depth study of processing parameter.

Abstract Solid transfer technology from mixtures is gaining ever-increasing attention from materials scientists and production engineers due to their high potential in near net-shaped production of cost-effective engineering components. Dip coating, a wet deposition method, is an effective and straightforward way of thin-film/layers formation. The dipping mixtures are often embedded with inorganic fillers, nanoparticles, or clusters (d<30 nm) that produce a thin film ranging from nm to couple microns. An increase in the volume of solid transfer by the dipping process can open-up a novel 3D near-net-shape production. However, adding larger inorganic particle size (>1µm) or adding a higher solid fraction will increase the solid transfer but may result in a multi-phase heterogeneous mixture. In this work, the physical mechanism of an increased volume of solid transfer with a larger spherical particle size (>5 µm) is investigated. Polymer-based glue and evaporating solvent are mixed to construct the liquid carrier system (LCS). Moderate volume fraction of inorganic particles (20% < ?p < 50%) are added into the LCS solution as solid loading. Three levels of binder volume fraction are considered to investigate the effect of the solid transfer. Cylindrical AISI 304 steel wire with dia 0.81 mm is dipped and the coating thickness, weight, and the surface packing coverage by the particles are measured in our lab. The results presented the influence of volume fraction of inorganic particle and glue composition on the solid transfer from the heterogeneous mixture.

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.

Abstract This study has been carried out to evaluate the applicability of the pilot scale hybrid type of stormwater runoff treatment system for treatment of combined sewer overflow. Also, to determine the optimum operation parameter such as coagulation dosage concentration, effectiveness of coagulant usage, surface loading rate and backwashing conditions. The pilot scale stormwater filtration system (SFS) was installed at the municipal wastewater plant serving the city of Cheongju (CWTP), Korea. CWTP has a capacity of 280,000 m3/day. The SFS consists of a hydrocyclone coagulation/flocculation with polyaluminium chloride silicate (PACS) and an upflow filter to treat combined sewer overflows. There are two modes (without PACS use and with PACS use) of operation for the SFS. In case of no coagulant use, the range of suspended solids (SS) and turbidity removal efficiency were 72.0–86.6% (mean 80.0%) and 30.9–71.1% (mean 49.3%), respectively. And, the recovery rate of filter was 79.2–83.6% (mean 81.2%); the rate of remaining solid loading in filter media was 16.4–20.8% (mean 18.8%) after backwashing. The influent turbidity, SS concentrations were 59.0–90.7 NTU (mean 72.0 NTU), 194.0–320.0mg/L (mean 246.7mg/L), respectively. The range of PACS dosage concentration was 6.0–7.1mg/L (mean 6.7mg/L). The range of SS and turbidity removal efficiency was 84.9–98.2 (mean 91.4%) and 70.7–96.3 (mean 84.0%), respectively. It was found that removal efficiency was enhanced with PACS dosage. The recovery rate of filter was 92.0–92.5% (mean 92.3%) the rate of remaining solid loading in filter media was 6.1–8.2% (mean 7.2%) after backwashing. In the case of coagulant use, the particle size of the effluent is bigger than influent particle size. The results showed that SFS with PACS use more effective than without PACS use in SS and turbidity removal efficiency and recovery rate of filter.

This study investigated the development and application of banana peel for the remediation of heavy metals (Pb, Zn and Cr). Batch experimental processes as well as conditions that might influence the sorption of the metals were investigated. These conditions include effects of pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and particle size. The applicability of the sorption process was tested on wastewater. The adsorbent activated with 0.5 M H2SO4 showed the highest percentage removal of chromium ion (88.9 %) at a pH of 6. It has been found that particle size has no effect on the removal of zinc ion and it has also been found that the removal efficiency of lead and chromium ion decreased with increase in contact time and particle size. Also, it can be seen from the results that untreated banana peel waste increases the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) values of wastewater. The results from the optimized method revealed the applicability of the method to environmental water samples. This study therefore confirms that banana peel is a promising adsorbent for the removal of chromium from industrial effluent.

Dental implants are typically composed of 3Y-TZP (3 mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals). Most dental zirconia implants are currently fabricated via mechanical machining. However, during the machining of zirconia green bodies, many cracks form on the surface. To prevent surface crack formation on the implants, shape forming of the zirconia is necessary using methods such as slip casting. Herein, we fabricated green compacts using slip casting, candidate forming process to reduce surface cracking. To fabricate an optimal 3Y-TZP implant by slip casting and sintering, we prepared a suitable 3Y-TZP slurry for slip casting by adjusting the viscosity via pH, dispersant agent content, and solid loading refinement. Green compacts were prepared by the slip casting of all-ceramic zirconia implants fabricated using optimal slurry conditions, for example, 60 wt% solid content, 1 wt% dispersant, pH 12 and post-sintering at 1450 °C for 2 h. All sintered bodies contained a tetragonal phase with a high sintered density of approximately 6.07 g/cm3, good mechanical hardness of approximately 1367 Hv, grain size of 220 nm, and high surface roughness without cracks.
