Estimation of Particle Capture Zone Characteristics in Magnetic Filtration Processes

The real properties of the geometry of the capture region of the particles in the pores of the magnetic filters which are formed by magnetized ferromagnetic microparticles are investigated. The flow velocity profile of the liquid in this region is determined and the effect of the velocity profile to keep the particles in the pores is examined. The magnetic and the hydrodynamic powers have been expressed explicitly by considering, the pore geometry, magnetized property and the flow velocity. Obtained expression was explained on the V _m /V _f ratio, which is named as magnetic and flow velocities rate in filtering and separation processes. According to this expression, the volume and surface ratios of the particles which are accumulated in the particles capture region are taken into account. From theory and practice point of view, the derived expressions and results are put into a form to make easy to use for design, control and optimization of the filters.     

A Magnetic Sorbent for Radiocesium and Radiostrontium Removal from Clay and Soil Suspensions

A magnetic sorbent based on a mixture of magnetic iron and nickel oxides, and specific surface activation by ferrocyanide solution for enhancement of cesium adsorption is described. After equilibration of clay or soil suspension with the magnetic sorbent, the latter can be removed with exchangeable radiocesium and radiostrontium by means of magnetic separation. The distribution coefficients of the order 2·10³ l/kg for cesium and 5·10³ l/kg for strontium were determined. The efficiency of the sorbent was investigated in a 1% montmorillonite or soil suspension. At a soil:sorbent ratio 1:1–1:6 in the suspension, the fraction of exchangeable radiocesium in soil at a 2 hours contact was diminished from 56–59% to 48–12%, the decontamination factor of both the mobile cesium and strontium is about 3. The multistage process and sorbent recycling need further investigation.

Characterization of Magnetic Nanoiron Oxides for the Removal of Metal Ions from Aqueous Solution

ABSTRACT

Two nanostructured hybrid materials are reported that include uncoated magnetic nanoiron oxides and magnetic nanoiron oxides treated with rose leaf extract. Atomic and molecular absorption spectrometry were used to evaluate the sensitivity of these materials for the isolation of Cr(VI), Zn(II), Pb(II), and Ca(II) from aqueous solution. The structure and physicochemical properties of the resulting nanohybrids were characterized by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The results show that following 15?min of contact in acidic solution, the uncoated magnetic nanoiron oxides removed approximately 90% of Cr(VI), while the magnetic nanoiron oxides coated with rose leaf extract removed 92% of the analyte. These correspond to most industrial wastewater conditions. For the removal of Ca(II) and Zn(II), it was necessary to adjust the pH to neutral to maximize the efficiency. Pb(II) showed maximum removal efficiency when the solution is basic. The simple rose extract suspension was also used for metal removal with high capacity. The results demonstrate that the magnetic nanoiron oxides were uniformly distributed in the rose leaf extract. The extract served as a capping agent due to the presence of polyphenolics.     

Preparation of Composite Filters Based on Porous Coordination Polymers by Using a Vacuum Filtration Method for Highly Efficient Removal of Particulate Matters

In this study, two novel crystal materials pcp1 and pcp1‐L have been synthesized successfully. The different conformations of the two crystals are mainly attributed to the introduction of the Schiff‐base ligand L ( L =(E)‐4‐methyl‐N‐((6‐methoxypyridin‐2‐yl)methylene)aniline). Subsequently, pcp1 and pcp1‐L composites have been firstly produced by a vacuum filtration method on various substrates (i.e., melamine foam, plastic mesh, carbon fiber cloth and glass cloth). The obtained robust composites show excellent performance in removing PMs owing to high ζ potential, microporous structure, large conjugation system and electron cloud‐exposed metal center (DFT calculations) of pcp1 and pcp1‐L . Particularly, pcp1‐L @glass cloth with low pressure drop exhibits high thermal stability and high long‐term reproducibility. Additionally, the high removal efficiency of pcp1‐L @glass cloth towards particulate matters could also be maintained, even achieving >99.9 % in the car exhaust gas field test.

Hexagonal Ferrites from Melts and Aqueous Solutions,Magnetic Recording Materials

Owing to their particular crystallographic properties, ferrimagnetic hexagonal ferrites exhibit a far greater coercive force than the conventional magnetic pigments. They therefore appear to be suitable for use in magnetic information storage procedures, some of which are novel and are at the development stage. Thus, magnetic tapes of high coercive force containing barium ferrite could be used as master tapes for copying magnetic information or for producing forgery-proof magnetic cards, if magnetic heads having high-order write fields were successfully developed. Moreover, platelet-like ferrite pigments in which the preferred direction of magnetic orientation is perpendicular to the plane of the platelet are of great interest for perpendicular magnetic recording. In this progress report, the crystal structures, magnetic characteristics of hexagonal ferrites, and chemical processes for their production are discussed. In particular, reactions in salt melts or under hydrothermal conditions produce finely divided pigments whose particles have a pronounced hexagonal, plate-like habit, a narrow particle size distribution, and advantageous magnetic properties. The magnetic properties of the pigments crystallized from salt melts may be adjusted by cation exchange.

Removal of Thiram from Aqueous Solutions

In this study activated carbon was used for the removal of thiram from aqueous solutions. Adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of time, initial thiram concentration and temperature. Equilibrium data fitted well to the Freundlich and Langmuir equilibrium models in the studied concentration range. Adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo second‐order kinetic model rather than pseudo first‐order model. The results from kinetic experiments were used to describe the adsorption mechanism. Both boundary layer and intraparticle diffusion played important role in the adsorption mechanism of thiram. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔG₀, ΔH₀, and ΔS₀) were determined and the adsorption process was found to be an endothermic one. The negative values of ΔG⁰ at different temperatures were indicative of the spontaneity of the adsorption process.     

Fabrication and Manipulation of Magnetic Composite Particles with Specific Shape and Size

The fabrication of microscale polyethylene glycol diacrylate(PEGDA) hydrogel particles was demonstrated via magnetic property ultraviolet(UV) lithography techniques, polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) soft stamp pre-paration techniques and micro-nano imprint technology in this paper. The results of compositional and morphological characterizations of magnetic microparticles show that the Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with an average diameter of 100 nm are uniformly dispersed in hydrogel. Owing to the excellent magnetism of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, the fabricated hydrogel microparticles with different sizes and shapes were manipulated in water via applying an external magnetic fields. Three types of motions, translation, rotation and flip, were demonstrated with the manipulator. These microscale magnetic PEGDA hydrogel particles have a great application potential in manufacturing process, micro/nanomotors, and machines.     

Kinetic and Thermodynamic Studies for the Removal of Nickel Ions from an Aqueous Solution by Adsorption Technique

The kinetics and dynamics of nickel ions adsorption on activated carbon and bentonite were studied. The influence of parameters (pH, amount of adsorbent, adsorbate concentration, solution volume, rotation speed, and temperature) were investigated. Kinetic models of pseudo-first, pseudo-second and Weber-Morris models were applied. The data was better reported by the pseudo-second order model. Freundlich, Langmuir, and D-R models were utilized for the analysis of adsorption equilibrium. Evaluation of thermodynamic parameters reveal that adsorption is spontaneous and endothermic in nature. From the experimental data, it was concluded that bentonite has more efficiency for the adsorption of nickel ions than activated carbon.     

Effect of Ultrasonic Pretreatment on Flocculation Filtration of Low-Rank Coal Slurry

The efficient filtration of low-rank coal (LRC) slurry was significantly beneficial to the production process of wet coal beneficiation. However, relatively few studies have been reported on novel pretreatment methods for the efficient filtration of LRC slurry. In this paper, the mechanism of ultrasonic pretreatment to promote flocculation and filtration of slurry was studied. The hydrophobic variation of the slurry surface was measured by contact angle and XPS. The flocculation properties of slurry were characterized using zeta potential and FBRM. The effects of filter cake porosity and ultrasonic pretreatment on slurry filtration resistance were calculated by L-F NMR and Darcy’s theory. The results showed that the ultrasonic pretreatment promoted the flocculation and filtration performance of LRC slurry, increased the filtration rate, and decreased the cake moisture content. Meanwhile, the contact angle of LRC increased significantly from 50.1° to 67.8° after ultrasonic pretreatment, and the surface tension of the filtrate decreased from 69.5 to 53.31 mN/m. Ultrasonic pretreatment reduced the absolute value of the zeta potential of coal slurry from 24.8 to 21.0 mV, and the average chord length of flocs increased from 5–10 μm to 25–30 μm, thus weakening the electrostatic repulsion between coals to promote floc formation. In addition, the pore tests and filtration theory calculations showed that the ultrasonic pretreatment significantly improved the permeability of the filter cake to water and reduced the resistance to slurry during filtration. In particular, the mesopore porosity increased by 9.18%, and the permeability increased by 2.937 × 10⁸ m². Therefore, this contributed to the reduction of slurry filtration resistance. This research provides an efficient method for promoting the efficient filtration of slurry.

Removal of Particles from Substrates by Electro-Osmotic Flow

The detergent process or detergency is defined as the removal of soil, or matter out of place, from a substrate immersed in a medium through the application of a mechanical force in the presence of a detergent which lowers the adhesion of the soil to the substrate¹⁾. Regarding the mechanical force in the detergent process for porous solids such as fabrics, detergency is considered to be governed by flow behavior of the washing medium inside the porous solids. For example, the fabric can be considered as a system of capillaries; the space between fibers is a capillary and the fiber surface is the capillary wall. In the washing process, soil particles adhering to the fiber surface can be detached by the tangential flow of washing liquid in the capillaries.
