Under the synergistic actions of mechanical force,chemistry and heat, macromolecular free radicals of PS are created, at the same time, the O-O bondsof titanium dioxide are broken and the oxide free radicals produced, and the numbers of oxygen atomare increased and crystal lattice defects rich electrons are formed on the surface of titaniumdioxide. The radical polymerization is the main reaction between PS and titanium dioxide and C-Obonds form in the process of modification. Multi-sites chemical adsorption also exists besidesgrafting between PS and titanium dioxide.展开更多

It was revealed that the increase in pH of brucitesuspension, as a result of the release of magnesium hydroxide into the suspension, leads to a sharprise of the adsorption amount of Pb^(2+) on brucite. The synergism of buffering and adsorptioncapacities of brucite is responsible for the removal of Pb^(2+) from the aqueous solution. Thecoexistence of Cu^(2+) with Pb^(2+) causes a decrease of their adsorption on brucite due to acompetition for surface sites and brucite exhibits a higher adsorption capacity for Pb^(2+) than forCu^(2+). The percentage adsorption of Pb^(2+) on brucite could reach 96.38 percent, 97.20 percentand 94.09 percent respectively with the initial pH of the suspension pH_i = 1.76 (initial Pb^(2+)concentration [Pb^(2+)]_i = 20 mumol/L), 1.82 ([Pb^(2+)]_i = 100 mumol/L) and 1.84 ([Pb^(2+)]_i =500 mumol/L). It was concluded that brucite is a very efficient mineral adsorbent for Pb^(2+)removal from polluted acidic water.展开更多

In this paper, a novel method, the high gravity reactive precipitation (HGRP) technology, of manufacturing CaCO3 nanoparticles, presently scaled-up to an annual capacity of 10,000 tons, is presented. This paper describes the process principle, the process design and experiments on the syntheses of 15-30 nm CaCO3, 30-50 nm SiO2, 20-30 nm TiO2, 20-60 nm ZnO, 20-30 nm ZnS, 30 nm SrCO3, 40-70 nm BaTiO3, stick-like nano BaCO3 as well as nano-fibrillar aluminum hydroxide measuring 1-10 nm in diameter and 50-300 nm in length, using liquid-liquid, gas-liquid and gas-liquid-solid reactant systems. The advantage of using the HGRP technology is illustrated by comparison to conventional methods.展开更多

After a theoretical analysis on such processes based on chemical reaction engineering fundamentals, an idea to intensify micromixing (mixing on the molecular scale) and mass transfer and therefore to control the process ideally was proposed. By experimental investigations of mass transfer and micromixing characteristics in the Rotating Packed Bed (RPB, or 'HIGEE' device), we achieved unique intense micromixing. This led us to the invention of using RPB as a reactor for the fabrication of nanoparticles (Chen et al., 2000).展开更多
