The precipitation conditions of Na2SnO3 solution and the reduction conditions of Ag(NH_3)_2^+ were also investigated. The powders prepared were characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy spectrum analysis. The results show that pH value of the solution is a key parameter in the formation of Sn(OH)_4 precipitate and the reduction reaction of Ag(NH_3)_2^+ can release H+ ions, which results in synchronous precipitation of Sn(OH)_6~2- as Sn(OH)_4. The reduction of Ag(NH_3)_2^+ and precipitation of Na_2SnO_3 occur simultaneously and the coprecipitation of silver and tin oxide is reached by the hydrothermal method. The silver-tin oxide composite powders have mainly flake shape of about 0.3 μm in thickness and there exists homogeneous distribution of tin oxide and silver in the powder synthesized.展开更多

According to rheological study, gelation lag time of chitosan/β-glycerophosphate (GP) solutions varied from 2 to 60min with different deacetylation degree of chitosan, pH, gelation temperature, and the particles in the sol. The gelation properties were also found to influence the release profilles of a hydrophilic drug, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Morphological examination by scanning electron microphotography demonstrated that large "pores" occurred during the gel-forming process, which created hydrophilic environment and led to the rapid initial release of the drug (85% in f'LrSt 8h). Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biodegradable material, was applied here as scaffold to capture 5-FU into microparticles with high encapsulation efficiency by solvent-nonsolvent method. Combination of these microparticles into the chitosan-β-GP formulation could drop the rapid initial release from 85% down to 29% in the optimized PHB content (75%, by mass). The release could sustain for about 10 months. Tiffs study provided an understanding of the potential of injectable implant using thermosensitive chitosan-β-GP formulation containing PHB based particles for the water soluble drugs that need the property of long-term delivery.展开更多

SEM images reveal that kaolinite particles show the self-aggregation of edge-face in acidic media,the aggregation of edge-face and edge-edge in neutral media,and the dispersion in alkaline media due to electrostatic repulsion. In the presence of the dodecylammonium acetate cationic surfactant and in neutral and alkaline suspension,the hydrophobic aggregation of face-face is demonstrated. The zeta potential of kaolinite increases with increasing the concentration of cationic surfactant. The small and loose aggregation at a low concentration but big and tight aggregation at a high concentration is presented. At pH=7 alkyl quarterly amine salt CTAB has the best hydrophobic aggregation among three cationic surfactants,namely,dodecylammonium acetate,alkyl quarterly amine salts 1227 and CTAB.展开更多

Such GO membranes were prepared via a facile vacuum-assisted method on anodic aluminium oxide disks and applied for the dehydration of butanol. To obtain GO membranes with high performance, effects of pre-treatments, including high-speed centrifugal treat- ment of GO dispersion and thermal treatment of GO membranes, were investigated. In addition, effects of operation conditions on the performance of GO membranes in the PV process and the stability of GO membranes were also studied. It is of benefit to improve the selectivity of GO membrane by pre-treatment that centrifuges the GO dispersion with 10000 r· min^- 1 for 40 min, which could purify the GO dispersion by removing the large size GO sheets. As prepared GO membrane showed high separation performance for the butanol/water system. The separation factor was 230, and the permeability was as high as 3.1 kg·m^- 2·h^-1 when the PV temperature was 50 ℃ and the water content in feed was 10% (by mass). Meanwhile, the membrane still showed good stability for the dehydration of butanol after running for 1800 min in the PV process. GO membranes are suitable candidates for butanol dehydration via PV process.展开更多

A novel super absorbent composite, poly (acrylic acid-co-acryla- mide)/potassium humate (PAA-AM/KHA), was prepared by graft polymerization of acrylic acid, acrylamide and coal based potassium humate using N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinker and potassium peroxydisulfate as an initiator. The effects of reaction temperature, degree of neutralization of the poly (acrylic acid) and the amounts of crosslinker, initiator and potassium humate were investigated. Salt resistance tests were also carded out. The composite prepared under optimal conditions had a potassium bumate content of 10% and exhibited a water absorption of 770 g/g in distilled water, and 349, 286 and 41 gig in 0.5 mol/L KC1, MgC12 and A1CI3 solutions respectively. The results indicate that the salt resistance of PAA-AM/KHA was superior to that of poly (acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) because of the collaborative effect of functional groups of the coal based potassium humate. The PAA-AM/KHA micro powder was characterized by IR spectroscopy and the micrographic surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Introduction of potassium humate into the poly (acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) structure creates a composite more suitable for use as a water-managing material in the renewal of arid and desert environments. The salt resisting property of the composite is improved, production costs are reduced and the growth stimulant effect is still present.展开更多

The MnO2 is successfully synthesized from the metal cations extracted from EMR, which can effectively recycle the manganese in the EMR. By the combination of XRD, SEM and EDX analysis, the as-prepared MnO2 is found to exhibit a single-phase with the purity of 90.3%. Furthermore, EMR-CSH is synthesized from EMR via hydrothermal method. Based on the detailed analyses using XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX and BET surface area measurement, the product synthesized under the optimum conditions(p H 12.0 and 100 °C) is identified to be a calcium silicate hydrate with a specific surface area of 205 m2/g incorporating the slag-derived metals(Al and Mg) in its structure. The as-synthesized material shows good adsorption properties for removal of Mn2+ and phosphate ions diluted in water, making it a promising candidate for efficient bulk wastewater treatment. This conversion process, which enables us to fabricate two different kinds of valuable materials from EMR at low cost and through convenient preparation steps, is surely beneficial from the viewpoint of the chemical and economical use of EMR.展开更多

The concentration of sulfuric acid solution ranged from 0 to 80wt%. The solubilities of 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid monohydrate and sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate increased with temperature, and both of them were the lowest at 70wt% of sulfuric acid solution ( w3 0 = 0.70) while the highest in pure water. The solubility data were correlated by the modified Apelblat equation. Based on the solubility difference between 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid monohydrate and sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate, a new technique in which sodium sulfate was used to replace sodium sulfite in the neutralization reaction was developed. The suitable mole ratio of H20 to Na2SO4 in the neutralization reaction was 80 : 1, and that of 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid monohydrate to Na2SO4 was 3.2 : 1. The material balance under the suitable mole ratios was given and discussed.展开更多

This was carried out in order to exploit the nutritional and aesthetic value of cocoyam (Colocasia escullenta Vat.) to improve the overall quality of the Pringles as against its production from potato and wheat composite flour. Composite flour (100%:0%, 90%:10%, 80%:20%, 70%:30%, 60%:40% and 50%:50%) of cocoyam and wheat respectively as the major raw materials were adopted and used for the production of the Pringles. Physicochemical analysis (pH, water absorption capacity (WAC), bulk density (BD) and swelling capacity (SC)); proximate analysis (protein, fats, ash, moisture and carbohydrate content) and sensory evaluation (colour, texture, taste and overall acceptability) were carried out on the samples produced using standard methods. Physicochemical analysis showed the pH of 5.48 to 6.61, WAC (12.00 to 17.50), BD (1.43 to 1.56) and SW (1.03 to 1.38). However, sample with 10% cocoyam and 90% wheat composite flour gave the best physicochemical properties of pH (5.98), WAC (14.00), BD (1.56) and SC (1.38). The proximate analysis showed that carbohydrate content ranging between 53.36 to 61.12, and protein content (8.17 to 12.29), fat content (16.67 to 23.97), ash content (3.49 to 45.53), fiber content (1.71 to 2.83) and moisture content (8.76 to 14.54). Sample B equally gave the nutrient proximate combination of appreciable percentage on the average. The result of the sensory evaluation showed that there is no significant difference between the samples produced in terms of aroma. There is a significant different between samples A, B and the remaining samples in terms of colour and taste. On the overall acceptability, samples A, C and D showed no significant difference but the highest mean score was found with sample B. Conclusively, acceptable snack (Pringles) can be produced from cocoyam and wheat in ratio 90%: 10%, respectively.展开更多
