Flotation of low-grade bauxite using organosilicon cationic collector and starch depressant

The flotation of diaspore and three kinds of silicate minerals, including kaolinite, illite and pyrophyllite, using an organosilicon cationic surfactant (TAS101) as collector and starch as depressant was investigated. The results show that both diaspore and aluminosilicate minerals float readily with organosilicon cationic collector TAS101 at pH values of 4 to 10. Starch has a strong depression effect for diaspore in the alkaline pH region but has little influence on the flotation of aluminosilicate minerals. It is possible to separate diaspore from aluminosilicate minerals using the organosilicon cationic collector and starch depressant. Further studies of bauxite ore flotation were also conducted, and the reverse flotation separation process was adopted. The concentrates with the mass ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 of 9.58 and Al2O3 recovery of 83.34% are obtained from natural bauxite ore with the mass ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 of 6.1 at pH value of 11 using the organosilicon cationic collector and starch depressant.

Influence of Inorganic Salts on the Adsorption of Cationically Modified Starch to Fibers

The article is focused on the influence of inorganic salts on the adsorption of cationically modified starch to fibers. Results show that low concentrations of inorganic salts usually affect the process of adsorption in a positive way. Adsorption efficiency at higher concentrations, however, depends on the type of inorganic salts as well as the sequence of adding inorganic salts and starch to paper suspension.

Synthesis, Characterization and Utilization of Starch Hydroxypropyl Sulphate for Cationic Dye Removal

The best conditions for synthesis of starch hydroxypropyl sulphate as per the dry method were firstly established. This was done through a thorough investigation into factors affecting the synthesis including concentrations of both the NaOH catalyst and the 2-hydroxy-3-chloropropyl sulphate along with duration and temperature of the reaction. The resultant newly synthesized 2-hydroxy-3-chloropropyl sulphate was then reacted with starch to obtain starch hydroxypropyl sulphate ultimately. After being characterized by making use of IR spectroscopy analysis and scanning electronic microscope, the starch hydroxypropyl sulphate samples were submitted to evaluation for cationic dye removal using Methylene Blue (MB). Cationic dye removal was studied under a variety of conditions. Factors involved encompass initial dye concentration, duration, sulphur %, pH and adsorbent dose. 100% dye removal could be achieved under certain conditions which were described in the text.

A NEW METHOD TO SYNTHESIZE THE CATIONIC GRAFT STARCH

The cationic graft copolymer was synthesized by reversed phase emulsion copolymerization of starch with diallydimethyl ammoniumlchlorid (DADMAC) and acrylamide(AM). The copolymerization was carried out using (NH4)2S2O8-NH2CONH2 redox as initiator and selecting Span-20 as emulsifier. The effects of emulsifier content in oil phase, volume ratio of oil to water, initiator concentration and mole ratio of DADMAC to AM on the graft copolymerization were discussed. The optimum condition of synthetics was found with the orthogonal test method.

This paper deals with the retention and drainage properties of the high substituted degree cationic starch (HCS) prepared by half-dry process. The experiments show that HCS has remarkable effects on filler retention and drainage in papermaking industry. With the degree of substitution (DS) of HCS increasing, the effects on filler retention and drainage increase. When the DS of HCS is 0.509 and the dosage is 0.08%, the freeness decreases about 12oSR and the filler retention is 79.82%.

The cationic starch with high degree of substitution is used as anionic charge neutralizing agents to improve filler retention in wet-end section of papermaking machine.

Reinforcing Paper Strength by Dual Treatment of a Cationic Water-soluble Polymer and Cellulose Nanofibril

Cellulose nanofibril(CNF)was used as the anionic component of two dual strengthening systems wherein polyamidopolyamine epichlorohydrin resin(PAE)or cationic starch(CS)was used as the cationic component.Their strengthening effects were investigated for lowbasis-weight(30 g/m2)paper composed of a mixture of fully bleached softwood and hardwood pulp in a 4:1 mass ratio.Using the PAE/CNF or CS/CNF dual system,it was generally easier to achieve higher wet and dry tensile strengths of paper compared to the paper using the single PAE or CS system.For example,the paper using the PAE(0.4%)/CNF(0.3%)dual system exhibited 89%higher wet tensile strength than the paper using the single PAE(0.4%)system,and the paper using CS(1.3%)/CNF(0.3%)dual treatment showed 21%higher dry strength than that using the single CS(1.3%)system.However,the PAE/CNF system only showed small improvement in the dry strength of paper(11%higher than that of paper using the single PAE system),so did the CS/NFC system on wet strength improvement(only 17%higher than that of paper using the single CS system).

Heterogeneous Reactions between Starch and AKD under Solvent-free Conditions

Oxidized starch powder and cationic starch solution were reacted with alkyl ketene dimer(AKD) under heterogeneous conditions at 70℃ for 12 h.The AKD molecules reacted with starch hydroxyl groups to form β-keto ester linkages under the above conditions.The reaction products were separated into CHCl_3-soluble and CHCl_3-insoluble fractions.FT-IR spectroscopy,SEM,Xray diffraction,and TG-DTA analyses of the CHCl_3-insoluble fraction indicated that β-keto ester substituents were introduced to hydroxyl groups on the starch surfaces.The results indicated that hydrogen bonds between the starch molecules were disrupted under heterogeneous conditions upon heating.The activity and accessibility of hydroxyl groups were enhanced,as a result of which β-keto ester bonds were produced between AKD and starch.Based on these results,we speculate that the β-keto esters which existed in the sheets sized by AKD emulsions were generated by the reaction between AKD and starch.

体外透皮递送SPE的CMC/CS/Ca^(2+)复合水凝胶及其抗氧化活性研究

像大豆肽(SPE)这样的肽类物质在药物靶向治疗和诊断等方面有着重要作用,但它们难以抵抗胃部极低的pH环境以及离子障碍,因此难以通过口服的方式进行递送。透皮递送系统可避免胃液的障碍,将药物递送到血液中。文中通过冻融循环成功制备了负载SPE的羧甲基纤维素/阳离子淀粉/Ca^(2+)(CMC/CS/Ca^(2+))复合水凝胶,以克服透皮递送过程中皮肤角质层对水溶性SPE渗透的障碍。颗粒电荷分析(PCD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)以及流变结果表明,CMC、CS及Ca^(2+)之间产生了化学和物理交联作用,形成了稳定的复合水凝胶,且SPE与CS、Ca^(2+)间产生的相互作用使其力学性能可满足透皮递送的要求;扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和比表面积测试(BET)结果表明,这些复合水凝胶内部具有多孔洞的三维网络结构。复合水凝胶的含水率均高于95.63%,在25℃下持续25 min后其保湿率仍在97.34%以上,所有复合水凝胶均在120 min内快速溶胀,在720 min时平衡溶胀分数可达636.23%,说明该复合水凝胶对水具有高度的亲和性,这是SPE透皮递送效率提高的根本原因。体外释放结果表明,SPE从复合水凝胶中的释放为溶胀控释型,且其最大DPPH自由基和ABTS自由基清除率分别可达47.07%和72.16%。3种复合水凝胶中SPE的单位面积累积渗透量分别为0.55、0.70和0.60 mg/cm^(2),其累积渗透百分比分别达到84.13%、92.93%和92.57%。复合水凝胶的外观以及pH值、耐热性、耐寒性均符合QB/T 2872—2017的规定。文中制备的复合水凝胶不仅有望在透皮递送肽及蛋白质类药物上得以应用,在皮肤抗氧化护理方面也具有潜在的应用价值。

阳离子淀粉的制备及其在污泥调理中的应用

污泥调理是实现污泥高效脱水的重要工序,传统污泥调理剂存在投加剂量高、环境污染大等问题。基于此,本研究选择价廉易得的玉米淀粉为原料,以2,3-环氧丙基三甲基氯化铵为醚化剂,制得阳离子淀粉,而后将其应用于剩余污泥的脱水调理中。结果表明,当阳离子淀粉剂量为80 mg/g时,污泥毛细吸水时间(CST)和过滤比阻(SRF)均降到最低值,分别为23.5 s和1.50×10^(12) m/kg,此时CST下降85.9%,SRF下降92%。调理后污泥zeta电位值随阳离子淀粉剂量的增加而升高,表明阳离子淀粉与污泥颗粒之间发生了电荷中和作用,电荷的改变使污泥颗粒脱稳,从而形成较大的絮体。对污泥胞外多聚物(EPS)进行分析发现,EPS中的蛋白质组分可与阳离子淀粉发生反应,从而影响污泥脱水性能。综上,阳离子淀粉制备方法安全简便,具有良好的污泥调理效果,在污泥脱水中有着广阔的应用前景。

Efficient removal of algae and turbidity from water by a composite coagulant composed of a cationic starch and attapulgite

Algae and suspended colloidal particles produced high turbidity in water,weakened water purification,and threatened the safety of the water supply.In this study,a series of composite coagulants(atp-st-CTA)composed of a cationic starch(st-CTA)and attapulgite(ATP)with different fed mass ratios were fabricated by a simple method to coagulate kaolin suspension with initial turbidity of 80.0 NTU and Chlorella suspension with 0.25 mg/L of chlorophyll a(chla),respectively.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy investigated the structural characteristics of atp-st-CTA.The maximum turbidity and chla removal rates of atp-st-CTA were 92.2%and 100.0%,respectively,at natural pH conditions.The effects of the fed mass ratio of st-CTA to ATP in the composites,dose,pH,and coexisting humic acid on the coagulation performance of atp-st-CTA were comprehensively investigated.Based on the apparent coagulation behaviors,the zeta potentials of the supernatants after coagulation,and the flocs properties,the coagulation mechanisms of atp-st-CTA were discussed in detail.The complete charge neutralization due to st-CTA and the enhanced sedimentation by ATP synergistically removed turbidity and algae from the water efficiently.In short,atp-st-CTA as a talented material has a notable prospect in applications of water treatment owing to its advantages of environmental friendliness,low cost,and high efficiency.

Thixotropy of Aqueous Suspensions Containing Mg-AI Hydrotalcite-like Compound and Low-substituted Cationic Starch： Comparison between Oscillatory Shear and Thixotropic Loop Measurements

The rheological properties of aqueous suspensions consisting of positively charged aluminum magnesium hydrotalcite-like compound （HTlc） and low-substituted cationic starch （LCS） were investigated. Special emphasis was placed on the thixotropic phenomenon. Thixotropic behavior was investigated by two thixotropic methods： thixotropic loop and oscillatory shear measurements. LCS molecules could be adsorbed onto HTlc particles due to the hydrogen bonding between ether groups or hydroxyl groups of LCS and hydroxyl groups of HTlc. The elastic dynamic response of the HTlc/LCS suspension increased with increasing mass ratio （R） of HTlc and a three-dimensional network structure could be formed in the suspension with higher R value. The thixotropic type of the HTlc/LCS suspension transformed from negative to positive and then to complex thixotropy when R changed from 0 to 0.5. By comparing between the thixotropic results obtained by thixotropic loop and oscillatory shear measurements, it was validated that the thixotropic loop for the suspension showing complex thixotropy had a crossover point.

Effect of algal flocculation on dissolved organic matters using cationic starch modified soils

Modified soils（MSs） are being increasingly used as geo-engineering materials for the sedimentation removal of cyanobacterial blooms. Cationic starch（CS） has been tested as an effective soil modifier, but little is known about its potential impacts on the treated water.This study investigated dissolved organic matters in the bloom water after algal removal using cationic starch modified soils（CS-MSs）. Results showed that the dissolved organic carbon（DOC） could be decreased by CS-MS flocculation and the use of higher charge density CS yielded a greater DOC reduction. When CS with the charge density of 0.052, 0.102 and0.293 meq/g were used, DOC was decreased from 3.4 to 3.0, 2.3 and 1.7 mg/L, respectively.The excitation–emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy and UV254 analysis indicated that CS-MS exhibits an ability to remove some soluble organics, which contributed to the DOC reduction. However, the use of low charge density CS posed a potential risk of DOC increase due to the high CS loading for effective algal removal. When CS with the charge density of 0.044 meq/g was used, DOC was increased from 3.4 to 3.9 mg/L. This study suggested, when CS-MS is used for cyanobacterial bloom removal, the content of dissolved organic matters in the treated water can be controlled by optimizing the charge density of CS. For the settled organic matters, other measures（e.g., capping treatments using oxygen loaded materials） should be jointly applied after algal flocculation.
