Influence of an emulsifier on the pressure desensitization of emulsion explosives

The desensitization degree of emulsion explosives （EE） was calculated with the peak pressure of explosion shock waves tested in water. To an explosive, the less the desensitization degree, the better the compression resistance, so the compression resistance of an explosive can be compared and analyzed quantificationally with the desensitization degree. The influence of an emulsifier on the pressure desensitization of EE was studied, including the content and category of emulsifiers. Three kinds of emulsifiers （Span-80, compound emulsifier, and T-152） were used in the tests. The experimental results show that both the content and category of emulsifiers make a great effect on the pressure desensitization of EE. The desensitization degree of EE reduces with the emulsifier content being increased, but there is an optimal content of an emulsifier for the compression resistance of EE. While the content of Span-80 reaches 4wt%, the desensitization degree of EE becomes a minimal value, and augments somewhat if the emulsifier content is increased more. That is to say, the compression resistance of EE becomes the highest while the content of Span-80 is 4wt%, and the compression resistance will decline if the content of Span-80 is increased more. The compression resistance of the explosive emulsified by compound emulsifier is the highest among all the explosives, when the content of the whole components and manufacturing engineering are kept invariable.

NOVEL SYNTHETIC METHOD OF LINGNINAMINETYPE ASPHALT EMULSIFIER

The slurry scaling with cationic emulsified asphalt, which is a new technique in highway construction, is rapidly extended at home and abroad. The technique should apply an excellent slow set cationic cmulsincr. Now, slow set emulsificrs are ligninamines which are synthesized by trimethylamine-epichlorohydrin route. Owing to high price and unstable quality, the extending of slurry sealing technique is affected seriously. We prepare the ligninaminc by a novel synthetic method. By the novel method, the cost of production is reduced by more than 30%, and the products have stable quality, high emulsifying function and broad adaptability for various asphalts. The novel synthetic method uses soda lignin, secondary amines and inexpensive aminating assistants as raw materials. The technological process of the method may use either one or two-step process, and the technological condition arc uncomplicated and easy to master.

Rheology of typical emulsifiers and effects on stability of emulsion explosives

Structure of emulsifiers or functionality and molecular weight determines its rheology, emulsification and stability of emulsion explosives. Rheology of typical emulsifiers was studied by automatic rheometer. Relations between rheology and structural properties of typical emulsifiers were analyzed. Experimental results show that viscosity of emulsifiers didn＇ t change with shear rate at room temperature and appeared properties of Newtonian fluid. Viscosity of different component emulsifiers declines with temperature in different modes. The change of strain doesn＇ t affect modu- lus of emulsifiers. Loss modulus increases linearly with the increase of frequency in oscillation and storage modulus does non-linearly. The higher the temperature is, the lower change amplitude of loss modulus with frequency will be. The emulsifiers with imide and amide functionality for emulsion explosives have better shear properties at high temperature and better shapingness and stability at room temperature than other emulsifiers with ester and Sorbin Monoleate （SMO） functionality.

Improvement of whole wheat dough and bread properties by emulsifiers

Whole wheat bread is widely available worldwide,but it is always associated with less desirable dough processibility,small loaf volume,firm and gritty texture,and other distinctive attributes compared to white bread.Emulsifiers are commonly used to improve dough handling and baking quality during bread production.In present study,five emulsifiers(diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono-and diglycerides(DATEM),polysorbate 80,sodium stearoyl lactylate(SSL),soy lecithin,and sucrose esters)were added during dough preparation of the whole wheat flour at 0.2%,0.5%,and 1.0%(flour weight basis).Dough rheological behavior and bread quality attributes,such as specific loaf volume and hardness,were measured.The results showed that DATEM,sucrose esters,and SSL increased the resistance to extension of the dough,whereas soy lecithin and polysorbate 80 increased the extensibility.Soy lecithin and polysorbate 80 were the only emulsifiers that significantly increased loaf volume compared to the control.Adding higher levels(1.0%)of sucrose esters,polysorbate 80,and SSL increased the formation of amylose-lipid complex and mitigate the crumb staling during storage.The results suggested that the emulsifiers could be applied to contribute to optimum functional quality of whole wheat bread.

Development and Applications of the Solid Emulsifier Used to Improve the Performance of Oil-in-water Drilling Fluids

The oil-in-water emulsion drilling fluids, prepared by adding 5～12% (by volume) of mineral oil (or diesel) to water-based muds, have been widely used for stuck-pipe prevention in the Shengli Oilfield. In some cases, the emulsion stability of this kind of mud system is not strong enough to meet the requirements of drilling operations. To overcome this drawback, a solid emulsifier, which is characterized by its very small particle size and special wetting behavior (slightly water-wet), has been developed and successfully applied to improve the emulsion stability and other performances of these drilling fluids. Prior to the development of this technology, an extensive study was conducted to deal with the influence of various kinds of finely divided insoluble solid particles on oil/water emulsification. The substances used include bentonite, organophilic clay, kaolinite, barite, two kinds of calcium carbonate with different particle sizes, two kinds of silica with different wetting behaviors, and a newly developed solid emulsifier. Both the emulsion stability experiments and the drop coalescence experiments are performed to evaluate the contribution of these particles to emulsification. The measured final emulsion volume disappears after 12 hours and the half-life for water and oil drops are used as the measures of emulsion stability. The experimental data show that the type, size, concentration and wettability of the particles, and the presence of some surfactants control the type and stability of emulsions for a given oil/water system, and the fine particles of the solids emulsifier provide the most effective stabilization for water-continuous emulsions compared with other kinds of particles. Meanwhile, it can be observed that these particles also stabilize oil-continuous emulsions effectively in some cases since their wetting behavior is close to neutral. The O/W emulsion mud stabilized by the newly developed solid emulsifier has become one of the major mud systems used in directional and horizontal well drilling in the Shengli Oilfield. In addition to the improvement of emulsion stability, this solid emulsifier has the advantages of improving the lubricity of mud cake and is beneficial to the control of rheological properties and filtration.

Surfactant food emulsifiers are among the most extensively used food additives.Like all authorized food additives,emulsifiers have been evaluated by risk assessors,who consider them as safe.However,there are growing concerns among scientists about their possible harmful effects on intestinal barriers and microbiota.It is also suggested that emulsifier consumption might be one of the main causes of the rising incidence of a number of diseases,such as allergic diseases,celiac disease,type I diabetes and Crohn’s disease.Moreover,it has recently been suggested that emulsifier consumption might contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome and can promote colitis-associated colorectal cancer also.This paper provides an overview of the current scientific knowledge on possible effects of surfactant emulsifiers on intestinal barriers and also of regulatory risk assessment approaches.Our main objective is to reveal the reasons for the discrepancies between the opinions of risk assessors and the scientific world.We would like to draw the attention of the academic world to the need of specific in vivo and/or clinical studies for each emulsifier in order to help risk assessors make adequate evaluations and rule out with certainty that authorized food emulsifiers pose a safety concern to consumers’health.

Nonionic Polymerizable Emulsifier in High-Solids-Content Acrylate Emulsion Polymerization

Stable high-solids-content acrylate emulsion were obtained with a nonionic polymerizable emulsifier allyloxy nonylphenoxy poly （ethyleneoxy） （10） ether （ANPEO10）, and a conventional emulsifier OP-10 as a reference sample. 1H NMR proves that the polymerizable emulsifier ANPEO10 has been incorporated into the resulted acrylate polymers. TEM demonstrates that there are some differences in the particle morphologies. AFM proves that the polymerizable emulsifier ANPEO10 migrating to the surface of the emulsion film was much less than the conventional emulsifier OP-10. The polymerizable emulsifier ANPEO10 can enhance the adhesion with glass plate compared to the conventional emulsifier. Furthermore, with increasing amount of emulsifier, the surface free energy of the films first decreased and then increased, and the adhesion with glass plate is initially enhanced and then attenuated. The water-resistance and solvent-resistance of the films prepared by the polymerizable emulsifier ANPEO10 are superior to those prepared by the conventional emulsifier OP-10.

SOLUBILITIES OF VINYL CHLORIDE IN EMULSIFIER SOLUTIONS

1 INTRODUCTIONVinyl chloride（VC）is a slightly water-soluble monomer.But its solubility in water(～10g·L-1)is much higher than that of olefins(0.1～1g·L-1).The solubilityof VC is an important parameter in suspension,emulsion and miniemulsionpolymerizations.The presence of emulsifier in aqueous medium will enhance the solubil-ity of VC.The solubility of VC depends not only on the types and concentration of theemulsifier,but also on the temperature and pressure.Unfortunately,the solubilities ofVC in emulsifier solutions are rarely reported in literatures.

A Protocol to Develop Phenolic Emulsifiers Used in Micro-surface by Control Technology

The phenolic emulsifiers used in emulsified asphalt of micro-surfacing, which was the most important tools in the road maintenance, were investigated by control technology. Many factors influencing this reaction were studied and three kinds of phenolic emulsifiers were prepared without catalyst in ethanol. The performance was researched that 2-（{2-[2-（2-Amino-ethylamino）-ethylamino]-ethyl-amino}-methyl）-4- nonyl-phenol （abbreviated as TETA） could be used in micro-surface. With addition of 0.5 % demulsifier, the mixing time was extended to 120 seconds obviously, and the cohesion torque （60 min） was 2.8 N＊m, which satisfied the opening traffic time shorter than 1 h. The wet track abrasion （6 d） was lower than 807 g/m2, with interracial modifier added, but the load wheel was increased with interfacial modifier increasing. When the TETA： demulsifier： interracial modifier =3：1：3, excellent performance was obtained and the experimental results met the International Slurry Surfacing Association （ISSA） standard. The synthesis process of this emulsifier is simple and the performance used in micro-surface was excellent, so this kind of emulsifier could have a better application future.

Experimental research on influence of emulsifier on crystallization quantity of emulsion explosives under dynamic pressure

Dynamic pressure was applied on emulsion explosive by using an underwater explosion measuring apparatus, and the crystallization quantity was measured by dissolution method after emulsion explosive was pressed; the influence of emulsi- fier content and type was analyzed. The experimental results show that emulsifier content and type have an important effect on crystallization quantity of emulsion explosive. The crystallization quantity will reduce with Span-g0 content from 2% to 4%, so the demulsification and crystallization will decrease if the emulsifier content improves appropriately and the dynamic pressure resistance will increase. For emulsion explosive emulsified by T-152 and Span-g0, the crystallization quantity with T-152 is less than that of Span-g0 under the same dynamic pressure. This shows that the emulsifying effect ofT-152 is better than Soan-80.

Roes of yellowfin tuna （Thunnus albacares） and red snapper （Lutjanus champecanus） are considered as abundant and underutilized by-product in Indonesia. The production of roe protein concentrate （RPC） is expected to increase the economic value and potency of their usage. Tuna and red snapper RPC was defatted using etano195% with one, two, three and four times of repetition. Both RPC made with four times repetition of defatting had the highest protein content （79.90% and 80.72%）, showed high emulsion activity （97.46% and 99.62%） and emulsion stability （97.10% and 99.48%）, and decreased the interfacial tension of 51% and 55.9%, respectively. Mayonnaise was made with 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% substitution level of each RPC with four times repetition ofdefatting. The physical, chemical and organoleptic properties of mayonnaise were studied. The best mayonnaise formulation was obtained from 50% substitution level of tuna and red snapper RPC. Mayonnaise with tuna and red snapper RPC had good viscosity （5,920 cPs and 5,845 cPs）, high emulsion stability （90.5% and 91.73%） and small fat globule size （±2.5 lam and ± 2.25 lam）, respectively. These mayonnaises also showed high score of spreadability and low intense of fishy odor. However they still had quite strong of fishy flavor based on scoring test.

Physical property improvement of fluid shortening using peanut oil-based diacylglycerols and their applications in sponge cake

Fluid shortening is an important ingredient in the production of sponge cake. Peanut oil with 0, 43% and 85% of diacylglycerol content was used as the base oil. Different emulsifiers, such as glycerol monostearate, soy lecithin and sucrose ester, and their respective amounts, were investigated. It was found that the addition of emulsifiers had a positive effect on water-absorbing capacity, air-absorbing capacity and viscosity of the oils. Glycerol monostearate was the preferred emulsifier for fluid shortening with a recommended addition of 1.5%. The effects of different diacylglycerol content on fluid shortening and their impact on sponge cake production was also investigated. The onset oxidation temperature of the oil could be increased from 253.21 ℃ for PO-TAG-based fluid shortening to 263.70 ℃ for PO-DAG85-based fluid shortening. And the increase in diacylglycerol content leading to a lower specific gravity of the batter, which was 1.06 g/mL, 1.02 g/mL and 0.98 g/mL prepared by PO-DAG, PO-DAG43 and PO-DAG85 shortening, respectively. The results showed that diacylglycerols can be used as base oils in fluid shortening to improve the crystal network and stability of fluid shortenings, thereby reducing the specific gravity of the batter and improving the structural properties of the cake. This will extend the potential applications of diacylglycerols and increase the variety of base oils available for fluid shortening preparation.

Influence of Emulsifiers on the Synthesis of Insulin-loaded Nanocapsules in Double Emulsion

Insulin entrapped nanocapsules to use polylactide （PLA） as the encapsulating material were prepared through a modified water-in-oil-in-water （W/O/W） emulsification and solvent evaporation method, The average particle size of PLA nanocapsules obtained was decreased to （181.5 ± 8.4） nm, and capably adjusted from 180 to 370 nm by using different types and content of nonionic emulsifiers. The influence of emulsifiers on property of nanocapsules was discussed in detail. The effects of spans and tweens to modify the size of the nanocapsules were different, which can be due to the distribution of the surfactants on the inner interface between the inner water and oil of the double emulsion. The encapsulation efficiency and drug release of nanocapsules were affected obviously by the content and type of emulsifiers.
