In this paper, a novel collector, dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12), was used in the selective separation of ilmenite from titanaugite. The flotation performance and associated adsorption mechanism were studied by micro-flotation experiments, particle size analysis, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The micro-flotation results indicated that BS-12 exhibited a stronger collecting ability towards ilmenite than titanaugite within an acidic pH range, and that the recovery of ilmenite was about 50% higher than that of titanaugite under the optimum flotation conditions. Particle size analysis demonstrated that BS-12 could selectively agglomerate ilmenite to a certain extent and then contribute to the flotation difference between ilmenite and titanaugite. FT-IR results showed some characteristic bands of BS-12 on treated ilmenite, and on titanaugite with BS-12. The XPS analysis further confirmed that BS-12 chemisorbed onto ilmenite and titanaugite in a similar way, but the limited active sites on titanaugite in comparison with ilmenite accounted for their differences in flotation.

The degradation and mechanical properties of potential polymeric materials used for green manufacturing are significant determinants. In this study, cellulose nanofibre was prepared from Schizostachyum brachycladum bamboo and used as reinforcement in the PLA/chitosan matrix using melt extrusion and compression moulding method. The cellulose nanofibre(CNF) was isolated using supercritical carbon dioxide and high-pressure homogenisation. The isolated CNF was characterised with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), FT-IR, zeta potential and particle size analysis. The mechanical, physical, and degradation properties of the resulting biocomposite were studied with moisture content, density, thickness swelling, tensile, flexural, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry, and biodegradability analysis. The TEM, FT-IR, and particle size results showed successful isolation of cellulose nanofibre using this method. The result showed that the physical, mechanical, and degradation properties of PLA/chitosan/CNF biocomposite were significantly enhanced with cellulose nanofibre. The density, thickness swelling, and moisture content increased with the addition of CNF. Also, tensile strength and modulus; flexural strength and modulus increased; while the elongation reduced. The carbon residue from the thermal degradation and the glass transition temperature of the PLA/chitosan/CNF biocomposite was observed to increase with the addition of CNF. The result showed that the biocomposite has potential for green and sustainable industrial application.

Xanthate was successfully grafted onto bentonite by a relatively simple solution reaction. The obtained xanthated bentonite (XBent) was characterized by FT-IR spectrophotometer, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), particle size analysis, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XBent acting as a type of environmentally friendly adsorbent was applied to remove lead ions from aqueous solutions. The optimum conditions were as follows: [Pb2 + ] = 500 mg L−1, [XBent] = 2 g L−1, pH = 5.0; oscillating 60 min under 200 rpm at 25°C. The removal rate of lead was up to 99.9%. It was found that the lead(II) ions—XBent adsorption isotherm model fitted well to the Freundlich isotherm. The adsorption mechanism was also investigated by SEM and XRD, which concluded that lead ions were complexed or chelated with XBent. XBent appears to have potential to be used later in water treatment as a type of inorganic polymer reagent.

The developing enamel matrix is a highly dynamic system mainly composed of the full-length amelogenin and its proteolytic cleavage products. In this study, size, zeta-potential, and the isoelectric points of nanoparticles of the recombinant full-length human amelogenin (rH174) and two proteolytic products (rH163 and rH146) were analyzed by dynamic light-scattering and electrokinetic measurements. We tested the hypothesis that zeta-potential may be used as a control parameter in directing the self-assembly of amelogenins. Extensive aggregation of amelogenin molecules with the particle size reaching about one micron occurred at a mildly acidic to neutral pH, and coincided with the red shift of the internal fluorescence. Zeta-potential was between ± 15 mV in the same pH range, indicating that amelogenin aggregation occurred when surface potentials were minimal. This suggests that electrostatic interactions may be another crucial factor, aside from hydrophobic interaction, in the aggregation and hierarchical assembly of spherical particles of amelogenins into supramolecular structures of a higher order.

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effectiveness of a heterogeneous photocatalyst based on TiO2 in the treatment of coal mining drainage which contains a variety of heavy metals and high concentration sulfates and sulfides. The photocatalytic behavior of the commercial reference Sigma Aldrich and the different materials synthesized using the Sol-gel methodology with surface modifications using sulfation and fluorination processes were analyzed. To find a possible correlation between the physicochemical properties of photocatalysts and their behavior, a characterization was carried out using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR), UV–Vis diffuse reflectance Spectra (UV-Vis DRS), N2 physisorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and particle size analysis. Results indicated that the modification of the TiO₂ prepared in the laboratory using sulfation and fluorination allowed the successful control of the physicochemical properties of this oxide. However, commercial TiO2 showed the greatest effectiveness in removing metals such as: Fe, Cu, Cr, and As after a photocatalytic reaction for a maximum of 1 hour under continuous nitrogen flow and a light intensity of 120 W/m2.

Highly dispersed ZnO nanosol, having an average particle size of about 40nm based on Particle Size Analysis (PSA), was prepared under aqueous solution without the removal of large particles by centrifugation. The ZnO nanosol was investigated on the effect of various dispersion parameters, i.e. milling time, dispersant content, pH, etc. The nanosol was effectively dispersed at 20~30 wt% of dispersant amount compared to ZnO content under ball-milling for 10 hours at pH 10. The dispersion characteristic of the nanosol was investigated into particle size and zeta potential. We discussed on the dispersion behavior of (-) charged ZnO particle surrounded by dispersant together with the variation of (-) charged dispersant's amount in aqueous medium at pH 10. The ZnO powder and nanosol were characterized by SEM, TEM, TGA, FT-IR, PSA and Zeta-potential.

Fertilizer System

A carboxymethylcellulose-based encapsulant system for the controlled release of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) fertilizer was synthesized using alginate as a stabilizer, and citric acid as a crosslinking agent. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, particle size analysis, zeta potential measurement, and scanning electron microscopy showed successful crosslinking, sufficient particle size and colloidal stability, as well as the topography of the formed particles. Fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed successful encapsulation of a model system, 8-anilino-1-napthalenesulfonic acid. Release behavior studies under various pH conditions showed that CMC/Alg NPK conformed to the standards of controlled release fertilizer with a maximum release rate of 50% over the span of 30 days.

β-SiC powder was synthesized using silicon sludge from photovoltaic silicon-wafer production by varying heat treatment temperature and carbon contents. The synthesized β-SiC powder and silicon sludge was analyzed by XRD, SEM, FT-IR and Particle size analysis. It is known that the conversion of SiC from the mixture of Silicon and Carbon is mainly affected by the mole ratio of C/Si and heat treatment temperature. In this study, the influence of reaction temperature and carbon contents on the synthesis of β-SiC from silicon sludge was examined.
