{"title":"Evaluation of demulsifiers efficiency for coal tar dehydration according to the value of its viscosity reduction","authors":"L. Bannikov, D. Miroshnichenko, O. Borisenko, A. Bannikov","doi":"10.15407/hftp14.01.102","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15407/hftp14.01.102","url":null,"abstract":"For the first time, the relationship between the efficiency of dehydration and the value of reducing the viscosity of the coal tar by adding demulsifier has been studied for “water in tar” emulsions. The dewatering of coal tar emulsions was investigated using 12 demulsifiers with different relative water solubility indices (RSN = 8.2–14.5) for tars of different pyrolysis grades. The effect of a series of demulsifiers on the viscosity of the dispersion medium of “water-in-tar” emulsions was studied. A low-pyrolysis tar was taken as a model of dispersion medium of emulsions with 1.2 % moisture content and 1.0 % of quinoline insoluble substances. A bottle test was used for a comparative evaluation of the demulsifying activity. The rheological characteristics of the studied tars were determined with a rotational controlled-shear rate rheometer Brookfield DV2T in a temperature range between 30 and 65 °C. When demulsifiers were added to the tar and the mixture was aged for 24 h, a decrease in viscosity was observed. When measured without withstanding, the viscosity of the mixture decreases in some cases only at a sufficiently high heating temperature (58 °C). The comparison of the dewatering efficiency with the mixture viscosity at 58 °C shows a linear dependence: the more the tar viscosity decreases when the demulsifier is added, the higher the dewatering efficiency when using this demulsifier for tars of different pyrolytic degree. Decreasing the viscosity of the tar promotes the coalescence of water drops and the diffusion rate of the demulsifier through the dispersion medium to the water-tar interface, which increases the efficiency of dewatering. The selectivity of tar dehydration by the studied demulsifiers is preserved for both low- and high-pyrolyzed coal tars. In the area of low viscosity reduction of the dispersion medium, the role of RSN is considerably higher, and an increase in the hydrophilicity of the reagent contributes to better dehydration. This may be due to the increased wetting ability of demulsifiers concerning emulsion stabilizers.","PeriodicalId":296392,"journal":{"name":"Himia, Fizika ta Tehnologia Poverhni","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126691649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the paper was to develop and synthesize the polymer-filled systems based on the polychlorotrifluoroethylene and tin dioxide modified by nickel ferrite in order to study their electrophysical properties as potential materials absorbing electromagnetic radiation. NiFe2O4/SnO2 nanocomposites with a volume content of nickel ferrite on the surface of tin dioxide from 0.62 to 0.8 were synthesized by co-precipitation. Size of SnO2 and NiFe2O4 nanoparticles was determined by a transmission electron microscope and its about 30–50 nm and 15–30 nm, respectively. For the NiFe2O4/SnO2 nanocomposites the values of complex permittivity and complex permeability in the microwave range, values of conductivity at low frequencies were investigated. Maximum values of complex permittivity and complex permeability were found for NiFe2O4/SnO2 nanocomposites at the volume content of nickel ferrite 0.62. An increase was observed in the complex permittivity for the NiFe2O4/SnO2–polychlorotrifluoroethylene system, 2–3 times greater than the values related to the NiFe2O4/SnO2 nanocomposites. The electrical conductivity at low frequencies (100 Hz) of polymer composites increases by an order of magnitude with a decrease of the concentration of nickel ferrite on the surface of tin dioxide. It was found that the calculated absorption coefficient of an electromagnetic wave in the frequency range 1–41 GHz for NiFe2O4/SnO2 nanocomposites is about 2 times greater than that for nickel ferrite. It is shown that the creation of nanocomposites based on a conductive component modified by a magnetic component is more efficient for the processes of absorption of electromagnetic waves in the microwave range at optimal ratios of the values of the permittivity and permeability than pure ferrite.","PeriodicalId":296392,"journal":{"name":"Himia, Fizika ta Tehnologia Poverhni","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124819912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the results of research, the interaction of synthesized samples with SBF leads to a change in the phase composition and the ratio of amorphous and crystalline components. It is necessary to note long and intensive processes involving CO32– ions for unalloyed and alloyed samples. The appearance of calcium carbonate in the form of vaterite with a simultaneous increase in the calcite content is one of the signs of high bioactivity of the synthesized samples. According to the results of XRD, EDX and FTIR studies after 28 days of soaking in SBF, the predominant surface elements are Ca and P in the composition of hydroxyapatite, and the elemental composition indicates active ion exchange processes according to the theory of bioactive glass dissolution in physiological fluids. The change in the ratio of crystalline phases with the inclusion of mainly one crystalline phase of hydroxopatite within 28 days leads to a better structuredness of the surface of the synthesized samples and indicates that they have osteoconductive properties, can connect with bone tissue and have the appropriate biodegradation ability.

Among plant sources of anthocyanins chokeberries and elderberries have attracted the interest of consumers due to abundant anthocyanin contents. In this study, adsorption equilibrium and thermodynamics of anthocyanins from chokeberry and elderberry extracts by fibrous cation exchanger FIBAN K–1 were investigated. The anthocyanin extracts were obtained by macerated in 0.1 M HCl under the follow extraction parameters: solid-liquid ratio = 1:2 at 293 K for 24 h. The total anthocyanin content in the extracts was determined by pH-differential method. Adsorption experiments were carried out under static conditions, shaking mixtures of anthocyanin extracts of the berries with FIBAN K–1. The adsorption isotherms were of L-type according to the classification of Giles. The adsorption capacity of FIBAN K– 1 for the chokeberry and elderberry anthocyanins increased as the temperature increased from 293 to 313 K. The Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin adsorption models were used to describe the experimental adsorption isotherms. These models had a good agreement with the experimental data for adsorption of the anthocyanins, but the Langmuir model was the most favorable model for studying the adsorption equilibrium of the chokeberry and elderberry anthocyanins on FIBAN K–1. Thermodynamic parameters of the anthocyanin adsorption, such as DG°, DH°, and DS° were calculated. The ∆G° values were negative, thus indicating that the adsorption of the chokeberry and elderberry anthocyanins on FIBAN K-1 was spontaneous and favorable process under the experimental conditions. The decrease of the ΔG° values with increasing temperature shows that adsorption is more favorable at high temperature. The ∆H°values were positive for the anthocyanins of both kind of berries, which indicates the adsorption was an endothermic reaction. The ∆S°values were positive, which means that the anthocyanins in the aqueous phase are more organized than those in the adsorbent-liquid interface.","PeriodicalId":296392,"journal":{"name":"Himia, Fizika ta Tehnologia Poverhni","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125402237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that for this purpose it is advisable to use acid-activated bentonite clay with a high content of clay mineral - montmorillonite. Modified bentonite is a slightly amorphized silica product that serves as a porous matrix for crystallization of goethite α-FeOOH. The formation of goethite occurs at the centers of crystallization - particles of ferrihydrite stabilized by activated bentonite (Fh) during precipitation with an ammonia solution from a ferrum(ІІІ) hydroxide FeO(OH)×nH2O colloidal solution. In the resulting composite, goethite particles are cemented in the aluminosilicate framework of activated dispersed clay as a result of the interpenetration of the structures of the double layered hydroxide and activated bentonite. Further recrystallization of goethite with the formation of mainly magnetite and possibly maghemite in the structure of activated bentonite is provided by thermal firing of composite goethite powder with the addition of metallic iron powder. The methods of IR spectroscopy, X-ray structural analysis, electron microscopy and the study of magnetic properties showed that the obtained composite powder is environmentally friendly and exhibits the properties of a soft magnetic material. Such powders are promising for use as sorbents for environmental cleaning, as well as for biomedical purposes due to their low toxicity and high value of saturation magnetization.","PeriodicalId":296392,"journal":{"name":"Himia, Fizika ta Tehnologia Poverhni","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128367764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mixture of powders of boron carbide, aluminum or silicon is heat treated in vacuum at conventional evaporation temperatures of Al (1520 K) or Si (1640 K) for 1–5 h. The samples were purified with alkali and analyzed by arbitration chemical analysis for boron, carbon, aluminum and silicon. The formula composition of the input powders of boron carbide was determined as B12[(C-В-C)x(C-C-C)1-x], where x = 0.4–0.6. The aluminum substitution reaction takes place in both types of boron carbide chains and corresponds to the formula B12(C-Al-C) or AlB12C2.

The effects of the hydro-compaction of A-300 depend strongly on the wetting degree with maximum changes at h = 1.5–2.0 g/g. The wetting degree could be varied to control the reorganization of aggregates of nonporous nanoparticles (NPNP, which are composed of tightly packed adherent proto-particles or nuclei) and agglomerates of aggregates (secondary and ternary structures, respectively), as well as visible particles; i.e., there is a penta-level structural hierarchy of nanosilica with three-level supra-NPNP structures. The hydro-compaction is accompanied by non-monotonic changes in the morphological and textural characteristics of cA–300 vs. h. However, the nanoparticles are much weaker affected by the treatment than higher hierarchical structures. At h £ 1 g/g, the reorganization of aggregate/agglomerate structures does not lead to diminution of the specific surface area (SSA); however, at h ³ 1.5 g/g, the SSA value decreases, but the pore volume (estimated from nitrogen adsorption) increases despite the empty volume (estimated from the bulk density rb) of the powder decreases from 21.8 cm3/g for initial A–300 (rb = 0.045 g/cm3) to 3.45 cm3/g on hydro-compaction at h = 4.5 g/g (rb = 0.256 g/cm3), pores become more ordered with a predominant contribution of cylindrical shapes. The textural reorganization of dried hydro-compacted nanosilica is possible again after addition of new water amount. This suggests that the chemical bonds between neighboring nanoparticles do not practically form upon the hydro-compaction and subsequent drying. Thus, hydro-compacted nanosilica loses a dust-forming property (since rb strongly increases), but it remains active with respect to the NPNP mobility, e.g., in aqueous media, and the possibility of the reorganization of the supra-NPNP structures remains under various external actions that is of importance from a practical point of view.","PeriodicalId":296392,"journal":{"name":"Himia, Fizika ta Tehnologia Poverhni","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121924941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

X-ray diffraction experiments demonstrate similar patterns for all grown ZnO nanostructures. The SEM images of ZnO NS grown on Ag/Si and Au/Si wafers demonstrate more dense surface microstructure compared to ZnO NS grown on bare Si wafers. The most intensive ultraviolet and deep level emissions are observed for ZnO NS grown on Ag/Si wafers. Increase in thicknesses of Ag island film from 5 nm to 10 nm gives significant increase in intensity of ultraviolet and deep level emissions. Photocatalysis of grown ZnO nanostructures was studied by methyl orange dye degradation. Superior photocatalytic results are demonstrated by ZnO nanostructures grown on Ag/Si wafers, for which constants of dye degradation were twice higher than for ZnO nanostructures grown on Si and Au/Si substrates. The photocatalytic results correlates with photoluminescence spectra: more intensive photoluminescence in ultraviolet and visible ranges of optical spectrum leads to better photocatalytic performance.
