Furthermore, both <em>in vivo</em> and <em>in vitro</em> assays demonstrated that 50 kDa HA conferred higher transfection efficiency than other molecular weights and that the naked pDNA powder composed of 73% HA (50 kDa) and 25% Phe yielded the highest transfection efficiency among powders investigated. A higher relative Phe ratio enhanced aerosol performance but yielded lower transfection efficiency.

To solve this problem, from the new perspective of reducing the heterogeneous coagulation of pentlandite-serpentine and dispersing them, this study explored the influence of sodium tungstate as a dispersant on the dispersion of between pentlandite and serpentine using flotation tests, zeta potential tests, scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) examination, molecular dynamics simulation (MS), and calculations of the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (EDLVO) theory. The results show that −20 μm fine serpentine seriously deteriorates the flotation of pentlandite, while adding sodium tungstate can significantly promote the flotation separation of pentlandite and serpentine. MS simulation results showed that sodium tungstate could be chemisorbed with iron ions on the surface of pentlandite and mainly physisorbed with serpentine. EDLVO theoretical calculations show that after adsorption of sodium tungstate, the interaction between the two changed from attraction to repulsion at pH less than 10, and the mutual attraction was weakened at pH more significant than 10, thus weakening the heterogeneous coagulation between pentlandite and serpentine and causing serpentine to desorb from the surface of pentlandite, thus restoring the floatability of pentlandite, which SEM-EDS also confirmed. This provides a new insight into the dispersion mechanism of sodium tungstate as the innovative dispersant that is different from other dispersants for reducing heterogeneous coagulation of pentlandite and serpentine.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7232,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Powder Technology","volume":"36 1","pages":"Article 104746"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142746544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The preparation of copper-doped cobalt ferrite samples was conducted using the sol–gel method, with citric acid serving as a chelating agent. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements were conducted to identify the phase and structural attributes of the synthesized copper-doped cobalt ferrite. The Rietveld refinement clearly indicates the single-phase cubic structure, characterized by the Fd-3 m space group. The Debye Scherrer formula was used for the calculation of the crystallite size and it was discovered that the average crystallite size varied from ∼ 4.5 to 5.4 nm (which is less than 10 nm) as the doping concentration of Cu&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt; was increased. For the surface morphological studies, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) was used, which suggest that all samples are well prepared and are spherical in nature. EDAX analysis validated the elemental composition with appropriate doping in crystalline samples of &lt;span&gt;&lt;math&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;msub&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mi&gt;C&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mi&gt;u&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;mi&gt;x&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/msub&gt;&lt;msub&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mi&gt;C&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mi&gt;o&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mn&gt;1&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;mo&gt;-&lt;/mo&gt;&lt;mi&gt;x&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/msub&gt;&lt;msub&gt;&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mi&gt;F&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mi&gt;e&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;mn&gt;2&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/msub&gt;&lt;msub&gt;&lt;mi&gt;O&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mn&gt;4&lt;/mn&gt;&lt;/msub&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/math&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. The existence of different chemical bonds has been verified by the Fourier Transform Infrared Rays (FTIR) Spectroscopy. The Raman spectra analysis indicated the existence of various vibrational modes within the sample, revealing the presence of four distinct Raman modes: A1g, Eg, and 2 T2g. Further, the Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) was utilized to explore the luminescent properties of the synthesized sample. The optical characteristics was studied using UV–Visible spectroscopy and it was observed that with an increase in the Cu&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt; concentration, the band gap decreased from 2.466 eV to 2.299 eV.

Filtration experiments were carried out with three selected variables, including the slurry pH, salt concentration, which are the most important parameters of water quality, and the flocculant dosage. Filtration flowrate and cake moisture, the two most critical parameters, while examining filtration performance, were evaluated based on the filtration results. The slurry pH, salt concentration, and flocculant dosage were all found to significantly impact the flowrate, while the cake moisture was mainly affected by flocculant and salt concentration. These observed interactions were correlated with the results from filter cake <em>µ</em>CT imaging. An increase in either salt concentration or the flocculant dosage was observed, which can cause a change in the pore structure of the cake, altering porosity, pore size, and specific surface area within the cake.
