The interaction between sodium carboxymethylcellulose and water

A differential scanning calorimeter has been used to study the nonfreezing of water in a series of solutions of sodium carboxymethylcellulose. In particular, the effects of molecular weight, degree of substitution, and particle size have been investigated. The results show that large amounts of water are associated with all the samples of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, suggesting a multilayer arrangement of water molecules about the solute. A change in degree of substitution has some effect on the hydration, but it appears less significant than a change in molecular weight.     

Stress development during drying of calcium carbonate suspensions containing carboxymethylcellulose and latex particles

Stress development during drying of coatings produced from aqueous dispersions of calcium carbonate particles in the presence and absence of organic binders was studied using a controlled-environment stress apparatus that simultaneously monitored drying stress, weight loss, and relative humidity. Specifically, the influence of two organic binders on drying stress evolution was investigated: (1) carboxymethylcellulose, a water-soluble viscosifying aid, and (2) a styrene-butadiene latex emulsion of varying glass transition temperature. The stress histories exhibited three distinct regions. First, a period of stress rise was observed, which reflected the capillary tension exerted by the liquid on the particle network. Second, a maximum stress was observed. Third, it was followed by a period of either stress decay or rise depending on the organic species present. Significant differences in stress histories were observed between coatings containing soluble and nonsoluble binders. Maximum drying stresses (sigmamax) of 0.2-0.5 MPa were observed for coatings produced from pure calcium carbonate or calcium carbonate-latex suspensions, whereas coatings with carboxymethylcellulose exhibited substantially higher sigmamax values of 1-2 MPa. Upon drying, these coatings were quite hygroscopic, such that cyclic variations in relative humidity induced large cyclic changes in residual stress.     

Polybenzoxazine resins: Aspects of interaction and adsorption behavior

The technique of inverse gas chromatography (IGC) has been used to evaluate the acid–base interaction potential of two polybenzoxazines. One of these, prepared from bisphenol‐A monomer, was shown to be a net base. Another based on dihydroxybenzophenone registered as a net acid. The bisphenol‐A version was adsorbed at controlled thicknesses on α‐alumina, on fumed silica and on boron nitride, all three solids with acidic surfaces as shown by IGC data. Thin layers of the adsorbed polymer near monolayer coverage were strongly perturbed by the underlying substrate, the polymer surface now behaving as a net acid. Thicker layers of the adsorbed polymer revert to basicity, but fail to attain the acid–base interaction constants of the pure polymer. The presence of strongly interactive substrates leads to the creation of a substantial interphase, the interaction properties of the adsorbed polymer varying through the thickness of this layer. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Competitive adsorption between SDS and carbonate on tetrahydrofuran hydrates

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been well known as a promoter for the formation of hydrates. However, the use of SDS to enhance the formation of CO₂ hydrates has not been effective. This work will present an idea of competitive adsorption that will provide insights into the nonpromoting effect of SDS under high carbonate concentrations. The competitive adsorption is studied between DS^? monomers and carbonate ions on tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrates. The adsorption is qualitatively investigated by using pyrene fluorescence measurements. The SDS concentration at which hydrophobic domains occur on the hydrate surface increases with the increased carbonate concentration and this trend is less dependent on the order of addition of these two species. This concentration is 0.17 mM at carbonate concentrations less than 2 μM and it shifts to 3.47 mM at carbonate concentrations higher than 2.5 μM. Thus, using carbonate with its concentration higher than 2.5 μM would be enough to displace the hydrophobic domains formed by SDS up to the solubility limit.     

The adsorption of polyoxyethylated nonylphenol on calcium carbonate in aqueous solution

Summary The adsorption isotherm and dispersing effect of polyoxyethylated nonylphenol of various ethylene oxide chain length in aqueous solution against calcium carbonate have been studied. The type of the adsorption isotherm or the dispersability of the surfactants and their mixtures change remarkably with the ethylene oxide chain length or the arithmetic mean value of it. The proper surfactant for the dispersion was one which gave a Langmuir type isotherm. The possibility of the adsorption in the state of micelles and the dominant effect of the property of micelles in the adsorption and dispersion were suggested.

Reactions between sodium carbonate and vanadium pentoxide

The isothermal reactions between Na₂CO₃(X) and V₂O₅(Y) have been studied. It has been noticed that the reaction depends on both temperature and the molar X:Y ratios for the mixtures 1:6 and 1:3. For higher Na₂CO₃ contents, the reaction is more dependent on temperature. An X-ray examination of the isothermal products revealed the sequence of formation of different types of vanadates. The X-ray diffraction patterns for five sodium vanadates were investigated. The presence of two types of bronze I; Na₂V₁₂O₃₁ and NaV₆O₁₅ was evidenced by both X-ray and differential thermal analysis. The transformation of the former compound to the latter during cooling is accompanied by oxygen evolution; a phenomenon which is reversible.     

Study of sodium interaction with calcium nitrate and carbonate in alkali metal chloride melts by IR and Raman spectroscopy

In the IR and Raman spectra of molten eutectic mixtures of alkali metal chlorides with additions of calcium nitrate and carbonate (without the introduction of sodium), vibrations of NO₃⁻ and CO₃²⁻ groups of symmetry D _3h were detected. After the introduction of sodium metal into the melts of oxygen-containing salts in amounts equal to the stoichiometric content of oxygen-containing groups, the spectra did not show the characteristic frequencies of the NO₂⁻ group or CO₃²⁻ vibrations, which is evidence of the complete oxidation of the alkali metal accompanied by reduction of the nitrate and carbonate groups to nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide, respectively. The results of spectroscopic studies are presented.     

Effect of counter-ions on the solution conformation and adsorption behaviors of comb-like polycarboxylates on calcium carbonate

Three kinds of polycarboxylate ether (PCE) polymers with the same length of side chains but different backbone length were synthesized by aqueous free radical polymerization. Adding counter-ions (i.e., Na⁺, Ca²⁺) to dilute PCE solutions was found to induce a more complicated conformational change, since the screening of the electrostatic intramolecular repulsion and the different complexation behaviors of Ca²⁺ with carboxylic groups. Further characterization on the adsorption indicated that the differences of the adsorption ability resulted from the difference in the solution conformation of PCE molecule. PCE of a medium backbone length studied herein possesses a more extended polymer backbone due to the intermolecular steric hindrance, which result in more carboxylic groups could be accessible for adsorption. Obviously, the solution conformation of PCE strongly impacts the accessible carboxylic group contribution to adsorption. In this way it may provide a new insight to design the polymer structures of PCE with superior adsorption ability.     

Impact of sodium polyacrylate on the amorphous calcium carbonate formation from supersaturated solution

A detailed in situ scattering study has been carried out on the formation of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) particles modulated by the presence of small amounts of sodium polyacrylate chains. The work is aiming at an insight into the modulation of ACC formation by means of two polyacrylate samples differing in their molecular weight by a factor of 50. The ACC formation process was initiated by an in situ generation of CO(3)(2-) ions via hydrolysis of 10 mM dimethylcarbonate in the presence of 10 mM CaCl(2). Analysis of the formation process by means of time-resolved small-angle X-ray and light scattering in the absence of any additives provided evidence for a monomer addition mechanism for the growth of ACC particles. ACC formation under these conditions sets in after a lag-period of some 350 s. In the presence of sodium polyacrylate chains, calcium polyacrylate aggregates are formed during the lag-period, succeeded by a modulated ACC growth in a second step. The presence of anionic polyacrylate chains changed the shape of the growing particles toward loose and less homogeneous entities. In the case of low amounts (1.5-7.5 mg/L) of the long chain additive with 97 kDa, the size of the aggregates is comparable to the size of the successively formed hybrid particles. No variation of the lag-period has been observed in this case. Use of the short chain additive with 2 kDa enabled increase of the additive concentration up to 100 mg/L and resulted in a significant increase of the lag-period. This fact, together with the finding that the resulting hybrid particles remained stable in the latter case, identified short chain sodium polyacrylates as more efficient modulators than long chain polyacrylates.     

Effect of cationic polyacrylamide adsorption kinetics and ionic strength on precipitated calcium carbonate flocculation

The effect of polymer adsorption kinetics and ionic strength on the dynamics of particle flocculation was quantified using a model system consisting of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) at a low shear rate. All early flocculations detectable by a photodispersion analyzer (PDA) happened in nonequilibrium polymer adsorption regimes. We observed discrepancies in flocculation rates with the surface coverage theory, which is based on a simple monolayer adsorption model, in both early and late flocculation stages. For instance, the same amount of adsorbed CPAM reached at different polymer doses demonstrated different flocculating capabilities. This highlighted the importance of polymer adsorption kinetics upon flocculation. The transient conformation of the adsorbed CPAM during the kinetic process sometimes even superceded the adsorbed amount in the determination of PCC flocculation. Both antagonistic and synergetic effects of increased ionic strength on the CPAM-induced PCC aggregation were observed during early flocculation. However, late-stage PCC flocculation shared some similarities, irrespective of polymer dose and ionic strength. Despite the decreased amount of adsorbed polymer from the increased ionic strength, the combination of CPAM and salt, at certain concentrations, demonstrated a synergy to promote PCC aggregation more efficiently than the same amount of the respective components.

Copper immobilized on biomimetic assembled calcium carbonate/carboxymethylcellulose hybrid: a highly active recoverable catalyst for CuAAC reactions

A novel copper immobilized on biomimetic assembled carboxymethylcellulose/calcium carbonate hybrid (Cu^II@CMC/CaCO₃) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles has been described herein. The fabrication of Cu^II@CMC/CaCO₃ is accomplished through a bioinspired mineralization process using sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) as the template and ion exchange agent, while the metathesis, nucleation, assemble, hybridization, and immobilization of Cu(II) occurred by successful treatment with CaCl₂, Na₂CO₃, and CuSO₄ in water at room temperature. The resultant Cu^II@CMC/CaCO₃ hybrid was well characterized by various analyses such as FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDX, EDX-mapping, TEM, and TGA techniques. In the presence of low copper loading of Cu^II@CMC/CaCO₃ hybrid, benzylic halides, azide, and alkynes proceeded smoothly to afford 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in high yields. The catalyst can be conveniently recovered from the reaction mixture by filter and reused for at least 5 consecutive runs with a slight drop in its catalytic activity. The remarkable activity and stability of the catalyst may be attributed to the coordination of both carboxyl and hydroxyl groups of the hybrid of CMC/CaCO₃.

A thermoanalytical study of the interaction of vanadiumoxide(V) with calcium oxide and calcium carbonate

The interaction of V₂O₅ with calcium oxide and calcium carbonate was studied by thermal analysis. The results indicated that the macrosuccession of the phase transformations in the systems CaO-V₂O₅ and CaCO₃-V₂O₅ corresponds to an increasing calcium content in each successively formed calcium vanadate. Thermodynamical calculations carried out by methods available in the literature for determining the primary products and the succession of the subsequently formed products demonstrate that chemical reactions proceeding in the above systems are controlled by kinetic and not by thermodynamic factors.     

四苯硼钠在活性炭表面吸附过程的疏水相互作用

In this paper, the adsorption characteristics of sodium tetraphenylborate(NaBPh4) on activated carbon at 298.2,303.2,308.2,313..2 and 323.2 K was studied.The results show that the adsorption isotherm of NaBPh4 on activated carbon at different temperatures could be described using Langrnuir equation. Furthermore, the standard Gibbs energy, enthalpy, entropy and hydrophobic interaction Gibbs energy for the adsorption of NaBPh4 on activated carbon were studied, and the result shows that the hydrophobic interaction of BPh4^- ion plays the most important role for the transfer of NaBPh4 from water to activated carbon surface.

Influence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and static magnetic field on the properties of freshly precipitated calcium carbonate

Properties of calcium carbonate precipitated from aqueous solutions of CaCl(2) and Na(2)CO(3) in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and S-S 0.1 T magnetic field (MF) were studied. The nucleation and precipitation processes of CaCO(3) were investigated by pH and zeta potential measurements at 20 +/- 1 degrees C up to 2 h after mixing the solutions. Also the amounts of calcium carbonate deposited on the glass surfaces and its structure were examined. It was found that SDS influences the kinetics of precipitation, crystallographic forms, and crystal size of CaCO(3). The SDS effects are more pronounced in MF presence. A small amount of SDS accelerates transformation of vaterite into calcite, whereas increasing surfactant concentration moderates such a transformation. On the other hand, in all the systems, MF in the presence of SDS causes a slower transformation of vaterite into calcite. These effects are reflected in pH and zeta potential changes, although there is no clear dependence between the SDS amount present during the precipitation and changes of the parameters investigated. It seems that MF effect is most significant at a defined optimal SDS concentration. The results, however, do not allow suggestion of any detailed mechanism of the field interaction.     

Influence of the sodium and calcium non-framework cations on the adsorption of hexane isomers in zeolite BEA

We have performed configurational-bias Monte Carlo simulations to compute pure component adsorption isotherms of n-hexane, 3-methylpentane and 2,2-dimethylbutane in BEA-Polymorphs A and B at 423?K. The effect of the density and nature of influence of non-framework cations was systematically analyzed. Our results show that differences in the type and concentration of the non-framework cations lead to differences in adsorption loading. We found that this behavior is directly related to the preferential adsorption sites of the isomers as well as to the amount and location of the non-framework cations.     

Kinetics of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate adsorption on hematite and its interaction with polyacrylamide

This article describes the adsorption of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, an anionic surfactant, on a hematite surface and that when the surface is preadsorbed with polyacrylamide. The adsorption of surfactant on a hematite surface has been studied through equilibration and during kinetics measurements at three pH levels, viz. 4.0, 7.0, 8.9. The surfactant adsorbs strongly on the hematite surface. The adsorption density at equilibrium as well as the rate of adsorption are dependent on the suspension pH. The maximum adsorption density has been observed at pH 4, which reflects strong adsorption of negatively charged sulfonate ions on the oppositely charged Fe₂O₃ surface (point of zero charge, 6.4). The adsorption density reaches its equilibrium value sooner in the case of an alkaline suspension and later in the case of acidic pH. The polymer surfactant interaction has been noticed in the present study and is also a function of pH. The hematite mineral when preadsorbed with the polymer draws fewer of the surfactant molecules at lower surface coverage (during the initial period of the kinetics measurement) irrespective of the pH. When the adsorption of the surfactant reaches a value which is near the equilibrium one, the pH effect is evident. In the case of acidic pH, the surfactant adsorbs more on the hematite surface when preadsorbed with the polymer compared to the bare surface. In the case of neutral or alkaline pH, however, the density of surfactant adsorption remains lower throughout the kinetics measurement when the surface is preadsorbed with the flocculant compared to the bare surface. The particles also remain flocculated till the end of the experiment, whereas at pH 4 the particles are deflocculated. In addition to pH, the electrostatic nature of the adsorbent and the presence of anionic surfactant have an influence on the flocculation–deflocculation phenomena. The polymer–surfactant interaction has been schematically represented. The surfactant is bound with polymeric chains as a combination of its monomeric form as well as in the form of association in the case of acidic media and in competition with polymer in the case of alkaline media.

The influence of stabilizing agents on the interaction between styrene/butadiene latex and calcium carbonate: a calorimetric and a dynamic electrokinetic study

The role of stabilizing agents in the interaction between styrene/butadiene latex and calcium carbonate particles has been studied using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and an electrokinetic sonic amplitude (ESA) technique. It is demonstrated that the polyacrylate sodium salt (dispersing agent, referred to as NaPA) used as stabilizing agent for the calcium carbonate suspensions principally affects the interfacial properties of the calcite surface. An electrostatic barrier is created and this decreases the attractive interactions between the latex and the negatively charged mineral surface. The total enthalpy change observed when an emulsion of styrene/butadiene particles substantially free from surfactant was added to the dispersed calcium carbonate could be described via a relatively complex path. The process included (i) an exothermic response from the association of the latex particles (adsorption process) with the dispersed calcium carbonate surface and (ii) an endothermic bulk phase effect due to the adsorption on the latex particles of dissolved species originating from the calcium carbonate. Stabilization of the latex particles with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) or a non-ionic fatty alcohol ethoxylate surfactant did not significantly change the enthalpy of interaction. It was further demonstrated that SDBS had a very weak affinity for the dispersed calcium carbonate particles and that dissolution of species, such as calcium ions, from the calcium carbonate surface, allows further adsorption of SDBS onto the latex particles.
