Foaming ability and stability of silica nanoparticle-based triple-phase foam for oil fire extinguishing: experimental

The triple-phase foam has been widely used in oil fire extinguishing, and its two key parameters for application are the foaming ability and stability. We present a comprehensive study on the foam expansion ratio (FER) and drainage time, where factors such as the foam morphology, zeta potential of particles, foam mixing homogeneity, surfactant concentration, particle mass percentage, and specific surface area of the particle are investigated in detail. The dependence relationship curves of FER and drainage time with respect to the latter four variables are given through experiments, and optimal parameter values are selected. Moreover, the scaling laws correlating these variables are in agreement with the experimental results, and some necessary parameters are obtained by data fitting. These analyses are beneficial to better understand the foaming ability and stability mechanism of the triple-phase foam and to prepare materials of high performances for oil fire extinguishing.     

Rheological properties and foam processability for blends of linear and crosslinked polyethylenes

The effect of blending crosslinked linear low‐density polyethylene (cLLDPE) on the rheological properties and foam processability of linear low‐density polyethylene was studied. A small addition of cLLDPE, which had a low density of crosslink points, enhanced strain‐hardening behavior in the elongational viscosity to a great degree, although it had little effect on the steady‐state shear viscosity. The enhanced strain hardening reduced heterogeneous deformation during foaming. As a result, a foam with a uniform cell size distribution was obtained. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Sequestration of CO2 using Cu nanoparticles supported on spherical and rod-shape mesoporous silica

The CO₂ sequestration is one of the most promising solutions to tackle global warming. In this study, spherical mesoporous silica particles (MPS-S) and rod-shaped mesoporous silica particles (MPS-R) loaded with Cu nanoparticles were selectively prepared and employed for CO₂ adsorption. For the first time uniform Cu nanoparticles were incorporated into the rod-shaped mesoporous silica particles by post-synthesis modification using both N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (PEDA) and ethylenediamine (EDA) as coupling agents. The physiochemical properties of the mesoporous and copper grifted silica composites were investigated by CHN elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), surface area analysis, scanning, transmission electron microscopy and gas analysis system (GSD 320, TERMO). The mesoporous silica shows highly ordered mesoporous structures, with the rod-shaped particles having a higher surface area than the spherical ones. Copper nanoparticles with an average diameter of 6.0 nm were uniformly incorporated into the MPS-S and MPS-R. Moreover, Cu-loaded mesoporous silica exhibits up to 40% higher CO₂ adsorption capacity than the bare MPS. The MPS-R modified with Cu nanoparticles showed a maximum CO₂ adsorption capacity of 0.62 mmol/g and the humidity showed a slight negative effect on CO₂ uptake process. The enhancement of CO₂ adsorption onto transition metal/mesoporous substrates provides basis for imminent CO₂ sequestration.     

Platinum Nanoparticles on Silica Obtained Under Mild Conditions Using cis-PtCl2(CO)2 as Precursor

Physi-/chemisorption of cis-PtCl₂(CO)₂ on partially dehydroxylated amorphous silica followed by exposure to water vapor at room temperature or at 210°C produces platinum nanoparticles, through a reductive process involving both coordinated carbon monoxide and water. Incomplete removal of hydrogen-bonded water from the silica surface increases the implantation yield. XPS and TEM measurements are reported. The silica-supported platinum is catalytically active towards the hydrogenation of cyclohexene.     

Drainage of aqueous film-forming foam stabilized by different foam stabilizers

The present study focuses on the drainage property of aqueous film-forming foam stabilized by different types and concentrations of foam stabilizers. Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) formulation concentrates are prepared based on the main components of fluorocarbon surfactant, hydrocarbon surfactant, and organic solvents. Carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CS), xanthan gum (XG), and lauryl alcohol (LA) are selected as foam stabilizers of the AFFF. Surface tension, viscosity, and foamability tests of the AFFF solutions are conducted to evaluate the effect of foam stabilizers on the properties of AFFF solutions. Particularly, an apparatus is established based on the law of connected vessel in order to obtain the instantaneous mass of liquids drained from foams. The drainage features of the AFFFs containing different foam stabilizers are analyzed and compared with each other. The results indicate that AFFF drainage is significantly affected by the type and the concentration of foam stabilizers. The addition of CS and XG to AFFF results in a deceleration of foam drainage, while foam drainage is accelerated by the addition of LA. The variations of surface tension, viscosity, and liquid fraction of foams are the main reasons for the varying foam drainage rate. This study provides a direct connection between chemical components and fundamental properties of AFFF.

Effect of organic acid chain length on foam performance in a porous medium

We have systematically studied the effect of organic acid chain length on surface dilatational properties and foam flow performance in a porous medium. Surface dilatational properties were studied by oscillating drop module (ODM). ODM results in deionized water show that sufficient long chain length of organic acid is an essential requirement for high surface dilatational modulus. While, to various salinities, surfactant to acid ratio of achieving high surface dilatational modulus varies. Foam flow tests show that surface dilatational modulus has decisive effect on produced foam size, which partially determines foam flow pressure drop. Both surface dilatational modulus and surface tension determine foam flow pressure drop. Besides, surface loss modulus also contributes to pressure drop. Bulk foam tests show that addition of organic acids with proper chain length can enhance foam tolerance to oil significantly. Compared with alkane chain length, acid with longer chain has good ability in stabilizing foam. At last, foam flooding tests show that surface dilatational modulus and foam tolerance to oil play important roles in foam enhanced oil recovery.     

Rheological properties of wheat gliadins in aqueous propanol

Rheological properties of wheat gliadins in 50%(V/V) aqueous propanol were carried out as a function of gliadin concentration c and temperature.The solutions at 20 g L 1 to 200 g L 1 behave as Newtonian fluids with an flow activation energy of 23.5 27.3 kJ mol 1.Intrinsic viscosity [η] and Huggins constant k H are determined according to Huggins plot at c ≤ 120 g L 1.The results reveal that gliadins are not spherical shaped and the molecular size tends to increase with temperature due to improved solvation.

V/MCF 催化剂的乙苯脱氢活性显著高于 V/MCM-41, 这是由于前者具有较高的可还原性以及较好的扩散性能. CO2 气氛下的乙苯转化率明显高于 N2 气氛下的, 这归因于 CO2 与乙苯发生氧化脱氢, 并通过逆水煤气变换反应在线除去脱氢反应生成的氢.     

Physicochemical control of foam properties

This article summarizes our recent understanding on how various essential foam properties could be controlled (viz. modified in a desired way) using appropriate surfactants, polymers, particles and their mixtures as foaming agents. In particular, we consider the effects of these agents on the foaminess of solutions and suspensions (foam volume and bubble size after foaming); foam stability to liquid drainage, bubble coalescence and bubble Ostwald ripening; foam rheological properties and bubble size in sheared foams. We discuss multiple, often non-trivial links between these foam properties and, on this basis, we summarize the mechanisms that allow one to use appropriate foaming agents for controlling these properties. The specific roles of the surface adsorption layers and of the bulk properties of the foaming solutions are clearly separated. Multiple examples are given, and some open questions are discussed. Where appropriate, similarities with the emulsions are noticed.     

煤灰在高温下的流变特性研究

为了研究煤灰在高温下的流变特性,以陕西神木煤、内蒙纳林沟煤、宁夏羊肠湾煤和山东南屯煤四种煤灰为样品,利用高温旋转黏度计,研究了高温下煤灰渣黏度和剪切应力随剪切速率的变化。实验结果表明,当实验温度高于煤灰的液相线温度时,其流型表现为牛顿流体;当温度低于液相线温度时,其流型逐渐由牛顿流体转变为非牛顿流体。其中,陕西神木煤和宁夏羊肠湾煤的煤灰样品在高温下表现为剪切增稠,随着温度的降低,由牛顿流体转变为屈服涨塑性流体;内蒙纳林沟煤和山东南屯煤的煤灰样品在高温下表现为剪切变稀,随着温度的降低,由牛顿流体转变为屈服假塑性流体。另外,随着温度的降低,由于液态煤灰中晶体的不断析出,使屈服应力逐渐增大,降低了煤灰的流动性。     

Multi-parameter screening study on the static properties of nanoparticle-stabilized CO2 foam near the CO2 critical point

The important role of nanoparticles (NPs) on foam stabilization under harsh geological conditions has been well recognized. In this paper, the Orthogonal Experimental Design (OED) method is adopted to investigate the synergy effects of six parameters, including NP concentration, surfactant concentration, oil concentration, salinity, temperature, and pressure, under five levels in the range of 0–0.2 wt%, 0.1–0.5 wt%, 0–4 wt%, 0–8 wt%, 20–60 °C, and 5.5–9.5 MPa respectively. K values and B values obtained in the OED experiments are employed to show the single parameter effect and the importance of each influential factor on foam static properties. It is concluded that system temperature and pressure, which has the highest B values of 22 mm and 18 mm on foam height results, are the dominant parameters on foamability, whereas temperature with B values of 80% on foam decay rate is the dominant factor on foam stability. It is observed when the system condition is close to the CO₂ critical point, the foamability and stability of the NP-stabilized foam are much worse than under conditions far from the critical point. At last, optimal formulation of surfactant and NP concentration is proposed and validated for two geological cases of 45 °C and 55 °C with salinity and oil presence. It is expected the experimental technique, as well as the research results, reported in this paper could help the laboratory screening and formulation optimization of the complex NP-stabilized ScCO₂ foam system.

Viscosity modification of lubricating oil based on high-concentration silica nanoparticle colloidal system

In this study, colloidal systems with SiO₂ nanoparticle as viscosity modifier additive were synthesized in the lubricating oil via an in situ Stober sol-gel method. The fluid characters of lubricating oil and viscosity variation were carefully investigated via rheological methods. The results showed that the lubricating oil transformed from Newtonian fluid to non-Newtonian fluid with increasing the concentration of nanoparticles, and smaller particles displayed better thickening effect toward lubricating oil. For the system with highly concentrated nanoparticle (20?wt%), the rheological behavior mainly depends on the size of nano-SiO₂. The lubricating oil with smaller nano-SiO₂ particles displayed higher structural strength and response rate, resulting in good recoverability after high-speed shear. The viscosity changed with temperature and also displayed a thermo-responsive behavior, which significantly alleviated the effect of shear thinning on the viscosity under high temperature. This study presented a new strategy for effectively tuning the fluid characters and modifying the viscosity of lubricating oils by adding highly concentrated inorganic nanoparticles.     

Preparation and properties of negative ion/polyurethane flexible foam composites

Abstract

In this study, negative ionpowder was modified with a silane coupling agent and then added to the polyurethane flexible foam to prepare NI/PU flexible foam composites by the one-step foaming method. The effects of the amount of negative ion powder on the mechanical properties, thermal properties and release of negative ions were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and negative ion detectors. The SEM results showed that modified negative ion powder could be more uniformly distributed around the cell walls of the polyurethane flexible foam. The thermal stability, tensile strength and resilience of the NI/PU flexible foam composite were improved with the increase of the amount of modified negative ion powder. Increasing the amount of modified negative ion powder could also result in an increase in the release of negative ions, and it reached 5500/cm³ or higher at a negative ion content of 3%.     

Effect of crystallization on tensile mechanical properties of PET foam: Experiment and model prediction

Currently Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foam is the most promising structural core materials, and the tensile mechanical properties are one of its important application indicators. Herein, environmental-friendly supercritical CO₂ (ScCO₂) extrusion foaming was adopted to prepare PET foam. Aiming at investigating the influence of crystals on the mechanical properties, isothermal treatment in the post-process was used to improve the crystallization process of PET foams. Due to the crystal perfection proceeds via migration and rejection of the structural defects at the crystallites induced by slow crystallization, the crystallinity increased rapidly with the rise of isothermal temperature, especially above the glass transition temperature (T_g). Qualitatively, it can be concluded that the crystalline phase contents have an intimate positive correlation with the tensile modulus, meanwhile, the shape ratio of the crystal have no significant effects on the tensile modulus. In addition, a coupling scheme of aggregate two-layered composite inclusion model and Simone-Gibson equation was first proposed to quantify the mathematical relationship between crystallization and tensile modulus of PET foam, which realized basic agreement.     

Facile assembly of mesoporous silica nanoparticles with hierarchical pore structure for CO2 capture

In the work, we propose an efficient one-pot approach for synthesis of a new type of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). That can be successfully realized by using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine (TSD) as the silica precursors and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the structure-directing agent through a facile assembly process. The as-synthesized MSNs possess a spherical morphology with about 230 nm, a relatively high surface area of 133 m²/g, and a hierarchical pore size distribution. When applied as the sorbents, the amine-functioned MSNs demonstrate the enhanced adsorption capacity for CO₂ capture (at 1 bar, 15 vol% CO₂, up to 80.5 mg/g at 75 °C), high selectivity, and good cycling durability, benefiting from the suitable modification of polyethyleneimine.
