A solid in the form of a dry powder must first be suspended in a suitable liquid medium (and we will assume that liquid is water for the present). One must then use one or more chemical reagents to force the particles to separate into their ultimate size. It is usually this size which is most significant, because if the system is not completely dispersed then the size can take on practically any value and may also be a function of stirring rate and/or time, among other things. Finding a suitable dispersion procedure can be a time consuming process and, indeed, entire textbooks have been written on the subject. The AcoustoSizer can make this process a lot easier because it can simultaneously measure the electric charge on the particle surface and also the particle size. Since all particles normally have the same sign of charge, they will repel one another if the charge is high enough and so the suspension will be well dispersed. By adding a reagent that varies the charge one can follow the resulting size changes and see when the system has reached a minimum size. That will usually correspond to complete dispersion and the size will be the ultimate size of the particles. 2 Example – Titration of Titania Titanium dioxide (titania, TiO2) is a typical solid oxide which is widely used in the chemical industry (in making paints and coating fibres and paper). When exposed to water (or moist air) its surface becomes coated with a layer of hydroxyl groups and, as with most oxides, those hydroxyl groups can react with hydrogen (H+) and hydroxyl (OH-) ions to produce a positive or negative charge on the particle surface. All oxides thus tend to be positively charged at low pH and negatively charged at high pH. Obviously, then, there is normally a pH somewhere on the scale where the particles have no charge. That is called the isoelectric point or iep. Figure 1 overleaf shows what happens when a suspension of titania is titrated in the AcoustoSizer with acid and base. After each addition of reagent the instrument records both the charge (in the form of the zeta potential) and the particle size (and also the spread of sizes). Initially the particles had very little charge and showed a rather high apparent particle size (about 0.9 µm median diameter). As the pH is raised, the charge (or zeta potential) becomes more negative and the size falls to its minimum value (0.35 µm). Now when the pH is lowered the charge falls to zero at pH 8.5 (the iep) and then becomes positive. At the same time the size increases to a maximum and then falls to the same minimum value as was recorded at the high pH. It is this reproducibility at either end of the pH scale which gives us confidence that the final estimate of size (in this case 0.35 µm) corresponds to the maximum dispersion.

In this case we were interested only in determining the optimum amount of polymer to be used. It was sufficient to show that it was pointless to add any more than 1.6% by weight of polymer to the solid. This is because any more produced no further reduction in the size of these cement particles, even though the zeta potential was still changing very slowly at the higher addition rates. 4 Example – Effect of Homogeniser To make emulsions of oil in water with very small particle size (< 2 µm, say) it is usually necessary to pass an emulsion of larger particles through what is called an homogenizer. That is an instrument in which the droplets of oil are forced through a very small tube so that they become distorted. As they emerge from the tube into the water the drops can be shaken apart to form smaller drops. It is a very easy matter to follow with the AcoustoSizer the fate of the emulsion droplets after each pass through the homogenizer. The size distribution becomes much narrower after each pass through the homogenizer. The minimum size is not much affected but the maximum size is reduced from an initial 2 µm to about 0.5 µm. This is what we would expect because it is much easier for the instrument to squeeze the larger drops to make them smaller.

The research interest is “Preparation and Characterization of Oil-in-Water and Water-in-Oil Emulsions”. Thus, I would like to talk about what is emulsion, what are the main characteristics of emulsions, what are the existing methods for preparations of emulsions and how to make simple emulsions. 1.2 Background of This Report Emulsion is a kind of mixture comprised of two or more liquids, which usually are immiscible, and surfactant. The common types of emulsions are oil-in-water emulsion and water-in-oil emulsion. According to Aronson (1988), the emulsions have important industrial value in the wide range of field and it has been studied extensively recently. The emulsions play an important role in the industrial production and it has been applied to many fields including food industry, cosmetics industry and pharmaceutical industry. In the food industry, emulsifier can function as dough conditioners in order to improve tolerance to variations in flour and other ingredient quality. In the cosmetic industry, the majority of facial creams and lotions are emulsions. 1.3 Scope of This Report 3 This report is going to cover the following contents. Introduction of emulsions. Effect of surfactant. Common materials for preparation of emulsions.

Sonochemical methods allow the production of low-defect graphene materials, which are preferred for certain uses. Graphene nanosheets (GNS) have been prepared by exfoliation of a commercial micrographite (MG) using an ultrasound probe. Both materials were characterized by common techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electronic Microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). All of them revealed the formation of exfoliated graphene nanosheets with similar surface characteristics to the pristine graphite but with a decreased crystallite size and number of layers.

  • Grade 6 Science Mechanical Mixtures Suspensions
    Grade 6 Science Week of November 16 – November 20 Heterogeneous Mixtures Mechanical Mixtures Mechanical mixtures have two or more particle types that are not mixed evenly and can be seen as different kinds of matter in the mixture. Obvious examples of mechanical mixtures are chocolate chip cookies, granola and pepperoni pizza. Less obvious examples might be beach sand (various minerals, shells, bacteria, plankton, seaweed and much more) or concrete (sand gravel, cement, water). Mechanical mixtures are all around you all the time. Can you identify any more right now? Suspensions Suspensions are mixtures that have solid or liquid particles scattered around in a liquid or gas. Common examples of suspensions are raw milk, salad dressing, fresh squeezed orange juice and muddy water. If left undisturbed the solids or liquids that are in the suspension may settle out and form layers. You may have seen this layering in salad dressing that you need to shake up before using them. After a rain fall the more dense particles in a mud puddle may settle to the bottom. Milk that is fresh from the cow will naturally separate with the cream rising to the top. Homogenization breaks up the fat molecules of the cream into particles small enough to stay suspended and this stable mixture is now a colloid. We will look at colloids next. Solution, Suspension, and Colloid: https://youtu.be/XEAiLm2zuvc Colloids Colloids: https://youtu.be/MPortFIqgbo Colloids are two phase mixtures. Having two phases means colloids have particles of a solid, liquid or gas dispersed in a continuous phase of another solid, liquid, or gas.
