Ozone Contactor Hydrodynamics

Tracer tests were conducted at the 6,000 pounds of ozone per day Tucson, CAP Water Treatment Plant in Tucson, Arizona. The tests were designed to determine T₁₀ values through the contactors at various operating conditions. The tests were modeled using three techniques. Peclet Number was calculated for each of the runs, which would indicate the hydrodynamic conditions inside the ozone contactor. The results indicated that the increase in water flow rate and the number of cells with gas flow increased Peclet Number. The flow rate of liquid seemed to impact the Peclet Number more than gas flow. The headloss in each cell appeared to be important in controlling the distribution of liquid and gas through the cell. A correlation was developed between the product of gas and liquid phase Reynolds Number and Peclet Number.     

A new characteristic of liquid-liquid systems—inversion holdup of intensely agitated dispersions

As the holdup of dispersed phase in an agitated liquid-liquid dispersion is increased at fixed agitation, a point is reached (called inversion holdup) when the dispersion inverts—the dispersed phase becomes continuous and vice versa. In this work, we present experimental data which suggest that the inversion holdup for sufficiently intense turbulence is independent of all the operational parameters associated with a stirred tank, e.g., stirrer speed, vessel volume, impeller size, and impeller type; it depends only on the properties of the liquid-liquid system. The inversion holdup was verified to remain unchanged even for inversion in turbulent flow field in the annular space between two coaxial cylinders. A hypothesis involving drops in near contact with each other at high holdups is used to explain the experimental data. The new finding may also provide a qualitative basis for selecting a liquid-liquid system with desired extent of mixing in the dispersed phase for carrying out transport and reactions in multiphase systems.

Physical properties of poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate)-b-poly(iso-butyl acrylate)-b-poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) triblock copolymers synthesized by controlled radical polymerization

The microphase segregation of different poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate)-b-poly(iso-butyl acrylate)-b-poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate), PCH-b-PiBA-b-PCH, triblock copolymers obtained by atom transfer radical polymerization has been evaluated by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis through location of the two relaxations ascribed to cooperative motions of each block. Additionally, other secondary relaxations have been found, whose characteristics are also dependent on molecular weight of outer and rigid segments. The length of these hard blocks influences significantly the stiffness and microhardness found in these triblock copolymers. These two mechanical parameters increase as molecular weight of poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) does. The morphological aspects have been examined by small angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy.

Conjugated effects of the compatibilization and the dynamic vulcanization on the phase inversion behavior in poly(butylene terephthalate)/epoxide-containing rubber reactive polymer blends

The conjugated effects of both reactive compatibilization and dynamic vulcanization on the phase inversion behavior of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/epoxide-containing rubber blends have been studied in detail. Pure ethylene-methyl acrylate random copolymer (E-MA) and ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate random terpolymer (E-MA-GMA) were used as non reactive or reactive rubber phase, respectively. Location of the phase inversion region was studied using several techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamical mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). To evaluate the relative influence of the blend compatibilization and the dynamic vulcanization on the phase inversion behavior, the relative kinetics of the two reactions were modified using different PBT and E-MA-GMA grades. The obtained results show unambiguously that the position and the width of the phase inversion region is essentially governed by the kinetic of the dynamic vulcanization process. The effect of the blend compatibilization remains quite limited even in the case of fast interfacial reaction. The crosslinking of the rubber phase induces an important shift of the phase inversion composition to higher rubber content. For blends containing low molecular weight PBT, up to 60 wt% of rubber can be homogeneously dispersed in the PBT matrix at long mixing time. In this case, development of high performance PBT based thermoplastic vulcanisates can be envisioned.     

Electrochemical characteristics of phase-separated polymer electrolyte based on poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropane) and ethylene carbonate

A polymer electrolyte based on microporous poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropane) (PVdF-HFP) film was studied for use in lithium ion batteries. The microporous PVdF-HFP (Kynar 2801) matrix was prepared from a cast of homogeneous mixture of PVdF-HFP and solvents such as ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC). After evaporation of DMC and EMC, a sold film of the PVdF-HFP and the EC mixture was obtained. EC-rich phase started its formation in the PVdF-HFP/EC film at EC content of about 60 wt.% based on the total weight of PVdF-HFP and EC. The formation of the new phase resulted in the abrupt increase of the porosity of the PVdF-HFP matrix from 32 to 62%. The ionic conductivity of the film soaked in 1 M LiPF₆-EC/DMC=1/1 was significantly increased from order of 10⁻⁴ S/cm to order of 10⁻³ S/cm at the EC content of 60 wt.%. Thermal and spectroscopic investigations showed that most of the EC interact with PVdF-HFP with the EC content being below 60 wt.%. MCMB/polymer electrolyte/LiCoO₂ cells employing the microporous PVdF-HFP polymer film showed stable charging/discharging characteristics at 1C rate and good rate capability.

动态保压注射成型技术对PA6/EPDM-g-MA 共混物相形态与力学性能的影响

采用动态保压注塑成型技术来控制分散相相形态和橡胶粒子在基体中的取向排列.纯尼龙,动态样与静态样具有相同的冲击强度.在加入橡胶后,动态样与静态样的冲击强度变化趋势基本一致,在橡胶含量为20%t时,体系完成脆韧转变冲击强度达到最大,在橡胶含量为30%和40%时冲击强度又下降.但与静态样相比,当橡胶含量为10%t时,动态样与静态样的冲击强度一致,而当橡胶含量超过10%时,动态样的冲击强度较静态样高.结合平行于熔体流动方向的SEM照片,在橡胶含量为10%时,动态样中的橡胶粒子与静态样一样并未被拉长与取向,而在橡胶含量超过10%时,动态样剪切层中的橡胶粒子被拉长且沿熔体流动方向取向.实验表明,在改善共混物界面相容性的基础上,适当的低剪切应力场能进一步提高橡胶分散相对冲击强度的贡献.
