Effect of surface free energy on the adhesion of biofouling and crystalline fouling

Pipelines and heat exchangers using seawater as coolant suffer from biofouling. Biofouling not only reduces heat transfer performance significantly, but also causes considerable pressure drop, calling for higher pumping requirements. It would be much more desirable if surfaces with an inherently lower stickability for biofouling could be developed. In this paper, a cost-effective autocatalytic graded Ni-Cu-P-PTFE composite coating with corrosion-resistant properties was applied to reduce biofouling formation. The experimental results showed that the surface free energy of the Ni-Cu-P-PTFE coatings, which were altered by changing the PTFE content in the coatings, had a significant influence on the adhesion of microbial and mineral deposits. The Ni-Cu-P-PTFE coatings with defined surface free energy reduced the adhesion of these deposits significantly. The anti-bacterial mechanism of the composite coatings was explained with the extended DLVO theory.     

Simultaneous recovery of copper and surfactant by an electrolytic process from synthetic solution prepared to simulate a concentrate waste stream of a micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration process

Electroplating method was employed to recover copper and surfactant simultaneously from synthetic solutions prepared to simulate concentrated waste stream generated from micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration. Effects of surfactant and copper (II) concentrations, surfactant to copper (II) molar ratio (S/M), electroplating voltage and time, solution pH, and ionic strength on metal recovery and electrical current efficiency were investigated. Results show that at a fixed S/M ratio of 5, the first-order kinetic constant for Cu (II) removal by electroplating increases with decreasing SDS concentration. At fixed SDS concentration of 8.5 mM, increasing initial Cu (II) concentration increases both Cu (II) recovery and current efficiency. Electrolyte pH has profound effects on the metal recovery and current efficiency due to the difference in solution conductivity after pH adjustment and the extent of Cu (II) adsorption onto SDS at different pHs.     

Effect of preparation conditions on the properties of a coal-derived activated carbon honeycomb monolith

Activated carbon honeycomb (ACH) monoliths were prepared by extruding of a mixture of bituminous coal and organic additives and subsequent carbonization and steam activation. Preparation parameters that were varied were carbonization temperature and activation time. The carbonization conditions were 500, 650 and 800 °C for 1 h and the steam activation conditions were 850 °C for 2, 4 and 6 h. The monoliths at various states were characterized by SEM, XRD, nitrogen adsorption and compression test. It was found that carbonization temperature has significant effects on pore size distribution and mechanical strength of ACH monoliths. The ACH monoliths prepared from high carbonization temperatures exhibited lower values of the BET surface area and total pore volume and higher value of the mechanical strength than those of the ACH monoliths prepared from low carbonization temperatures. This was attributed to the effect of high temperature carbonization that results in the formation of relatively less defective structures.     

A rheological model for iron oxide suspensions

We have examined the rheological properties of a Co-adsorbed γ-Fe₂O₃ magnetic suspension with polyurethane (PU) as a binder and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or cyclohexanone (CH) as a solvent. A Haake RV20 viscometer was used to measure the suspension viscosity and the vane method was adopted to determine the fluid yield stress. A rheological model which can be viewed as a combination of the Casson model and the Bingham model is proposed to describe the suspension viscosity. The effects of temperature, particle content, and binder concentration are included in the model.

A helical drive in-pipe robot based on compound planetary gearing

The modern society is fuelled by very comprehensive grids of gas and liquid pipelines. In recent years, various in-pipe robots have been developed for inspection and maintenance tasks inside such pipes. In this paper, a novel in-pipe robot is proposed and developed for gas/oil well interventions at thousands of meters downhole. Due to the nature of such intervention, in-pipe robot design must be capable of carrying a very large payload, as large as 2500?N inside a pipe with diameter as small as 54?mm. The proposed design concept is based on a compound planetary gearing system. One of the major novelties of this design is the use of pipe wall as a ring gear for one stage of the compound planetary gear system; the other novelty is the generation of helical angle when the planetary gears are expanded to press on the pipe wall. The proposed concept is compact, efficient, and has never been reported before. In this paper, the helical angle, the velocity, and load capability of the proposed system will be analyzed. The load transportation capability of the proposed robot is also measured based on an experiment. Initial data have shown great potential in carrying large payloads.
