Catalytic Combustion of Model Carbon Particles (CPs) over Pt/β-SiC Catalyst

Platinum catalyst supported on a medium surface area -SiC was successfully used for the catalytic combustion of model carbon particles and compared to a catalyst supported on a low surface area -SiC. The -SiC-based catalyst showed no deactivation as a function of cycling tests while a strong deactivation was observed on the -SiC-based catalyst. This deactivation was attributed to the progressive encapsulation of the platinum particles by a layer of silica which built up during the combustion cycle. These results render possible the use of Pt/-SiC catalyst as a diesel carbon particle catalytic filter with continuous regeneration.     

An Application of Silica‐Based Monolithic Membrane Emulsification Technique for Easy and Efficient Preparation of Uniformly Sized Polymer Particles

Summary: Uniformly sized polymer particles were prepared by an emulsification and polymerization technique utilizing a silica monolithic membrane, namely the “silica monolithic membrane emulsification technique”. In this paper, we utilized silica monolithic membrane as a device for the preparation of uniformly sized polymer particles. A mixture of monomers, diluents and oil‐soluble initiator was emulsified into a continuous medium through the silica monolithic membrane and polymerized. The particles obtained had a higher size uniformity than that of particles prepared by previously reported membrane emulsification techniques, such as the Shirasu Porous Glass (SPG) emulsification technique. Through the silica monolithic membrane emulsification technique, we could prepare particles having availability as a possible packing material for solid‐phase extraction (SPE) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Diffusion of ellipsoidal granular particles in shear flow

The diffusion of nonspherical particles has not been well understood due to the complexity of their contact mechanics and self-organization of their orientations. We perform discrete element method simulations of monodisperse ellipsoids in a shear flow with Lees-Edwards boundary conditions to quantify the relation between the diffusion coefficient and the flow parameters. The results indicate that the particle aspect ratio strongly affects the diffusion coefficient by influencing the particle orientation and alignment. We develop a scaling law for the diffusion coefficient perpendicular to the flow direction, D_yy, which combines the influences of the shear rate , the solids fraction f, the effective particle diameter d_eff and the particle aspect ratio Z. We show that , where k_d is a dimensionless pre-factor, and a fit is obtained for the functional form of χ(f, Z). This scaling law will be useful in developing continuum transport models for applications.

Semi-continuous emulsion copolymerization of butyl methacrylate with polymerizable anionic surfactants

Two polymerizable anionic surfactants sodium 4-(ω-acryloyloxyalkyl)oxy benzene sulfonate (SABS-n, n=8 or 10) have been successfully used in the semi-continuous emulsion copolymerization with butyl methacrylate (BMA). After generating seeding particles in an emulsion consisting SABS-8 or SABS-10 and small amount of BMA using a redox initiator ammonium persulfate (APS)/tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) at room temperature, most of BMA was added drop-wise to the polymerizing emulsion system during a period of 4-8 h. These emulsion copolymerizations produced nanosized latexes with high polymer/surfactant weight ratios up to about 12/1 and nearly monodisperse particles ranging from 18 to 33 nm in diameter. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that SABS-n was significantly enriched on the surface of latex particles. The effects of concentrations of SABS-n, BMA, and APS/TMEDA and the latex characteristics during the continuous addition of monomer were studied. A possible polymerization mechanism was proposed.
