Properties of paper coated with kaolin: The influence of the rheological modifier

The first part of this paper analyses the influence of the molecular weight and concentration of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and of kaolin concentration on rheology of the coating colours and on paper properties coated with ultra lightweight coatings (ULWC). In the second part, relationships between the rheological characteristics of the coating colour formulations and coated paper surface quality was also studied.New indexes on paper roughness at micro-scale are presented (RZI and SRI). In general, they show good correlation with sheet gloss. A new gloss index (SGI) is presented, accounting for the contribution of gloss from machine direction (MD) and cross direction (CD). Porosimetry was used to access microstructural characteristics in order to correlate them with light scattering and gloss properties. The former property is closely related to Hg intrusion volume of the coated layer while gloss is related to surface porosity with pore diameters in the range of 7–15 μm as measured by Hg intrusion volume.

煅烧高岭土吸附Pb^2＋／SDBS／PNP三元共存污染物的研究

对比Pb^2＋,SDBS,PNP单元和三元复合后在煅烧高岭土上的吸附,探讨了在不同投加量、吸附时间、pH值下三元共存在煅烧高岭土上的吸附影响．结果表明：Pb2＋单元去除率为94．71％,三元复合后为85．50％;SDBS单元去除率为75．36％,三元复合去除率为84．04％;PNP单元去除率和三元复合去除率分别为64．24％,55．57％．表明三元复合对Pb2＋和SDBS的去除产生拮抗效应,而三元复合对PNP起到增强吸附的作用．由IR红外分析可知煅烧高岭土吸附三元复合污染物并没有引起结构的改变,吸附过程为物理吸附．     

油页岩综合利用途径探讨

某煤矿含有大量的油页岩,属煤系高岭岩系列.根据油页岩的鉴定结果和实验室初步试验研究,认为可以利用该油页岩干馏脱水后生成的偏高岭石,作为生产高强混凝土的添加剂;也可以经过脱除显色物质后,制取高附加值的优质高岭土产品或深加工生产高质量的白炭黑及铝盐等产品.综合利用油页岩资源,是该煤矿可持续发展必须解决的重要问题.     

改性水玻璃在含高岭土复杂萤石浮选中的综合应用

河北某萤石矿中萤石与石英嵌布粒度细,共生关系复杂并含有高岭土,品位低、氧化程度高。生产中采用常规的高碱度水玻璃进行石英抑制,生产技术指标较差,严重影响企业的生存与发展。由于浮选尾矿碱度高,水玻璃等分散剂SS含量高达5 000～7 000 mg/L,回用时又会导致生产指标的恶化。针对上述问题,试验采用两段磨矿,中矿集中返回再磨的流程,精矿浮选流程中抑制剂改用改性水玻璃,有效抑制了细粒石英、长石等细粒脉石矿物。同时,在改性水玻璃的综合作用下,实现了尾矿水SS的快速沉淀,尾矿水可有效返回利用,不会对选矿指标造成影响,最终获得了CaF₂品位为97.27%、SiO₂含量为1.5%、CaF₂回收率为77.68%的萤石精矿产品,提高了精矿质量,为该选厂的实际生产提供了技术支持。     

Ovicidal,larvicidal and insecticidal activity of strains of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin against the cigarette beetle,Lasioderma serricorne Fabricius (Coleoptera: Anobiidae), on rice grain

Seven strains of Beauveria bassiana were evaluated for their effects on the eggs of Lasioderma serricorne under laboratory conditions. Strains were applied at a single dose of 0.03 g conidia kg⁻¹ of grain = 2 × 10⁹ conidia g⁻¹ of kaolin kg⁻¹ of grain. All strains were pathogenic on the eggs of L. serricorne. Two strains, MS-8, and 7284, caused the highest levels of egg mortality. These two strains were then formulated at a fixed dose of 0.03 g conidia, with kaolin as an active carrier, at doses of 0.0, 0.5 g, 1 g, 2 g and 3 g of kaolin kg⁻¹ of grain. These powder formulations were evaluated for their effects on adult mortality, larval mortality, number of adults emerged, level of grain damaged and level of weight loss on rice grains. The highest levels of adult mortality and larval mortality were caused by Strain MS-8 at a kaolin dose of 3 g kg⁻¹. It also caused the lowest levels of adult emerged (10%), grain damaged (1.07%) and weight loss (0.55%). When unformulated, the same dose of conidia performed poorly for the same parameters (64%; 20.2%; 3.37%). The highest levels of grain damaged (27%) and weight loss (6.04%) were observed in the untreated control (UTC). Observations made with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that unformulated conidia clumped together whereas conidia formulated in kaolin remained as discrete conidia.     

Biodiesel production by esterification of oleic acid over zeolite Y prepared from kaolin

Zeolite Y, with a Si/Al ratio 3.1, was prepared using Iraqi kaolin and tested as a catalyst in the liquid-phase esterification of oleic acid (a simulated free fatty acid frequently used as a model reaction for biodiesel production). XRD confirmed the presence of the characteristic faujasite structure of zeolite Y, and further analysis was conducted using BET adsorption, FTIR spectroscopy, XRF, DLS particle size and SEM. A range of experimental conditions were employed to study the reaction; alcohol/oleic acid molar ratio, temperature, and catalyst mass loading. The optimum conditions for the reaction were observed at 70 °C, 5 wt% catalyst loading and 6:1 ethanol to oleic acid molar ratio. The oleic acid conversion using the zeolite prepared from kaolin was 85% after 60 min, while the corresponding value for a commercial sample of HY zeolite was 76%. Our findings show that low Si/Al ratio zeolite Y is a suitable catalyst for esterification, which is in contrast to the widespread view of the unsuitability of zeolites, in general, for such applications.
