AbstractThe removal of formasine fines particles from water by precipitation with polyelectrolyte and surfactant complex of Polyacrylamide (industrial product Praestol 611 made by Degussa) and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) was experimentally studied. Calcium oxide was added to initiate precipitation of the polyelectrolyte complex together with the fines particles. The experiments were carried out with complexes having the surfactants concentration higher then the critical aggregation concentratio...

AbstractThe paper proposes a simple and less expensive gas chromatographic method for analyzing acrylamide in food and reveals comparative results regarding the acrylamide content in commercial and home toasted bread. Validation of the method has been achieved by establishing parameters linearity, limit of detection (LOD = 0.1 mg/L), limit of quantization (LOQ = 0.5 mg/L), precision, stability. Run-to-run precision was determined by carrying out five replicate determinations for three acrylamide...

Abstract:Alkaline protease from Conidiobolus coronatus which is optimally active at pH 10 and 40°C finds application in leather and detergent industries as well as for recovery of silver from waste photographic films. The protease was immobilized in Ca-alginate, polyacrylamide gel and alkali treated waste fungal biomass (ATWFB). ATWFB was found to be most suitable among the matrices tested. Glutaraldehyde marginally increased the binding to ATWFB. Binding of protease to ATWFB seems to be through...

This paper presents the physicochemical and rheological properties of some complex coagulants derived from the weak and medium anionic polymers and medium cationic surfactant in order to evaluate the opportunity to use them in destabilizing and removing the colloidal systems from water and wastewater. In this respect, weak anionic and medium anionic copolymers of acrylamide and sodium acrylate with commercial names of Preastol 2515 and Preastol 2540, and a medium cationic surfactant derived from...

AbstractCosmetics, toiletry and household cleaning products are often based on different types of polymeric gels with specific rheologicalbehavior. Dynamic shear oscillation measurements were used for the monitoring of in situ polymerization process, and todetermine the viscoelastic properties of the hydrogels based on polyacrylamide and acetone-formaldehyde resin. Both storagemodulus G’ and loss modulus G” were measured in real time during the gelation process carried out directly between the p...

AbstractThe performance of some complex coagulants derived from weak and medium anionic polymers and medium cationic surfactantin coagulation-flocculation process for water treatment was experimentally investigated by carrying out kinetic studies and bydetermining the optimum coagulant dose. The complex coagulants were prepared from weak anionic and medium anioniccopolymers of acrylamide and sodium acrylate with the commercial names Praestol 2515 and Praestol 2540, and mediumcationic surfactant ...

Abstract The present research reports the synthesis of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide / mesoporous carbon composites, prepared by radical polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide inside mesoporous carbon pores functionalized with carboxylic groups. The deposition of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide on mesoporous carbon was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, TEM, N2-sorption measurements. The mesoporous carbon material was found to adsorb vitamin B2 from aqueous solution at room temperature. The obtained ...

A new material containing 2-(2′ thiazolylazo) p-cresol (TAC) grafted poly acrylamide (PAA) was prepared and its adsorption ability was studied for the removal of inorganic mercury from aqueous media. Adsorption of Mercury (II) ions from aqueous solution was investigated in detail as a function of mercury concentration, pH, ionic strength, and temperature. The adsorption data were analyzed by using the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR) models. The adsorption of Mercury (...

Three different synthetic textile dyeing wastewaters were treated by a chemical coagulation/flocculation process, using ferric sulphate as coagulant. Polyacrylamide (Magnafloc 155) and polyamine (Superfloc C-573) based flocculants were applied. The influence of pH (between 3.5 and 10.4) and Fe3+ concentration (from 15 to 4000 mg/L) in both color and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal of polyester, cotton and acrylic dyeing wastewaters was assessed in the coagulation stage. As far as floc...
