In this work, four types of comb-like dispersants and one linear dispersant were synthesized to explore the effect of dispersant structure on the bubble structure in water solution and mortar system for the first time. Dispersants were modified with different adsorption groups (i.e., carboxylic acid , phosphate ester, and sulfonic groups). Polymer structures were identified using gel permeation chromatography and infrared spectroscopy . Surface tension test indicated that the comb-like dispersants exhibited lower surface tension than that of the linear dispersants (NSF-2), thereby demonstrating that the polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) solutions possessed high surface activity. The analysis of the foamability and foam stability of the comb-like and linear dispersants were comprehensively investigated at different concentrations. Comb-like dispersants possessed higher foam height and better foamability performance than those of the linear dispersants. The bubbles of the dispersant PCE-3 were smaller in terms of the mean area and possessed higher number of bubbles than those of the other dispersants, which may be essential in reducing the viscosity of the slurry. A similar result was also obtained in the mortar system tested using the AVA instrument for PCE-3 and NSF-2. Adsorption and rheological behavior test indicated that comb-like dispersant PCE-3 is the most effective in reducing the viscosity of the slurry among all the dispersants tested. This result is consistent with that of the foamability experiment.

An aqueous dispersion of carbon black is crucial in industrial coatings. In this manuscript, a hyperdispersant IBOMA-MPEGA-DMAM (IMD) has been synthesized using isobornyl methacrylate (IBOMA), polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether acrylate (MPEGA), and N, N -dimethyl acrylamide (DMAM) as monomers via a free radical polymerization method, which is used to improve the dispersibility of an aqueous dispersion system of carbon black. The molecular structure and performance stability of IMD were investigated through comprehensive characterizations of FTIR, GPC, particle size distribution and TEM. When the molar ratio of the monomers IBOMA:MEPGA:DMAM is 5.5:8.3:9.7, the obtained hyperdispersant shows good dispersibility. When the optimal dosage of dispersant IMD was 8%, the viscosity of carbon black slurry was as low as 18.6 mPa·s and the average particle size of carbon black was 275 nm. Furthermore, the stability of the prepared carbon black slurry was better than that of the two commercial dispersants.

To address the challenges associated with the agglomeration and encapsulation of chalcopyrite by molybdenite in flotation slurries, which hinder the effective separation of copper and molybdenum, this study investigated the effects of various dispersants on the dispersion behavior of chalcopyrite and molybdenite, along with the underlying mechanisms. Optical microscopy, focused beam reflectance measurements (FBRM), infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential analysis, and other analytical techniques were employed. The results revealed that the dispersion behaviors of chalcopyrite and molybdenite align with the EDLVO theoretical model. At a slurry pH of 12, the dispersant effectively dispersed molybdenite and minimized its agglomeration around chalcopyrite. The dispersive capabilities of the tested dispersants followed the order: sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ) > sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP, (NaPO 3 ) 6 ) > sodium silicate (Na 2 O·nSiO 2 ) > ammonium bicarbonate (NH 4 HCO 3 ). Specifically, carbonate ions produced by the hydrolysis of Na2CO3 were chemically adsorbed onto the molybdenite surface, while hexametaphosphate primarily adhered through physical adsorption. This adsorption enhanced the dispersion of molybdenite particles by increasing electrostatic repulsion between them. Mixed ore flotation experiments demonstrated that both Na 2 CO 3 and SHMP significantly reduced the copper grade in the molybdenum concentrate, from 3.95% to 2.69% and 2.67%, respectively.

Different dispersants were added in the dispersion process to improve the efficiency of fluorite flotation. The types and dosage of dispersant on the improvement of fluorite flotation were investigated; when the sodium polyacrylate (SPA) was used as the dispersant and its addition is 0.5%, the concentrate grade of CaF2 increased from 90% to 98% and the fluorite recovery increased from 81% to 85%. Methods of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) were used to characterize the sample. According to the analysis of results, the optimal sample consisted of CaF2 and very little CaCO3 in the size range of 0–5 μm. It could be concluded that the mechanism of improvement for the concentrate grade and recovery of CaF2 was attributed to the change of potential energy barrier which caused the separation of particles with different charge. All results indicate that SPA has a great potential to be an efficient and cost-effective dispersant for the improvement of fluorite flotation.

Lignin-based dye dispersants (LDD), as one of the most common lignin resource end-application product, is difficult to meet the rapidly developing needs of modern fiber dyeing due to their inherent structural defects. The efficient upgrading and modification of LDD is of great significance to the value-added application of lignin resources and the expansion of LDD sinking market. In this study, using industrial kraft lignin as raw material, cashew phenol was introduced into lignosulfonate in the form of C C bonds by ingenious utilizing the structural characteristics of lignin disordered condensation. Aromatic ring in cashew phenol could provide sufficient sulfonic acid group grafting sites, while C 15 fatty chain could enhance steric hindrance effect. In the dispersibility test, the dispersing power showed 99.09 %, and the low/high temperature dispersion (LTD/HTD) were 5 s/4 and 6 s/4, respectively, higher than the dispersibility level of LDD in the market, has great commercial value and industrial potential. Combined with FTIR, 1 H NMR, GPC and ICP, the structural properties of lignin were analyzed in detail, and the degree of sulfonation-condensation was balanced-optimized. The C C bond condensation process between cashew phenol and lignin was revealed, and the mechanism of action on dye particles was elucidated.

The durability of cementitious materials is significant concerning long-term performance. Nanomaterials are promising candidates for deep refinement of cement durability. Hydrophobic calcium carbonate is a widely applied and easily accessible nanomaterial. However, its hydrophobicity and poor dispersity in water prohibit its direct application in cementitious materials. In this study, hydrophobic calcium carbonate nanoparticles (HbCC) were modified using a novel amphiphilic comb-shaped dispersant that is capable of laurinol release. The modification was conducted to improve the dispersity of HbCC and their compatibility with hydration products. The dispersion-improved calcium carbonate particles (AmphCC) were characterized and tested for cement durability improvement performance. According to the results, the AmphCC particles showed a pronounced effect on improving permeation resistance of cement mortars, with water absorption and chloride penetration considerably lowered. Moreover, the introduction of AmphCC in cement did not show significant adverse effects on strength development. Compared with AmphCC, a single addition of the unmodified HbCC and the dispersant cannot achieve equivalent effects. The superior effect of AmphCC is due to the synergistic effect of good particle dispersion and controlled release of the hydrophobic molecules, which is achieved by dispersion of HbCC with binding of the dispersant.Keywords:cement;durability;nano calcium carbonate;amphiphilic dispersant

Tetragonal BaTiO 3 (BT) powder with appropriate size and dispersity is essential for the dielectric layers in multilayer ceramic capacitor technology. In this work, high tetragonality BT powder with controllable dispersion, and particle size was synthesized using combined dispersants and a two-step hydrothermal method . Owing to the synergistic effect of chemical bond force and electrostatic adsorption force between cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP) composite dispersants at a high temperature, the ultrafine BT powder with a high c/a of 1.0090, small size of 236 ± 15 nm and low polydispersity index of 0.336 was achieved. This idea shows great significance for the synthesis of BT powder with high tetragonal, high dispersion, and small particle sizes.

Single-phase nano-crystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) powder was prepared by co-precipitation method using zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl2 · 8H2O) and yttrium nitrate (Y(NO3)3 · 6H2O) as raw materials and ammonium
bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) and liquor ammonia (NH4OH) as the precipitators. In order to get the powder with favorable dispersibility, polyethylene glycol (PEG, HO(CH2CH2O)
n
H) with different molecular weights and amounts was
used as a dispersant agent in the synthesis process and its effects on the YSZ powder was investigated. The scanning electron micrograph (SEM) images showed that the degree of agglomeration and the mean crystal size of YSZ powder varied with the amount and the molecular weight of PEG. The
appropriate amount and molecular weight of PEG were given by comparing the dispersibility and crystal size distribution of powders. In the process, one also could find that the promotion of dispersion was insensitive to the molecular weight, and all PEG (400–2000) can exert an ability
to reduce the agglomeration. The proper amount of PEG400, PEG600, PEG1000, PEG2000 was 3 wt%, 3 wt%, 2 wt%, 2 wt%, respectively. The transmission electric microscope studies in conjunction with the XRD analyzes verified the low degree of agglomeration and the size of YSZ powder varied between
10~20 nm.

Large-scale production of high-quality graphene is very critical for practical applications of graphene materials and devices. Exfoliation of graphite in an aqueous solution of surfactants is one of the most promising approaches to produce graphene. In this study, a novel anionic surfactant [sulfonated used engine oil (SUEO)], which was prepared from used engine oil, was employed to exfoliate the graphite nanoplatelets into graphene sheets in an aqueous solution under sonication to form a stable dispersion. The efficiency of SUEO for exfoliating and dispersing graphene was investigated and compared with that of traditional surfactants, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfate, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Result showed that the graphene dispersion with excellent stability had a higher concentration (0.477 mg/mL) than others at 0.5 g/L optimal SUEO dosage in 4 h sonication time. The superior performance of SUEO can be attributed to its special molecular structures, whose hydrophobic moieties contain cycloalkanes/aromatics with different molecular weights and/or side chain –R with different lengths. Structural diversities are very helpful to the “jigsaw-puzzle” process on the graphene surface, where the total interfacial energy of the mixture system was minimized. Microscopic (SEM, TEM, and AFM) and spectroscopic (XRD, XPS, and Raman) measurements revealed that the dispersion consisted of few-layer graphene sheets with lower levels of defects or oxidation. This study presents a new class of dispersing agents for graphene that assists in the exfoliation process in water with high concentration and the stabilization of the graphene sheets against reaggregation.

With pyrolytic bio-oil as raw material, an efficient bio-oil-based dispersant (BOBD) applied to coal water slurry (CWS) has been synthesized successfully by grafting polymerization of the organic fractions from the bio-oil and acrylic acid (AA) in the mild condition. As a comparison, two commercial dispersants, namely poly (styrene sulfonic acid) sodium (PSS) and sodium lignosulfonate (SL) were employed. The structures and properties of the synthesized BOBD were characterized by using FTIR, 1 H NMR, GC/MS, GPC, zeta potential, contact angle, and surface tension. The results showed the molecular weight of the BOBD was concentrated at 832 g/mol and 1954 g/mol. The surface tension and contact angle of BOBD aqueous solution were 47.71 mN/m −1 and 60.8° respectively. The zeta potential of the suspension prepared from BOBD-water-coal was −67.1 mV. Using BOBD as a dispersant, the apparent viscosity of CWS loading 66 wt% coal dropped to 288 mPa·s at 0.3 wt% BOBD, and the maximum coal content reached 72 wt%. BOBD exhibited better viscosity reduction and stability enhancement capabilities than PSS and SL. The excellent dispersion performance of BOBD was due to the large electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance derived from the grafted acrylic polymer, which effectively dispersed the coal particles uniformly. The rheological behavior of CWS with BOBD belonged to pseudoplastic fluid. The synthesized BOBD not only had an excellent dispersion performance but also could overcome the shortcomings of secondary pollution caused by PSS and SL containing element sulfur as dispersants in combustion. In addition, the synthetic route possessed simple, environmentally friendly and sustainable characteristics. The research opened up a new way for the utilization of bio-oil.

The hydrophilic surface and developed pore structure restricted the application of abundant low rank coals (LRC) for the preparation of coal water slurry (CWS) with high concentration. In this work, emulsified asphalt was applied as an effective and low cost modifier to modify coal surface and improve the slurry making performance of LRC. The successful modification was verified by various technologies, such as chemical titration, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Zeta potential measurements. The results revealed that the oxygen containing groups located at LRC surface were covered by emulsified asphalt, which further caused the decrease of Zeta potential. The influence of modification on wettability of coal was also evaluated by contact angle and moisture re-adsorption. It showed that the hydrophobicity of LRC significantly increased, which is accompanied with the reduction of inherent moisture. Besides, the results of nitrogen adsorption and scanning electron microscope (SEM) verified that the hydrophobic layer formed by emulsified asphalt blocked the pores of LRC. The modified LRC also exhibited better adsorption ability to the widely used anionic dispersant naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate (NSF) than that of raw coal (RC) and microwave dehydration coal (MDC). Anyhow, modified LRC possessed the characteristics as high rank coal. Afterwards, modified coal was applied to prepare CWS. The results showed that CWS prepared by modified LRC exhibited superior slurry making performance as compared to RC and MDC. The surface modification reduced the inherent moisture and promoted the adsorption of dispersant, which increased the free water amount and enhanced electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance among coal particles. Accordingly, the maximum concentration for CWS increased, and the static stability enhanced.

This study explores a new approach to achieve a whitening effect on polyester fabric by utilizing a ground form of raw OB-1 (OB-1-G) in combination with dispersing agents. The whitening process parameters, such as whitening temperature, OB-1-G mass, and whitening time were optimized using the L 16 orthogonal array-based Taguchi methodology. The signal-to-noise ratio was carried out through a larger-is-better approach to augment the parameter responses, specifically the whiteness. The results suggest that the degree of whiteness of polyester fabric is significantly affected by the whitening treatment temperature (P < 0.05), with a contribution percentage of 93.87%. A whiteness index of 94.12 was achieved for the polyester fabric treated at the optimized conditions. The fabric treated with OB-1-G at the optimized conditions was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The investigation also included the correlation between the length of time spent in washing and rubbing, and their efficacy in achieving whitening outcomes. The research demonstrated the effectiveness of OB-1-G nanopowder in combination with dispersing agents as a fluorescent optical brightener for the optical brightening of polyester fiber with potential use in the textile industry on a larger scale.
