Using Light Scattering to Screen Polyelectrolytes (PEL) Performance in Flocculation
Flocculation of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) was monitored using light diffraction spectroscopy (LDS). Four cationic polyacrylamides of high molar mass and with different degrees of branching, all copolymers of acrylamide (AM) and acryloyloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (Q9), were tested. LDS supplied information about the kinetic curves for flocs growth and also for the flocs struc...
متن کاملSimulating Elastic Light Scattering Using High Performance Computing Methods
The Coupled Dipole method, as originally formulated by Purcell and Pennypacker, is a very powerful method to simulate the Elastic Light Scattering from arbitrary particles. This method, which is a particle simulation model for Computational Electromagnetics, has one major drawback: if the size of the particles grows, or if scattering from an ensemble of randomly oriented particles has to be sim...
متن کاملUsing terahertz pulses to study light scattering
We describe a new experimental technique for studying the propagation of light in scattering media. We use terahertz time-domain spectroscopy to generate and detect sub-picosecond pulses of far infrared radiation, and employ these pulses in spectroscopic studies of synthetic random media. This technique offers a number of unique advantages in comparison with other experimental methods, includin...
متن کاملLight scattering by cubical particle in the WKB approximation
In this work, we determined the analytical expressions of the form factor of a cubical particle in the WKB approximation. We adapted some variables (size parameter, refractive index, the scattering angle) and found the form factor in the approximation of Rayleigh-Gans-Debye (RGD), Anomalous Diffraction (AD), and determined the efficiency factor of the extinction. Finally, to illustrate our form...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Performance of Dual Polyelectrolyte Systems on the Re-Flocculation Ability of Calcium Carbonate Aggregates in Turbulent Environment
Flocculation can be used in turbulent environments resulting in floc breakage due to shearing. The degree of re-flocculation relates directly to product quality and process efficiency. This study aimed at looking for alternatives to improve the re-flocculation ability of aggregates when polyelectrolytes (PEL) are used as flocculation agents. Moreover, because branched PEL have proved previously...
