Currently, most profile control agents would be degraded in strong alkaline condition. They could not be applied in ASP (alkaline, surfactant and partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide) flooding. To solve this problem, a new kind of alkali-resistant gel for deep profile has been studied. Based on the profile control mechanism of profile agent and the crosslinking mechanism of the polymer, the sele...

introduction: the objective of this study was, wastewater quality investigation and removal efficiency of contaminants from the wastewater tile factory by using  coagulants includes ferric chloride, ferric sulfate and ferrous, aluminum sulfate and poly aluminum chloride in order to reuse it in the processing line. methods: this is an applied study. with regard to shiftwork schedules of the fact...

In this study, nanocellulose is isolated from oil palm empty fruit bunches using ultrafine grinding and ultrasonication. Here, nanocellulose, a reinforcing agent, mixed with polyvinyl alcohol sodium alginate, which act as the matrices. Nanocellulose-based fibers are produced via wet spinning method calcium chloride coagulant solvent. The effects of content on morphological, mechanical, in vitro...

Coagulation –flocculation process remains a very essential part in the water treatment chain. It involves both physical and chemical phenomena and hence susceptible to high percentage of errors due to human factor. In order to reduce this percentage error and obtain optimal treatment efficiency, an intelligent coagulant dosing based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was proposed. Design of the...

Factors affecting the coagulant activity of two different prothrombin complex concentrates have been investigated using a sensitive in vitro assay developed in this laboratory. One concentrate contained substantial amounts of potentially thrombogenic material, while the other, which was deliberately fortified with antithrombin III and heparin during production, was judged to be relatively nonth...

Conventional water treatment consumes large quantities of coagulant and produces even greater volumes of sludge. Coagulant recovery (CR) presents an opportunity to reduce both the sludge quantities and the costs they incur, by regenerating and purifying coagulant before reuse. Recovery and purification must satisfy stringent potable regulations for harmful contaminants, while remaining competit...

The natural coagulant Moringa oleifera (MO) is considered to be an efficient coagulant with some advantages over chemical coagulants. Fluoride removal, using MO seed extract was investigated. The influence of MO dosage, initial F concentration, and pH were determined and modeled using the Box-Behnken design response surface methodology. With a constant initial F concentration, it was found that...

The traditional coagulant assay for plasma factor XI suffers from a relatively high coefficient of variation, the need for rare congenitally deficient plasma, and a poor correlation between precision and sensitivity. We have developed a simple functional amidolytic assay for factor XI in plasma using the chromogenic substrate PyrGlu-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide (S-2366). After inactivation of alpha 1...

The removal of cadmium and turbidity from contaminated soil-washing water was studied by Electroflotation (EF) at the laboratory scale by using sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) as an anionic surfactant, and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) as a coagulant. The stoichiometric cadmium to collector (SLS) and coagulant (Ca(OH)2) ratio was 1:4.5. Significant removal of cadmium (100 %, not detected in the resid...

Optimal amounts of demineralized bone matrix possess the ability to coagulate platelet-free heparinized, citrated, and oxalated blood plasmas of guinea pigs. Clotting constituents become denatured in contact with the insoluble coagulant proteins. Quantities in excess of optimal modify plasma so that it does not gel when thrombin is added. The newly described coagulant effects are not restricted...
