Optimizing the desired properties for stretch monolayer separators used in Lithium-ion batteries has been a challenge. In the present study a cellulose nanofiber/PET nonwoven composite separator is successfully fabricated, using a wet-laid nonwoven (papermaking) process, which can attain optimal properties in wettability, mechanical strength, thermal resistance, and electrochemical performance ...

cement powder size classification efficiency significantly affects quality of final product and extent of energy consumption in clinker grinding circuits. static and dynamic or high efficiency air separators are being used widely in closed circuit with multi-compartment tube ball mills, high pressure grinding rolls (hpgr) and more recently vertical roller mills (vrm) units in cement plants to c...

the performance of the electric submersible pump (esp) significantly affected by gas void fraction (gvf). thus, using of a rotary gas separator (rgs) is a suitable solution for this issue. the performance of the rgs is function of different parameters such as geometry of impeller, rotating speed, boundary conditions, media viscosity and gvf. in this study, the influences of gvf, viscosity, and ...

In this research, inorganic material type and content influence on coating of commercially available polypropylene (PP) separator were studied for improving its performance and safety as lithium ion battery separator. Heat-resistant nanopowders of Al2O3, SiO2 and ZrO2 were coated using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder. Coating effects on the separators morphology, wettability, high tempera...

Pollution reduction in the Conasauga River is a high priority for Georgia due to the remaining biological diversity of the Conasauga. Home to 76 native species of fish, more than the Columbia and Colorado Rivers combined, the Conasauga serves residential, agricultural, and carpet industry needs in and around Dalton. Segments of the river are impaired due to sediment, nutrients, and fecal colifo...

This paper presents a novel microfluidic chip that exploits magnetic manipulation for integrated capture and separation of microparticles in continuous flow. The chip integrates an active-mixing enhanced incubator and a magnetic fractionation-based separator. In the incubator, surface-functionalized magnetic beads are used to capture target particles by specific binding, which is promoted by ac...

Physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) is the fraction of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) that stimulates chewing activity and contributes to the floating mat of large particles in the rumen. Multiplying dietary NDF by particle size has been used as an estimate of peNDF. In re-evaluating the concept of peNDF, we compared the use of peNDF as dietary NDF × particle size with the use o...

The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy content total mixed rations (TMR) offered high-producing cows from 20 dairy herds Castro, Paraná State, Brazil. average milk yield during sample collection period 38.0±6.8 kg/day, with 3.47±0.25% fat and 3.05±0.18% protein. particle size distribution samples fresh diet leftovers evaluated using Penn State Particle Separator (PSPS) chemical ...

A sustainable, heat-resistant and flame-retardant cellulose-based composite nonwoven has been successfully fabricated and explored its potential application for promising separator of high-performance lithium ion battery. It was demonstrated that this flame-retardant cellulose-based composite separator possessed good flame retardancy, superior heat tolerance and proper mechanical strength. As c...
