“…As suggested by Schwarz et al [20], the question remains to what extent ζ potential and adsorption measurements can be applied to characterize stability or instability of dispersions in the presence of polyelectrolytes. As shown in Fig.…”

“…They showed that the structure of a polyelectrolyte LbL assembly is independent of the molecular weight, given that the contour lengths of the polyelectrolyte chains are greater than the thickness of the layer. Also, Schwarz et al found no influence of molecular weight on the adsorption behavior of PDADMAC on colloidal particles [31].…”
“…With the use of other polyelectrolyte reinforcement of the flocculation processes were found and described. [10,11] Elementary analysis of the waste water discharge system did now reveal the presence of the metalorganic compounds or of other substances when the NaEPSS was used as a flocculant. It can be concluded that the presence of the additional substances influences the process of EPS modification but does not effect the flocculation process.…”

Sumary:One of the ways of polymer waste management is its chemical modification. Waste polystyrene foam (EPS) and virgin polystyrene (VPS) as reference material were converted into polymeric flocculants by chemical reactions. One of the most popular and widely used procedures to follow the flocculation kinetics is the monitoring of the turbidity as a function of the polyelectrolyte dosage. The application of the obtained products caused a significant decrease of turbidity of the studied solutions. The products were successfully used as flocculants in the treatment of waste water. A colloid system composed of ferrum(III) hydroxide formed the discharge model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
