Removal of Organic Films From Rotating Disks Using Aqueous Solutions of Nonionic Surfactants: Effect of Surfactant Molecular Structure

“…In the rotating disk system, Beaudoin et al (9) and Kabin et al (11) observed that the cleaning process consisted of three successive stages. A typical cleaning curve is shown in Fig.…”

Removal of Solid Organic Films from Rotating Disks Using Emulsion Cleaners

“…Additional details on the rotating disk apparatus and its application to cleaning studies are available in previous works (11)(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

“…Based on our prior work using aqueous surfactant solutions for removing organic films (11)(12)(13)(14)(15), it is likely that the linear phenanthrene removal rate may be controlled by any of the following steps:…”

“…The mass transfer coefficient for the limonene drops predicted by the FDM can be calculated from Eqs. [5] and [11],…”

“…Prior work by our group has examined the removal of viscous liquid organic films from solid surfaces using aqueous nonionic surfactant solutions (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Related studies have also focused on interfacial and transport phenomena during cleaning in controlled flow systems (17)(18)(19).…”
