coagulants, but also the stabilization of the suspension; it is the most important variable in the coagulation process for water treatment. A suitable pH will help to neutralize the negative charge of colloidal particles and to form linkages between colloid particles, thus effectively helping with floc formation and reaching the expected settlement.( Nasir et.al) In this experiments were performed to assess COD, TSS and Colour removal as well as coagulation-flocculation at various pH values. The optimum

Water treatment is a process essential to our infrastructure and the reusability of water, and electrostatics is at the heart of the interaction necessary for the operation to proceed. The general treatment process is comprised of about 6 steps: pre-treatment, coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection. Each one serves a specific purpose to the overall clarification of the raw water, but coagulation and flocculation are the most broad in the removal of contaminants in

HYDROCOLLOIDS IN FOOD UTHRA PREMNATH COMPARISON BETWWEN GELATIN AND OTHER HYDROCOLLOIDS All hydrocolloids are polysaccharides except gelatin, a protein. When compared with gelatine, carrageen forms a brittle, elastic gel. Pectin gels cannot produce elastic properties at all. Alginates gives clear, elastic gels, but the melting point is too high. Except gelatine all other hydrocolloids form products with reduced flavour profile. Starches create unpleasant texture. Gelatine is much cost effective

“a colloidal dispersion of two liquids, usually oil and water, that are immiscible.” (Murano 2003). To better understand what this definition is stating, a colloidal dispersion must also be defined. A colloidal dispersion is a dispersion of food colloids, a dispersed phase, into a continuous phase such as water or oil. Keep in mind, however, that a colloidal dispersion is not a solution, and the two liquids are

the property of the gel 26 . STRUCTURE OF GELS: The nature of the particles and the type of force that is responsible for the linkages, which determines the structure of the network and the properties of gel. The individual particles of hydrophilic colloid may consist of either spherical or an isometric aggregates of small molecules, or single macromolecules. Possible arrangements of such particles in a gel network are shown in (fig.2). In linear macromolecules the network is comprised of entangled

ii) a servo control system maintaining a constant distance between the electrodes, iii) a power supply system that controls the DC arc-discharge parameters, iv) a glass container with an electrode holder and deionized water for collection of silver colloids, v) a stirring system with magnetic stirrer and stirring

flocculation are employed to separate suspended solids from water. Although the terms coagulation and flocculation are often used the single term "flocculation" is used to describe both; they are, in fact, two distinct processes. Finely dispersed solids (colloids) suspended in wastewaters are stabilized by negative electric charges on their surfaces, causing them to repel each other. Since this prevents these charged particles from colliding to form larger masses, called flocks, they do not settle. For removal

Colloid and Hypertonic Saline Due to the high morbidity associated with high-volume resuscitations, an interest exists in using various colloid solutions to both decrease edema and volume requirements and blunt the myocardial depression phenomena observed with large burns. An important consideration for adding colloid in the first 24 hours is the loss of capillary integrity during early burn shock. This process occurs early and is present for 8-24 hours depending on which authority is referenced

Solutions, colloids, and suspensions are all types of mixtures. Suspensions and colloids are classified as heterogeneous mixtures and solutions are classified as the homogeneous mixture. Solutions are single atoms that never settle and are transparent which also means clear. Colloids are aggregates of atoms, molecules, or ions, they can settle and they are transparent with a Tyndall effect. Suspensions are clumps of particles such as sand and their movement is by gravity with the translucent effect

Hybrid Gadolinium Oxide Nanoparticles as Contrast Agents for CT Imaging Name: Xinyi Li Number: 250825492 Supervisor: Prof Elizabeth Gillies 1. Introduction X-ray computed tomography (x-ray CT) is a technology that uses computer-processed x-rays to produce tomographic images of specific areas of the scanned object, allowing the user to see inside without cutting. Medical imaging is the most common application of x-ray CT. Its cross-sectional images are used for diagnostic and therapeutic
