Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of the effect of polymer structure type on flocculation, rheology and dewatering behaviour of kaolinite dispersions

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of an anionic polyacrylamide-acrylate copolymer (PAM) and a nonionic polyethylene oxide (PEO) polymer on the surface chemistry, shear yield stress, settling rates and consolidation behavior of kaolinite dispersions has been investigated at pH 7.5.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface functionalisation of diatoms with dopamine modified iron-oxide nanoparticles: toward magnetically guided drug microcarriers with biologically derived morphologies

TL;DR: The application of magnetised diatoms as magnetically guided drug delivery microcarriers has been demonstrated in diatom silica microcapsules prepared by purification of diatomaceous earth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Porous silica microshells from diatoms as biocarrier for drug delivery applications

TL;DR: The use of porous silica microshells (microparticles) generated from fossilised diatoms known as diatomite or diatomaceous earth (DE) as a natural drug carrier for drug delivery application is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature influence of nonionic polyethylene oxide and anionic polyacrylamide on flocculation and dewatering behavior of kaolinite dispersions.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that a temperature-induced conformation change, together with polymer structure type, plays an important role in flocculation and dewatering behavior of kaolinite dispersions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functionalized diatom silica microparticles for removal of mercury ions

TL;DR: The results show that mercapto- or amino-functionalized diatom microparticles are promising natural, cost-effective and environmentally benign adsorbents suitable for the removal of mercury ions from aqueous solutions.
