Defoamers - Overview of Their Working Process and Types

-
Foams are by-product generated in different chemical and industrial processes. Excess foam generation in industrial processes can cause bad impact on product quality, surface coatings and efficiency of operations.
Defoamers destabilize the existing foam generated. It works with multiple process mechanisms including knocking down surface foam, releasing intentional air in the solution and breaking foams effectively.
 As per the types, applications and usage there are categorized mainly as Silicone based defoamers and Food grade defoamers.

Silicone Based Defoamers :

  • Silicone based defoamers have hydrophobic silica, a linear polysiloxane having  end-blocked polyoxypropylene groups, a polysiloxane having a pendant polyoxypropylene group, a nonionic surfactant and preferably an inert diluent.
  • These are especially used in paints and coatings, detergents, oil refining, paper and pulping industry etc. 
Acuro Organics Limited offers a range of silicone based defoamers, characterized by consistent texture, adequate solubility and quick transfixion of foams.

Food Grade Defoamers :

  • Food-grade defoamers remove foams as water-based food-grade defoamers in aqueous environments. e.g. food-canning processes
  • It works as non-aqueous silicone-free defoamers in polymers & biodegradable oils. 
  • Food grade defoamers are manufactured to be deployed in applications like UF and RO membrane systems, dairy industry, Beverage industry, Dairy industry, Fermentation, Agriculture and other food manufacturing & processing units. 
Acuro Organics Limited offers an extensive range of food grade defoamers, with quick dispersibility, low dosage, good heat resistivity and other important factors for effective results.

Activated Carbons As An Indispensable Aid - Their Types And Features

-
Technical Background Activated carbon is an extensively used adsorbent in various industries. For each different application of activated carbon, different pore structures, types of granules, and carbon surfaces are required. A parametric study is conducted to recognize a specific carbon for a particular application, with varying activating agents, precursor materials and process conditions. Generally, analysis of carbon is performed by running adsorption isotherms, evaluating the BET surface area, and measuring pore volume amongst other procedures. Activated carbon is defined as a carbonaceous material with a wide internal surface area and highly structured porous surface resulting from the processing of raw materials under high temperature reactions. It is formulated with 87% to 97% carbon. Activated carbon’s porous structure allows it to adsorb materials from liquid and gaseous forms. Its pore volume typically ranges between 0.20 to 0.60 cm 3 /g, and has been found to be

RO Antiscalants - A Brief of their performance

-
Image
In the process of reverse osmosis, antiscalants are used as pretreatments to avoid the chances of scaling in membranes, and extending their lifespan. Scaling is precipitation of inorganic scales of materials like calcium, magnesium, barium, strontium, fluoride, iron and silica in RO Membranes . Scaling shortens the lifespan of membranes,and it becomes important to clean membranes periodically. SCALING SPECIES THAT FORM IN MEMBRANES CALCIUM CARBONATE is the most common scale,that appears chalky and off white.  CALCIUM SULPHATE is generally known as Gypsum.Due to its crystalline structure, it causes damages in membrane surfaces.  SILICA deposition on membrane walls is also an usual scaling issue,that can be observed in form of colloids as well as of Aluminosilicates. MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE is well known for its precipitation at high pH and low solubility in water. BARIUM SULPHATE is a scale that appears in form of white crystals. It is also difficult to clean.
