摘要:
A method for water treatment, includes: contacting water with an effective amount of a composition comprising a polymer derived from a first monomer of formula I: (formula I), and a second monomer selected from : (formula), and (formula), to obtain a treated water with reduced chemical oxygen demand; and separating the treated water from the composition; wherein, a weight percentage of the first monomer to a total of the first and the second monomers is in a range of from 0 to 90%; R 1 , independently at each occurrence, is, H, C 1 -C 18 alkyl, alkoxyl, or phenyl; R 2 is C 1 -C 18 alkyl, alkoxyl, or phenyl; and a is an integer ranging from 0-4. An associated composition and a method for preparing the same are also described.
摘要:
A method for forming polymer microparticles is disclosed. The method comprises spraying a liquid comprising a thermally-gelling polymer from a first orifice of a nozzle into air to form gelled microparticles, and collecting the gelled microparticles with a collecting device. The nozzle is positioned to have a central axis of the first orifice at a tilt angle in a range from about 10 degrees to about 170 degrees relative to a direction of gravity. The collecting device comprises at least two collecting units at different distances from the first orifice of the nozzle in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity. Each of the collecting unit is loaded with a liquid collecting medium. A system for forming polymer microparticles is also disclosed.
