Abstract
We have studied the effect of NaCl and CaCl2 on phase behavior of foaming aqueous dispersions containing mixtures of silica nanoparticles (Ludox CL) and sulfobetaine (LHSB). At the evaluated ratio, the phase behavior results show that at a low CaCl2 concentration, sedimentation occurs, whereas a stable aqueous dispersion could be achieved when the CaCl2 concentration reaches to 20%. The adsorption experiments show that high concentrations of both NaCl and CaCl2 reduce the adsorption of LHSB to CL. In the CaCl2 dispersion the adsorption decreases significantly and only a few LHSB molecules can be adsorbed on the CL surface. Therefore, without the lower hydrophobicity of LHSB adsorption less CL could adsorbed at the air/water interface. The results on gas permeability show that aqueous dispersions containing mixtures of CL and LHSB show no obvious difference to aqueous systems containing only LHSB. The surface dilatation module of the LHSB and CL system in CaCl2 solution also shows a similar variation to the system with LHSB alone, which is significantly different from the system with 20% NaCl. Finally, foam flow tests in a porous medium show that compared to a 20% CaCl2 dispersion with the LHSB and CL system in 20% NaCl, a finer foam and a higher pressure difference could be achieved.
Kurzfassung
Wir haben die Wirkung von NaCl und CaCl2 auf das Phasenverhalten von schäumenden wässrigen Dispersionen untersucht, die Mischungen aus Silica-Nanopartikeln (Ludox CL) und Sulfobetain (LHSB) enthalten. Die Ergebnisse des Phasenverhaltens bei dem untersuchten Verhältnis zeigten, dass bei niedriger CaCl2-Konzentration eine Sedimentation stattfindet, wohingegen bei einer CaCl2-Konzentration von bis zu 20% eine stabile wässrige Dispersion erreicht werden konnte. Die Adsorptionsexperimente zeigen, dass hohe Konzentrationen sowohl von NaCl als auch CaCl2 die Adsorption von LHSB an CL verringern. In der CaCl2-Dispersion nimmt die Adsorption signifikant ab und nur wenige LHSB-Moleküle können an der CL-Oberfläche adsorbiert werden. Ohne die geringere Hydrophobie durch die LHSB-Adsorption könnten also weniger CL an der Luft-Wasser-Grenzfläche adsorbiert werden. Die Ergebnisse zur Gasdurchlässigkeit zeigen, dass die wässrigen Dispersionen, die Mischungen aus CL und LHSB enthalten, keinen offensichtlichen Unterschied zu wässrigen Systemen, die nur LHSB enthalten, aufweisen. Das Oberflächen-Dilatationsmodul des LHSB- und CL-Systems in CaCl2-Lösung zeigt ebenfalls eine ähnliche Variation wie das System mit LHSB allein, die sich deutlich von dem des Systems mit 20% NaCl unterscheidet. Schließlich zeigen Schaumfließversuche in einem porösen Medium, dass im Vergleich zu einer 20%-igen CaCl2-Dispersion mit dem LHSB- und CL-System in 20% NaCl ein feinerer Schaum und eine höhere Druckdifferenz erzielt werden konnte.
