The consolidation behavior of two kinds of colloidal SiC particles (30 and 330 nm diameters) with and without phenylalanine dispersant (C 6 H 5 CH 2 CHNH 3 + COO ¹ ) at pH 7 was examined using a developed pressure filtration apparatus at 1 MPa of applied pressure. The height of 5 vol %-30 nm SiC suspension with and without phenylalanine as a function of filtration time was well simulated by a filtration model developed for a flocculated suspension rather than a traditional filtration model for a dispersed suspension. The result with phenylalanine is related to the colloidal phase transition from well dispersed particles to flocculated particles under an applied pressure of 1 MPa. The consolidation time became longer as the amount of phenylalanine added exceeded 0.1 mg/m 2 -SiC. However, the packing density of 30 nm SiC particles after consolidation increased from 35% for no addition of phenylalanine to 3742% for 0.11 mg phenylalanine/m 2 -SiC. The consolidation behavior of 20 vol %-330 nm SiC suspension with and without phenylalanine was also well expressed by the filtration model for a flocculated suspension. A longer consolidation time was also measured for the addition of phenylalanine above 1 mg/m 2 -SiC. However, the packing density (49%) of 330 nm SiC particles increased scarcely to 52% by the addition of phenylalanine (2.68 © 10 ¹2 2.85 mg/m 2 -SiC).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
