Defoamers Test Method---Fermentation

Defoamers Test Method---Fermentation

Defoamer type:  Silicone¨  Polyetherþ  fatty alcohol ¨  Mineral oil ¨ Others ¨

1. Defoamer performance: (Air drum test)defoamers test method

Accurately weigh 200ml of foaming medium with a 1000ml measuring cylinder, turn on the air bubble to the specified foam and mention 800ml and record the blank time, then add the prepared defoamer sample, stir it evenly, then turn on the air bubble and record the volume V changes with time.

2. Solid content test (instrument: oven, Surface dish)

  1. Turn on the oven, set the temperature to 105°C, wash and dry the watch glass
  2. Weigh a certain amount of defoamer sample on the watch glass, and record the weight of the watch glass before and after adding the defoamer as ml and m2
  3. Put the watch glass with the sample in the oven, close the oven after 1h, put the watch glass in the desiccator and cool it, then weigh it as m3;
  4. The solid content of the sample is: W=(m3-m1)/(m2-m1)*100%

  • 3.Viscosity (instrument: mechanical viscometer, constant temperature water bath)

  1. Turn on the water bath and set to the desired temperature
  2. Wash the viscometer, add a standard amount of defoamer sample, turn on the circulating water, and keep the temperature constant for 15min
  3. Calibrate the viscometer, select the appropriate rotor, turn on the viscometer, read and record

  • Particle size: (Test D50, D90 and tail peak with a particle size analyzer)

Turn on the power of the dispersing device of the particle size analyzer and the optical system, warm up for about 30 minutes, and then start the computer. Run the laser particle size analyzer program.

  • Cloud point

  1. If the polyether is soluble in water, use distilled water to prepare a% polyether aqueous solution;
  2. If polyether is insoluble in water, first prepare 10% M224 aqueous solution with distilled water, and then use M224 aqueous solution to prepare% polyether solution.
  Specific steps:

Pour the polyether solution prepared above into a 10ml centrifuge tube and place it in a water bath for heating. While heating the centrifuge tube, stir the polyether solution up and down with a thermometer at the same time. After the solution begins to become cloudy, remove After centrifuging the tube, the temperature is lowered in ice water or tap water. During the cooling process, the polyether solution is continuously stirred up and down, and the temperature at which the polyether solution becomes clear is recorded. This temperature is the cloud point of the polyether.

6. Hydroxyl value (phthalic anhydride titration method)

  • Thermal stability (observing the temperature or precipitation of oil bleaching or precipitation during heating)

  • Self stability (shaker method, oven method)

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ?

How do we assess antifoam efficiency ? Quality of an antifoam is given by two main characteristics : • Knockdown ability or shock effect :Meaning the speed to destroy an existing foam. • Persistence or durability : Meaning the efficiency over time.   These two parameters can be assessed by several tests. The main test is the bubbling method. A graduated column with a glass frit in the bottom is required. Foaming water is poured in the column and air at constant flowrate is introduced through the glass frit in the column. Foam is generated by the air and starts to travel up the column. At a determined level of foam, antifoam is injected. By this method several antifoaming agents can be tested. A graph reporting foam height vs time is very helpful to establish the knockdown ability and the persistence for each product. The selected antifoam is the product with the best compromise between shock effect and durability       Environmental performance   Silicone antifo...

invely-defoamers

Why Foam could be so inconvenient ? A light foam is generally not problematic in most applications however heavy foaming can often lead to various processing problems. These problems range from inaccurate readings from control and measuring equipment such as temperature, level and density controllers to poor mixing of reactants in chemical reaction vessels and products hanging in the foam, all too often leading to losses in production. Finally the presence of foaming can give a bad image of the way a process is operated in the eyes of a customer. The presence of foam in discharged effluent can cause complaints from local people and authorities even if the foam is harmless to people and the environment. How do silicone defoamers work ? Foam is a gas dispersion in a liquid or solid continuous phase. Foam iscreated by the surfactants which are at the air/liquid interface. Therefore air bubbles occur and are stabilised by the surfactants. Today, silicone antifoams are thebest solution to a...

Defoamer Test Method

Defoamer testing methods are divided into dynamic defoaming and static defoaming tests. If your foaming environment is different, the recommended test methods are different. There are three main types of foam experiments to characterize the activity of defoamers. Persistence. As we have different experimental conditions in different laboratories and the experiments used in our research to obtain results from existing literature, we will introduce these experiments below. Other methods are sometimes used depending on the particular application. 1． Ross-Miles Foam Tester   Features: Tested for strong foaming environments. This experiment is widely used for characterization        (1) Foaming of surfactant solution        (2) Research and application of foam stability in the presence of defoamer In the foaming system, the defoaming performance test was carried out by circulating bubbling by a Ros...
