Abstract
A magnetite-containing gel was prepared by water-in-oil radical polymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide and N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide in the presence of magnetite. The size of the prepared gel particles was 86 µm. The obtained magnetite-containing gel was packed in a column and first permeated with water, which revealed that the gel displayed a nonlinear response to pressure drop with increasing flow rate. Thus, the gel particles at the bottom of the column felt more pressure from the fluid than those at the top, causing greater deformation of the gel particles at the bottom of the column than at the top. The gaps between the packed gel particles functioned as pores to filter particles of appropriate size and morphology. An industrial silica particle suspension with particle sizes of 300 nm, 800 nm, and 10 µm was permeated through the gel layer. The smallest (300 nm) silica particles passed through the column. The filtered silica particles were recovered from the gel layer by using a magnet to separate the magnetite-containing gel from the filtered silica particles. This magnetite-containing gel has wide application prospects for the separation of not only ceramics but also other colloids.
