  2. Surfactant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactant

    Schematic diagram of a micelle – the lipophilic tails of the surfactant ions remain inside the oil because they interact more strongly with oil than with water. The polar "heads" of the surfactant molecules coating the micelle interact more strongly with water, so they form a hydrophilic outer layer that forms a barrier between micelles. This ...

  4. Micelle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micelle

    This type of micelle is known as a normal-phase micelle (or oil-in-water micelle). Inverse micelles have the head groups at the centre with the tails extending out (or water-in-oil micelle). Micelles are approximately spherical in shape. Other shapes, such as ellipsoids, cylinders, and bilayers, are also possible.

  5. Activated sludge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_sludge

    Activated sludge tank at Beckton sewage treatment plant, UK.The white bubbles are due to the diffused air aeration system. The activated sludge process is a type of biological wastewater treatment process for treating sewage or industrial wastewaters using aeration and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa.

  6. Micellar solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micellar_solution

    Schematic of a micellar solution showing spherical micelles distributed in water (solvent) and having no long-range positional order. In colloid science, a micellar solution consists of a dispersion of micelles (small particles) in a solvent (most usually water).

  7. Process flow diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_flow_diagram

    A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. The PFD displays the relationship between major equipment of a plant facility and does not show minor details such as piping details and designations.

  8. Emulsion polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion_polymerization

    In polymer chemistry, emulsion polymerization is a type of radical polymerization that usually starts with an emulsion incorporating water, monomers, and surfactants.The most common type of emulsion polymerization is an oil-in-water emulsion, in which droplets of monomer (the oil) are emulsified (with surfactants) in a continuous phase of water.

  9. Biomolecular condensate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomolecular_condensate

    The swelling of starch grains and their growth was described by a molecular-aggregate model, which he also applied to the cellulose of the plant cell wall. The modern usage of ' micelle ' refers strictly to lipids, but its original usage clearly extended to other types of biomolecule , and this legacy is reflected to this day in the description ...
