  2. Casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting

    Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods. Heavy equipment like machine tool beds, ships' propellers, etc. can be cast easily in the required size, rather than fabricating by joining several small pieces. [1] Casting is a 7,000-year-old process.

  3. Cast paper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_paper

    Cast paper is a paper crafting technique in which paper fiber or pulp, such as cotton fiber paper, is formed using a mold. The pulp may consist of pure fiber, or be an amalgam of fiber, binder, and filler, such as Papier-mâché. The technique is employed for in-the-round sculpture as well as bas-relief. [1] [2]

  4. Surface chemistry of paper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_chemistry_of_paper

    The surface chemical composition is differentiated by the adsorption of acrylic acid or an anionic surfactant, both of which are used for stabilization of the dispersion in water. [4] Co-binders, or thickeners, are generally water-soluble polymers that influence the paper's color viscosity, water retention, sizing, and gloss.

  5. Ultrafiltration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrafiltration

    When treating water with high suspended solids, UF is often integrated into the process, utilising primary (screening, flotation, filtration) and some secondary treatments as pre-treatment stages. [2] UF processes are currently preferred over traditional treatment methods for the following reasons: No chemicals required (aside from cleaning)

  6. Polymer solution casting - Wikipedia

    As a result, new products and processes are readily developed and implemented, facilitating cost-effective creation of very feature rich and complex catheters. Since the 1990s, Avalon Laboratories and Piper Plastics Corp. have aggressively pioneered polymer solution casting technology, focusing on complex medical devices.

  7. Water purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

    The choice of method will depend on the quality of the water being treated, the cost of the treatment process and the quality standards expected of the processed water. The processes below are the ones commonly used in water purification plants. Some or most may not be used depending on the scale of the plant and quality of the raw (source) water.

  8. Industrial wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Industrial_wastewater_treatment

    [1]: 1412 Constructed wetlands are being used in an increasing number of cases as they provided high quality and productive on-site treatment. Other industrial processes that produce a lot of waste-waters such as paper and pulp production have created environmental concern, leading to development of processes to recycle water use within plants ...

  9. Wet process engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_process_engineering

    Water consumption depends upon the application methods, processes, dyestuffs, equipment/machines and technology which may vary mill to mill and material composition. Longer processing sequences, processing of extra dark colors and reprocessing lead to extra water consumption. And process optimization and right first-time [5] production may save ...
