Preparation water creams for shoes based on the production of durable wax soap emulsions using alkaline solutions. Before talking about the technical side of preparing aqueous creams, it must be said that these products have many disadvantages in comparison with turpentine cream: they are not resistant to cold, do not preserve the skin, do not protect it from dampness and are often covered with mold. These disadvantages can be partially eliminated by replacing 10% of water with the same amount of turpentine. The addition of paraffin increases the water resistance of the cream within certain limits, but you cannot take more than 5% of paraffin by weight of waxes and fats.

The most suitable are water-based creams for colored shoes, but they need to be stored in glass jars, since water-based colored creams change their color in metal boxes; In addition, metal boxes rust, which also affects the color of aqueous colored creams. Saponified creams

As for the methods for preparing aqueous creams, more knowledge and skill are required here than when making turpentine cream. Obtaining a quality-impeccable and well-bound product depends on the correct formation of emulsions; To do this, you need to study emulsification processes and practice using them. Aqueous creams cannot be called saponified in the chemical sense of the word, since they contain only small quantities of soap necessary to emulsify the waxes.

Soap is either added to the mass in finished form, or is formed during the process from the action of carbonic alkali on free fatty acids found in waxes. The entire mass of socks and neutrals is not saponified. Consequently, an aqueous cream is a hardened emulsion, the stability (strength) of which depends either on soap, or on weak alkaline solutions, or, finally, on these two factors simultaneously. In the process of practical work, it is very important to have a better distribution of fats and wax in an aqueous alkaline and soap solution, which is achieved by uniformly stirring it at a temperature that is not too high, since at high temperatures fat and wax are easily released onto the surface of the solution.

The correct amount of alkali needed for aqueous creams should be established by preliminary experimental testing of this raw material, and to begin experimental practice it is easier and best to add equal parts of soap and potash to the mass of the solution.

If in aqueous creams 10% of water is replaced with turpentine, then the required amount of potash and soap can be halved, and when 20% of water is replaced with turpentine, the amount of soap and potash is reduced even more, bringing it to one third.

To protect aqueous creams from molding, add 3 g of regular commercial formaldehyde to each kilogram of cream. Salicylic acid should not be used for preservation purposes, since it binds with alkalis. To protect tin boxes from rust, you can coat the inside with a solution of asphalt in heavy gasoline. The process of preparing aqueous creams is as follows:

A mixture of waxes is loaded into a cauldron or pan and melted while stirring, trying to avoid high temperatures. Next, in the case of preparing mixed creams, add in a thin stream the amount of turpentine with which you want to replace a certain part of the water, and then add in small portions a solution of potash heated to boiling.

When adding the potash solution, you need to carefully ensure that the foam released does not go over the edge; in necessary cases, they resort to precipitation by sprinkling it with water. If you use ready-made soap, you must first dissolve it in a solution of potash, which is usually prepared at ten percent. The remaining amount of water is added with the dye solution and the heating itself continues until the free acids are saponified and the release of carbon dioxide stops. Excessive heating time should be avoided and stirring should be carried out continuously in the same direction. The exact amount of water is determined experimentally, as it depends on the hardness of the waxes used.

If a noticeable amount of water evaporates during the production of creams, then it should be added, but always in a heated form. At the very end, add the paint solution and stir thoroughly until a uniform soap-like mass is formed. Next, remove from the heat and continue stirring until the mass begins to thicken, which usually occurs when the mass is cooled to 50-60 °C. Then they are poured into tins or flasks, and you need to try to quickly cool the cream to avoid decomposition of the emulsion.

Using the above information, as well as the availability, due to local conditions, of one or another type of raw material, you can change recipes and preparation methods at your own discretion and the experience that the production process of making aqueous shoe polishes will provide.

Aqueous zinc-ion battery with a long service life 23.08.2023

A research team led by Professor Zhao Banchuan of the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has unveiled a revolutionary new achievement in the field of energy, a high-performance water-based zinc-ion battery with a long service life, even under weak magnetic field conditions.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are a promising and environmentally friendly alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, the limited chemistry of cathode materials and the growth of zinc dendrites at the anode lead to a limitation in the energy density and life cycle of aqueous zinc-ion batteries. To overcome this problem, scientists focused on creating cathodes with increased energy density and suppressing the growth of zinc dendrites.

The researchers took a novel approach by combining a one-step hydrothermal technique with electrochemical defect engineering to create a unique cathode material, VS 2 . This material had a high density of defects, which effectively reduced the electrostatic interaction between zinc ions and VS 2 , promoting three-dimensional transport of Zn 2+ ions in the material structure. This in turn provided improved battery efficiency.

Despite challenges in the form of zinc dendritic growth, the research team found that exposure to a weak external magnetic field inhibited dendritic growth and significantly extended battery life. Experiments in a weak magnetic field confirmed that the high-performance Zn-VS 2 battery provides a long service life, high energy density and power.
