The effects of Sur- face tension, surfactant concentration, foam/solution height ratio and air flow rate on the separation performance were investigated, and the results showed that good en- richments and recoveries can be achieved for bovine serum albumin operated at el- evated pressures. Especially the size of bubbles generated by the stainless steel sparger was smaller at higher pressures which is favorable to the foam separation process. Furthermore, the separation mechanism of bovine serum albumin operated at elevated pressure was also discussed.展开更多

The tests were carried out on a catalyst engine, under full load conditions, using as a fuel gasoline and ethanol mixtures. During the test the CO and HC emissions were measured in different engine speeds (1000, 2000 and 3000 rpm) and different fuel mixtures. The catalyst inlet (Ti) and outlet (To) temperatures were also monitored. It has been noticed that the use of ethanol as fuel results in the CO and HC decrease, with simultaneous temperature difference decrease (AT) at the catalyst when the engine function under full load conditions.展开更多

This flavoured alcoholic beverage is produced by extraction and distillation of fermented grape pomaces with herbal seeds from aromatic plants like Pimpinella anisum L., Foeniculum vulgate, Illicium verum and other plants which are also characterized by the presence of congeners which arise during fermentation process. Trans-anethol and its isomer cis-anethol are the main volatiles and are responsible for aroma properties of these traditional aniseed distillates. The aim of this research work was to find the concentration of special aromatic agent, trans-anethol and cis-anethol and also the major aromatic substances which are responsible for the aromatic quality. The majority of their identified components are isolated by extraction and distillation from different commercial brands and homemade samples. The constituents were identified by GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectometry) in this traditional spirit. The major constituents in distilled ouzo extract were also trans-anethol.展开更多
