Dry matter content, pH value, conductivity and water content of the concentrates and supernatants were all determined. When more ethanol was used in ethanol precipitation, the pH value of the supernatant generally increased, but dry matter content, water content, and the conductivity decreased. Multivariate linear models were built with the most determination coefficient values greater than 0.7. More than 80% of stachyose was removed in the ethanol precipitation process. The removal rate of fructose, raffinose and sucrose were all higher than 30%. When ethanol addition amount increased, the purity of phenolic acids in the supernatant increased, but the retention of lithosperimic acid and salvianolic acid B decreased. The conductivity and pH value of concentrated extract show relatively small influences on ethanol precipitation indices. When fructose, raffinose, or stachyose contents in the concentrated extract were high, the retention rate of phenolic acids tends to be low on most occasions. The purity and retention rate of phenolic acids in the supernatants were also affected by the purity of phenolic acids in the concentrated. The sugar contents in the concentrate are suggested to be monitored in industry because they significantly affect ethanol precipitation process indices.展开更多

A CO gas sensor has been prepared from WO3 synthesized by a sol-gel method. The sensor chip was prepared by a spin-coating technique which deposited a thin film of WO3 on an alumina substrate. The chip samples were then calcined at 300, 400, 500 or 600 ℃ for 1 h. The sensitivities of the different sensor chips for CO gas were determined by comparing the changes in electrical resistance in the absence and presence of 50 ppm of CO gas at 200 ℃. The WO3 calcined at 500 ℃ had the highest sensitivity. The sensitivity of this sensor was also measured at CO concentrations of 100 ppm and 200 ppm and at operating temperatures of 30 and 100℃. Thermogravimetric analysis of the WO3 calcined at 500 ℃ indicated that this sample had the highest gas adsorption capacity. This preliminary research has shown that WO3 can serve as a CO gas sensor and that is should be further explored and developed.展开更多
