The texture, color, deformation, moisture content, and temperature of the cookie as evaluation indicators, the influences of baking process parameters, such as baking time, surface heating temperature and bottom heating temperature, on the quality of the cookie were studied to optimize the baking process parameters. The results showed that the baking process parameters had obvious effects on the texture, color, deformation, moisture content, and temperature of the cookie. All of the roasting surface heating temperature, bottom heating temperature and baking time had positive influences on the hardness, crunchiness, crispiness, and the total color difference(ΔE) of the cookie. When the heating temperatures of the surfac and bottom increased, the diameter and thickness deformation rate of the cookie increased. However,with the extension of baking time, the diameter and thickness deformation rate of the cookie first increased and then decreased. With the surface heating temperature of 180 ℃, the bottom heating temperature of 150 ℃, and baking time of 15 min, the cookie was crisp and moderate with moderate deformation and uniform color. There was no burnt phenomenon with the desired quality. Research results provided a theoretical basis for cookie manufactory based on food 3D printing technology.展开更多

Worldwide, large amounts of copper tailings generated from copper production are continuously dumped, posing a potential environmental threat. Herein, the recovery of iron from copper tailings via low-temperature direct reduction and magnetic separation was conducted; process optimization was carried out, and the corresponding mineralogy was investigated. The reduction time, reduction temperature, reducing agent (coal), calcium chloride additive, grinding time, and magnetic field intensity were examined for process optimization. Mineralogical analyses of the sample, reduced pellets, and magnetic concentrate under various conditions were performed by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry to elucidate the iron reduction and growth mechanisms. The results indicated that the optimum parameters of iron recovery include a reduction temperature of 1150A degrees C, a reduction time of 120 min, a coal dosage of 25%, a calcium chloride dosage of 2.5%, a magnetic field intensity of 100 mT, and a grinding time of 1 min. Under these conditions, the iron grade in the magnetic concentrate was greater than 90%, with an iron recovery ratio greater than 95%.展开更多

The optimal flow quantity of insert gas for the specimens is 3 to 4 m~3/h. Either less or higher than the optimal flow quantity of insert gas would lead to misrun defects or folds, blisters and porosity defects. The practice of hub casting confirmed that the low-pressure EPC process with an optimal processing variable exemplified as 4 m~3/h gas flow quantity was capable of producing complicated magnesium castings without misrun defects.展开更多

Production ...The increase in oil prices and greenhouse gas emissions has led to the search for substitutes for fossil fuels. In Cameroon, the abundance of lignocellulosic resources is inherent to agricultural activity. Production of bioethanol remains a challenge given the crystallinity of cellulose and the presence of the complex. The pretreatment aimed to solubilize the lignin fraction and to make cellulose more accessible to the hydrolytic enzymes, was done using the organosolv process. A mathematical modeling was performed to point out the effect of the temperature on the kinetics of the release of the reducing sugars during the pretreatment. Two mathematical model was used, SAEMAN’s model and Response surface methodology. The first show that the kinetic parameters of the hydrolysis of the cellulose and reducing sugar are: 0.05089 min<sup>-1</sup>, 5358.1461 J·mol<sup>-1</sup>, 1383.03691 min<sup>-1</sup>, 51577.6100 J·mol<sup>-1</sup> respectively. The second model was used. Temperature is the factor having the most positive influence whereas, ethanol concentration is not an essential factor. To release the maximum, an organosolv pre-treatment of this sub-strate should be carried out at 209.08°C for 47.60 min with an ethanol-water ratio of 24.02%. Organosolv pre-treatment is an effective process for delignification of the lignocellulosic structure.展开更多

At present, the purification process in industrial production suffers from large amount of solid waste, high solvent toxicity, and low sinomenine hydrochloride yield. In this study, a new purification process for sinomenine hydrochloride was proposed by using the extract obtained from acid extraction of Caulis Sinomenii as the starting material.The process included the following steps: alkalization, extraction, water washing, acid–water stripping,drying, and crystallization. 1-Heptanol was used as the extractant. The distribution coefficients of sinomenine and sinomenine hydrochloride in 1-heptanol–water system were 27.4 and 0.0167, respectively.The dissociation constants of sinomenine hydrochloride were 8.27 and 11.24, respectively. Process parameters of the new purification process were optimized with experimental design. The extractant1-heptanol and sinomenine hydrochloride in the crystallization mother solution can be recycled in the new process. The purity of the obtained sinomenine hydrochloride crystals exceeded 85%, and the yield was about 70%. Compared with current industrial processes, safer extractant, less solid waste, and higher sinomenine hydrochloride yield can be achieved using the new purification process of sinomenine hydrochloride provided in this study.展开更多

Practitioners employed several physical or chemical treatments to improve denim qualities in denim finishing operations. So, several treatment processes, including enzymatic, bleaching, singeing, heat set, and ozone finish, are used, which made this processing more energy consumption and time-consuming. Therefore, it is significant to investigate how changing the chemicals and raw ingredients could improve the finishing process, which is environmentally and economically beneficial for sustainable production practices in the denim finishing process. This study’s research design comprises an experimental investigation in a denim plant in Bangladesh. Two different fabrics were chosen to analyze, determining the potential savings of finishing on the denim fabrics’ performance characteristics. By deducting singeing and heat-set processes, the researchers ran an experimental process by maintaining the same length of fabric. Then, the impacts of finishing process optimization on the mechanical, thermal, and comfort parameters of drape, stiffness, and tear strength were examined. The study’s findings demonstrated that this experiment increased productivity and reduced the finishing unit’s energy consumption without compromising the denim fabrics’ quality. This study significantly impacts environmental sustainability by preserving limited energy resources and manufacturing denim finishing processes.展开更多

The sidewall fusion depth, the width of the heat-affected zone, and the line energy are utilized as comprehensive indications of the quality of the welded joint. In order to achieve well fusion and reduce the heat input to the base metal.Three welding process characteristics were chosen as the primary determinants, including welding voltage, welding speed, and wire feeding speed. The metamodel of the welding quality index was built by the orthogonal experiments. The metamodel and NSGA-Ⅱ(Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm Ⅱ) were combined to develop a multi-objective optimization model of ultra-narrow gap welding process parameters. The results showed that the optimized welding process parameters can increase the sidewall fusion depth, reduce the width of the heataffected zone and the line energy, and to some extent improve the overall quality of the ultra-narrow gap welding process.展开更多

It is in the phase of industrial automation which made it possible to use the machines in order to reduce the workload of the worker while keeping a high productivity and a quality in great demand. Furthermore, the use of cyanide in leaching tanks is a necessity in the gold recovery process. This consumption of cyanide must be optimal in these tanks in order to have a good recovery while controlling the concentration of cyanide. Cyanide is one of the most expensive products for mining companies. On a completely different note, we see huge variations during the addition of cyanide. Following a recommendation from the metallurgical and operations teams, the control team carried out an analysis of the problem while proposing a solution to reduce the variability around plus or minus 10% of the addition setpoint through automation. It should be noted that this automatic optimization by monitoring the concentration of cyanide, made use of industrial automation which is a technique which ensures the operation of the ore processing chain without human intervention. In other words, it made it possible to substitute a machine for man. So, this leads us to conduct a study on concentration levels in the real world. The results show that the analysis of the modeling of the cyanide consumption optimization system is an appropriate solution to eradicate failures in the mineral processing chain. The trend curves demonstrate this resolution perfectly.展开更多

文摘This study aims to identify a natural plant chemical with hypolipidemic effects that can be used to treat high cholesterol without adverse reactions.Through network pharmacology screening,it was found that Rosae Rugosae Flos(RF)flavonoids had potential therapeutic effects on hyperlipidemia and its mechanism of action was discussed.TCMSP and GeneCards databases were used to obtain active ingredients and disease targets.Venn diagrams were drawn to illustrate the findings.The interaction network diagram was created using Cytoscape 3.8.0 software.The PPI protein network was constructed using String.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis was performed using Metascape.The results revealed 2 active flavonoid ingredients and 60 potential targets in RF.The key targets,including CCL2,PPARG,and PPARA,were found to play a role in multiple pathways such as the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway,lipid and atherosclerosis,and cancer pathway in diabetic complications.The solvent extraction method was optimized for efficient flavonoid extraction based on network pharmacology prediction results.This was achieved through a single factor and orthogonal test,resulting in an optimum process with a reflux time of 1.5 h,a solid-liquid ratio of 1:13 g/mL,and an ethanol concentration of 50%.
文摘The increase in oil prices and greenhouse gas emissions has led to the search for substitutes for fossil fuels. In Cameroon, the abundance of lignocellulosic resources is inherent to agricultural activity. Production of bioethanol remains a challenge given the crystallinity of cellulose and the presence of the complex. The pretreatment aimed to solubilize the lignin fraction and to make cellulose more accessible to the hydrolytic enzymes, was done using the organosolv process. A mathematical modeling was performed to point out the effect of the temperature on the kinetics of the release of the reducing sugars during the pretreatment. Two mathematical model was used, SAEMAN’s model and Response surface methodology. The first show that the kinetic parameters of the hydrolysis of the cellulose and reducing sugar are: 0.05089 min<sup>-1</sup>, 5358.1461 J·mol<sup>-1</sup>, 1383.03691 min<sup>-1</sup>, 51577.6100 J·mol<sup>-1</sup> respectively. The second model was used. Temperature is the factor having the most positive influence whereas, ethanol concentration is not an essential factor. To release the maximum, an organosolv pre-treatment of this sub-strate should be carried out at 209.08°C for 47.60 min with an ethanol-water ratio of 24.02%. Organosolv pre-treatment is an effective process for delignification of the lignocellulosic structure.

文摘Sinomenine hydrochloride is generally produced from Caulis Sinomenii. At present, the purification process in industrial production suffers from large amount of solid waste, high solvent toxicity, and low sinomenine hydrochloride yield. In this study, a new purification process for sinomenine hydrochloride was proposed by using the extract obtained from acid extraction of Caulis Sinomenii as the starting material.The process included the following steps: alkalization, extraction, water washing, acid–water stripping,drying, and crystallization. 1-Heptanol was used as the extractant. The distribution coefficients of sinomenine and sinomenine hydrochloride in 1-heptanol–water system were 27.4 and 0.0167, respectively.The dissociation constants of sinomenine hydrochloride were 8.27 and 11.24, respectively. Process parameters of the new purification process were optimized with experimental design. The extractant1-heptanol and sinomenine hydrochloride in the crystallization mother solution can be recycled in the new process. The purity of the obtained sinomenine hydrochloride crystals exceeded 85%, and the yield was about 70%. Compared with current industrial processes, safer extractant, less solid waste, and higher sinomenine hydrochloride yield can be achieved using the new purification process of sinomenine hydrochloride provided in this study.

文摘Fast drilling electrical discharge machining(EDM)is widely used in the manufacture of film cooling holes of turbine blades.However,due to the various hole orientations and severe electrode wear,it is relatively intricate to accurately and timely identify the critical moments such as breakout,hole completion in the drilling process,and adjust the machining strategy properly.Existing breakout detection and hole completion determination methods are not suitable for the high-efficiency and fully automatic production of film cooling holes,for they almost all depend on preset thresholds or training data and become less appropriate when machining condition changes.As the breakout and hole completion detection problems can be abstracted to an online stage identification problem,in this paper,a kurtosis-based stage identification(KBSI)method,which uses a novel normalized kurtosis to denote the recent changing trends of gap voltage signals,is developed for online stage identification.The identification accuracy and generalization ability of the KBSI method have been verified in various machining conditions.To improve the overall machining efficiency,the influence of servo control parameters on machining efficiency of each machining stage was analyzed experimentally,and a new stage-wise adaptive control strategy was then proposed to dynamically adjust the servo control parameters according to the online identification results.The performance of the new strategy is evaluated by drilling film cooling holes at different hole orientations.Experimental results show that with the new control strategy,machining efficiency and the machining quality can be significantly improved.

文摘Denim is widely accepted among exported textile products due to its aesthetics, appearance, and fashion. Practitioners employed several physical or chemical treatments to improve denim qualities in denim finishing operations. So, several treatment processes, including enzymatic, bleaching, singeing, heat set, and ozone finish, are used, which made this processing more energy consumption and time-consuming. Therefore, it is significant to investigate how changing the chemicals and raw ingredients could improve the finishing process, which is environmentally and economically beneficial for sustainable production practices in the denim finishing process. This study’s research design comprises an experimental investigation in a denim plant in Bangladesh. Two different fabrics were chosen to analyze, determining the potential savings of finishing on the denim fabrics’ performance characteristics. By deducting singeing and heat-set processes, the researchers ran an experimental process by maintaining the same length of fabric. Then, the impacts of finishing process optimization on the mechanical, thermal, and comfort parameters of drape, stiffness, and tear strength were examined. The study’s findings demonstrated that this experiment increased productivity and reduced the finishing unit’s energy consumption without compromising the denim fabrics’ quality. This study significantly impacts environmental sustainability by preserving limited energy resources and manufacturing denim finishing processes.

文摘The successful confinement of the arc by the flux band depends on the welding process parameters for achieving single-pass,multi-layer, and ultra-narrow gap welding. The sidewall fusion depth, the width of the heat-affected zone, and the line energy are utilized as comprehensive indications of the quality of the welded joint. In order to achieve well fusion and reduce the heat input to the base metal.Three welding process characteristics were chosen as the primary determinants, including welding voltage, welding speed, and wire feeding speed. The metamodel of the welding quality index was built by the orthogonal experiments. The metamodel and NSGA-Ⅱ(Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm Ⅱ) were combined to develop a multi-objective optimization model of ultra-narrow gap welding process parameters. The results showed that the optimized welding process parameters can increase the sidewall fusion depth, reduce the width of the heataffected zone and the line energy, and to some extent improve the overall quality of the ultra-narrow gap welding process.
文摘The optimization system, which was the subject of our study, is an autonomous chain for the automatic management of cyanide consumption. It is in the phase of industrial automation which made it possible to use the machines in order to reduce the workload of the worker while keeping a high productivity and a quality in great demand. Furthermore, the use of cyanide in leaching tanks is a necessity in the gold recovery process. This consumption of cyanide must be optimal in these tanks in order to have a good recovery while controlling the concentration of cyanide. Cyanide is one of the most expensive products for mining companies. On a completely different note, we see huge variations during the addition of cyanide. Following a recommendation from the metallurgical and operations teams, the control team carried out an analysis of the problem while proposing a solution to reduce the variability around plus or minus 10% of the addition setpoint through automation. It should be noted that this automatic optimization by monitoring the concentration of cyanide, made use of industrial automation which is a technique which ensures the operation of the ore processing chain without human intervention. In other words, it made it possible to substitute a machine for man. So, this leads us to conduct a study on concentration levels in the real world. The results show that the analysis of the modeling of the cyanide consumption optimization system is an appropriate solution to eradicate failures in the mineral processing chain. The trend curves demonstrate this resolution perfectly.
