[Method] The optimal condition for chromatography system of sugar analysis was selected by measuring sugars in fermented rice wine with ion chromatography and pulsed amperometric detection. [Result] The optimal measurement conditions were as follows: Leacheate (Leachate), consisting of NaOH and CH3COONa, was eluted by gradient concentrations, with column temperature at 35 ℃ and flow rate at 0.4 ml/min. In the condition, sugars in rice wine were ana- lyzed and the results showed that the method is featured by low detection limit, good repetition and high recovery rate. [Conclusion] The research establishes and determines the approaches and optimum conditions for sugar analysis in rice wine by ion chromatography and pulsed amperometric detection, providing references for advancement of research on quality improvement of fermented rice wine.展开更多

All samples were investigated for methanol content and, while quantities varied depending on the fermentation process, the amounts of methanol determined were statistically significant. The results showed a clear trend of increasing amounts of methanol; the longer it was fermented, the higher amount of methanol it gained. The appropriate distillation temperature was at 85 ℃ examined from a fermented sample which had the highest level of methanol. As a part of this research, a workshop was conducted for distillers on skill development and knowledge promotion for rice wine, rice whisky and safe wine manufacturer. This included a campaign to promote safer rice wine distillation process wherein alcohol content does not exceed 15%. An evaluation at the completion of the workshop indicated that the participants had gained knowledge and understanding, satisfaction, and knowledge utilization.展开更多

The studied four parameters and ranges are: winglets-pitch ratio(1.33, 2.67, and 4),winglets-length ratio(0.33, 0.67, and 1), winglets-width ratio(0.2, 0.4, and 0.6), and Reynolds number(5200to 12200). The testing fluids are the water and Cu–water nanofluid at the volumetric fraction of 0.2%. The results obtained on HTE, pressure drop, and performance evaluation criterion(PEC) are compared with those for water in a smooth tube. It is found that the VG inserts with lower winglets-pitch ratio and higher winglets-length/width ratios present higher values of HTE and pressure drop. Over the range studied, the maximum PEC of 1.83 is detected with the Cu–water nanofluid inside the tube equipped with a VG insert at the winglets-width ratio of0.6 for the maximum Reynolds number, when the heat transfer rate and pressure drop are 1.24 times and 2.03 times of those in the smooth tube. Generalized regression equations of the Nusselt number, friction factor, and PEC are presented for the tubular heat exchangers with the VG inserts for both water and Cu–water nanofluid.It is concluded that the main advantage of the VG inserts is their simple fabrication and considerable performance, particularly at higher Reynolds number.展开更多

The methyl orange (MO)aqueous solution was selected as a simulated wastewater. The ordered microstructural TiO2-NTs substrate was synthesized by an electrochemical method to obtain large specific surface area and high space utilization. The phase structure, electrode surface morphology and electrochemical properties of electrodes were characterized by XRD, SEM and electrochemical technology, respectively. The results showed that praseo- dymium oxide was successfully doped into the SnOz-Sb film by CV method. Due to the doped Pr, the oxygen evo- lution potential increased from 2.25 V to 2.40 V. The degradation of MO was investigated by UV-vis. The Ct/C0(φ) was studied as a function to obtain the optimal parameters, such as the amount of doped Pr, current density and initial dye concentration. In addition, the degradation process followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics and the rate constant was 0.099 3 min-1. The result indicated that the introduction of Pr reduced the formation of oxygen vacancies or enhanced the formation of adsorbed hydroxyl radical groups on the surface, thus leading to better activity and stability.展开更多

However, overdose of this drug is very dangerous to the human body. In this study, a new sensor based on a pyrogallol red modified‐multiwalled carbon nanotube paste electrode (PGRMMWCNTPE) was prepared and used for high sensitivity determination of ISPR in aqueous solution. Electrocatalytic oxidation of ISPR at the PGRMMWCNTPE was investigated by chronoam‐perometry, cyclic voltammetry, and square‐wave voltammetry. The values of the catalytic rate con‐stant, electron transfer coefficient, and diffusion coefficient for ISPR oxidation were then calculated using voltammetric data. A linear calibration curve was constructed for ISPR concentration in the range 0.8–570μmol/L with a detection limit of 0.47μmol/L ISPR. The sensor was then applied to the determination of ISPR in urine and drug samples with satisfactory results.展开更多
