In this study, andrographolide, the main component of this plant was extracted from the leaves of A. paniculata using supercritical carbon dioxide. The operating pressures were varied from 7.50 to 20MPa, the temperatures were varied from 30℃ to 60℃, and the flow rates were varied from 0.5 to 4ml.min^-1. The best extraction condition occurred at 10MPa, 40℃, and a flow rate of 2ml.min^-1 for a 3g sample of A. paniculata ground-dried leaves. The measured extraction rate was found to be about 0.0174g of andrographolide per gram of andrographolide present in the leaves per hour of operation. The future studies must focus on the interaction between the various operating parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate of supercritical carbon dioxide.展开更多

In this work they were used to model four water quality parameters at the Amadorio Reservoir （Alicante, Spain）, namely： water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and conductivity. The main purpose of this study was to predict the future quality of the water and, thus improve its management. Raw data correspond to daily values of mean wind speed, mean wind direction, maximum wind speed, mean, minimum and maximum air temperature, number of hours below 7 ~C, relative humidity, global solar radiation, total precipitation, evapotranspiration, exploitation volume, inflow, outflow, filtration, depth and Julian day. Two years were considered （2004-2005） to get the calibration （186 days, 4,401 registrations） and validation （185 days, 4,573 registrations） datasets. Models were developed using either all the variables or a reduced subset; furthermore, PLSR yielded the best results.展开更多

In this paper, the effect of ultrasonic frequency, ultrasonic intensity and pH value on 3-chlorophenol decomposition were studied. It was found that 3-chlorophenol in aqueous solution can be markedly decomposed by ultrasound assisted electrocatalytic process. The rate of decomposition increased with the increase of frequency, and low frequency is proper in the ultrasound assisted electrocatalytic system. The removal of 3-chlorophenol increased visibly with the increase of ultrasonic intensity until the intensity of 1.56 W/cm2. Alkaline condition is beneficial to 3-chlorophenol decomposition, the rate at pH 9.08 was higher than pH 2.48 and 6.85. The major intermediate formed during 3-chlorophenol decomposition was 2-chloro-pbenzoquinone, which was readily decomposed by ultrasound assisted electrocatalytic process.展开更多
