Effect of metallic ions on dispersibility of fine diaspore

Dispersion experiments were conducted to study the influence of metallic cations on the dispersibility of diaspore. The reaction mechanisms were investigated based on the analysis of zeta （ξ） potential and calculations of solution chemistry and DLVO theory. The results show that the valence of cations, instead of the cation type, plays an important role in the dispersibility of diaspore The impact of multivalent metallic cations is greater than that of monovalent cations. In the presence of Ca^2＋ and Mg^2＋, the dispersion of diaspore doesn＇t change in the range of pH value below 10. However, Ca^2＋ and Mg^2＋ may induce strong coagulation of particles when pH value is higher than 10. The adsorption of species of calcium and magnesium ions on diaspore can cause the compression of electric double layer, the decrease of the absolute value of zeta potential and the repulsion force between diaspore particles. The new IEP （isoelectric point） appeared at pH value of 11 may attribute to the adsorption of Mg（OH）2（s）.

Study of Enhanced Fine Coal De-sulphurization and De-ashing by Ultrasonic Flotation

The feasibility of using ultrasound to enhance the performance of de-sulphurization and de-ashing during slime flotation was investigated. The Setararn C80 calorimeter, the contact angle gauge DCAT21 and an electrophoresis apparatus were used to study the surface nature of coal, pyrite and refuse before and after ultrasonic conditioning. The yield, ash and sulfur contents of equally sized coal slimes were also measured before and after ultrasonic conditioning. The results show that ultrasonic conditioning can drive the separation of pyrite and refuse from coal. After ultrasonic conditioning the hydrophobicity of coal and hydrophilicity of pyrite and refuse increase. The perfect index of flotation, the perfect index of de-sulphurization and the percentage of de-sulphurization increase by 22.51%, 25.36% and 2.49%, respectively. This study shows that ultrasonic conditioning can enhance the performance of de-sulphurization and de-ashing of coal flotation methods.

Isolation and Identification of a Bacterium from Marine Shrimp Digestive Tract:A New Degrader of Starch and Protein

It is a practical approach to select candidate probiotic bacterial stains on the basis of their special traits. Production of digestive enzyme was used as a trait to select a candidate probiotic bacterial strain in this study. In order to select a bacterium with the ability to degrade both starch and protein, an ideal bacterial strain STE was isolated from marine shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) intestines by using multiple selective media.The selected isolate STE was identified on the basis of its morphological, physiological,and biochemical characteristics as well as molecular analyses. Results of degradation experiments confirmed the ability of the selected isolate to degrade both starch and casein. The isolate STE was aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile and non-spore-forming, and had catalase and oxidase activities but no glucose fermentation activity. Among the tested carbon/nitrogen sources, only Tween40, alanyl-glycine, aspartyl-glycine, and glycyl-l-glutamic acid were utilized by the isolate STE. Results of homology comparison analyses of the 16S rDNA sequences showed that the isolate STE had a high similarity to several Pseudoalteromonas species and, in the phylogenetic tree, grouped with P. ruthenica with maximum bootstrap support (100%). In conclusion, the isolate STE was characterized as a novel strain belonging to the genus Pseudoalteromonas.This study provides a further example of a probiotic bacterial strain with specific characteristics isolated from the host gastrointestinal tract.

Unrealistic treatment of detrained water substance in FGOALS-s2 and its influence on the model's climate sensitivity

Based on a series of aqua-planet and air–sea coupled experiments,the influence of unrealistic treatment of water substance in the Flexible Global Ocean–Atmosphere–Land System Model,spectral version 2（FGOALS-s2）,on the model＇s climate sensitivity is investigated in this paper.Because the model does not adopt an explicit microphysics scheme,the detrained water substance from the convection scheme is converted back to the humidity.This procedure could lead to an additional increase of water vapor in the atmosphere,which could strengthen the model＇s climate sensitivity.Further sensitivity experiments confirm this deduction.After removing the water vapor converted from the detrained water substance,the water vapor reduced significantly in the upper troposphere and the high clouds also reduced.Quantitative calculations show that the water vapor reduced almost 10% of the total water vapor,and 50% at 150 h Pa,when the detrained water substance was removed,contributing to the 30% atmospheric surface temperature increase.This study calls for an explicit microphysics scheme to be introduced into the model in order to handle the detrained water vapor and thus improve the model＇s simulation skill.

Effect of bubbles addition on teetered bed separation

To improve the separation efficiency of a conventional Teetered Bed Separator(TBS) in beneficiation of fine coal with a wide size range,an Aeration TBS(A-TBS) was proposed in this investigation.The bubbles were introduced to A-TBS by a self-priming micro-bubble generator.This study theoretically analyzed the effect of bubbles on the difference in hindered settling terminal velocity between different density particles,investigated the impact of superficial water velocity(V_(SW)) and superficial gas velocity(V_(Sg)) on bed fluidization,and compared the performance of the TBS and A-TBS in treating 1-0.25 mm size fraction particles.The results show that the expansion degree of fluidized bed which was formed by different size particles or has different initial height,is increased by the introduction of bubbles.Compared with the TBS,at the same level of clean coal ash content,the A-TBS shows an increase in the combustible recovery of clean coal,ash content of tailings,and practical separation density by 5.26%,6.56%,and 0.088 g/cm3 respectively,while it shows a decrease in the probable error(E_p) and V_(SW) by 0.031 and 3.51 mm/s,respectively.The addition of bubbles at a proper amount not only improves the separation performance of TBS,but also reduces the upward water velocity.

Enhancing the separation performance by introducing bioadhesive bonding layer in composite pervaporation membranes for ethanol dehydration

A high performance composite membrane was prepared under the inspiration of bioadhesion principles for pervaporative dehydration of ethanol.Chitosan(CS)and polyacrylonitrile(PAN)ultrafiltration membranes were used as the active layer and the support layer,respectively.Guar gum(GG),a natural bioadhesive,was introduced as the intermediate bonding layer to improve the separation performance and stability of the fabricated CS/GG/PAN composite membranes.The contact angle of the GG layer was just between those of the CS layer and the PAN layer,minimizing the difference of hydrophilicity between the active layer and the support layer.The peeling strength of the composite membrane was significantly enhanced after the introduction of the GG layer.The effects of preparation conditions and operation conditions including GG concentration,operating temperature and ethanol concentration in feed on the pervaporation performance were investigated.The as-fabricated CS/GG/PAN composite membrane showed the optimum performance with a permeation flux of up to804 g·m-2·h-1and a separation factor higher than 1900.Besides,the composite membranes exhibited a desirable long-term operational stability.

Separation performance of horizontal and vertical polyethersulfone hollow fiber UF modules

The effect of hollow fiber module positions （ horizontal and vertical） on separation performance for PVA solution by using polyethersulfone （PES） hollow fiber ultrafiltration （UF） membrane with the molecular weight cut-off （MWCO） 30 000 has been discussed. Experimental results illustrated that the suitable operation conditions for PVA solution were as follows： trans-membrane pressure 2.1 bar, solution temperature 75℃ and feed velocity 0.32 m/s. Under these suitable operation conditions, the permeate flux is from 36.8 L/（m^2 ·h·bar） to 42.9 L/（m^2 ·h·bar） for the horizontal module and from 39.8 L/（m^2 ·h·bar） to 66.6 L/（m^2 ·h·bar） for the vertical module. Besides, the Separation performance of PES hollow fiber UF membrane was better by using vertical hollow fiber module than by using horizontal hollow fiber module. When the trans-membrane pressure increased from 1 bar to 2.1 bar, solution temperature from 50 ℃ to 75 ℃, feed solution velocity from 0.16 m/s to 0.32 m/s, the PVA rejection would increase from 95.8% to 99.7%, 95.4 96 to 98.6 %, 95.8 96 to 99.2 96 for horizontal module respectively, and from 98.8 96 to 99.8 %, 98.6 96 to 99.4 96, 98.5 96 to 99.4 96 for vertical module respectively. Therefore, PVA rejection in PES hollow fiber UF process was more than 98.5 96 for vertical module, and it is suitable for PVA recovery from wastewater.

Comparison of Interfacial and Foaming Properties of Soy and Whey Protein Isolates

A comparative study on the foaming properties and behavior at the air-water interface of soy and whey protein isolates were made, Foams were obtained by the method of gas bubbling. The initial rate of passage of liquid to the foam （vi） and the maximum volume of liquid incorporated to the foam （VLEmax） were determined. The destabilization process of the formed foams was analyzed by a biphasic second order equation. Measurements of equilibrium surface tension （water/air） and surface rheological properties were carried out in a dynamic drop tensiometer. The foaming capacity （vi and VLEmax） and the stability of foams prepared with the whey protein isolates （WPI） were better than those formulated with the soy protein isolates （SPI）. WPI foams were more stable showing the lower values of rate constants of gravity drainage and disproportion. There were significant differences （P 〈 0.05） in the dilatational modulus in the surface rheology measurements, which were higher at the interface with WPI, implying greater resistance of the film formed to collapse and disproportion. In conclusion, WPI formed better and more stable foams than the SPI.

Separation of diaspore from bauxite by selective flocculation using hydrolyzed polyacrylamide

Selective flocculation is a new method to solve the problem of China's bauxite de-silication besides flotation and reverse flotation. The method of selective flocculation of bauxite using hydrolyzed polyacrylamide as flocculant was experimented and evaluated. The results of diaspore and kaolinite single mineral settling tests show that the difference between settlement yield of kaolinite(settling 15 min) and diaspore(settling 3 min) increases from 16% to 60% by adding flocculant at pH=7. Results of selective flocculation experiment of bauxite show that the higher concentrate grade(65.75) and Al-Si ratio(7.34) could be obtained with sodium carbonate as dispersant compared with sodium hexametaphosphate; under the action of flocculating agent, the concentrate grade and Al-Si ratio increase to 67.99 and 9.01. These results could meet the requirements of Bayer production, and the simpler process was expected to cost far less than traditional flotation method and a promising de-silication method of bauxite.

Orientation and Structure of Ionic Liquid Cation at Air/[bmim][BF4] Aqueous Solution Interface

The watermiscible room temperature ionic liquid 1butyl3methylimidazolium tetrafluorob orate （[bmim] [BF4]） is a model system for studying the interactions between ionic liquid and water molecules. In this work the orientational structure of the low concentrated aqueous solution of [bmim] [BF4] at the air/liquid interface was investigated by sum frequency gener ation vibrational spectroscopy. It has been found that at very low concentrations, the butyl chain exhibited a significant gauche defect, indicating a disordered conformation; and the cation ring oriented with a fairly small tilting angle at the surface. When the concentration increased, the cation ring tended to lie flat at the surface, and the gauche defects of the butyl chain decreased due to the intermolecular chainchain interactions and the consequent more ordered interfacial molecular arrangement. Additionally, the antisymmetric stretching mode in the PPP and SPS spectra exhibited a peak shift, showing that there exists more than one kind of orientation or chemical environment for the butyl CH3 group. These results may shed new light on understanding the surface behavior of watermiscible ionic liquids as well as the imidazolium based surfactants.

However, the improved TLC is much more efficient for the detection of amino acid. The main advantage of this method is that the detection of amino acids can be preformed visually.

Phenotypic and Genotypic Comparison of Vibrio in Seawater Fish from Batam and Mataram, Indonesia

Grouper and snapper are the potential fishery commodity in Indonesia with a high economic value, as well as an export commodity. A common disease in grouper and snapper aquaculture is vibriosis. Vibriosis is a disease caused by bacteria of the genus Vibrio. The aim of study was to compare between phenotypic and genotypic identification of Vibrio isolated from Batam and Mataram, Indonesia. Bacteria were isolated from anterior kidney and eye of fish, then grown in thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose （TCBS） and incubated in room temperature （25-28 ~C） for 24 h, and identified using morphology and biochemical test. Bacterial isolates were extracted, amplified and sequenced on 16S rRNA region. Phylogenetic tree of bacteria was constructed using neighbor-joining and maximum-parsimony methods. The phenotypic identification was found six isolates of Vibrio from Batam, such as K alginolyticus, V. carchariae, K damselae, V. fluvialis, V. furnissii and K parahaemolyticus. Three isolates were found from Mataram, such as 1I. alginolyticus, V. carchariae and V. fluvialis. Blast analysis showed isolates of V. alginolyticus_btm and V. carchariae_btm homolog to V. parahaemolyticus strain DAHMV3; isolates of V. damselae_btm and K alginolyticus_mtr homolog to V. neocaledonicus strain MS1; isolates of V. parahaemolyticus__btm and V. furnisii_btm homolog with Photobacterium damselae subsp, damselae strain： 04Ya311 and isolate of K fluvialis_mtr homolog to V. azureus strain MMRF532, respectively. All phenotypic identification was not supported by molecular identification on 16S rRNA region. It was suggested that phenotypic identification should be supported by molecular examination, especially in identification of Vibrio species.
