The composite membranes were featured with an asymmetric three-layer structure, i.e., a porous ceramic membrane substrate, a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration sub-layer, and a polyamide/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite thin top-layer. The PVDF polymer was east onto the tubular porous ceramic membranes with an immersion precipitation method, and the polyamide/PVA composite thin top-layer was fabricated with an inteffaeial polymerization method. The effects of the sub-layer composition and the recipe in the inteffaeial polymerization for fabricating the top-layer on the structure and performance of composite membranes were systematically investigated. The prepared composite membranes showed a good performance for treating the O/W microemulsions with a mean diameter of about 2.41μm. At the operating pressure of 0.4MPa, the hydraulic permeability remained steadily about 190L·m^-2·h^-1, the oil concentration in the permeate was less than 1.6mg·L^-1, and the oil rejection coefficient was always higher than 98.5% throughout the operation from the beginning.展开更多

Lantibiotic nisin is not conunonly used in the meat industry, in spite of its beneficial effect in e.g. dairy industry. Theretbre, here, the effect of nisin was searched in traditional fermented sausage Gombasek experimentally contaminated with Listeria innocua Lil strata Ihe antimicrobial effect of nisin was demonstrated by the Lil strain decrease at day 2 (after contamination) with the difference 1.79 logarithmic (log) cycles comparing with the control sausage (CLi). At week l, the difference 4.14 log cycles was noted in the experimental sausages comparing with CLi sausages with prolonging inhibitory effect up to week 2; although the difference was diminished (1.82 log cycles); but higher than at day 2, The pH values as well as lactic acid values were not influenced by the nisin treatment (pH value in the reference sausage was 5.0, in CLi 5.7 and in the experimental sausage E, 5.1; amount of lactic acid in t: was 0.099 mmol L^-1: and in CLi 0.107 mmol L^-1).展开更多

Experimental results showed an average elimination capacity(EC)of 220 g·m3·h -1with removal efficiency(RE) of 89.59%for BTX inlet concentration of 1 g·m3at 15 s gas residence time in the bioreactor.The statistical developed model predicted that the maximum elimination capacity of the reactor for BTX could be reached to 423.45 g·m3·h -1.Continues operation of the bioreactor with high EC and RE was demonstrated by optimizing the operational parameters of the bioreactor.Overall the results suggest that the bioreactor developed can be very effective systems to treat BTX vapors.展开更多
