The metal oxide precursor molecules around P123 micellized, and self-assembly simultaneously occurred during evaporation from an ethanol solution at 60 °C, leading to the formation of the p6 mm hexagonal symmetry mesoporous structure. Characterization results prove that the Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 adsorbents possess an ordered mesoporous structure with high thermal stability, large surface area(386–226 m2/g), large pore volume(0.60–0.46 cm3/g), and good dispersion of ZnO and Cu, which is beneficial for transforming S-compounds to ZnO. The sulfur saturation capacity of the ordered-mesoporous-structure Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 adsorbents is larger(49.4 mg/g) than that of the unordered mesoporous structure(13.5 mg/g).展开更多

Aqueous solutions of glyoxylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, pyrnvic acid, malonic acid and glutaric acid were used as model feed. For a feed of 1% (mass fraction), each acid could be enriched for 8--20 times, which depended on the surface tension of the concentrate. The operation performance of MEMD process was characterized by permeation flux J, performance ratio PR and acid rejection rate R. The effects of cold feed-in temperature, heated feed-in temperature, feed-in volumetric flow rate and feed-in concen- tration on MEMD performance were experimentally evaluated. Maximum values of J, PR and R were 4.8 L/(h-m2), 9.84 and 99.93%, respectively. Moreover, MEMD process demonstrated a fairly good stability in a long-term experiment lasting for 30 d when aqueous solution of 4% (mass fraction) lactic acid was used as a feed.展开更多

In this work, the potential of MD to reduce solvent in the polyphenol rich propolis extract was further investigated. Polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) membranes were engineered with the smaller pore size for the less hydrophobic surface in order to avoid wetting, allowing only the solvent vapor to be transferred from the warm feed into the cold permeate. All the membranes exhibited more than 95% rejection of phenolic and flavonoid compounds. Although the hydrophilic membranes exhibited less fouling, they displayed a lower flux than the hydrophobic membrane due to the hindrance in the wetted pores. The hydrophobic membrane was seriously fouled by the phenolic acid as shown in the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum. Pore plugging occurred on these hydrophobic membranes as confirmed in the scanning electron microscope images.展开更多

Green copper arsenite was prepared after copper sulfate was added into the neutralized wastewater when the molar ratio of Cu to As was 2:1 and pH value of the neutralized wastewater was adjusted to 8.0 by sodium hydroxide. The arsenious acid solution and red residue were produced after copper arsenite mixed with water according to the ratio of liquid to solid of 4:1 and copper arsenite was reduced by SO2 at 60℃ for 1 h. The white powder was gained after the arsenious acid solution was evaporated and cooled. Copper sulfate solution was obtained after the red residue was leached by H2SO4 solution under the action of air. The results show that red residue is Cu3(SO3)2·2H2O and the white powder is As2O3. The leaching rate of Cu reaches 99.00% when the leaching time is 1.5 h, molar ratio of H2SO4 to Cu is 1.70, H2SO4 concentration is 24% and the leaching temperature is 80 ℃. The direct recovery rate of copper sulfate is 79.11% and the content of CuSOa·5H2O is up to 98.33% in the product after evaporating and cooling the copper sulfate solution.展开更多

Underevaporation conditions, ions moving upward with fresh groundwater were mainly Cl ̄-, SO, Ca ̄(2+), andNa ̄+. When the mineralized groundwater took part in the salt accumulation, the ionic composition in soilswas close to that in ground water supplemented. Under rainfall infiltration conditions, the salt-leaching roleoccurred mainly in the top soil. With the decrease of total salt content, NO and Cl ̄- reduced rapidly, SOdecreased slowly, but HCO had a little change only. Among cations, Na ̄+ and Ca ̄(2+) contents lowered atthe same speed, and Mg ̄(2+) decreased slowly.展开更多

The solvent was allowed to evaporate after which the various entrapments were determined; the best entrapment was used in the in vivo studies to determine the bioavailability and efficacy. This study was done with albino mice. The best entrapment obtained was 83% with a loading capacity of 2.9% (Batch D) and was used in comparison with the unformulated drug to check for the in vivo efficacy. The results show higher efficacy with the formulated drug than with the pure drug both in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro test results were better despite that some enzymes which need to act on the solid lipid microparticles were not present in the in vitro assay and could lead to a reduction in the release of the drugs. In conclusion, there was improvement in efficacy, and hence bioavailability.展开更多

The results show that,a lower surface free energy with shell polyester is more favourable for the formation of microcapsules. Full encapsulating microcapsules are synthesized with the polyester with a surface free energy of 34.5 mJ/m2. Shell-to-core feeding mass ratio has a significant influence on the morphology and core content of the resulting microcapsules. Well defined spherical microcapsules with uniform shell thickness and core content at around 22% are produced at a shell-to-core mass ratio of 1:1. When 2.5% of colloid stabilizer is used,hollow spherical microcapsules are obtained. A high solvent evaporation rate results in wrinkling and porosity of the microcapsules,and an evaporation rate equivalent to solvent elimination in about 2 h provides a uniform rate of surface hardening. The characterization of the microcapsules by SEM and FTIR demonstrates that polyfunctional aziridine is encapsulated at the centre of the microcapsule. The microcapsules synthesized can be broken at a high shear rate.展开更多

The results show that in the profile of whole silty loam soil, the surface runoff volume due to precipitation and the salt-leaching role of infiltrated precipitation increased with the depth of ground water; and in the profile with an intercalated bed of clay or with a thick upper layer of clay, the amount of surface runoff was greater but the salt-leaching role of precipitation was smaller than those in the profile of whole silty loam soil. In case of soil water being supplemented by precipitation, the evaporation of groundwater in the soil columns reduced, resulting in a great decline of salt accumulation from soil profile to surface soil. The effect of precipitation on the water regime of soil profile was performed via both water infiltration and water pressure transfer. The direct infiltration depth of precipitation was less than 1 m in general, but water pressure transfer could go up to groundwater surface directly.展开更多

Films are frequently used as coatings, and as such directly influence the quality of the medicine. The optimization of processing conditions for sodium alginate films was investigated using response surface methodology. Single-factor tests and Box-Behnken experimental design were employed. WVP was selected as the response variable, and the operating parameters for the single-factor tests were sodium alginate concentration, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) concentration and CaClz solution immersion time. The coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.97, indicating statistical significance. A minimal WVP of 0.389 8 g-mm/(m^2.h.kPa) was achieved under the optimum conditions. These were found to be a sodium alginate concentration, CMC concentration and CaCl2 solution immersion time at 8.04%, 0.13%, and 12 min, respectively. This provides a reference for potential applications in manufacturing film-coated hard capsule shells.展开更多

The experimental results show that the sol particles size decreases with mass concentration first and then increase, sol viscosity increases with mass concentration during the concentrating process. The TEM method was used to study the dispersion behavior of sol particles, its result showed that sol particles dispersed more uniformly after concentrating process than before concentrating distinctly. It could be concluded that the disperse degree of alkaline silica sol could be increased by addition of right dispersant. The dispersion mechanism of dispersant in alkaline silica sol was also discussed.展开更多

The LSER-based vapor pressure model clarifies the simultaneous impact of the vapor pressure of a pure solvent estimated by the Xiang-Tan equation, the solubility and solvatochromic parameters of the solvent and the physical properties of the ionic salt. It has been performed independently two structural forms of the generalized solvation model, i.e. the unified solvation model with the integrated properties(USMIP) containing nine physical descriptors and the reduced property-basis solvation model. The vapor pressure data of fourteen(solvent + salt) systems have been processed to analyze statistically the reliability of existing models in terms of a log-ratio objective function. The proposed vapor pressure approaches reproduce the observed performance relatively accurately, yielding the overall design factors of 1.0643 and1.0702 for the integrated property-basis and reduced property-basis solvation models.展开更多
