基于拉曼光谱的复杂硫化矿快速分类方法研究

热液硫化物型脉状矿作为一类复杂硫化矿,其区域特征、成矿规律及矿物成份已有初步研究。由于成矿时期的不同,矿石中有用矿物的特征存在较大差异,导致不同矿物的性质变化较大。在选矿过程中,矿物性质的差异一定程度增加了选矿难度,减少了有用矿物回收率。因此,迫切需要一种快速、简单的对复杂硫化矿进行分类的方法,进而提高选矿指标。激光拉曼光谱技术作为一种能够分析物质结构信息的手段,已被应用于矿物的成份鉴定和结构分析。通过对大量矿物样本的激光拉曼光谱的研究,结合矿物性质深入揭示其光谱差异的原因,提出了一种基于拉曼光谱的复杂硫化矿矿源分类方法。实验结果表明：由于此类复杂硫化矿成矿时期的差异,从而造成矿物结构和性质存在较大差异。荧光主要由原矿中的脉石矿物产生,猝灭矿物中瞒石的荧光背景后可知201.62, 242.54, 288.38和309.77 cm-1处拉曼峰可以作为此类硫化矿的拉曼指纹谱。为此,基于此类硫化矿的荧光强度和代表谱峰强度与荧光背景比值可以将矿源分为三类,并利用工业试验结果进一步验证分类方法的准确性。本研究深入分析了此类复杂硫化矿的激光拉曼光谱与其矿物性质与类别之间的密切关系,提出了矿源快速分类方法,矿样无需经过复杂的化学前处理过程,对提高选矿作业效率具有重要应用价值。

Application of ultrasound technology in the drying of food products

This study presents a state-of-the-art overview on the application of ultrasound technology in the drying of food products, including the ultrasound pre-treatment and ultrasound assisted drying. The effect of main parameters and ultrasound technology on the drying kinetics and food quality were discussed. Inconsistencies were pointed out and analyzed in detail. Results showed that for ultrasound pre-treatment, the food products may lose or gain water and increase of ultrasonic parameters (sonication time, amplitude and ultrasound power) promoted the water loss or water gain. When ultrasound technology was applied prior to drying, an increase in drying kinetics was always observed, though some different results were also presented. For ultrasound assisted drying, the ultrasound power always gave a positive effect on the drying process, however, the magnitude of ultrasound improvement was largely dependent on the process variables, such as air velocity, air temperature, microwave power and vacuum pressure, etc. The application of ultrasound technology will somehow affect the food quality, including the physical and chemical ones. Generally, the ultrasound application can decrease the water activity, improve the product color and reduce the nutrient loss.     

Application of power ultrasound in freezing and thawing Processes: Effect on process efficiency and product quality

Freezing is one of the most efficient preservation approaches applied to food products and thawing is the reverse process of freezing. However, traditional freezing / thawing methods have low process efficiency. The application of ultrasound is a potential supplementary technique to improve the performance of both freezing and thawing processes of foods. Application of power ultrasound is able to better maintain the microstructure, reduce drip loss, decrease color and texture changes and retain some natural nutrients of foods during freezing. Meanwhile, quality improvement is also observed in food items thawed by ultrasound-assisted thawing methods. The fundamentals and the influences of ultrasound on the freezing and thawing processes of foods are demonstrated in this review article, from the aspects of efficiency enhancement and quality improvement.     

High-power ultrasound as pre-treatment in different stages of soymilk manufacturing process to increase the isoflavone content

Ultrasound (US) was applied as a pre-treatment in hydrated soybeans (HSB) and soybean slurry (SBS) during soymilk elaboration process to evaluate the feasibility of increasing the isoflavone content (IC) in the resultant soymilk. A predictive model and optimum US processing conditions were obtained by response surface methodology (RSM) using a three-level-three-factor Box-Behnken statistical design (BBD) in which US amplitude (50, 75, and 100%), temperature (30, 45, and 60 °C), and time (20, 40, and 60 min) were selected as independent variables. Most of the US treatments applied in the HSB or SBS caused a significant increase (3–62%) in the total IC of the obtained soymilks over the control soymilk (6.97 mg/100 mL). However, the IC of the resultant soymilks from sonicated HSB (11.38 mg/100 mL) was significantly higher than that in soymilk prepared from US-treated SBS (8.66 mg/100 mL). Experimental data were fitted into a 2nd-order-polynomial model and processing parameters were optimized (100% amplitude, 30 °C, 20 min) to get the highest predicted and experimental IC, 11.38 and 12.8 mg/100 mL, respectively. These results indicated that US is a potential technology that could be implemented during soymilk manufacturing processing as pre-treatment of HSB to obtain soymilk with high isoflavone content and consequently better functionality.     

Various aspects of ultrasound assisted emulsion polymerization process

In this paper, the effects of ultrasonic (US) power, pulse ratio, probe area and recipe composition were investigated on two process responses namely, monomer (methyl methacrylate, MMA) conversion and electrical energy consumption per mass of product polymer (PMMA). Pulsed mode US is more suitable than continuous mode US for emulsion polymerization. The probe (tip) area has little effect on the yield of polymerization when comparing 19 and 13 mm probes, 13 mm probe performing slightly better for high conversion levels. Meanwhile, large probe area is beneficial for high conversion efficiency of electric energy to US energy as well as for high radical generation yield per energy consumed. The conversion increased slightly and electrical energy consumption decreased substantially by using a recipe with high SDS and monomer concentrations. Conclusions presented in this paper may be useful for scale-up of US assisted emulsion polymerization.     

Application of ultrasound in preparing pathological sections to reduce processing time

It has been found experimentally that application of sub-mega and low megahertz ultrasound (US) of spatial and temporal averaged intensity I_sata up to 10 W/cm² during the process of preparing pathological sections of the mouse tissue has shortened the processing time from 12 h (without US) to less than half an hour (with US). The experiment has also showed that the processing time reached the shortest for ultrasound f = 200 kHz among the frequencies of 200 kHz, 400 kHz, 600 kHz, 800 kHz and 1 MHz used in this study. It has been proposed that ultrasound inducing non-inertial cavitation enhanced the permeability of cell membrane to liquid. Thus tissue fixation and dehydration were speeded up by application of US.     

Alternate pulses of ultrasound and electricity enhanced electrochemical process for p-nitrophenol degradation

A novel alternated ultrasonic and electric pulse enhanced electrochemical process was developed and used for investigating its effectiveness on the degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) in an aqueous solution. The impacts of pulse mode, pH, cell voltage, supporting electrolyte concentration, ultrasonic power and the initial concentration of PNP on the performance of PNP degradation were evaluated. Possible pathway of PNP degradation in this system was proposed based on the intermediates identified by GC–MS. Experimental results showed that 94.1% of PNP could be removed at 2 h in the dual-pulse ultrasound enhanced electrochemical (dual-pulse US-EC) process at mild operating conditions (i.e., pulse mode of electrochemical pulse time (T_EC) = 50 ms and ultrasonic pulse time (T_US) = 100 ms, initial pH of 3.0, cell voltage of 10 V, Na₂SO₄ concentration of 0.05 M, ultrasonic powder of 48.8 W and initial concentration of PNP of 100 mg/L), compared with 89.0%, 58.9%, 2.4% in simultaneous ultrasound enhanced electrochemical (US-EC) process, pulsed electrochemical (EC) process and pulsed ultrasound (US), respectively. Moreover, energy used in the dual-pulse US-EC process was reduced by 50.4% as compared to the US-EC process. The degradation of PNP in the pulsed EC process, US-EC process and dual-pulse process followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. Therefore, the dual-pulse US-EC process was found to be a more effective technique for the degradation of PNP and would have a promising application in wastewater treatment.     

A new reactor for process intensification involving the simultaneous application of adjustable ultrasound and microwave radiation

Ultrasound (US) and Microwaves (MW) are effective methods for processes intensification. Their combined use in the same reactor can lead to remarkable results. Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in this field for new synthetic applications using reactors based upon existing technologies. We describe here a new type of apparatus in which the thermal energy is continuously removed from the system making possible the use of high power and adjustable ultrasonic and microwave densities throughout the process. The installation consists of a glass reactor located in a monomode applicator which is immersed at the same time in an ultrasonic device which can be operated at different frequencies and powers. A liquid, transparent to microwaves, was used to couple ultrasonic energy to the reactor and to remove the heat generated. Comsol software was used to get information about the distribution of ultrasonic and microwave energy between the reactor liquid and the coupling fluid. The performance was assessed using the conversion of p-nitrophenol into 4-nitrocatechol as a chemical dosimeter and a transesterification.
