Effect of power ultrasound on crystallization characteristics of magnesium ammonium phosphate

Magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) crystallization could be utilized for the recovery of phosphorus from wastewater. However, the effectiveness of the recovery is largely determined by the crystallization process, which is very hard to be directly observed. As a result, a specific ultrasonic device was designed to investigate the crystallization characteristics of MAP under various ultrasonic conditions. The results demonstrated that the metastable zone width (MZW) narrowed along with the rising of the ultrasonic power. Similarly, for the 6 mM MAP solution, with the ultrasonic power gradually enhanced from 0 W to 400 W, the induction time was shortened from 340 s to 38 s. Meanwhile, the crystallization rate was accelerated till the power reached 350 W, and then remained a constant value. It can be observed from the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the MAP crystal became bigger in size as well as the crystal size distribution (CSD) became broad and uneven, with the increase of ultrasonic power. The results indicate that the crystallization process enhanced by power ultrasound could be used as an effective method to eliminate and recover the phosphorus from wastewater.     

Formulation of poorly water-soluble Gemfibrozil applying power ultrasound

The dissolution properties of a drug and its release from the dosage form have a basic impact on its bioavailability. Solubility problems are a major challenge for the pharmaceutical industry as concerns the development of new pharmaceutical products. Formulation problems may possibly be overcome by modification of particle size and morphology. The application of power ultrasound is a novel possibility in drug formulation. This article reports on solvent diffusion and melt emulsification, as new methods supplemented with drying in the field of sonocrystallization of poorly water-soluble Gemfibrozil. During thermoanalytical characterization, a modified structure was detected. The specific surface area of the drug was increased following particle size reduction and the poor wettability properties could also be improved. The dissolution rate was therefore significantly increased.     

Effect of UV irradiation on the structural,optical and electrical properties of platinum

Investigations are performed on thermal, optical and electrical response of UV laser-irradiated platinum (Pt). 4N pure, annealed and fine polished samples are exposed to the KrF Excimer laser (248 nm, 20 ns, 50 mJ) under vacuum ～10^?6 torr at different laser fluences (0.5–2.5 J/cm²). Space-resolved plasma plume dynamics is studied by analyzing the captured plume images with the help of a computer controlled image-grabbing system. The irradiated targets are characterized for surface morphology, structural, optical and electrical investigations using the diagnostics; scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, rotating compensator auto-aligned ellipsometer and four-point probe, respectively. The value of maximum intensity emitted by Pt plasma plume is 250 grey scales. Surfaces of the target metals are modified by craters, moltens and redeposited material. Laser-induced periodic surface structures are produced at low laser fluence. Irradiation of Pt causes changes in diffracted X-rays intensity and grain sizes, dislocation in line densities and strain in the target materials. Considerable changes occur in optical parameters as well. A decrease in electrical conductivity of the irradiated targets also takes place in an exponential way with the change in laser fluence.     

Influence of ultrasound power and frequency upon corrosion kinetics of zinc in saline media

This paper is devoted to zinc corrosion and oxidation mechanism in an ultrasonically stirred aerated sodium sulfate electrolyte. It follows a previous study devoted to the influence of 20 kHz ultrasound upon zinc corrosion in NaOH electrolytes [Ultrason. Sonochemis. 8 (2001) 291]. In the present work, various ultrasound regimes were applied by changing the transmitted power and the wave frequency (20 and 40 kHz). Unlike NaOH electrolyte which turns the zinc electrode into a passive state, Na₂SO₄ saline media induces soft corrosion conditions. This allows a study of the combined effects of ultrasonically modified hydrodynamic and mechanical damage (cavitation) upon the zinc corrosion process. A series of initial experiments were carried out so as to determine the transmitted power and to characterize mass transfer distribution in the electrochemical cell. Zinc corrosion and oxidation process were subsequently studied with respect to the vibrating parameters. When exposed to a 20 kHz ultrasonic field, and provided that the electrode is situated at a maximum mass transfer point, the corrosion rate reaches values six to eight times greater than in silent conditions. The zinc oxidation reaction, in the absence of competitive reduction reactions, is also activated by ultrasound (20 and 40 kHz) but probably through a different process of surface activation.     

Recent advances in applications of power ultrasound for petroleum industry

Power ultrasound, as an emerging green technology has received increasing attention of the petroleum industry. The physical and chemical effects of the periodic oscillation and implosion of acoustic cavitation bubbles can be employed to perform a variety of functions.

Finally, the challenges and outlook for industrial application of power ultrasound are discussed.     

Effects of power ultrasound on oxidation and structure of beef proteins during curing processing

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of power ultrasound intensity (PUS, 2.39, 6.23, 11.32 and 20.96 W cm⁻²) and treatment time (30, 60, 90 and 120 min) on the oxidation and structure of beef proteins during the brining procedure with 6% NaCl concentration. The investigation was conducted with an ultrasonic generator with the frequency of 20 kHz and fresh beef at 48 h after slaughter. Analysis of TBARS (Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) contents showed that PUS treatment significantly increased the extent of lipid oxidation compared to static brining (P < 0.05). As indicators of protein oxidation, the carbonyl contents were significantly affected by PUS (P < 0.05). SDS–PAGE analysis showed that PUS treatment increased protein aggregation through disulfide cross-linking, indicated by the decreasing content of total sulfhydryl groups which would contribute to protein oxidation. In addition, changes in protein structure after PUS treatment are suggested by the increases in free sulfhydryl residues and protein surface hydrophobicity. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) provided further information about the changes in protein secondary structures with increases in β-sheet and decreases in α-helix contents after PUS processing. These results indicate that PUS leads to changes in structures and oxidation of beef proteins caused by mechanical effects of cavitation and the resultant generation of free radicals.     

Predicting the viscosity and electrical conductivity of ionic liquids on the basis of theoretically calculated ionic volumes

Selected physical properties of the ionic liquids might be quantitatively predicted based on the volumes of the ions these systems are composed of. It is demonstrated that the ionic volumes calculated using relatively simple theoretical quantum chemistry methods can be utilised to estimate the viscosities and electrical conductivities of various commonly used ionic liquids. The fitting formulas of the exponential form are offered and their predictive usefulness is verified. The quality of such predictions is discussed on the basis of several ionic liquids involving [Tf₂N]^? and [BF₄]^? anions and 16 various cations. The dependence of the viscosity and electrical conductivity of the ionic liquids on the temperature is also investigated and the temperature-dependent equations are derived and compared to the experimentally measured values.
