Hop bitter acids inhibit carbohydrate metabolism,enhance biogenic amine metabolism and alter L-malic acid,glutamic acid and arginine metabolism of Lactobacillus brevis 49

Beer contains only limited amounts of readily fermentable carbohydrates and amino acids. Beer spoilage lactic acid bacteria have to come up with metabolic strategies in order to deal with selective nutrient content. The research was performed to investigate the influence of iso-α-acids on the metabolism of organic acids, biogenic amines (BAs), off-flavour compounds, carbohydrates and amino acids of Lactobacillus brevis 49. Only glyoxylic acid and ethyl formate in de man, rogosa, sharpe broth was consumed, and multiple organic acids, BAs and off-flavour compounds were produced. By supplementing a series of concentrations of hop iso-α-acids, consumption of L-malic acid, glutamic acid and arginine and generation of BAs were found benefit for bacteria to develop hop-resistance. In the metabolism of carbohydrates, glucose was preferred over maltose and maltriose, and hops significantly inhibited the utilisation of carbohydrates. The results provide comprehensive information of metabolites of L. brevis 49 under various concentrations of hop stress.

市政污泥与水泥生料混合热重及动力学分析

为研究水泥窑协同处置市政污泥的燃烧动力学特性,采用热重分析方法分别对市政污泥、煤和水泥生料及三者混合样品进行热动力学分析,求解了反应活化能和机理函数。结果表明:市政污泥燃烧有4个阶段,有机物分解和部分挥发分析出阶段活化能为69.87 kJ/mol、机理函数为(-ln(1-α))~4,剩余挥发分析出和固定碳燃尽阶段活化能为78.94 kJ/mol、机理函数为(-ln(1-α))~3;煤和水泥生料热重分析过程分为煤燃烧和生料分解2个阶段,反应活化能分别为43.58、118.21 kJ/mol,机理函数分别为(1-α)~(-1)-1、((1+α)~(1/3)-1)~2;市政污泥替代20%煤后,第1阶段活化能基本不变,机理函数由(1-α)~(-1)-1变为(1-2α/3)-(1-α)~(2/3),反应机理由"化学反应"变为"圆柱对称型三维扩散",第2阶段活化能降低,机理函数表达式由((1+α)~(1/3)-1)~2变为((1+α)~(-1/3)-1)~2,反应机理不变。

非连续采空区矿柱力学分析的数值模拟

为探讨非连续采空区矿柱力学原理，通过FLAC3D数值模拟技术，对下向水平分层进路式胶结充填采矿法开采形成的非连续采空区中矿柱的受力状态进行了分析。研究表明，非连续采空区中矿柱所受的力主要为覆岩的自重应力，水平应力对其影响不大；随着埋深的增加矿柱承受的垂直方向的力近似呈直线增加；随着非连续采空区跨度的增加（进路数量增加），非连续采空区受垂直方向的应力逐渐由围岩两侧向矿柱中间过渡。
