低膨胀高温合金晶粒长大规律及对其性能的影响

本工作研究了不同热处理制度对低膨胀高温合金析出相的行为以及晶粒长大的影响。实验结果表明,在Laves相析出峰温度范围（980～990℃）保温不同时间,Laves相尺寸逐渐增大,晶粒不长大。在1000～1040℃保温1 h后Laves相开始溶解,晶粒逐渐长大至4级、3.5级、3级、2级,因此在热加工过程中为避免晶粒长大,热变形加热温度不应超过1010℃,或在1000℃变形且保温时间不应超过1 h。晶界Laves相的含量对合金性能影响较小,而合金的晶粒度对其影响较大。     

Lemon oil solubilization in mixed surfactant solutions: Rationalizing microemulsion & nanoemulsion formation

Lipophilic functional ingredients are usually incorporated into aqueous-based foods and beverages in the form of colloidal dispersions. In this study, we investigated the rate and extent of solubilization of emulsified lemon oil in mixed non-ionic surfactant solutions (buffer: propylene glycol = 2:1): sucrose monopalmitate (SMP) and/or Tween 80 (T80). The influence of surfactant concentration, type, and mixing ratio on lemon oil solubilization was investigated, with the aim of identifying suitable conditions for preparing stable microemulsions and nanoemulsions. Solubilization was monitored by measuring changes in light scattering by lemon oil droplets after they were dispersed in surfactant solutions (pH 7). The solubilization process was rapid (<few minutes), with the rate increasing with increasing surfactant concentration. For a particular surfactant type and concentration, lemon oil was transferred from nanoemulsion droplets into microemulsion droplets until a critical lemon oil concentration (C_sat) was reached, after which it remained as nanoemulsion droplets. The value of C_sat increased with increasing surfactant concentration and was higher for SMP than Tween 80. The impact of storage at pH 3.5 on the physical stability of microemulsions and nanoemulsions was examined. Acid stable colloidal dispersions could not be formed using SMP alone. However, relatively stable nanoemulsions and microemulsions could be formed when ≥75 or 50 wt% Tween 80 was incorporated into the surfactant phase, respectively. This study provides important information for the rational design of food-grade colloidal delivery systems for encapsulating and delivering functional lipids for food and beverage applications.     

Synthesis of mesoporous ZnS synergistically templated by butylamine and alkanols

Pore size and pore volume adjustable mesoporous ZnS was synthesized through a co-template method, which was achieved by the combined interaction between butylamine and some alkanols with proper lengths of the straight carbon chain. The pore size for mesoporous ZnS templated by butyl amine alone was 4.29 nm, and could be enlarged to 6.96 and 8.33 nm respectively through adding certain amounts of hexanol and octanol. Correspondingly, the pore volume also exhibited an augmentation with increasing carbon chain lengths of alkanols from C₆ to C₈. However, the pore size and pore volume dropped abruptly when decanol was added as the auxiliary agent. The formation of mesopores for ZnS prepared using butylamine molecules as the only templating agent is considered to be attributed to the coordination between N atoms in amines and Zn²⁺ ions at the surfaces of zinc suphide. The templating effect of butylamines might be improved by adding hexanols and octanols to form aggregates through solubilization to tailor the pore size and pore volume of ZnS effectively, while the function of decanols for changing the porous structure is restricted by its low solubility.

Interaction of Iodine with 2-Hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin and Its Bactericidal Activity

ABSTRACT

To obtain an effective iodine solution, the use of 2-hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin (2-HP-α-CD) as solubilizer was examined in comparison with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), potassium iodide (KI), and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The stability constants for inclusion of iodine with cyclodextrin and KI were ascertained by the solubility method. The apparent stability constants increased in the following order: KI<β-CD<α-CD<2-HP-α-CD. This order was nearly in accordance with that of the stabilization ability. The largest volatile depression effect was exhibited by 2HP-α-CD. The measurement of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MC) using Escherichia coli NIH-J-2 and Staphylococcus aureus FDA209P suggested that the bactericidal activity of the iodine/2-HP-α-CD system was the same as that of the iodine/α-CD, iodine/β-CD, and iodine/PVP systems. The present results suggest that the combination of 2-HP-α-CD and iodine is useful for a stable and effective iodine solution.     

Effects of Grinding with Microcrystalline Cellulose and Cyclodextrins on the Ketoprofen Physicochemical Properties

Ground mixtures of ketoprofen (KETO) with native crystalline β-cyclodextrin, amorphous statistically substituted methyl-β-cyclodextrin, and microcrystalline cellulose were investigated for both solid phase characterization (differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) powder X-ray diffractometry, and infrared (IR) spectrometry) and dissolution properties (dispersed amount and rotating disk methods) to evaluate the role of the carrier on the performance of the final product. The effects of different grinding conditions, partial sample dehydration, and 1 year storage at room temperature were also investigated. The results pointed out the importance of the carrier nature on the efficiency of the cogrinding process. Both cyclodextrins were much more effective than was microcrystalline cellulose, even though no true inclusion complex formation occurred by mechanochemical activation. The best results were obtained from ground mixtures with methyl-β-cyclodextrin, which showed the best amorphizing and solubilizing power toward the drug and permitted an increase of approximately 100 times its intrinsic dissolution rate constant, in comparison with the approximate 10 times increase obtained from ground mixtures with β-cyclodextrin.     

Physicochemical Investigation of Biocompatible Mixed Surfactant Reverse Micelles: III. Aqueous NaCl Solubilization, Thermodynamic Parameters of Desolubilization Process and Conductometric Studies

Solubilization of water and aqueous NaCl in mixed reverse micelles (RMs) comprising sodium bis(2‐ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT), and polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan trioleate or polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate has been studied at different compositions (X_nonionic = 0–1.0) at a total surfactant concentration, S_T = 0.10 × 10³ mol m^?3 in biocompatible oils of different chemical structures; viz., ethyl oleate (EO), isopropyl myristate (IPM) and isopropyl palmitate (IPP) at 303 K. The enhancement in water solubilization (i.e., synergism) has been evidenced by the addition of nonionic surfactant to dioctyl sulfosuccinate/oil(s)/water systems. Addition of NaCl in these systems at different X_nonionic enhances their solubilization capacities further until a maximum, ω_NaCl,max is reached. ω_NaCl,max and [NaCl]_max (concentration at which maximization of NaCl solubilization occurs) depend on type of nonionic surfactant, its content (X_nonionic) and oil. A new solubilization efficiency parameter (SP*_water or SP*_NaCl) has been proposed to compare solubilization phenomena in these oils. The energetic parameters of the desolubilization process of water or aqueous NaCl in single and mixed RMs have been estimated. Energetically, the water dissolution process in oil has been found to be more exothermic as well as more organized in IPP. Overall, the dissolution of water and aqueous NaCl in mixed RMs is entropically driven process. Conductance behavior of these systems in the presence of NaCl has been investigated under different [NaCl] at 303 K. An attempt has been made to give an insight to the mechanism of solubilization phenomena, percolation in conductance and microstructures vis‐à‐vis role of biocompatible oils in these systems.

Combined Ozone Pretreatment and Anaerobic Digestion for the Reduction of Biological Sludge Production in Wastewater Treatment

The ever-increasing amount of solid waste generated by wastewater treatment plants highlights emerging economic and environmental issues. In order to develop new processes producing less sludge, the use of ozone combined with anaerobic digestion was investigated for waste activated sludge treatment. This paper was aimed at evaluating the impact of ozone pretreatment on anaerobic digestion and particularly the enhancement of biogas production. Sludge solubilization was estimated in terms of modification of chemical oxygen demand, solids and nitrogen. Batch anaerobic digestion highlighted the enhancement of ozonated sludge biodegradability. Ozonation led to an increase in biogas production. The ozone dose of 0.15 g O₃/g total solids resulted in a considerable increase in the soluble COD ratio from 4% to 37%. This ozone dose achieved the highest increase in biogas production: 2.4 times greater than without chemical pretreatment.     

表面活性剂L-113A增溶能力的测定

采用分光光度法研究高分子表面活性剂L-113A的增溶能力，用一定量的表面活性剂将苯增溶在水中，当体系中苯的含量超过表面活性剂的增溶极限时，便产生浑浊，溶液光密度迅速增大，由此来测定表面活性剂的增溶能力。由实验得出：在溶液含苯量最小时就已经超过了表面活性剂的增溶极限，因此表面活性剂L-113A几乎没有增溶能力。
