Bioactive components,ABTS radical scavenging capacity and physical stability of orange,yellow and purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) powder processed by convection‐ or vacuum‐drying methods

This study aims to investigate the antioxidant properties and physical stability of convection‐ or vacuum‐dried orange, yellow and purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) powder upon room temperature storage at different relative humidity (RH) of 33%, 43%, 54% and 75% for 25 days. Both convection and vacuum‐dried samples had lower total phenolic content (TPC), anthocyanin content and antioxidant activity compared to the fresh samples. Vacuum‐dried powder retained higher antioxidant activity than convection‐dried powder. Storage of the powder at high RH of 75% resulted in apparent clump formation, which was likely attributed to the decrease of glass transition temperature (T_g). In general, purple sweet potato powder contained the highest TPC (255.0 mg GAE 100 g DW^?1) and antioxidant activity (1924.0 μmol TEAC 100 g DW^?1), while orange powder had the highest beta‐carotene content (127.2 mg 100 g DW^?1). Vacuum‐dried sweet potato powder, which has relatively higher antioxidant activity, could be a potential functional ingredient or natural colourant for the food industry.     

调频同步广播小功率多频直放站功放设计

由于遮挡等原因在调频同步广播覆盖不到某些区域,需要小功率发射机进行补点。尤其在隧道内,需要对多个频道信号进行补强。因此设计一种新型的小功率直放站,其可同时发射多频道信号。由于不同频道信号之间不可避免地会产生一定地互调,这对功放的线性度提出了较高的要求。本文设计了一种可基本满足多频道小功率直放站需要的线性功放,并且实际制作了实物。经过测试,实际输出功率≥2.5W,三阶互调抑制比≥40d Bc。     

Influence of the characteristics of a water-in-CO2 microemulsion on the separation of metal species

In this study, AOT [sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate] combined with fluorinated cosurfactant or alcohol was used to form a water-in-CO₂ (W/C) microemulsion. The amount of water uptake in the microemulsion was closely related to the PFPE-PO₄/AOT (P/A) ratio. The stability of the microemulsion decreased with the amount of water. Lower temperature and higher pressure stabilize W/C microemulsions. The extraction efficiencies of metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Pb, Zn), when this W/C microemulsion method was used, exceeded 90% (AOT + octanol). The efficiencies for the extraction of Eu, La, and Sr could exceed 94% (AOT + PFPE-PO₄) in sc-CO_2.     

Attrition of Victorian brown coal during drying in a fluidized bed

Analyzing the attrition of Victorian brown coal during air and steam fluidized bed drying, the change in particle size distribution over a range of initial moisture contents (60% to 0%) and residence times (0 to 60 minutes) was determined. Dried at a temperature of 130°C with a fluidization velocity 0.55 m/s and an initial particle size of 0.5–1.2 mm, both fluidization mediums show a shift in the particle size distribution between three and four minutes of fluidization, with a decrease in mean particle size from 665 µm to around 560 µm. Using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), the change in particle size has been attributed to the transition between bulk and non-freezable water (approximately 55% moisture loss) and can be linked to the removal of adhesion water, but not to fluidization effects. This is proved through the comparison of air fluidized bed drying, steam fluidized bed drying, and fixed bed drying—the fixed bed drying is being used to determine the particle size distribution as a function of drying. The results show the three drying methods produce similar particle size distributions, indicating that both fluidization and fluidization medium have no impact upon the particle size distribution at short residence times around ten minutes. The cumulative particle size distribution for air and steam fluidized bed dried coal has been modeled using the equation P_d = A₂ + (A₁ ? A₂)/(1 + (d/x₀)^p), with the resultant equations predicting the effects of moisture content on the particle size distribution. Analyzing the effect of longer residence times of 30 and 60 minutes, the particle size distribution for steam fluidized bed dried coal remains the same, while air fluidized bed dried coal has a greater proportion of smaller particles.

Crystal Structure and Elastic Properties of Hypothesized MAX Phase‐Like Compound (Cr2Hf)2Al3C3

The term “MAX phase” refers to a very interesting and important class of layered ternary transition‐metal carbides and nitrides with a novel combination of both metal and ceramic‐like properties that have made these materials highly regarded candidates for numerous technological and engineering applications. Using (Cr₂Hf)₂Al₃C₃ as an example, we demonstrate the possibility of incorporating more types of elements into a MAX phase while maintaining the crystallinity, instead of creating solid solution phases. The crystal structure and elastic properties of MAX phase‐like (Cr₂Hf)₂Al₃C₃ are studied using the Vienna ab initio Simulation Package. Unlike MAX phases with a hexagonal symmetry (P6₃/mmc, #194), (Cr₂Hf)₂Al₃C₃ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group of P2₁/m (#11) with lattice parameters of a = 5.1739 Å, b = 5.1974 Å, c = 12.8019 Å; α = β = 90°, γ = 119.8509°. Its structure is found to be energetically much more favorable with an energy (per formula unit) of ?102.11 eV, significantly lower than those of the allotropic segregation (?100.05 eV) and solid solution (?100.13 eV) phases. Calculations using a stress versus strain approach and the VRH approximation for polycrystals also show that (Cr₂Hf)₂Al₃C₃ has outstanding elastic moduli.     

Additive Sintering,Postannealing, and Dielectric Properties of SrTaO2N

The maintaining of the chemical composition and electrical insulativity of SrTaO₂N ceramics was investigated during sintering and annealing, using powders prepared by the nitridation of Sr₂Ta₂O₇. Due to the low thermal stability of SrTaO₂N, the partial loss of SrO and nitrogen induced the formation of a TaO_0.9 impurity after heat‐treating at above 1100°C. The sintering additive SrCO₃ and postannealing in NH₃ were employed to compensate for the loss of SrO and nitrogen to obtain ceramics with the original chemical composition. The as‐sintered SrTaO₂N ceramics with various relative density (RD) were annealed in NH₃ to observe the recovery of color and electrical insulativity. It was found that the inner part of the well‐sintered samples with RD = 95.1% could not be recovered by annealing, and continued to exhibit semiconducting behavior and a black color. On the other hand, for the as‐sintered SrTaO₂N ceramics with RD < 84%, both the nitrogen content and electrically insulating behavior were completely recovered after annealing. The postannealed SrTaO₂N ceramics (RD = 83.3%) possessed a relatively large dielectric constant of 450 with a low dielectric loss of less than 0.1 at 100 Hz, almost independent of frequency and temperature.     

丁基橡胶再生胶硫化体系的选择及其对硫化性能的影响

采用超临界CO2流体作传输介质,二苯基二硫(DD)作脱硫剂,研究了废旧丁基橡胶的脱硫再生。结果表明,所得丁基橡胶再生胶(RIIR)不能被硫黄硫化,但能被树脂硫化。在丁基橡胶(IIR)的硫黄硫化过程中,DD不能用作硫化剂和硫化促进剂,其对硫化过程有明显的抑制作用。采用丙酮抽出残留DD后,RIIR可被硫黄硫化。针对IIR/RIIR并用体系,分别以硫黄和树脂作硫化体系且用量相同时,树脂硫化体系的交联密度明显高于硫黄硫化体系。
