The properties of citric acid make it an important additive in various process industries. The aim of this experimental study is to produce citric acid from orange and grape juices. The chemical route for synthesis of citric acid from citrus juices involves three steps: (i) Neutralization to adjust pH (9-11) with 2.8 M NaOH solution, (ii) Addition of CaCl2 solution (40.3-41.1% (w/v)), and (iii) Acidification with H2SO4 solution (1.5-2.3 M) to produce citric acid. In this study, the fruits were peeled, crushed, filtered, neutralized, added CaCl2 solution and acidified to obtain citric acid. The experiments were carried out by varying final pH of solution, concentrations of CaCl2 and H2SO4 solutions maintaining volume constant. A maximum yield of citric acid at 91.1 and 79.8% from orange and grape fruits at optimum final pH of solution, concentrations of CaCl2 and H2SO4 solutions at 10, 40.7% (w/v) and 1.9 M respectively were achieved. Finally, the purified citric acid crystals were characterized using FTIR and XRD. Thus, it could be concluded that orange fruit would be a promising source for the production of citric acid than grape.","PeriodicalId":9716,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Industry & Chemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68461396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that n-C13 + was the only heat transfer fluid that could replace the eutectic diphenyl oxide/biphenyl in the system under analysis since it absorbed the heat duty of 13.79 Gcal/h, which exceeded the thermal energy of 10.57 Gcal/h absorbed by the heat transfer fluid currently used at the same operating parameters.

This study was carried out to assess a potential of different antagonists, including Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Lactobacillus, Streptomyces, Saccharomyces and Trichoderma genera, for biological control of black rot. Cultivation broth samples and their filtrates were examined against seven X. campestris strains, isolated from diseased cruciferous plants, using the diffusion-disc method. Bacillus velezensis has showed the highest inhibition zone diameter of 35.62?3.76 mm. Afterwards, different combinations of carbon and nitrogen sources were used in the cultivation medium to maximize antagonistic activity of B. velezensis. The best combinations were glycerol and yeast extract, lactose and peptone, as well as sucrose and yeast extract, suggesting the potential of biodiesel, dairy and sugar industry effluents in the production of bioactive compounds effective against the black rot pathogen.

Scanning electron microscopy/Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) analysis was used to evaluate corrosive damage on the sample surface after polarization measurements. The reported results suggest that the alloying elements have reduced cathodic and anodic current densities in the Tafel region, increased anodic currents at higher anodic potentials, and slightly displaced corrosion potential towards more positive values. Overall, impedance increases in the following order: Cu < Cu-Al < Cu-Al-Ni < Cu-Al-Mn < Cu-Al-Mn-Ni. This indicates that Cu alloys possess better corrosion resistance. SEM and EDS analysis after polarization measurements showed uniform dissolution of pure Cu, as well as the presence of a surface oxide layer, consisting of a mixture of the corresponding alloying elements, on all investigated alloys. Aggressive anodic polarization severely damaged the barrier layers on the Cu alloy specimens.","PeriodicalId":9716,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Industry & Chemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68461326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The significant process parameters such as machining voltage, duty cycle and aqueous sodium nitrate (NaNO3) electrolyte of varying concentration is considered for the study. The performances of EMM process are evaluated in terms of machining rate (MR) and Overcut (OC). The AMC tool shows 43.22 % lesser OC than the SS tool at the parameter combinations of 8V, 85% and 23 g/l. Also, for the same parameter combination MR for SS tool is 71.6 % higher than the AMC tool.

YE is a natural product from baker?s yeast industry with high nutritional richness containing amino acids, peptides, nucleotides, vitamins and minerals. In this work the effect of YE, table salt and white sugar content on fermentative activity of yeast and technological properties of spelt bread was investigated by response surface methodology (RSM) aiming to define the optimal conditions for obtaining a new functional product. The addition of YE, salt and white sugar slightly decreased yeast fermentative activity, while CO2 retention in dough was found to depend more on its chemical composition. YE addition (up to 5%) was found to increase volume and decrease firmness of bread prepared from dough with sugar content up to 5%, while the opposite effect was established in bread with higher sugar content. Maximal bread elasticity was obtained for YE content of 1.57%, table salt content of 2.01% and sugar content of 7.15%.","PeriodicalId":9716,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Industry & Chemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":"95 1","pages":"16-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78181111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wine filterability after sweetening with rectified concentrated must was also assessed. The experiments were carried out using Quality Filterability Test and the obtained results were expressed through filterability index (FI), and maximum filterable volume (Vmax). The results confirmed that used enological agents for the inhibition of tartaric instabilities generally did not worsen the filterability of white and rose wine (FI<20). However, it was evident that products containing mannoproteins and metatartaric acid considerably reduced red wine filterability (FI>500). The correlation between white and rose wine turbidity and filterability was recorded in the trials but the same trend was not registered for the red wine. The results of this study are important since membrane (final) filtration of improperly prepared wine characterized by low filterability can both increase the costs and lead to hold up on the bottling line.","PeriodicalId":9716,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Industry & Chemical Engineering Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68461377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
