Chokeberries (Aronia melanocarpa) are nowadays believed to exhibit potential cardioprotective and antidiabetic effects principally due to their high content in bioactive phenolic compounds. The stability of the phenolic compounds was studied during different stages of a juice production line and a method for the valorization of pomace was evaluated. Samples were taken from a commercial juice pr...

The present study aims to develop a dynamical model of cement milling process as well as an autoregressive model of the errors of the previous one. Modeling is based exclusively on long term industrial data sets of five cement mills. Not only the dynamics of each mill is estimated but also separate dynamical parameters are computed for each cement type processed in the same mill. Detailed infor...

The solid state reactions and structural evolution in nanocrystalline FePt powders during mechanical ball milling at 77 K and subsequent annealing have been investigated. Above 310 °C the formation of L10 FePt is observed. As the milling time increases, the enthalpy evolved during the transformations is reduced, whereas the corresponding activation energy increases. For accelerating the orderin...

The stability of interrupted cutting in a single degree of freedom milling process was studied experimentally. An instrumented flexure was used to provide a flexible workpiece with a natural frequency comparable to the tooth pass frequency, mimicking high speed milling dynamics. The displacement of the system was sampled continuously and periodically once per cutter revolution. These data sampl...

Realgar is a poorly water-soluble compound that exhibits poor bioavailability. To improve this, the authors reduced the particle size of realgar to nanoscale by high-energy ball milling and optimized the preparation process under which (realgar weight 40 g, milling time 9 hours, milling speed 38 Hz, milling temperature -20°C) realgar nanoparticles (NPs) with an average size of 78 ± 8.3 nm were ...

Size reduction is the first step for manufacturing biofuels from woody biomass. It is usually performed using milling machines and the particle size is controlled by the size of the sieve installed on a milling machine. There are reported studies about the effects of sieve size on energy consumption in milling of woody biomass. These studies show that energy consumption increased dramatically a...

Given proprieties of tool-workpiece materials, the experimental model of milling stress measurement is set as boundary condition for finite element analysis during milling process. The residual stress is the main reason of workpiece deformation. It is analyzed and computed using the finite element method. The idea of living and dead element is employed to model the material removal process whil...

In the case of medicines, research is to find sources of biomedical materials that...

Nanostructured Al and Al-Mg (Mg 30 wt. %) powders with the mean crystallite sizes of 42 and 11 nm were prepared through the solid state ball milling technique. The milling process was performed for various times up to 12 h in argon atmosphere and the synthesized powders were in detail characterized by different techniques. The effect of milling time and Mg addition on the size, morphology, chem...
