In this study, the effects of limited hydrolysis and/or high-pressure homogenization (HPH) treatment in acid conditions on the functional properties of oyster protein isolates (OPI) were studied. Protein solubility, surface hydrophobicity, particle size distribution, zeta potential, foaming, and emulsifying properties were evaluated. The results showed that acid treatment led to the dissociatio...

The accuracy and practicality of particle size distribution analysis for rapid screening of urine specimens are assessed. Six hundred urines were subjected simultaneously to routine bacteriological examinations and particle size distribution analysis using a Coulter Counter (ZBI) linked to a C1000 Channelyzer. There was complete agreement in the results of 593 (98.8%) specimens. Characteristic ...

an attempt has been made in this paper to investigate the effect of particle size distribution on coal flotation kinetics. the effect of particle size (ps) on kinetics constant (k) and maximum theoretical flotation recovery (ri) was investigated while other operational parameters were kept constant. the relationship between flotation kinetics constant and theoretical flotation recovery with par...

Based on the JK Drop Weight test and principle of selective crushing, a multicomponent complex ore with its component minerals, i.e., pyrrhotite, sphalerite, quartz, was used to explore impact crushing characteristics relationship between minerals. Results show that order resistance is quartz > pyrrhotite sphalerite. The particle-size-distribution characteristic curve products always “sandwi...

A Monte-Carlo simulation approach for the nanoparticle precipitation in microemulsions has been developed and adapted to nanoparticle precipitation. The simulation includes especially technical process parameters like feed rate, initial volume ratio or molar ratio of initial reactant concentrations. A set of experiments with different initial reactant concentrations of and is compared to the si...

Particle nucleation In a thermal plasma reactor occurs as a high-temperature gas undergoes a cooling trajectory. Cooling leads to formation of supersaturated vapours, which causes either homogeneous or ion-induced nucleation. Detailed models have been developed for homogeneous nucleation in a plasma reactor, including discretesectional models and moment-type models. The discrete-sectional model...
