The Forward Osmosis Brine Drying (FOBD) system is based on a technique called forward osmosis (FO). FO is a membrane-based process where the osmotic potential between brine and a salt solution is equalized by the movement of water from the brine to the salt solution. The FOBD system is composed of two main elements, the FO bag and the salt regeneration system. This paper discusses the results o...

Mass transfer processes in meat brining can be enhanced by taking advantage of the effects produced by high intensity ultrasound. Pork loin slices were immersed in a saturated solution of NaCl at 2 oC during 45 minutes. Different conditions of agitation of the solution and different levels of ultrasound intensity were applied during brining. Ultrasounds were applied with a probe system and the ...

Based on the engineering background of water dissolving mining for hydrocarbon storage in multi-laminated salt stratum, the mixed mode fracture toughness and fracture trajectory of gypsum interlayers soaked in half-saturated brine at various temperatures (20°C, 50°C and 80°C) were studied by using CSNBD (centrally straight-notched Brazilian disc) specimens with required inclination angles (0°, ...
