By using a thermogravimetric analyser under argon atmosphere, the pyrolysis process and the kinetic model of phoenix tree residues (the little stem, middle stem, and leaf) at a 30 °C min−1 heating rate and the phoenix tree mix at three different heating rates (10 °C min−1, 30 °C min−1, and 50 °C min−1) were examined. The catalyst and the co-pyrolysis samples were at a 30 °C min−1 heating rate. ...

The magnesium (Mg) particle surface can be used to regulate fluorination or oxidation reactions depending on the applied heating rate and Mg size. Magnesium particles are surrounded by a complex hydroxide shell composed of an inner layer oxide (MgO) outer (Mg(OH)2). As approach nanoscale, thick (e.g., 22 nm) becomes appreciable portion overall powder exploited reactivity. In this study, reactiv...

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection causes several hundred cases of food poisoning every year in Japan. In severe cases, this type of food poisoning can be fatal. In the present study, we examined the induction of HSP70 in E. coli O157:H7 cells at various temperatures and the thermotolerance of E. coli O157:H7 cells alone and in contaminated food following pre-heating. We evalu...

The oxidation behavior of silicon-containing steel was studied by applying segmented heating routes similar to the atmosphere and heating process in an industrial reheating furnace. The oxidation tests were carried out on a simultaneous thermal analyzer at heating temperatures of 1150 ̋C–1300 ̋C. The morphologies of Fe2SiO4 were observed by SEM, and the penetration depths of the Fe2SiO4 layer a...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of microwaving, autoclaving (moist heating), and roasting (dry heating) on gas production parameters and in situ rumen degradability of soybean meal (SBM). SBM was treated by roasting at 140℃ for 30 and 60 min, and at 160℃ for 30 and 60 min, autoclaving at 121℃ for 20 min, and microwaving for 2, 4, and 6 min. A gas production trial...
