Aerosol solvent extraction system (ASES) was used to prepare micro-particle of acetaminophen by supercritical carbon dioxide as an anti-solvent. Experiment was carried out at various temperatures, pressures, solvents and investigated the effects of these parameters on particle size, size distribution and morphology by SEM and laser diffraction particle size analyzer. It seems that the choice of...

A real-time, continuous optical particle separation method, termed cross-type optical particle separation, is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The trajectory of a particle subject to cross-type optical particle separation is predicted by solving the particle dynamic equation and compared with experimental data. For various flow velocities and particle sizes, the retention distance...

Copper smelting slags are hard materials. Therefore,to recover their copper by flotation method, grinding should be carried out to obtain optimal particle size. Copper smelting slags in the Bardeskan district, with work index of 16.24 kwh/st, were grinded for 65 minutes to reach an acceptable degree of freedom for the flotation tests, with particle size of 80%, smaller than 70 μm. With this gri...

abstract in recent years, many researchers have attempted to estimate the soil hydraulic functions (e.g. soil moisture characteristics curve, and hydraulic conductivity function) using particle-size distribution (psd) curve. in these studies, an accurate mathematical representation of psd is required for fitting the observed data. so far, some mathematical models were developed with different l...

tio2/zro2 nanocomposite was obtained by the sonochemical technique. in this method, two separate gels containing zirconium and titanium were prepared and mixed together. the precursor sol of zirconium was prepared from an aqueous solution of zrcl4. the precursor titanium tetra isopropoxide (ttip) dissolved in isopropanol. mixing of titanium and zirconium gels was resulted in a yellow tio2/zro2 ...

objective eudragits are widely used polymers in the production of oral sustained release dosage forms. the application of these polymers in the production of inert insoluble matrices has been investigated. however the effect of particle size, compaction force and presence of aerosil 200 as a glidant on the properties of eudragit rs and rl matrices prepared by direct compression of their physica...

in this study, alkaline colloidal silica was prepared by titration of an alkaline solution such as sodium silicate with silicic acid in constant range of ph  .this constant range of ph was achieved by using concentrated soduim silicate solutions as ph adjusting solutions during titration.the sodium silicate solutions  having a variety of concentrations were passed  through ion-exchange resin to...

wheat germ, a highly nutritive part of wheat kernels, is separated during milling as a by-product. in this study, wheat germ was used to supplement cakes. different levels of the germ (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) at different particles sizes (280, 585, 890 and 1,195 µm) were added to a cake recipe. the results showed that with increasing the germ level and particle size, batter consistency and densit...

the selection of a growing medium is one of the most important decisions in the culture of hydroponic crops. in order to select a suitable medium for hydroponic cucumber (cucumis sativus l. cv. negin), an experiment was carried out on growing media containing different particle sizes of perlite and organic substrates in a run-to-waste system in a greenhouse experiment. the growing media tested ...

due to the positive effects of fiber on human health, production and distribution of high fiber containing foods is on the increase. amongst different foods, bread is a suitable option to convey fiber in human diets. flat breads which are very common in asian countries, are mainly produced from white flour and hence are low in fiber. the main objectives followed in this study were to produce hi...
