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...

A study was designed to collect a database of Iowa feedlot rations for determination of effective neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in complete diets from fiber analysis and particle size determination of individual feed ingredients and compare this with particle size determination of mixed wet rations. Seventy-one beef finishing total mixed rations were collected by ISU Extension Beef Field Specia...

The effects of various postchill deboning times on functional, color, yield, and sensory attributes of broiler breast meat were determined. Broiler breast muscles were deboned at 2, 4, 6, and 24 h postmortem, and pH, color change, cooking yield, shear force values, and sensory traits of the breast meat were recorded. Data were examined by multivariate data analysis, namely principal component a...

The objective of this research was to investigate physicochemical and biochemical characteristics of fieldsprouted grain sorghum and its fermentation performance in ethanol production. Five field-sprouted grain sorghum varieties, which received abnormally high rainfall during harvest, were used in this study. Enzyme activities, microstructure, flour pasting properties, kernel hardness, kernel w...

Complete diets for laying hens are usually offered in meal form. This form initially promotes the hens’ natural feed intake behavior and allows them to satisfy their pecking behavior. At same time, it can also cause difficulties, because consists of different particles is not a homogeneous unit. A mixture essential ensure that each hen flock meet its nutritional needs. If exhibits wide particle...

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...

NiCrMoY alloy powders were prepared using inert gas atomization by incorporation of rare earth elements, such as Mo, Nb, and Y into Ni60A powders, the coatings were sprayed by oxy-acetylene flame spray and then remelted with high-frequency induction. The morphologies, hollow particle ratio, particle-size distribution, apparent density, flowability, and the oxygen content of the NiCrMoY alloy po...

Green synthesis has gained a wide recognition as clean synthesis technique in the recent years. In the present investigation, silver nanoparticles were prepared by a novel green synthesis technique using Mangifera indica (Mango leaves) and found to be successfully used in dental applications. The prepared samples were spectroscopically characterized by XRD, PSA, SEM with EDS, and UV-Vis spectro...

The aim of this study was to examine enzymatic modification of wheat bran, performed in a low-moisture process, and the reduction of bran particle size as means of improving the technological performance of wheat bran in expanded extrudates. Modification of bran by hydrolytic enzymes increased the crispiness and decreased the hardness and piece density of extrudates containing wheat bran and en...
