Continuous counter-current extraction of rhenium from roasting dust leach liquor was carried out using a mixer-settler extractor. Tributylphosphate was used as the extractant diluted in kerosene. The effects of the flow rates and extraction stages number were investigated. The extraction efficiency was affected by the flow rates of the aqueous and organic phases, and its mechanism was qualitati...

Arabica and Robusta coffee beans were roasted at 220 ± 10°C for 7, 9 and 11 min to identify chemical descriptors in the beverages. The pH of the beverages showed the lowest value in the medium roasting level. In each degree of browning, the soluble solids content remained slightly higher in Arabica drinks. The contents of caffeine did not vary, but trigonelline decreased with burning up intensi...

sesame (sesamum indicum l.) seed and oil have long been used widely as healthy foods to supply energy and prevent aging. some of the main active anti-oxidative constituents in sesame seeds are γ-tocopherol and phenols. the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between roasting temperature and time with γ-tocopherol and total phenolic compounds (tpc) of sesame seeds when roas...

Gourd seeds have been identified as a source of edible oil, but there is sparse literature on the effect of processing factors on the characteristics of oil extracted from any Lagenaria spp. Optimization of oil extraction with the aid of expeller was achieved by applying response surface methodology. The variables were roasting temperature (87.70-172.0°C) and roasting duration (7.93-22.07 min),...

Recovery of zinc from low grade zinc oxide ore is attempted with ammonia and ammonium citrate solutions augmented by microwave roasting and ultrasound radiation. The influence of the ammonia-ammonium ratio, roasting temperature, ultrasound power, and leaching time were assessed on the recovery of zinc. A maximum zinc recovery of 88.57% could be achieved at a roasting temperature of 673 K, leach...

The effect of heat treatments (boiling, autoclaving, microwave cooking and roasting) on the levels of certain antinutritional factors (phytic acid, trypsin inhibitor, α-amylase inhibitor, lectin activity and tannins) and in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of peanut and sesame seeds were investigated. All heat treatments significantly reduced the levels of all the investigated antinutrients a...

fuel oil used in power plants contain metal impurities like vanadium. after combustion, this metal remains in boiler fuel ash in the form of oxide. in this research, extraction of vanadium oxide from fuel ash has been investigated. two processes were used for this purpose. a pyro- hydrometallurgy and a hydrometallurgy process. in the pyro-hydrometallurgy process, using sodium carbonate, salt ro...

In this paper, an innovative method is proposed to upgrade iron and remove phosphorus from high-phosphorus oolitic hematite ore by the sodium magnetization roasting–magnetic separation–sulfuric acid hydroxide leaching process. The process parameters of roasting, leaching, alkaline were optimized. results show that only adopting traditional separation, concentrate containing 57.49% Fe 1.4% P2O5 ...

Similar to acrylamide, furan is a process contaminant which evolves within the production and preparation of food during heat treatment (sterilising, roasting, baking) from natural components of the food. So far, reducing sugars, amino acids, ascorbic acid, unsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids were identified as possible precursors transforming into furan under the influence of heat. The fol...

The separation of graphites and cathode materials from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is essential to close the loop material used in LIBs. In this study, roasting characteristics LIB are carefully analyzed, effects on surface morphology elemental chemical states electrode fully investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, SEM-EDS, XPS explore roasting–flotation enhancement mechanism. Then, ...
