to evaluate the most suitable method as well as different conditions of blanching in the process of green tea production from local tea green leaves, this research was conducted in split plot in time and on the basis of a randomized complete block design of six treatments in 3 replications (different plucking times). two common methods of blanching by steaming and panning were used. green leaf ...

Orange press liquor is a by-product generated by the citrus processing industry containing huge amounts of natural phenolic compounds with recognized antioxidant activity. In this work, an integrated membrane process for the recovery of flavonoids from orange press liquors was investigated on a laboratory scale. The liquor was previously clarified by ultrafiltration (UF) in selected operating c...

In the present investigation, a nonlinear mathematical model is developed for the analysis of Septuple effect flat falling film evaporator (SEFFFE) system used for concentrating weak black liquor in a nearby paper mill. This model is capable of simulating process of evaporation considering variations in boiling point rise (), overall heat transfer coefficient (U), heat loss from evaporator (Ql...

In the Bayer process, the reaction of silica in bauxite with caustic soda causes the loss of great amount of NaOH. In this research, the bound-soda losses in Bayer process solid residue (red mud) are predicted using intelligent techniques. This method, based on the application of regression and artificial neural networks (AAN), has been used to predict red mud bound-soda losses in Iran Alumina C...

Digital cameras record only one color component per pixel, red, green or blue. Demosaicking is the process by which one can infer a whole color matrix from such a matrix of values, thus interpolating the two missing color values per pixel. The selected color configuration of the sensor usually follows the Bayer color filter array, CFA. Out of a group of four pixels, two are green (in quincunx),...

To identify Kraft liquor effects on spermatogenesis and sperm motility of Caspian kutums by using in vitro culture, the fish testis was incubated with 5, 10 and 15 % (V/V) of liquor for 3 and 6 days. The percentage of motile spermatozoa and its total duration were also measured. Adverse effects on testicular cells were more apparent with the increase of liquor concentrations. The mean size of s...

Combustion behavior (swelling during combustion and combustion time) of the kraft black liquors varies significantly between pulp mills and also time-dependent variations within a mill occur. In addition, due to the different raw materials and pulping conditions, some further variations in these combustion properties are typically observed. Therefore, by means of the proper process control and ...

Using industrial spent Bayer-liquor solution and 95 °C temperature, the dissolution desilication products formation kinetics of five raw kaolinite samples obtained from different sources were found to display profound differences. It was hypothesized that these differences connected physico-chemical properties solids. The solids characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry, N2 adsorption-desorp...
