Effect of Temperature and Solvent of Solvent-Mediated Polymorph Transformation on ASP3026 Polymorphs and Scale-up

AbstractTraditional Mexican cocoa fermentation performed in batch was studied by applying kinetic modelling with experimental validation. Similar microbiological behaviour was observed up to 60 h, with a temperature increase at 72 h that remained constant (50 °C) until 156 h. Metabolite-production kinetics (ethanol and acetic acid) from degradable mucilage (glucose) was explored. Exploration involved applying different combinations of unstructured growth models, in order to consider the effect of temperature when predicting the concentration of metabolites in these microorganisms. Two methods were used to optimize model parameters: the Levenberg–Marquardt optimization approach and Genetic Algorithms (GAs). GAs which could be used to scale up the fermentation process indicated the applicability of this model for predicting fermentation quality. The maximum specific rate average for μmax and saturation constant (Ks) were 0.0961 h−1 and 1.4 mg/g m.s., respectively. The results obtained indicate the expediency of this technique for future application in the design and control of batch fermentation.

Abstract The effect of temperature (60, 70, 80 and 90 ºC) and time (30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 min) on citric acid extraction of Haden mango ( Mangifera indica L . cv. Haden) peel pectin was evaluated in the present study. In order to obtain a better understanding of both the extraction process and the characteristics of the pectin (obtained from an agro-industrial waste) for a future scaling process, the following characterizations were performed: 1) Kinetic, with the maximum extraction times and yields at all evaluated temperatures; 2) thermodynamic, obtaining activation energies, enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs free energies for each stage of the process; 3) physicochemical (chemical analysis, monosaccharide composition, degree of esterification, galacturonic acid content, free acidity, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and derivative thermogravimetric analyses) and; 4) economical, of the pectin with the highest yield. The mango Haden peel pectin was found to be characterized by a high-esterified degree (81.81 ± 0.00 %), regular galacturonic acid content (71.57 ± 1.26 %), low protein (0.83 ± 0.05 %) and high ash (3.53 ± 0.02 %) content, low mean viscometric molecular weight (55.91 kDa) and high equivalent weight (3657.55 ± 8.41), which makes it potentially useful for food, pharmaceutical and environmental applications such as delivery system, gelling agent or as an emulsifier.Statement of NoveltyThe novelty of this work lies in the valorization of an agro-industrial waste (Haden mango peel) through the kinetic, thermodynamic, physicochemical, and economic characterization of a product obtained (pectin). This work contributes to laying the groundwork for an industrial scale-up for pectin production in a mango processing industry.

Microstructural Studies

Aluminum additions to conventional 18Cr-8Ni austenitic stainless steel compositions impart excellent resistance to high sulfur environments. However, problems are typically encountered with aluminum additions above about 1% due to embrittlement caused by aluminum in solid solution and the precipitation of NiAl. Consequently, little use has been made of aluminum alloy additions to stainless steels for use in sulfur or H2S environments in the chemical industry, energy conversion or generation, and mineral processing, for example.A research program at the Albany Research Center has concentrated on the development of a wrought alloy composition with as low a chromium content as possible, with the idea of developing a low-chromium substitute for 310 stainless steel (25Cr-20Ni) which is often used in high-sulfur environments. On the basis of workability and microstructural studies involving optical metallography on 100g button ingots soaked at 700°C and air-cooled, a low-alloy composition Fe-12Cr-5Ni-4Al (in wt %) was selected for scale up and property evaluation.

The One

Recently we have investigated the phase equilibria and antiphase domain structures of Fe-Al alloys containing from 18 to 50 at.% Al by transmission electron microscopy and Mössbauer techniques. This study has revealed that none of the published phase diagrams are correct, although the one proposed by Rimlinger agrees most closely with our results to be published separately. In this paper observations by transmission electron microscopy relating to the nucleation of disorder in Fe-24% Al will be described. Figure 1 shows the structure after heating this alloy to 776.6°C and quenching. The white areas are B2 micro-domains corresponding to regions of disorder which form at the annealing temperature and re-order during the quench. By examining specimens heated in a temperature gradient of 2°C/cm it is possible to determine the effect of temperature on the disordering reaction very precisely. It was found that disorder begins at existing antiphase domain boundaries but that at a slightly higher temperature (1°C) it also occurs by homogeneous nucleation within the domains. A small (∼ .01°C) further increase in temperature caused these micro-domains to completely fill the specimen.

Atomic Form Factor

Temperature affects both elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons in a crystal. The Debye-Waller factor, B, describes the influence of temperature on the elastic scattering of electrons, whereas the imaginary part of the (complex) atomic form factor, fc = fr + ifi, describes the influence of temperature on the inelastic scattering of electrons (i.e. absorption). In HRTEM simulations, two possible ways to include absorption are: (i) an approximate method in which absorption is described by a phenomenological constant, μ, i.e. fi; - μfr, with the real part of the atomic form factor, fr, obtained from Hartree-Fock calculations, (ii) a more accurate method in which the absorptive components, fi of the atomic form factor are explicitly calculated. In this contribution, the inclusion of both the Debye-Waller factor and absorption on HRTEM images of a (Oll)-oriented GaAs crystal are presented (using the EMS software.Fig. 1 shows the the amplitudes and phases of the dominant 111 beams as a function of the specimen thickness, t, for the cases when μ = 0 (i.e. no absorption, solid line) and μ = 0.1 (with absorption, dashed line).
