Researchers typically perform winemaking experiments using small volumes of grapes. This study examined which small-vessel volume (10, 25, 50 and 100 L) gives better repeatability during red winemaking extraction of colour and tannin in research studies. Few studies have actually evaluated the repeatability of small-scale fermentations using two varieties of different phenolic potential: Tempranillo and Cabernet-Sauvignon. We investigated how volume size may affect the composition of colour and tannins for these two varieties and result in potentially different phenolic contents. Furthermore, for each variety, we compared the small scale vessel with a commercial fermentation using a 2.500 L capacity. 50 L tanks resulted in optimum extraction of phenols and colour. High repeatability was observed for alcohol content, pH and total acidity, anthocyanins, and procyanidins for both varieties amongst vessel sizes. Kinetics of fermentation performed faster in big berry driven grapes (Tempranillo) regardless of the volume. Instead, for small berry grapes (Cabernet-Sauvignon), vessel size affected the kinetics or fermentation and therefore the extraction can be altered. Very high repeatability for the alcohol by volume, pH and total acidity (CV ≤ 7 %) as well as anthocyanins and procyanidins by HPLC (15 % ≤ CV ≤ 20 %) for both varieties in all volume sizes. This research provides a solid basis for validating the reproducibility of small-scale fermentations of two red grapevines with different phenolic potential and sheds new light on the potential and limitations of small-scale winemaking.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the kinetics of nutrient quality (Vitamin C (Vc), reducing sugar and total acidity) change of winter jujube slices that under different drying temperatures (55, 60, 65 and 70?) and different air velocities (3, 6 and 9m/s) during the air-impingement drying process. Results showed that the content of Vc, reducing sugar and total acidity decreased with increasing drying time. Furthermore, analysis of variances indicated that the drying temperature, air velocity and time had a significant effect on the loss of Vc, reducing sugar and total acidity (p<0.05). Zero order, first order and Weibull models were used to fit the experimental data, Weibull model was considered as the most suitable one to the degradation kinetics of Vc, reducing sugar and total acidity in dried samples at different temperatures and air velocities. According to the Arrhenius formula, the activation energy of Vc, reducing sugar and total acidity degradation kinetics were 63.78 kJ/mol, 36.48 kJ/mol and 153.51 kJ/mol, respectively. This research can provide some references for enhancing dried products quality in the jujube drying industry.

The interaction of phases is at the basis of many technologies in different industries. Flotation method is used in wastewater treatment plants to capture and remove contaminants from wastewater. In this case, the interaction of air bubbles with particles of pollution with a hydrophobic surface. These interactions are very difficult to investigate because they are dynamic, subject to a large number of physical and chemical factors, and occur on a small scale. The processes mentioned above have traditionally been studied by laboratory experiments. These tests are tedious and time-consuming and show unsatisfactory accuracy. Analytical studies give idealized results. One of the most powerful alternatives for solving this problem is numerical modeling, which combines dynamics, accuracy and consideration of sophisticated details. This model is based on the discrete elements method. In this paper, a computer model for modeling the kinetics of the interaction of phases in wastewater treatment is considered.

The most common cause of diseases in swimming pools is the lack of sanitary control of water quality; water may contain microbiological and chemical contaminants. Among the people most at risk of infection are children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised people. The origin of the problem is a need to develop a system that can predict the formation of chlorine water disinfection by-products, such as trihalomethanes (THMs). THMs are volatile organic compounds from the group of alkyl halides, carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and bioaccumulating. Long-term exposure, even to low concentrations of THM in water and air, may result in damage to the liver, kidneys, thyroid gland, or nervous system. This article focuses on analysis of the kinetics of swimming pool water reaction in analytical device reproducing its circulation on a small scale. The designed and constructed analytical device is based on the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC driver of SIEMENS Company. The HMI KPT panel of SIEMENS Company enables monitoring the process and control individual elements of device. Value of the reaction rate constant of free chlorine decomposition gives us qualitative information about water quality, it is also strictly connected to the kinetics of the reaction. Based on the experiment results, the value of reaction rate constant was determined as a linear change of the natural logarithm of free chlorine concentration over time. The experimental value of activation energy based on the directional coefficient is equal to 76.0 [kJ×mol−1]. These results indicate that changing water temperature does not cause any changes in the reaction rate, while it still affects the value of the reaction rate constant. Using the analytical device, it is possible to constantly monitor the values of reaction rate constant and activation energy, which can be used to develop a new way to assess pool water quality.

In controlled blasting, pre-cracks are often used to reduce the blasting vibration hazards. In this paper, with the engineering of 3 # on-line repair in one large iron and steel group in China, the kinetics of the steady one-dimensional shock wave, transmitting through the pre-cracks in near field from the blasting piont, were analyzed. And the damping effect was calculated too. Small-scale industrial test was conducted. These provide a reference for the blasting design.

Biomass is a complex material mainly composed of the three lignocellulosic components: cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The different molecular structures of the individual components result in various decomposition mechanisms during the pyrolysis process. To understand the underlying reactions in more detail, the individual components can be extracted from the biomass and can then be investigated separately. In this work, the pyrolysis kinetics of extracted and purified cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are examined experimentally in a small-scale fluidized bed reactor (FBR) under N2 pyrolysis conditions. The FBR provides high particle heating rates (approx. 104 K/s) at medium temperatures (573–973 K) with unlimited reaction time and thus complements typically used thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA, low heating rate) and drop tube reactors (high temperature and heating rate). Based on the time-dependent gas concentrations of 22 species, the release rates of these species as well as the overall rate of volatiles released are calculated. A single first-order (SFOR) reaction model and a 2-step model combined with Arrhenius kinetics are calibrated for all three components individually. Considering FBR and additional TGA experiments, different reaction regimes with different activation energies could be identified. By using dimensionless pyrolysis numbers, limits due to reaction kinetics and heat transfer could be determined. The evaluation of the overall model performance revealed model predictions within the ±2σ standard deviation band for cellulose and hemicellulose. For lignin, only the 2-step model gave satisfying results. Modifications to the SFOR model (yield restriction to primary pyrolysis peak or the assumption of distributed reactivity) were found to be promising approaches for the description of flash pyrolysis behavior, which will be further investigated in the future.

No entanto, a agroindústria processadora de polpa de frutas gera diversos resíduos, como cascas, talos e sementes, que muitas vezes são desperdiçados, mas podem ser utilizados como ingredientes para o desenvolvimento de novos produtos alimentícios. Diante do exposto, objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a cinética de secagem e a qualidade físico-química dos resíduos da agroindústria processadora de polpa de frutas. Com isso, determinou-se a cinética de secagem de cinco resíduos agroindustriais (manga, abacaxi, acerola, goiaba e graviola), os quais foram submetidos as análises físico-químicas (umidade, extrato seco, cinzas, acidez total titulável, pH e atividade de água) antes e após a secagem em estufa com circulação forçada de ar, a 60 °C. Os resultados obtidos foram tratados, através de Delineamento Inteiramente Casualizado em esquema fatorial, aplicando Análise de Variância e comparação de médias pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de significância. Observou-se bons ajustes (R2>0,98) na cinética de secagem. Após a secagem, a maioria dos resíduos apresentaram redução nos parâmetros físico-químicos de umidade, atividade de água e pH, bem como aumento do extrato seco, cinzas e acidez total. Infere-se que o resíduo de graviola e goiaba indicaram melhores respostas às condições experimentais empregadas, requerendo ainda o estudo da variação de temperatura de secagem e avaliação da estabilidade física, química e microbiológica.   Palavras-chaves: desidratação, farinhas vegetais, qualidade físico-química   KINETICS OF DRYING WASTE FROM FRUIT PULP PROCESSING AGROINDUSTRY   ABSTRACT: The fruits pulp processing industry generates wastes as barks, stalks and seeds, which are often wasted, but can be used as ingredients for development of new food productsThe aim of this work was to evaluate the drying kinetics and the physicochemical quality of residues from the fruits pulp processing industry. The drying kinetics of five agroindustrial residues (mango, pineapple, acerola, guava and graviola) were determined, which were submitted to physical-chemical analyzes (moisture, dry extract, ash, total acidity, pH and activity of water) before and after oven drying with forced air circulation at 60°C. The results were evaluated using a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme, applying Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and comparison of means by the Tukey test at 5% of significance. Good adjustments (R2>0.98) were observed for drying kinetics. After drying, most of the residues showed a reduction in the physical-chemical parameters of moisture, water activity and pH, as well as increase of dry extract, ashes and total acidity. It is inferred that graviola and guava residue indicated better responses to experimental imposed conditions, also requiring the rying temperature variation study and physical evaluation, chemical and microbiological stability.

Inhibition of iron oxidation by Leptospirillum ferriphilum in the presence of thiocyanate (SCN-) was studied in small-scale batch experiments. The L. ferriphilum culture was challenged with SCN- over a range of 0 mg/l to 10 mg/l. The data showed that L. ferriphilum was able to utilise ferrous iron at low-level concentrations of SCN- (0.25 mg/l to 1.75 mg/l), however exhibited a reduction in oxidation rate relative to the control (0 mg/l). Moreover, introduction of SCN- at low-level concentrations resulted in a lag in iron oxidation activity, specifically at concentrations of 1 mg/l, 1.25 mg/l and 1.75 mg/l. No iron oxidation was observed at SCN- concentrations above 1.75 mg/l, indicating complete inhibition. As L. ferriphilum is the dominant iron oxidising bacteria within biooxidation tanks, evidence of sustained iron oxidation activity at low-level SCN- concentrations affirms the potential of recycling bioremediated cyanidation wastewater within biooxidation circuits in bioprocesses for gold recovery from sulfidic minerals as residual SCN- concentrations in remediated effluent are reportedly lower than 0.25 mg/l. The inhibition kinetics of this system need to be explored further in order to develop a deeper understanding of the system such that it may be applied to inform process operation.

Olive fruits, as well as their corresponding oil, represent an interesting source of phytochemicals, mainly phenolic compounds, which arise as secondary metabolites, resulting from the plant’s response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Therefore, olive fruits from three distinct cultivars (“Cobrançosa,” “Galega Vulgar,” and “Picual”) grown in Portugal and displaying different degree of resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses have been studied in relation to the concentration of total phenolic compounds, orthodiphenols and flavonoids, besides antioxidant capacity (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, and ORACFL), in three maturation stages and two distinct harvest seasons (2012-2013). Generally, a decrease of all phenolic contents throughout the maturation stages has been observed, while, concerning cultivar, green olives of “Cobrançosa” showed the highest values for all contents assessed, denoting a strong influence of the genetic background. The same trend has not been observed regarding antioxidant activity, since Cobrançosa and Galega Vulgar cultivars presented the highest values only for the DPPH and ORACFL assays. Moreover, multivariate analyses pointed to the preponderance of the cultivars’ phenolic composition in the semiripe stage for the resistance to biotic stress, with “Galega” the most susceptible cultivar, presenting the lowest contents at this maturation stage, whereas “Picual” displayed the most pronounced phytochemical response.
