In recent years, Pickering emulsions have emerged as a new method and have attracted much attention in the fields of food sciences. Unlike conventional emulsions, Pickering emulsions are stabilized by solid particles, which can irreversibly adsorb on the oil-water interface to form a dense film to prevent the aggregation of droplets. The research and development of food-grade solid particles are increasingly favored by scientific researchers. Compared with conventional emulsions, Pickering emulsions have many advantages, such as fewer using amounts of emulsifiers, biocompatibility and higher safety, which may offer feasibility to have broad application prospects in a wide range of fields. In this article, we review the preparation methods, stabilization mechanism, degradation of Pickering emulsions. We also summarize its applications in food sciences in recent years and discuss its future prospects and challenges in this work.

Whey protein isolate (WPI) can be used effectively to produce food-grade particles for stabilizing Pickering emulsions. In the present study, crosslinking of WPI microgels using organic acids (tannic and citric acids) is proposed to improve their functionality in emulsions containing roasted coffee oil. It was demonstrated that crosslinking of WPI by organic acids reduces the microgels’ size from ≈1850 nm to 185 nm and increases their contact angle compared to conventional WPI microgels, achieving values as high as 60°. This led to the higher physical stability of Pickering emulsions: the higher contact angle and smaller particle size of acid-crosslinked microgels contribute to the formation of a thinner layer of particles on the oil/water (O/W) interface that is located mostly in the water phase, thus forming an effective barrier against droplet coalescence. Particularly, emulsions stabilized by tannic acid-crosslinked WPI microgels presented neither creaming nor sedimentation up to 7 days of storage. The present work demonstrates that the functionality of these crosslinked WPI microgels can be tweaked considerably, which is an asset compared to other food-grade particles that mostly need to be used as such to comply with the clean-label policy. In addition, the applications of these particles for an emulsion are much more diverse as of the starting material.

This review work focuses mainly on the formulation, characterization, physicochemical properties and parameters of stability of emulsions stabilized by solid particles (Pickering emulsions). This concept of emulsions stabilized by particles strong knows a renewed interest in our days saw the benefits they present: good stability, protection of the environment, safety of users, types of particles etc. The adsorption of the solid particles at the oil-water interface is almost irreversible and strong, leading to the formation of a dense film, creating a barrier around the droplets and thus making the droplets very resistant to coalescence. Recently, the possibilities of application of emulsions stabilized by particles are considered in the pharmaceutical industry. This type of formulation may be a potential system of encapsulation of the active ingredients, allowing controlled and targeted release of the active ingredient from the internal phase.

Oil Water

In order to meet the need of separating oil from water in the settling tank of the oilfield, ClO2 treatment for oil-water transition layer in settling tank is introduced. The field test displayed that the technique was achieved by a good performance. For understanding the oxidation and mechanism, compositions of oil-water transition layer were comparatively studied for before/after ClO2-treatment in this paper.The experimental results show that the compositions before and after ClO2-treatment, including physical structure and chemical composition, were varied in the great extension. The physical structure, consisting of water, oil and solid phase, was reduced to less than 5% of water and 0.5% of solid particle and increased to 95% of oil in layer compared with before-treatment, easily leading to clearly separating water from oil. The chemical composition of iron sulfide and acid insoluble substance in solid phase was decreased to more than 90% while the carbonate was reduced more than 70% . After the treatment, the viscosity reduction of the water phase in the layer was reached to 50% after oxidation demulsification with ClO2. The chemistry was discussed based on the principles and experiments. Due to ClO2 destroying (oxidizing) the rigid interface membrane structure which is supported by natural surfactant, polymer and solid particles with interface-active materials, the action accelerates the separating of water and oil and sedimentation of insoluble residue of acid in the layer. By demonstrating the experimental data and discussion, we can effectively control the oxidation performance of chlorine dioxide, which is very meaningful for oilfield on the aspect of stable production of petroleum.

Abstract The effect of particles, such as dust in air on aerodynamic drag of circular cylinders was calculated for compressible flow at critical Mach number and for incompressible flow. The effect of compressibility was found negligible for particles larger than about 10 μm, for which the air can be considered a continuum. Drag coefficient and collection efficiency are provided for a wide range of inertia parameters and Reynolds numbers for both compressible and incompressible flow.

Wear Index

Abstract One of the difficulties of assessing wear test data of rubber articles, e.g., tires, soles and heels, etc., is the fact that the wear index is not necessarily constant throughout the wearing trial. In a previous publication it was suggested that before exact correlations could be established between laboratory and service tests some mathematical method of obtaining constant indexes for both tests must be found. In the subsequent discussion of this paper at Birmingham, the author revealed that wear curves obtained on the Martindale abrasion tester and also some actual road wear curves could be expressed satisfactorily by an equation of the type y=axn. Since that time further work has been done, and it is now proved that if wear curves obtained on a wide range of laboratory machines, e.g., Martindale, du Pont, and Dunlop (Lambourn), are plotted, these curves are all of the same family y=axn. Although this equation is purely empirical, it is of considerable interest to the rubber industry in that it has such a broad application in the field of laboratory abrasion testing and also in service wear trials.

This paper presents a simple, analytical theory for determining total pressure in multiphase flows, a subject of theoretical interest as well as of practical importance. It is shown here that the nonequilibrium processes occurring in the vicinity of a measuring device have a significant influence on the magnitude of flow velocity inferred from Pitot measurements. The present theory predicts that, depending on the size of the particles or droplets, the total pressure varies monotonically between the two limiting values: the frozen total pressure (when there is no interphase mass, momentum, and energy transfer in the decelerating flow toward the stagnation point) and the equilibrium total pressure (when the dispersed phase, either liquid droplets, or solid particles, is always at inertial and thermodynamic equilibrium with the continuous vapour phase). The presented analytical theory is a relation between nondimensional total pressure and Stokes number, representing particle size or inertia, and specifies the total pressure under different nonequilibrium conditions. One simple equation applies to diverse multiphase mixtures, solid particle laden gas as well as vapour-droplet mixtures, and at a wide range of flow conditions, both subsonic and supersonic. The associated issue of interpreting total temperature, and the relation between measured total pressure and entropy production in multiphase flows have been discussed at length by Guha (1998).
