In this study, magnesite was used as a low-cost magnesium source to remove ammonium as struvite from the wastewater generated in the rare-earth elements separation process. Since the solubility of magnesite is low, before it was used it was decomposed to magnesia which has a higher reaction rate than magnesite. To optimize its usage, the optimum temperature of decomposition of magnesite and the time required for the process were determined by batch experiments to be 700 °C and 1.5 h, respectively. Besides, batch experiments using the residues of magnesite decomposed under optimum conditions were undertaken to investigate the effects of solid (magnesite)/liquid (wastewater) ratio and reaction time on ammonium removal as struvite. Results indicated that for the solid/liquid ratios tested and for a reaction time of 6 h, phosphorus concentrations fell steeply from the initial 9105 mg/L to a range of 198.8–29.8 mg/L, and ammonium concentrations from the initial 5287 mg/L to 540–520 mg/L. An economic analysis conducted indicated that the operation cost of the struvite process could be reduced by about 34% using decomposed magnesite instead of pure MgCl2.

Abstract For improving the physical properties of old corrugated container (OCC) fiber, the laccase/histidine system was used in this paper. Firstly, the paper studied the optimum conditions that the laccase/histidine system modified the OCC fiber, including enzyme dosage, histidine dosage, reaction time, reaction temperature, and pH. Experimental results showed that the optimum reaction conditions of laccase/histidine system for OCC pulp were: dose of enzyme 1 U·{\text{g}^{-1}}, 4 h reaction time, pH 4.5, dose of histidine 1 %. Under the optimum reaction conditions, the tensile and burst indexes of the sheet made from laccase/histidine treatment were increased by 25.2 % and 34.0 %, compared with that of the control sample. The SEM results showed that compared with the control sample, the fibrillation of the fiber modified with laccase/histidine was more obvious. Finally, the content of acid-insoluble lignin of the fiber was determined. The content of acid-insoluble lignin of the control sample was 29.2 %, and the content of acid-insoluble lignin of the fiber treated by laccase/histidine system in optimum reaction conditions was 16.0 %, which decreased by 13.2 %. Laccase/histidine system could improve the physical properties of recycled fiber, alleviate fiber decay, which are of great significance to solve the resource shortage and environment pollution of the paper-making industry.

This paper investigates the preparation and electrospinning of acidified-oxidized potato starch. In this article, acidified-oxidized potato starch was prepared by adding ammonium persulfate as an oxidizing agent and hydrochloric acid as a catalyst. The effect of reaction time, temperature, the concentration of hydrochloric acid and the content of ammonium persulfate on the viscosity and content of carboxyl were discussed. The optimum reaction conditions were as follows: 1.5 hours ,50°C, 0.5mol/l HCl, 2.5% (NH4)2S2O8. And then, the acidified-oxidized potato starch prepared at the optimum condition was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to be electrospinned by contrast to native starch. Electrospinning of 5wt%-21wt% of modified starch in DMSO produced beads, beaded fibers, and smooth fibers, depending on the concentration range. Smooth fibers were observed until the concentration reached 19wt%, while native starch was 5wt%.

In attempt to improve foaming properties of whole egg powder(WEP), WEP proteins were covalently attached to polysaccharide (maltodextrin) in a controlled aqueous solution through Maillard reaction. The optimum reaction conditions were as follows: reaction temperature was 50°C, reaction time was 120min, the weight ratio of maltodextrin:protein was 8‰. After modification, the foaming ability (FA) of WEP increased from 62.96% to 86.05%, the foaming stability(FS) increased from 20.67% to 38.97%. As the reaction proceeded, hydrophobicity and Surface SH groups increased, total SH groups and vailable lysine contents of M-WEP decreased. This results demonstrated that the Maillard reaction partially unfolds and polymerizes proteins of M-WEP and, consequently, improved foaming properties of WEP under certain controlled conditions.

Most popular agents for protein cleavage are proteolytic enzymes, but they require more rigorous hydrolytic conditions, and it is very difficulty to separate them from the productions. In this paper, an new artificial metalloprotease, Cu(II) complex of cyclen (Cu(II)Cyc) using chitosan as supporter, was designed and synthesized successfully. The hydrolytic efficient under different conditions was measured and confirmed with HPLC, SDS-PAGE, further more. Some reaction conditions, such as pH, temperature, were researched, and the results show that the optimum reaction time was 48 h, temperature was 60 °C respectively, The observed rate constants for trypsase inhibitor cleavage was 1.006×10-2 h-1 under above conditions, and the observed rate constants was 2.120×10-2 h-1 when the pH was 9.0. This paper suggested that the chitosan metal complexes could efficiently accelerate the hydrolysis reaction.

The progress of ferrites and ferrites-based nanocomposites has become extensively popular in the field of photocatalytic wastewater treatment. This class of compound exhibit several fascinating properties related with their high stability, low cost, ease of functionalization, and biocompatibility. Ferrites carry outstanding magnetic behavior that helps in their easy recovery from the aqueous system thus reducing the cost. The morphology and various properties such as magnetic, absorption, optoelectronic of magnetic ferrites can be varied and optimize by applying different synthetic routes and reaction conditions. With this background we have briefly presented and reviewed the latest development in the field of photodegradation of aqueous pollutants using ferrites based heterojunction. Especially, the type-II, Z-scheme and S-scheme based heterojunction for enhanced pollutant degradation under the exposure of light are thoroughly describe. Ferrites have inherent potential in water remediation applications hence many examples were consider to impart valuable knowledge to the readers. Nevertheless, the large-scale utilization of these magnetic nanoparticles still needs to be explored. Therefore, the gaps, challenges and future prospective of ferrites nanoparticles are also explained to unveil the un-scrutinized standard of ferrites nanoparticles.

Banana (Musa paradisiacal L) is the fourth most important crop in the world after rice, wheat and maize. Banana cultivation in Nepal is more popular like other agricultural products and has annual fibre production of about 1,977 tons. The thick, fleshy and fibrous pseudo stems that are left over after harvesting the bananas can be used to extract high quality fibre. Farmers usually throw away this whole stump because it is big and heavy and takes a long time to rot and the animals do not eat it. The cost of importing extraction machine from other country is expensive. The research and development of such machine with low cost, which ultimately provides opportunity of local entrepreneurship to farmers and helps in proper utilization of agricultural management, was felt necessary. The developed machine from this project, uses combined application of roller and a decorticator for fibre extraction. The machine can extract fibre from 1,648 Kg of input which is about 100-160 banana pseudostem. The fibre production obtained was 54 Kg per day with NRS. 11 operation cost per 1 Kg of fibre. The production efficiency in comparison to available commercial machine is 180 %.
