Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a toxic natural metabolite produced by Fusarium graminearum. In this study we investigated the effects of sodium bisulfite and extrusion cooking under high temperature and pressure on DON levels in wheat grain and mill fractions. Samples of highly naturally DON-contaminated soft winter wheat were soaked for 1 h in water or aqueous sodium bisulfite (SB) solutions (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, or 5% SO2 equivalent) and extruded. The soaking treatment with SB solution (5% SO2 equivalent) lowered DON from 7.3 μg/g to 0.8 μg/g without extrusion and to 0.3 μg/g with an extrusion process. When the contaminated kernels were tempered with water or SB solutions (5 or 10% SO2 equivalent) and milled, the flour samples, as expected, showed lower levels of DON (from 7.3 to 3.1 μg/g). Extrusion of milled flour and whole meal samples, both obtained from SB-tempered wheat, did not change DON levels significantly under the studied extrusion conditions as compared to the nonextruded milled flour and whole meal samples. However, the extrusion process can be utilized to remove moisture and/or odor of chemicals used in the soaking solutions and to produce potentially useful extruded products.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of extrusion process variables on the resistant starch content (RS) in a sample of rice snacks with added chicory root (addition: from 20-40%). The effect of different levels of feed moisture (16.3 to 22.5%) and screw speed (500 to 900) rpm, as well as chicory root addition, during extrusion cooking on the resistant starch content of extruded products, was investigated. Results of our experiments have demonstrated a decrease in the resistant starch content after extrusion, which is also observed in some other studies. The resistant starch content was in a range of 0.1302 g/100g to 0.5302 g/100g. According to Yoon's model, the screw speed had the greatest negative influence, while the increased feed moisture had a positive effect on resistant starch content, as well as the share of chicory addition.

We chose cast and extrude magnesium alloy AZ61 as materials and studied the influences of temperature, humidity, pressure and NaCl atmosphere on the corrosion products and corrosion mechanism by means of SEM, EDS and XRD. we could indicate the corr osion rate of extruded AZ61 magnesium is faster than that of cast AZ61 magnesium. Both th e rearrange of second ph ase and smaller grain size, which owing to the extrusion process, change the morphologies of corrosion products.

Annotation Purpose. Development of a program and methods for conducting experimental studies of the extrusion process with the definition of parameters and modes of operation of the extruder to improve its energy performance. Methods. Methods of mathematical statistics, synthesis, analysis, description and modeling were used. Results. The application of mathematical methods, in particular mathematical planning, reduces the number of experiments several times, and allows to evaluate the role of influencing factors, obtain a mathematical model of the process and determine the optimal conditions for its parameters and modes, etc. Conclusions. The methodology for experimental studies of a screw extruder is presented with the necessary equipment and methodology for processing the obtained experimental data. A mathematical method of planning, which reduces the number of experiments several times, allows us to evaluate the role of factors affecting productivity and energy intensity is presented. Keywords: extruder, auger, nutrients, research methodology, extrusion, processing, feed.

Industrial processing of mineral ores and concentrates generates large amounts of solid residues, which can be landfilled or further processed to recover selected elements depending on its economical profitability. Pressure leaching is a technology enabling high recovery of base metals like copper and zinc, transferring others like lead and iron to the solid residue. High temperature and pressure of such leaching leads to formation of sparingly soluble lead jarosite (plumbojarosite). The load of lead landfilled as solid residues resulting from such operation is so big that its recovery is perspective and crucial for waste-limiting technologies. This paper is devoted to lead extraction from pressure leaching residues using triethylenetetramine solution and then its precipitation as a commercial lead carbonate. The highest obtained recovery of lead was 91.3%. Additionally, presented technology allows to manage and recycle amine solution and reuse solid products. Produced pure lead carbonate can be directly added to smelting, not increasing temperature within the furnace.

The following research focuses on the possibility of applying fresh plant material as a carrot pulp to supplement newly developed extruded products in the form of pellets and microwave-expanded snacks. Fresh carrot pulp, as a valuable vegetable ingredient, was used in the amount of 2.5 g/100 g to 30.0 g/100 g in a potato-based recipe. The snack pellets were processed via extrusion-cooking, using a single-screw extruder with a plasticizing unit L/D = 18, and the use of variable screw speeds. The produced pellets underwent microwave expansion to limit the fat content, so as to produce ready-to-eat (RTE) snacks. The pellets and snacks were tested for nutritional value, as well as for selected quality features: physical properties, structure, pasting characteristics, and texture profile, and PCA analysis and a correlation matrix were performed on the obtained results. Microwave expansion of pellets increased the total phenolic content, the antioxidant activity, water absorption index and lightness of snacks, but decreased the bulk density and setback values of the expanded products when compared to pellets. Generally, we found that it was possible to use up to 30.0 g/100 g of fresh carrot pulp with a positive effect on nutritional value, and without negative effects on the physical properties of extruded products. Both the extrusion-cooking and microwave expansion can minimize the negative impact on plant materials, due to the short processing time.

In order to eliminate residual solvents in ammunition and to reduce the emissions of volatile organic compounds to the atmosphere, the U.S. Army ARDEC has teamed with TNO in developing a new process for the production of solventless propellant for tank ammunition. To reduce the costs of solventless propellants production, shear roll mill and continuous extrusion processing was investigated. As described in this paper JA-2 a double base propellant cannot be processed without solvent by the extrusion process. An alternative JA-2 equivalent propellant was defined. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the manufacturing of this propellant by solventless continuous twin screw extrusion processing while maintaining gun performance characteristics of conventional JA-2 propellant. This is elucidated by explicitly researching the relationship between interior ballistic properties of the gun propellant and utilizing a continuous manufacturing process. Processing conditions were established, and the propellant was manufactured accordingly. The extruded propellant has the desired properties, which resulted in a comparable gun performance as the conventional JA-2 propellant.
