Abstract A study was made of the adsorption of carbon tetrachloride vapor by various types of blacks, and data were obtained on the heats of wetting of blacks by carbon tetrachloride. A study was made of the fat coefficients and the points of spontaneous combustion of various types of blacks. It was found that active blacks can be distinguished from inactive blacks by their powers of adsorption of carbon tetrachloride and also by their heats of wetting. There is no way of telling by its fat coefficient whether a black is of value in rubber. The point of spontaneous combustion gives an approximate idea of the origin and formation of a black. Data on electrical conductivity have thus far not provided any basis for classifying different types of blacks.

Electrolyzed water (EW) shows great potential as a green and economical sanitation solution for the food industry. However, only limited studies have investigated the optimum electrolysis parameters and the bactericidal effect of acidic electrolyzed water (AcEW) and alkaline electrolyzed water (AlEW). Here, the Box–Behnken experimental design was used to identify the optimum parameters. The tests were conducted with different types of electrodes, electrical voltages, electrolysis times, and NaCl concentrations. There were no obvious differences observed in the physico-chemical properties of EW when different electrodes were used. However, stainless steel was chosen as it meets most of the selection criteria. The best-optimized conditions for AcEW were at 11.39 V, 0.65 wt.% NaCl, and 7.23 min, while the best-optimized conditions for AlEW were at 10.32 V, 0.6 wt.% NaCl, and 7.49 min. The performance of the optimum EW (AcEW and AlEW) compared with commercial cleaning detergents for the food industry was then evaluated. The bactericidal activity of AcEW and AlEW was examined against Escherichia coli ATCC 10536 at different temperatures (30 °C and 50 °C) for 30 s. The results show that both AcEW and AlEW have the ability to reduce the Escherichia coli to non-detectable levels (less than 2 log CFU/mL).

In this work we present results of measurements of structural (XRD), microstructural (SEM, EDX, TEM) and transport (electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient) properties as well as results of Mössbauer and FTIR spectroscopy studies of phospho-olivine materials with assumed chemical composition Li 1-3x Al x FePO 4 (x = 0, 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 and 0.1). Based on the performed research, possibility of lithium sublattice doping by Al is discussed. Additionally, initial results of electrochemical tests of lithium batteries with obtained, phospho-olivine based cathode materials are provided.

The physico-chemical properties of honey produced by the stingless bee Melipona mondury from Atlantic Forest in the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil were evaluated. The evaluated characteristics included: water content, electrical conductivity, pH, acidity, water activity, ashes, diastase, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), reducing sugars and saccharose values. The honey samples showed mean values of 29.18% for moisture; 391.5 μS for electrical conductivity; pH of 4.06; 34.3 meq kg-1 for acidity; 0.73 for water activity; 0.18% for ashes; 4.05 (Goethe unit) for diastase; 1.60% for HMF; 65.42% for reducing sugars; and 2.14% of saccharose. Only the diastase activity was above the limits accepted by the Technical Regulation for Identity and Quality of Honey (Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Supplies). Most parameters are according to those reported in honeys from other species of stingless bees in Brazil.

Battery performance strongly depends on the choice of the electrolyte-solvent system. Lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) is a highly interesting novel electrolyte. Information on physico-chemical properties of solutions of LiFSI, however, is scarce. Therefore, the density, shear viscosity, and electrical conductivity of solutions of LiFSI in three pure solvents that are interesting for battery applications: dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethylene carbonate (EC), and propylene carbonate (PC), were studied experimentally at temperatures between 273 K and 333 K at 1 bar and concentrations of LiFSI up to 0.45 mol mol−1 in the present work. Empirical correlations of the experimental data are provided. The comparison of the data of this work with the corresponding LiPF6 data underpins the attractiveness of LiFSI as an electrolyte in lithium ion batteries.

There are several situations in which it is necessary to clarify the types of coal that enter into the composition of mixtures: technical expertise and/or establishing the nature of some coal wastes, often from old stockpiles, in order to eliminate them. The proposed method is based on the identification and description of those mineralogical-petrographic and physico-chemical properties whose pursuit can lead to a diagnosis in differentiation of coal types. Systematic analysis involves in the first stage the identification of the different types of coal present in the sample by mineralogical analysis. From the sample subjected to mineralogical analysis, granules are extracted from the different types of coal present in the sample and the characteristics defining them are determined: moisture and hygroscopic moisture content, volatile matter content, fixed carbon content, agglutination characteristics, etc. Further, the characteristics of the mixtures are determined on another part of the sample and their structure is determined by algebraic methods.

AbstractGyraulus crista is often a dominant component of lentic freshwater snail communities because it may occur in densities of hundreds of individuals/m2 across continents and in lentic water types. A study on the occurrence and conchological variability of the shell of G. crista was carried out on five different types of substrates in the anthropogenic woodland ponds at thirteen study sites. In order to answer the question of whether the existence of this species in different forms is affected by the quality of the inhabited substrates, various physico-chemical properties of the water, different bottom sediments and water level fluctuations, we examined the variation of forms across 5990 specimens of G. crista in woodland ponds. This research, which was supported by Redundancy Analysis (RDA), showed a highly significant association of G. c. spinulosus with leaf deposits and G. c. cristatus for T. latifolia remains. G. crista nautileus was mainly associated with T. latifolia and also with G. aquatica remains. They also showed no statistically significant relationship between the occurrence of particular conchological G. crista forms and different physico-chemical properties of water.

Chokeberry fruit, one of the richest plant sources of bioactives, is processed into different foodstuffs, mainly juice, which generates a considerable amount of by-products. To follow the latest trends in the food industry considering waste management, the study aimed to produce chokeberry pomace extract powders and conduct experimental and chemometric assessment of the effect of different carriers and drying techniques on the physico-chemical properties of such products. The PCA analysis showed that the examined powders were classified into two groups: freeze-dried (variation in case of moisture content, water activity, colour, and browning index) and vacuum-dried (bulk density). No clear pattern was observed for the physical properties of carrier added products. The sum of polyphenolics (phenolic acids, anthocyanins and flavonols) ranged from 3.3–22.7 g/100 g dry matter. Drying techniques had a stronger effect on the polyphenols profile than the type of carrier. Hydroxymethyl-L-furfural formation was enhanced by inulin addition during high-temperature treatment. Overall, the addition of maltodextrin and trehalose mixture for freeze drying and vacuum drying at 90 °C caused the highest retention of polyphenolics and the lowest formation of hydroxymethyl-L-furfural; however, an individual and comprehensive approach is required when the obtainment of high-quality chokeberry powders is expected.

Background: Composite resin has been widely used because of it's great aesthetic and physico-chemical properties. Type of posterior composite resins mostly used nowadays are packable and bulk-fill composite resins. Shrinkage in composite resin resulting microleakage that could lead to pulp sensitivity. Dentin bonding adhesive system can help to minimalize shrinkage. There are two type of adhesive system, the total etch and self etch group. The purpose of this study was to compare the microleakage between bulk-fill and packable composit resin with two different types of dentin bonding adhesive system. Method: twenty premolar teeth used as sample. The teeth were divided into four groups of 5 teeth each and Class I cavity preparations were prepared. The groups are : G1 (PC + TE), G2 (PC + SE), G3 (BC + TE), G4 (BC + SE). The specimens were thermocycled, stained with methylene blue dye, and sectioned to evaluate the dye penetration.Result: Kruskal Wallis test showed no difference among 4 groups. Meanwhile, Mann Whitney test showed significance difference between G2 - G3, and G3 - G4.Conclus/on: The study demonstrated that total etch has better sealing ability than self etch and there was no significant microleakage difference between bulkfill composite and packable composite.
