Solanidine (C17H43O/V) is a steroidal aglycone of glycoalkaloids and an important precursor for the synthesis of hormones and some pharmacologically active compounds. Glycoalkaloids are hydrolysed by mineral acid yielding solanidine and a carbohydrate moiety. In this paper the kinetics of hydrolysis of glycoalkaloids from potato (Solanum tuberosum L) tuber sprouts by using solid-liquid systems were studied as well as solanidine isolation from the liquid phase of the system. The dried and milled tuber sprouts of potato were used as the solid phase and solutions of hydrochloric acid of different concentration in 96 % vol. ethanol, mixed with chloroform in a volume ratio of 2:3, 1:1, 3:2 and 4:1, were used as the liquid phase. The aim of the paper was to choose the optimal concentration of hydrochloric acid in ethanol, the volume ratio of hydrochloric acid in ethanol to chloroform in the liquid phase and the time for solanidine hydrolytic extraction, as well as to isolate solanidine from the liquid phase.

Dried and milled haulm of potato (Solanum tuberosum L) was used as the solid phase. An ethanolic solution of hydrochloric acid mixed with chloroform in different volume ratios was the liquid phase. The aim of paper was to unite in a single step the processes of glycoalkaloids extraction from haulm, their hydrolysis to solanidine and the extraction of solanidine. This could make the procedure of obtaining solanidine faster and simpler. The best degree of solanidine hydrolytic extraction of 84.5% was achieved using 10% w/v hydrochloric acid in 96% vol. ethanol mixed with chloroform in a volume ratio of 2:3, after 120 min of hydrolytic extraction.

A generalization of mesoscopic Lattice-Boltzmann models aimed at describing flows with solid/liquid phase transitions is presented. It exhibits lower computational costs with respect to the numerical schemes resulting from differential models. Moreover it is suitable to describe chaotic motions in the mushy zone.

The solid-liquid phase equilibria (SLE) and densities of H2O-NaCl- -MnCl2-Mn(H2PO2)2 quaternary system, H2O-NaCl-MnCl2 and H2O-MnCl2- -Mn(H2PO2)2 ternary systems were investigated at 323.15 K by the isothermal solution saturation method. The analyses of the liquid and solid phases were used to determine the composition of the solid phase using the Schreinemakers graphic method. The ternary systems contain one invariant point, two invariant curves and two crystallization regions. In the quaternary system, there is one invariant point, three invariant curves, and three crystallization areas corresponding to NaCl, MnCl2 4H2O, and Mn(H2PO2)2H2O. The crystallization area of Mn(H2PO2)2 H2O, being the largest in comparison with those of other salts, occupied 80.75 % of the total crystallization area.

Abstract During the preparation of the ingot with liquid core in the early stage, the finite element models of the solidification and the ultra-high temperature demoulding were established in DEFORM-3D. The thermophysical properties of ASSAB 718 with the variations of C, Mn and Cr were calculated in JMatPro®. The material database was imported into DEFORM-3D. Through the analysis of the finite element simulation results, we obtained the influence of three main elements C, Mn and Cr contents on the size of the solid-phase region, the liquid-phase region and the solid-liquid two-phase region in the ingot. We optimized the composition of the material to get a wide solid-liquid phase range. The high carbon, the medium manganese and the high chromium contents were beneficial to form the liquid core. Based on the method of the solidification time, the algorithm was programmed by the python language. We analyzed the influence of the three elements C, Mn, and Cr on the concentration distribution based on the temperature field data, which were obtained by DEFORM-2D after the solidification and the ultra-high temperature demoulding. According to the simulation results, we found that the region prone to negative segregation.

Abstract Solid/liquid phase change process has received great attention for its capability to obtain high energy storage efficiency. In order to analyse these systems, undergoing a solid/liquid phase change, in many situations the heat transfer process can be considered conduction-dominated. However, in the past years, it has been shown that natural convection in the liquid phase can significantly influence the phase change process in terms of temperature distributions, interface displacement and energy storage. In this paper, a procedure to analyse systems undergoing liquid/solid phase change in presence of natural convection in the liquid phase based on the utilisation of a commercial computer code (FLUENT), has been developed. This procedure is applied to a cylinder cavity heated from above and filled with a Phase Change Material. It was found that when the coupling with the environment, even if small, is considered, natural convection in the liquid phase occurs. The numerical results are then compared with available experimental data. The analysis shows that the agreement between numerical and experimental results is significantly improved when the results are obtained considering the presence of circulation in the liquid phase instead of considering the process only conduction-dominated. Furthermore, some interesting features of the flow field are presented and discussed.

The processes leading from coagulant feed to the development of flocs suited to solid-liquid phase separation are examined and analyzed in the light of available information and experimental data. It is concluded that at the relatively high buffering capacity (HCO3− concentration above 1.8 meg/L) and close to neutral pH values (7.0<pH<8.4) typically found in the surface waters of Hungary, flocs suited to solid-liquid phase separation develop from the coagulant added within a very short period of time (10-20 seconds). These flocs are not capable of changing the charge of the particles on the colloidal, quasi-colloidal, or destabilizing the dispersion. Between the hydrolysis of the coagulant and the development of large flocs, “short-lived” water soluble aluminium and iron(III) hydroxide complexes, metal hydroxide sols are formed, which also carry a positive charge. These latter two metal hydroxide types (which also exist for a brief period - a few seconds - only) are the ones capable of destabilizing the dispersion. The bond between the suspended solids to be removed and the metal hydroxide sols and water soluble metal hydroxide complexes must be established within this short period. Rapid mixing of the coagulant will ensure rapid hydrolysis of the coagulant, contact between the sols and the suspended solids and will retard the development of large flocs which are inactive in destabilizing the dispersion.
