This article primarily focuses on the advanced technologies and progressions in millet dehulling and polishing. These technologies operate based on the fundamental principles of compression-shearing, abrasion-friction, and centrifugal-impact forces. Processing of millets can be challenging because of the physical characteristics and tight attachment of hull and bran to the endosperm. However, several dehullers have been designed to solve this problem for different kinds of millets. In addition, the nutritional and anti-nutritional characteristics undergo alterations due to both dehulling and polishing processes. These alterations are thoroughly examined and discussed in this article. Specifically, anti-nutrients such as tannins and phytate are predominantly found in the outer pericarp of the grain and experience a reduction after undergoing dehulling and polishing. The nutritional properties are also subjected to a reduction;however, this reduction can be mitigated by subjecting the grains to certain pretreatments before dehulling and polishing. These treatments serve to enhance dehulling efficiency and nutrient digestibility while simultaneously reducing the presence of anti-nutrients. Novel thermal and non-thermal methodologies such as microwave, hydrothermal, high-pressure processing, and ohmic heating can be employed for processing millets, thereby diminishing the loss of nutrients. Additional research can be carried out to investigate their impact on the dehulling and polishing of millets.展开更多

A hybrid deep learning model...In order to reduce the risk of non-performing loans, losses, and improve the loan approval efficiency, it is necessary to establish an intelligent loan risk and approval prediction system. A hybrid deep learning model with 1DCNN-attention network and the enhanced preprocessing techniques is proposed for loan approval prediction. Our proposed model consists of the enhanced data preprocessing and stacking of multiple hybrid modules. Initially, the enhanced data preprocessing techniques using a combination of methods such as standardization, SMOTE oversampling, feature construction, recursive feature elimination (RFE), information value (IV) and principal component analysis (PCA), which not only eliminates the effects of data jitter and non-equilibrium, but also removes redundant features while improving the representation of features. Subsequently, a hybrid module that combines a 1DCNN with an attention mechanism is proposed to extract local and global spatio-temporal features. Finally, the comprehensive experiments conducted validate that the proposed model surpasses state-of-the-art baseline models across various performance metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and AUC. Our proposed model helps to automate the loan approval process and provides scientific guidance to financial institutions for loan risk control.展开更多

The effects of pretreatment parameters on the corrosion resistance of films obtained on AZ31 Mg alloy surface were studied by using potentiodynamic polarization curves, to produce a compact interfacial layer as zinc-immersion deposition. After the substrate was pretreated under optimized conditions, aluminum was electrodeposited on AZ31 from TMPAC-AlCl3 room temperature ionic liquids. The depositions were characterized by scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersion X-ray. The results show that the traditional pretreatment of Mg alloys was successfully used for the Al-electroplating process from TMPAC-AlCl3 ionic liquids. The entire procedure includes alkaline cleaning, chemical pickling, surface activation （400 mL/L HF acid, 10 min）, zinc-immersion （20 min） and anhydrous treatment. A relatively compact zinc-immersion film was prepared on the substrate surface. A silvery-colored satin aluminum deposition was obtained on AZ31 from TMPAC-AlCl3 using direct current plating.展开更多

The previous results demonstrate that the carbonaceous matter is mainly composed of elemental carbon, organic acid and hydrocarbons. The dissolved aurocyanide complex is robbed by adsorption of carbonaceous matter, which is similar to activated carbon in cyanide leaching of gold. The pretreatment methods of carbonaceous gold ores were introduced, including high temperature roasting, bio-oxidation, chemical oxidation, competitive adsorption, barrier inhibition and microwave roasting. Recently, bio-oxidation was developed rapidly due to its advantages such as mild conditions, simple processes, low energy consumption and friendly environment. The known microorganisms related with bio-oxidation pretreatment mainly are chemolithotroph bacteria such as Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, Thiobacillus thiooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans. The researches on decomposing and passivating carbonaceous matter were commenced by Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Pseudomonadaceae and Streptomyces setonii. Finally, the main problems were analyzed and the application prospect of this technique was looked forward.展开更多

文摘Surface pretreatment can change the surface properties of minerals,placing them in either a favorable or an unfavorable state for flotation.To solve the separation problem associated with magnesite and dolomite,surface pretreatment experiments with citric acid,tartaric acid,and tannic acid(TA)on magnesite and dolomite as well as flotation experiments on pretreated samples were performed in this study.Experimental results demonstrated that when citric acid and tartaric acid are used for surface pretreatment,the separation effect of magnesite and dolomite is poor.However,when TA is used,the separation effect of magnesite and dolomite improves.SEM and BET analysis indicated that surface pretreatment with TA changes the surface morphology of the two minerals,resulting in additional concave pores on the dolomite surface,and a significant increase in pore size and specific surface area.The adsorption quantity test and contact angle measurement demonstrated that after surface pretreatment with TA,the magnesite adsorption capacity on sodium oleate(NaOL)slightly decreases and the dolomite adsorption capacity on NaOL considerably decreases.XPS detection concluded that the surface pretreatment of TA on the magnesite surface mainly relies on physical adsorption with weak adsorption ability and poor ability to act on Mg sites.The TA surface pretreatment action on the dolomite surface is mainly through chemical adsorption,and it is strongly and selectively adsorbed on the Ca site of dolomite through O.Actual ore rough selection experiments reveal that TA pretreatment successfully removes dolomite from magnesite,resulting in a high-quality magnesite concentrate characterized by a MgO grade of 45.49%and a CaO grade of 0.75%.

文摘Oat husks,a byproduct of oat milling operations with limited economic value,present a promising feedstock for biorefinery processes due to their chemical composition.This study investigates the conversion of C5 carbohydrates in oat husks into furfural through hydrothermal pretreatment using various phosphate-based catalysts,including H_(3)PO_(4),NH_(4)H_(2)PO_(4),NaH_(2)PO_(4),KH_(2)PO_(4),K_(2)HPO_(4) and K_(3)PO_(4) as catalyst.The catalysts’effectiveness in promoting furfural production was evaluated under identical hydrothermal conditions(treatment time for 60 min at a constant temperature of 170℃ and a catalyst amount).Continuous water steam was used to strip furfural from the reaction zone and minimize its degradation.Results indicated that H_(3)PO_(4) was the most effective catalyst,achieving a furfural yield of 13.99 wt.%,which corresponds to approximately 57%of the theoretical yield.NH4H2PO4 also showed moderate effectiveness,while sodium and potassium phosphate salts were significantly less effective.A scanning electron microscope analysis shows that catalysts with lower pH may disrupt the oat husks external layer thus providing a higher C5 carbohydrates conversion rate into furfural.The chemical complexity of oat husk contributes to side reactions between its carbohydrates and lignin during the hydrothermal treatment.This results in an increase in acid-insoluble lignin and inorganic matter in the oat husk lignocellulosic residue,which can reduce the effectiveness of further cellulose saccharification by enzymatic hydrolysis.

文摘Sewage sludge in cities of Yangzi River Belt,China,generally exhibits a lower organic content and higher silt contentdue to leakage of drainage system,which caused low bioenergy recovery and carbon emission benefits in conventional anaerobic digestion(CAD).Therefore,this paper is on a pilot scale,a bio-thermophilic pretreatment anaerobic digestion(BTPAD)for low organic sludge(volatile solids(VS)of 4%)was operated with a long-term continuous flow of 200 days.The VS degradation rate and CH_(4) yield of BTPAD increased by 19.93%and 53.33%,respectively,compared to those of CAD.The analysis of organic compositions in sludge revealed that BTPAD mainly improved the hydrolysis of proteins in sludge.Further analysis of microbial community proportions by high-throughput sequencing revealed that the short-term bio-thermophilic pretreatment was enriched in Clostridiales,Coprothermobacter and Gelria,was capable of hydrolyzing acidified proteins,and provided more volatile fatty acid(VFA)for the subsequent reaction.Biome combined with fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR)analysis showed that the number of bacteria with high methanogenic capacity in BTPAD was much higher than that in CAD during the medium temperature digestion stage,indicating that short-term bio-thermophilic pretreatment could provide better methanogenic conditions for BTPAD.Furthermore,the greenhouse gas emission footprint analysis showed that short-term bio-thermophilic pretreatment could reduce the carbon emission of sludge anaerobic digestion system by 19.18%.

文摘The big data generated by tunnel boring machines(TBMs)are widely used to reveal complex rock-machine interactions by machine learning(ML)algorithms.Data preprocessing plays a crucial role in improving ML accuracy.For this,a TBM big data preprocessing method in ML was proposed in the present study.It emphasized the accurate division of TBM tunneling cycle and the optimization method of feature extraction.Based on the data collected from a TBM water conveyance tunnel in China,its effectiveness was demonstrated by application in predicting TBM performance.Firstly,the Score-Kneedle(S-K)method was proposed to divide a TBM tunneling cycle into five phases.Conducted on 500 TBM tunneling cycles,the S-K method accurately divided all five phases in 458 cycles(accuracy of 91.6%),which is superior to the conventional duration division method(accuracy of 74.2%).Additionally,the S-K method accurately divided the stable phase in 493 cycles(accuracy of 98.6%),which is superior to two state-of-the-art division methods,namely the histogram discriminant method(accuracy of 94.6%)and the cumulative sum change point detection method(accuracy of 92.8%).Secondly,features were extracted from the divided phases.Specifically,TBM tunneling resistances were extracted from the free rotating phase and free advancing phase.The resistances were subtracted from the total forces to represent the true rock-fragmentation forces.The secant slope and the mean value were extracted as features of the increasing phase and stable phase,respectively.Finally,an ML model integrating a deep neural network and genetic algorithm(GA-DNN)was established to learn the preprocessed data.The GA-DNN used 6 secant slope features extracted from the increasing phase to predict the mean field penetration index(FPI)and torque penetration index(TPI)in the stable phase,guiding TBM drivers to make better decisions in advance.The results indicate that the proposed TBM big data preprocessing method can improve prediction accuracy significantly(improving R2s of TPI and FPI on the test dataset from 0.7716 to 0.9178 and from 0.7479 to 0.8842,respectively).

文摘The ammonium salt precipitation method is frequently utilized for extracting vanadium from the leaching solution obtained through sodium roasting of vanadium slag.However,Na^(+)and NH_(4)^(+)ions in the vanadium precipitation solution can not be effectively separated,leading to a large amount of ammonia-nitrogen wastewater which is difficult to treat.In this study,the manganese salt pretreatment process is used to extract vanadium from a sodium roasting leaching solution,enabling the separation of vanadium and sodium.The vanadium extraction product of manganese salt is dissolved in acid to obtain vanadium-containing leaching solution,then vanadium is extracted by hydrolysis and vanadium precipitation,and V_(2)O_(5)is obtained after impurity removal and calcination.The results show that the rate of vanadium extraction by manganese salt is 98.23%.The vanadium extraction product by manganese salt is Mn_(2)V_(2)O_(7),and its sodium content is only 0.167%.Additionally,the acid solubility of vanadium extraction products by manganese salt is 99.52%,and the vanadium precipitation rate of manganese vanadate solution is 92.34%.After the removal of manganese and calcination process,the purity of V_(2)O_(5)product reached 97.73%,with a mere 0.64%loss of vanadium.The Mn_(2)^(+)and NH_(4)^(+)ions in the solution after vanadium precipitation are separated by precipitation method,which reduces the generation of ammonia-nitrogen wastewater.This is conducive to the green and sustainable development of the vanadium industry.

文摘Flotation separation of magnesite and its calcium-containing carbonate minerals is a difficult problem.Recently,new regulat-ors have been proposed for magnesite flotation decalcification,although traditional regulators such as tannin,water glass,sodium carbon-ate,and sodium hexametaphosphate are more widely used in industry.However,they are rarely used as the main regulators in research because they perform poorly in magnesite and dolomite single-mineral flotation tests.Inspired by the limonite presedimentation method and the addition of a regulator to magnesite slurry mixing,we used a tannin pretreatment method for separating magnesite and dolomite.Microflotation experiments confirmed that the tannin pretreatment method selectively and largely reduces the flotation recovery rate of dolomite without affecting the flotation recovery rate of magnesite.Moreover,the contact angles of the tannin-pretreated magnesite and dolomite increased and decreased,respectively,in the presence of NaOl.Zeta potential and Fourier transform infrared analyses showed that the tannin pretreatment method efficiently hinders NaOl adsorption on the dolomite surface but does not affect NaOl adsorption on the magnesite surface.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations confirmed that tannin interacts more strongly with dolomite than with magnesite.

文摘In this editorial,we offer our perspective on the groundbreaking study entitled“Hypoxia and inflammatory factor preconditioning enhances the immunosup-pressive properties of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells”,recently published in World Journal of Stem Cells.Despite over three decades of research on the clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs),only a few therapeutic products have made it to clinical use,due to multiple preclinical and clinical challenges yet to be addressed.The study proved the hypoxia and inflammatory factor preconditioning led to higher immunosuppressive effects of MSCs without damaging their biological characteristics,which revealed the combination of inflammatory factors and hypoxic preconditioning offers a promising approach to enhance the function of MSCs.As we delve deeper into the intricacies of pretreat-ment methodologies,we anticipate a transformative shift in the landscape of MSC-based therapies,ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes and advancing the field as a whole.

文摘AIM:To investigate the antioxidant protective effect of Lycium barbarum glycopeptide(LbGP)pretreatment on retinal ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury(RIRI)in rats.METHODS:RIRI was induced in Sprague Dawley rats through anterior chamber perfusion,and pretreatment involved administering LbGP via gavage for 7d.After 24h of reperfusion,serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and creatinine(CREA)levels,retinal structure,expression of Caspase-3 and Caspase-8,superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity,and malondialdehyde(MDA)in the retina were measured.RESULTS:The pretreatment with LbGP effectively protected the retina and retinal tissue from edema and inflammation in the ganglion cell layer(GCL)and nerve fiber layer(NFL)of rats subjected to RIRI,as shown by light microscopy and optical coherence tomography(OCT).Serum AST was higher in the model group than in the blank group(P=0.042),but no difference was found in ALT,AST,and CREA across the LbGP groups and model group.Caspase-3 expression was higher in the model group than in the blank group(P=0.006),but no difference was found among LbGP groups and the model group.Caspase-8 expression was higher in the model group than in the blank group(P=0.000),and lower in the 400 mg/kg LbGP group than in the model group(P=0.016).SOD activity was lower in the model group than in the blank group(P=0.001),and the decrease was slower in the 400 mg/kg LbGP group than in the model group(P=0.003).MDA content was higher in the model group than in the blank group(P=0.001),and lower in the 400 mg/kg LbGP group than in the model group(P=0.016).The pretreatment with LbGP did not result in any observed liver or renal toxicity in the model.CONCLUSION:LbGP pretreatment exhibits dosedependent anti-inflammatory,and antioxidative effects by reducing Caspase-8 expression,preventing declines of SOD activity,and decreasing MDA content in the RIRI rat model.

文摘Development of pore structures of activated carbon(AC)from activation of biomass with ZnCl_(2) relies on content and structure of cellulose/hemicellulose in the feedstock.Thermal pretreatment of biomass could induce dehydration and/or aromatization to change the structure of cellulose/hemicellulose.This might interfere with evolution of structures of AC,which was investigated herein via thermal pretreatment of willow branch(WB)from 200 to 360℃and the subsequent activation with ZnCl_(2) at 550℃.The results showed that thermal pretreatment at 360℃(WB-360)could lead to substantial pyrolysis to form biochar,with a yield of 31.9%,accompanying with nearly complete destruction of cellulose crystals and remarkably enhanced aromatic degree.However,cellulose residual in WB-360 could still be activated to form AC-360 with specific surface area of 1837.9 m~2·g^(-1),which was lower than that in AC from activation of untreated WB(AC-blank,2077.8 m~2·g^(-1)).Nonetheless,the AC-200 from activation of WB-200 had more developed pores(2113.9 m~2·g^(-1))and superior capability for adsorption of phenol,due to increased permeability of ZnCl_(2) to the largely intact cellulose structure in WB-200.The thermal pretreatment did increase diameters of micropores of AC but reduced the overall yield of AC(26.8%for AC-blank versus 18.0%for AC-360),resulting from accelerated cracking but reduced intensity of condensation.In-situ infrared characterization of the activation showed that ZnCl_(2) mainly catalyzed dehydration,dehydrogenation,condensation,and aromatization but not cracking,suppressing the formation of derivatives of cellulose and lignin in bio-oil.The thermal pretreatment formed phenolic-OH and C=O with higher chemical innerness,which changed the reaction network in activation,shifting morphology of fibrous structures in AC-blank to“melting surface”in AC-200 or AC-280.

文摘Millets are widely recognized for their nutritional significance;however, the methods employed for their processing are currently lacking. This article primarily focuses on the advanced technologies and progressions in millet dehulling and polishing. These technologies operate based on the fundamental principles of compression-shearing, abrasion-friction, and centrifugal-impact forces. Processing of millets can be challenging because of the physical characteristics and tight attachment of hull and bran to the endosperm. However, several dehullers have been designed to solve this problem for different kinds of millets. In addition, the nutritional and anti-nutritional characteristics undergo alterations due to both dehulling and polishing processes. These alterations are thoroughly examined and discussed in this article. Specifically, anti-nutrients such as tannins and phytate are predominantly found in the outer pericarp of the grain and experience a reduction after undergoing dehulling and polishing. The nutritional properties are also subjected to a reduction;however, this reduction can be mitigated by subjecting the grains to certain pretreatments before dehulling and polishing. These treatments serve to enhance dehulling efficiency and nutrient digestibility while simultaneously reducing the presence of anti-nutrients. Novel thermal and non-thermal methodologies such as microwave, hydrothermal, high-pressure processing, and ohmic heating can be employed for processing millets, thereby diminishing the loss of nutrients. Additional research can be carried out to investigate their impact on the dehulling and polishing of millets.

文摘The lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)have been widely equipped in electric/hybrid electric vehicles(EVs/HEVs)and the portable electronics due to their excellent electrochemical performances.However,a large number of retired LIBs that consist of toxic substances(e.g.,heavy metals,electrolytes)and valuable metals(e.g.,Li,Co)will inevitably flow into the waste stream,and their incineration or landfill treatment will cause severe risks to ecosystem and human beings.The sustainable and efficient treatment or recycling of valuable resources from spent LIBs should be fully recognized for environmental and resource security.As one of the most important processes for spent LIBs recycling,the pretreatment is an indispensable step,which is directly related to the subsequent metal extraction and separation processes.Although considerable progresses have been made regarding the pretreatment technologies,there are few summarized reports concerning critical processes of spent LIBs recycling,especially combination of currently available recycling technologies with industrialized applications during pretreatments.Therefore,comprehensive review of the current prevailing pretreatment technologies in laboratory to existing scale-up applications is quite necessary to reveal cutting-edge development in the field of pretreatment.In this review,the current pretreatment technologies are systematically categorized and introduced,along with critical discussions.This review focused on the various options for pretreatment processes itself,instead of general spent LIBs recycling technologies without the focused topics that have been sophisticatedly reviewed by previous studies.Here,the deactivation,discharge,dismantling,separation,liberation of active material and electrolyte treatment have been summarized with the in-depth discussion of the technology development and current status of each category.Finally,current states of industrial development are also reviewed and discussed for the development of efficient and environmentally friendly recycling technologies for future applications.This review tends to present a focused topic concerning the pretreatment of spent LIBs to potential readers with a comprehensive illustration of the development on both cutting-edge technologies and scale-up applications.
文摘BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury(II/RI)is a critical condition that results in oxidative stress,inflammation,and damage to multiple organs.Zinc,an essential trace element,offers protective benefits in several tissues during I/R injury,but its effects on intestinal II/RI remain unclear.METHODS C57BL/6 mice were pretreated with zinc sulfate(ZnSO4,10 mg/kg)daily for three days before I/R injury was induced via superior mesenteric artery occlusion(SMAO)and abdominal aortic occlusion(AAO)models.Tissue and serum samples were collected to evaluate intestinal,liver,and kidney damage using Chiu’s score,Suzuki score,and histopathological analysis.Caco-2 cells and intestinal organoids were used for in vitro hypoxia-reoxygenation injury models to measure reactive oxygen species(ROS)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)levels.RESULTS Zinc pretreatment significantly reduced intestinal damage in the SMAO and AAO models(P<0.001).The serum levels of liver enzymes(alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase)and kidney markers(creatinine and urea)were lower in the zinc-treated mice than in the control mice,indicating reduced hepatic and renal injury.In vitro,zinc decreased ROS levels and increased SOD activity in Caco-2 cells subject to hypoxia-reoxygenation injury.Intestinal organoids pretreated with zinc exhibited enhanced resilience to hypoxic injury compared to controls.CONCLUSION Zinc pretreatment mitigates II/RI and reduces associated multiorgan damage.These findings suggest that zinc has potential clinical applications in protecting against I/R injuries.
文摘In order to reduce the risk of non-performing loans, losses, and improve the loan approval efficiency, it is necessary to establish an intelligent loan risk and approval prediction system. A hybrid deep learning model with 1DCNN-attention network and the enhanced preprocessing techniques is proposed for loan approval prediction. Our proposed model consists of the enhanced data preprocessing and stacking of multiple hybrid modules. Initially, the enhanced data preprocessing techniques using a combination of methods such as standardization, SMOTE oversampling, feature construction, recursive feature elimination (RFE), information value (IV) and principal component analysis (PCA), which not only eliminates the effects of data jitter and non-equilibrium, but also removes redundant features while improving the representation of features. Subsequently, a hybrid module that combines a 1DCNN with an attention mechanism is proposed to extract local and global spatio-temporal features. Finally, the comprehensive experiments conducted validate that the proposed model surpasses state-of-the-art baseline models across various performance metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and AUC. Our proposed model helps to automate the loan approval process and provides scientific guidance to financial institutions for loan risk control.

文摘It is difficult to directly electroplate Al on Mg alloys. The effects of pretreatment parameters on the corrosion resistance of films obtained on AZ31 Mg alloy surface were studied by using potentiodynamic polarization curves, to produce a compact interfacial layer as zinc-immersion deposition. After the substrate was pretreated under optimized conditions, aluminum was electrodeposited on AZ31 from TMPAC-AlCl3 room temperature ionic liquids. The depositions were characterized by scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersion X-ray. The results show that the traditional pretreatment of Mg alloys was successfully used for the Al-electroplating process from TMPAC-AlCl3 ionic liquids. The entire procedure includes alkaline cleaning, chemical pickling, surface activation （400 mL/L HF acid, 10 min）, zinc-immersion （20 min） and anhydrous treatment. A relatively compact zinc-immersion film was prepared on the substrate surface. A silvery-colored satin aluminum deposition was obtained on AZ31 from TMPAC-AlCl3 using direct current plating.

文摘Carbonaceous gold mines are important refractory gold ores. The previous results demonstrate that the carbonaceous matter is mainly composed of elemental carbon, organic acid and hydrocarbons. The dissolved aurocyanide complex is robbed by adsorption of carbonaceous matter, which is similar to activated carbon in cyanide leaching of gold. The pretreatment methods of carbonaceous gold ores were introduced, including high temperature roasting, bio-oxidation, chemical oxidation, competitive adsorption, barrier inhibition and microwave roasting. Recently, bio-oxidation was developed rapidly due to its advantages such as mild conditions, simple processes, low energy consumption and friendly environment. The known microorganisms related with bio-oxidation pretreatment mainly are chemolithotroph bacteria such as Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, Thiobacillus thiooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans. The researches on decomposing and passivating carbonaceous matter were commenced by Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Pseudomonadaceae and Streptomyces setonii. Finally, the main problems were analyzed and the application prospect of this technique was looked forward.
