Preliminary investigations focused on fabricating the high emissivity powders for infrared radiation coatings and finding the relationship between microstructure and emissivity. The NiCr2O4 powders were characterized for composition, microstructure, and infrared emissivity by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, infrared radiant instrument, and Fourier transform infrared spectra （FT-IR）. Thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis show that the appropriate baking temperature for NiCr2O4 powder preparation is about 1200？C. The emissivity measurement and FT-IR spectra show that, because of the special spinel structure, the NiCr2O4 powders have a high emissivity about 0.91. Spray-drying is a suitable method to produce the high emissivity ceramic powders.展开更多

The materials were compared with non-spherical LiCr0.04Mnl.96O4 materials prepared by the common drying process, and all materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, laser particle analyzer and Brunaner-Emmett-Teller （BET） specific surface area test. Electrochemical performances of these cathode materials were studied by cyclic voltammetry （CV）, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） and Li/LiCr0.04Mn1.9604 battery test. The results show that the spherical active material is single spinel structure, compact, and with narrow particle size distribution and low BET specific surface area. Compared with the non-spherical material, the spherical material prepared by the spray drying process shows a lower electrochemical impedance, a fewer electrochemical polarization and a better charge/discharge rate capability and capacity retention at elevated temperatures.展开更多

The PL intensity of phosphors increases with the increase of x value in Y 0.9-xGd xEu 0.1BO 3 (prepared by SD) due to an energy migration process like Gd 3+-(Gd 3+) n-Eu 3+ occurred in the material. Compared with the latter two methods, the phosphor particles prepared by spray drying method have a better morphology, such as homogeneous size (about 1～3 μm) with spherical shape and smooth surface. Furthermore, the spray drying-derived phosphors have higher photoluminescence (PL) intensity than those by citrate gel method, but still a little lower than those by the solid state method.展开更多

Furthermore spray drying has the capability through drying chamber design, plant layout and mode of operation to produce dried products of specific particulate size and morphology. These are important aspects when spray drying technology is applied to the needs of customized powder manufacture. There are many examples in industry where spray dried powders have to meet stringent specifications set by such factors as end-product powder quality standards dictated by global competition,dry raw material characteristics required for optimum downstream processing, and dry materials handling to comply with environmental, health and safety issues. Spray drying is no longer regarded just as a convective industrial drying concept, but also as an integral part of modern manufacturing practices applying powder technology. This paper reviews the aspects of spray dryer design and operation for consideration when customized powder manufacture is involved.展开更多

They can improve the detergent’s efficiency due to their activities against hard stains. Nevertheless, enzymes cannot maintain their properties indefinitely, since they are exposed to stress factors, like temperature, pH, mechanical processes and others. Consequently, enzymes lose their structure and they are not functional. For this reason, microencapsulating these proteins is a feasible solution to improve their use in industrial processes and commercial products. Spray drying technology has been selected because a lot of scientific literature proved its useful application in a variety of industries. In particular, savinase and lipase are the two encapsulated enzymes in this work. Savinase attacks proteins and lipase removes fats, so they are suitable enzymes for detergent industry. Arabic gum has been used as wall material. Morphology, size and activity of the obtained microcapsules have been analyzed in order to find the best conditions to produce them. In conclusion, useful microcapsules of lipase and savinase can be obtained with the mentioned technology.展开更多

It has high instability against certain environmental factors;the main cause of its deterioration is oxidation. Microencapsulation is an effective protection technique of L-ascorbic acid from its degradation reactions. This work is focused on the encapsulation of L-ascorbic acid by spray drying technique using sodium alginate as wall material. The microcapsules morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the encapsulation efficiency was determined by spectrophotometric analysis. Results showed that encapsulation efficiency was of 93.48% and after 30 days was of 92.55%;differences were not significant, so that the stability of L-ascorbic acid was not affected. Encapsulation yields obtained were low, at around 30%, but the microcapsules morphology obtained is spherical.展开更多

The systems obtained were characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Dynamic Laser Light Scattering (DLS) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The NMR <sup>13</sup>C and FTIR techniques showed that both polymers were present in the microparticles and the DSC analysis revealed a small variation in the glass transition temperature of the PCL. The XRD and SEM analyses showed that the microparticles produced were amorphous and had a concave morphology. The NT-25 nanoload reduced the microparticles’ size due to the multiple interactions formed in the hybrid nanocomposite material. Therefore, it was possible to develop microparticles by using biodegradable and biocompatible polymers, with different polarities, allowing the incorporation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials and enabling the inclusion of otherwise incompatible materials in the same system.展开更多

In comparison to the conventional HE sintering processing, microwave sintering to W-15Cu can be achieved at lower sintering temperature and shorter sintering time. Furthermore, higher performances in microwave sintered compacts were obtained, but high microwave sintering temperature or long microwave sintering time could result in coarser microstructures.展开更多

文摘Multifunctional fillers are greatly required for dental resin composites(DRCs).In this work,a spray dryer with a three-fluid nozzle was applied for the first time to construct high-performance complex nanoparticle clusters(CNCs)consisting of different functional nanofillers for dental restoration.The application of a three-fluid nozzle can effectively avoid the aggregation of different nanoparticles with opposite zeta potentials before the spray drying process in order to construct regularly shaped CNCs.For a SiO_(2)–ZrO_(2) binary system,the SiO_(2)–ZrO_(2) CNCs constructed using a three-fluid nozzle maintained their excellent mechanical properties((133.3±4.7)MPa,(8.8±0.5)GPa,(371.1±13.3)MPa,and(64.5±0.7)HV for flexural strength,flexural modulus,compressive strength,and hardness of DRCs,respectively),despite the introduction of ZrO_(2) nanoparticles,whereas their counterparts constructed using a two-fluid nozzle showed significantly decreased mechanical properties.Furthermore,heat treatment of the SiO_(2)-ZrO_(2) CNCs significantly improved the mechanical properties and radiopacity of the DRCs.The DRCs containing over 10%mass fraction ZrO_(2) nanoparticles can meet the requirement for radiopaque fillers.More importantly,this method can be expanded to ternary or quaternary systems.DRCs filled with SiO_(2)-ZrO_(2)-ZnO CNCs with a ratio of 56:10:4 displayed high antibacterial activity(antibacterial ratio>99%)in addition to excellent mechanical properties and radiopacity.Thus,the three-fluid nozzle spray drying technique holds great potential for the efficient construction of multifunctional cluster fillers for DRCs.
文摘Spray drying is an important continuous industrial process for drying pumpable liquid formulations irrespective of their heat sensitivity, rheology, solids content and processing rate. Furthermore spray drying has the capability through drying chamber design, plant layout and mode of operation to produce dried products of specific particulate size and morphology. These are important aspects when spray drying technology is applied to the needs of customized powder manufacture. There are many examples in industry where spray dried powders have to meet stringent specifications set by such factors as end-product powder quality standards dictated by global competition,dry raw material characteristics required for optimum downstream processing, and dry materials handling to comply with environmental, health and safety issues. Spray drying is no longer regarded just as a convective industrial drying concept, but also as an integral part of modern manufacturing practices applying powder technology. This paper reviews the aspects of spray dryer design and operation for consideration when customized powder manufacture is involved.

[Method] The effect of processing parameters which included the different wall material combination,the ratio between the wall material,the core material content and the feed concentration on the efficiency and yield of microencapsulated was evaluated by single factor experiments. [Result] Through orthogonal optimization experiments, the optimum condition was as follows: the ratio of Arabic gum and maltodextrin ration was 1∶1, the core content was 25%, feed composition was 18%, and the microencapsulation efficiency and yield can reach 80.7% and 95.3% respectively. [Conclusion] The microcapsulaiton of onion oil with complex coacervation spray drying method can increase membrane thickness, improve core stability and prolong shelf life of products.
文摘Enzymes have been used in detergents over the years. They can improve the detergent’s efficiency due to their activities against hard stains. Nevertheless, enzymes cannot maintain their properties indefinitely, since they are exposed to stress factors, like temperature, pH, mechanical processes and others. Consequently, enzymes lose their structure and they are not functional. For this reason, microencapsulating these proteins is a feasible solution to improve their use in industrial processes and commercial products. Spray drying technology has been selected because a lot of scientific literature proved its useful application in a variety of industries. In particular, savinase and lipase are the two encapsulated enzymes in this work. Savinase attacks proteins and lipase removes fats, so they are suitable enzymes for detergent industry. Arabic gum has been used as wall material. Morphology, size and activity of the obtained microcapsules have been analyzed in order to find the best conditions to produce them. In conclusion, useful microcapsules of lipase and savinase can be obtained with the mentioned technology.
文摘L-ascorbic acid is a water soluble vitamin (vitamin C) widely used as an additive in foods and cosmetics. It has high instability against certain environmental factors;the main cause of its deterioration is oxidation. Microencapsulation is an effective protection technique of L-ascorbic acid from its degradation reactions. This work is focused on the encapsulation of L-ascorbic acid by spray drying technique using sodium alginate as wall material. The microcapsules morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the encapsulation efficiency was determined by spectrophotometric analysis. Results showed that encapsulation efficiency was of 93.48% and after 30 days was of 92.55%;differences were not significant, so that the stability of L-ascorbic acid was not affected. Encapsulation yields obtained were low, at around 30%, but the microcapsules morphology obtained is spherical.
文摘In this study, nanostructured microparticles was developed with polycaprolactone (PCL), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL) and nanoparticles of the commercial sodium clay NT-25®by using the spray drying technique. The systems obtained were characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Dynamic Laser Light Scattering (DLS) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The NMR <sup>13</sup>C and FTIR techniques showed that both polymers were present in the microparticles and the DSC analysis revealed a small variation in the glass transition temperature of the PCL. The XRD and SEM analyses showed that the microparticles produced were amorphous and had a concave morphology. The NT-25 nanoload reduced the microparticles’ size due to the multiple interactions formed in the hybrid nanocomposite material. Therefore, it was possible to develop microparticles by using biodegradable and biocompatible polymers, with different polarities, allowing the incorporation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials and enabling the inclusion of otherwise incompatible materials in the same system.

文摘The effects of microwave sintering and conventional H2 sintering on the microstructure and properties of W-15Cu alloy using ultrafine W-15Cu composite powder fabricated by spray drying ＆ calcining-continuous reduction technology were investigated. In comparison to the conventional HE sintering processing, microwave sintering to W-15Cu can be achieved at lower sintering temperature and shorter sintering time. Furthermore, higher performances in microwave sintered compacts were obtained, but high microwave sintering temperature or long microwave sintering time could result in coarser microstructures.

文摘The stability of liposomes is fundamental for incorporating polyphenols into foods,but their applicability depends on the drying method.Drying can modify particle properties,bioactive retention,and the economicenvironmental impact.Therefore,comparing different drying methods is key to selecting the most suitable alternative.This study evaluated freeze-drying,microwave vacuum drying,and spray drying to determine their effects on particle properties,energy,and environmental performance.Liposomes were formulated using chi-tosan concentrations of 0.1%-1% and homogenized at 13,500 rpm for 2-10 min.Response Surface Method-ology was applied to optimize particle size and encapsulation efficiency,identifying 0.1%chitosan and 10 min of homogenization as the optimal conditions.Freeze-drying provided the highest polyphenol retention(517.83 mg/g GAE)and antioxidant activity(40.64%)but resulted in powders with a relatively high moisture content.Vacuum microwave drying significantly reduced CO_(2) emissions(8.06 kg CO_(2)/kg)and processing time,offering a more sustainable alternative.Spray drying produced the smallest particle size(593 nm),the lowest moisture content(1.26%),and the highest solubility(87.36%),yielding powders with superior technological performance and stability.While spray drying required more energy than vacuum microwave drying,it demonstrated the best balance between quality,scalability,and environmental sustainability.This study highlights,for the first time,the application of microwave drying to liposome drying,as well as the study of energy efficiency and CO_(2) emissions in liposome drying technologies.Overall,spray drying has the potential for a viable industrial stage in the production of chitosan-coated liposomal powders intended for functional food applications.

文摘In this study,a co-microencapsulated system was developed using spray drying,integrating Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and betalains extracted from pitahaya(Hylocereus ocamponis).A combination of pitahaya peel flour with whey protein concentrate(WPC)or gum arabic(GA)respectively was used as wall materials to form co-microcapsules in a 1:8 ratio.The co-microcapsules obtained were incorporated into yoghurt as a functional matrix.The co-microcapsules made with GA showed a higher retention of total betalains(93.93%)at the end of the drying process and after storage(8 months),as well as a higher antioxidant capacity,as measured by DPPH and ABTS,compared to WPC co-microcapsules.However,the latter showed higher viability of L.paracasei after drying(1.45 x 10^(11) CFU/g)and after eight months of storage(4.75 x 10^(8) CFU/g).The yoghurt with co-microcapsules exhibited a pale pink colour,a lower percentage of syneresis,and adequate rheological properties.These results demonstrate the potential of pitahaya juice and peel and L.paracasei as an innovative strategy for the development of functional foods with enhanced antioxidant and probiotic benefits.
文摘Natural plant pigments,especially anthocyanins have gained significant attention in recent years,primarily due to their pharmacological significance.However,they are unstable and prone to degradation due to processing factors such as temperature,light exposure,oxidation and/or pH change.Encapsulation is one of the widely accepted techniques to protect the natural colorants from degradation.Maltodextrin was a commonly used carrier due to its high solubility in juice,neutral taste and low viscosity properties.The study aimed to evaluate the effects of maltodextrin(10–25%)on the physicochemical properties of spray dried microcapsules of anthocyanin rich jaboticaba juice.Jaboticaba berries were blended and subjected to ultrasonication to enhance anthocyanin extraction in the juice.Particle shrinkage was observed for microcapsules containing 25%maltodextrin,despite the microcapsules achieved the highest encapsulation efficiency,97.1%and total anthocyanin content.Although maltodextrin content more than 15%resulted in the highest lightness of jaboticaba microcapsules,their colour intensity expressed in chroma was reduced.In contrast,15%maltodextrin produced spherical microcapsules with a narrow range of particle size(6.42–8.65μm)and exhibited intermediate flowability and compressibility.Microcapsules with 15%maltodextrin retained the highest content of cyanidin 3-glucoside(51 mg/L),though their encapsulation efficiency was only 65%.Based on the physicochemical examination,15%maltodextrin was the most suitable composition for encapsulating jaboticaba juice.More importantly,it retained the highest cyanidin 3-glucoside content and produced monodisperse and micronscale size capsules.
