Fibers with low gum content were extracted from the bark of mulberry branches by a combination of bacteria and peroxide treatments. The bark of mulberry branches, with 30% cellulose, is a copious and inexpensive source of natural fibers. However, fibers extracted by microwave, enzyme or alkali had a high gum content (15.5% for hemicellulose and 8.6% for lignin), which rendered them difficult to be made into high- value textiles. In this research, strains with high polygalacturonase activities and subsequent hydrogen peroxide decreased the hemicellulose content to 2.5% and lignin content to 2.4%. Mulberry fibers in our study could be spun into yarns with a fineness of 18.2 tex. Compared to flax yarns, mulberry fiber yarns had a tenacity 20% higher, an elongation 18% higher and an unevenness 30% lower. Cotton/mulberry fiber fabrics had softer and smoother hand than cotton/flax fabrics. Overall, the fibers in our study show better potential for industrial textile applications than those in previous studies.

Kora gałęzi morwy jest bogatym i niedrogim źródłem włókien naturalnych. W pracy przedstawiono proces otrzymywania włókien z kory morwy z wykorzystaniem szczepów bakteryjnych oraz nadtlenku wodoru, co zmniejszyło zawartość hemicelulozy do 2,5% i zawartości ligniny do 2,4%. W porównaniu do przędz lnianych, przędze z włókien morwy wykazywały o 20% wyższą wytrzymałość, o 18% wyższe wydłużenie i o 30% niższą nierównomierność. Tkaniny bawełniane z dodatkiem morwy miały bardziej miękki i gładszy chwyt, niż tkaniny bawełniane z dodatkiem lnu. Stwierdzono, że metoda pozyskiwania włókien z kory morwy przy zastosowaniu bakterii i nadtlenku wodoru może być stosowana do wyodrębniania włókien morwowych w celu produkcji wyrobów o wysokiej wartości i szerokim spektrum możliwości zastosowań przemysłowych.

A simple method for separation of matrine and oxymatrine from Sophora flavescens was developed with cation exchange resin coupled with macroporous resin. Based on the adsorption characteristics of matrine and oxymatrine, 001×732 cation exchange resin was used to absorb target alkaloids for removing most of the foreign matter, while BS-65 macroporous resin was chosen to purify these alkaloids. The result showed that the equilibrium adsorption data of matrine and oxymatrine on 001×732 resin and BS-65 resin at 30°C was fitted to Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich isotherm, respectively. The contents of matrine and oxymatrine were increased from 0.73% and 2.2% in the crude extract of the root of Sophora flavescens to 67.2% and 66.8% in the final eluent products with the recoveries of 90.3% and 86.9%, respectively.

In this paper, hydrothermal approach combined with high pressure sintering method was employed to synthesize PbS. The X-ray diffraction results show that single phase PbS can be obtained by a simple hydrothermal method. The scanning electron microscope results show that the PbS sample has nearly cubic shape and preserves well crystallized and coarse grains after high pressure sintering. The thermoelectric performance of PbS obtained in this study is comparable to that of a PbS sample prepared by conventional method. The carrier type and concentration of PbS can be tuned effectively by doping with Bi. The maximum figure of merit for PbS doped with 1 mol% Bi reaches 0.44 at 550 K, which is about 30 % higher than that of undoped PbS. These results indicate that hydrothermal method provides a viable and controllable way of tuning the electrical transport and thermoelectric properties for PbS.

A pilot study for investigating a membrane bioreactor (MBR) performance in treating soy sauce wastewater was divided into three stages. At stage 1, the MBR was operated without excess sludge withdrawal, and pollutants removal increased gradually and entered into a pseudo-stable phase eventually along with increasing mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS). At stage 2, the growth of biomass and removal of pollutants were obviously decreased by lowering temperature. At stage 3, membrane permeate flux and sludge yield under various MLSSs were studied. Additional polishing steps including coagulation and oxidation were validated to be effective to ensure the treated wastewater to meet the discharge limits.

In the present work, a non-hydrostatic wave model SWASH (an acronym of Simulating WAves till SHore) is used to simulate the wave transmission over double trapezoidal submerged breakwaters. The numerical results were compared with the results of the physical model. The comparison indicated the capability of SWASH model to predict the wave transmission over double submerged breakwaters. Influencing factors such as breakwater spacing S/L0, where L0 is the deep-water wavelength, and current were investigated in detail. Moreover, the effects of current on wave transmission were also analyzed. When the relative submerged depth R/H, where R is the submerged depth and H is the wave height, remains at 1.0, the appropriate relative breakwater spacing S/L0 is about 1.11. Current has no obvious effect on the appropriate S/L0, but it will change the shape of wave spectrum. Dissipation of super harmonic wave components is more obvious than that of lower harmonic wave components.

Thermoelectric materials PbTe were synthesized by high pressure method. The microstructure and temperature dependence of thermoelectric properties were studied. Some second phases with nano-structure were found in the high pressure synthesized samples. Compared with that of PbTe prepared at an atmospheric pressure, the samples prepared by high pressure method had smaller grain sizes, lower resistivity and lower phonon thermal conductivity. The maximum figure of merit, Z reached 8.86 × 104 K1 for the sample prepared at 4 GPa. This value was about twice times higher than that of the sample prepared at ambient pressure and it matched to that of highly doped PbTe.
