Viscosity of Soy Protein Plastics Determined by Screw-Driven Capillary Rheometry

Soy protein plastics are a renewable, biodegradable alternative to fossil fuel-based plastic resins. Processing of soy protein plastics using conventional methods (injection molding, extrusion) has met with some success. Viscosities of processable formulations that contain soy protein along with the necessary additives, such as glycerol and cornstarch, have not been reported, but are necessary for extrusion modeling and the design of extrusion dies. Resins consisting of soy protein isolate-cornstarch ratios of 4:1, 3:2, and 2:3 were plasticized with glycerol and soy oil, compounded in a twin screw extruder and adjusted to 10% moisture. The effects on viscosity of added sodium sulfite, a titanate coupling agent and recycling were evaluated using a screw-driven capillary rheometer at shear rates of 100–800/s. The viscosities fit a power-law model and were found to be shear thinning with power-law indices, n, of 0.18–0.46 and consistency indices, m, of 1.1 × 10⁴–1.0 × 10⁵. Power-law indices decreased and consistency indices increased with increasing soy protein-to-cornstarch ratio and in the absence of sodium sulfite. Addition of the titanate coupling agent resulted in increased power-law index and decreased consistency index. Viscosities at a shear rate of 400/s decreased with recycling, except for the 4:1 soy protein isolate to cornstarch formulation, which displayed evidence of wall slip. Power-law indices were unaffected by recycling. Viscosities in the tested shear rate range were comparable to polystyrene and low-density polyethylene indicating soy protein plastics are potential drop-in replacements for commodity resins on conventional plastics processing equipment.     

城市生活垃圾中可生化单基质的厌氧消化

在厌氧消化系统中,发酵细菌最主要的利用基质是淀粉、纤维素、脂肪和蛋白质等。本试验分别选取米饭、黄豆、芹菜和肥肉为上述四种基质的代表物质,通过对各物质进行的厌氧消化试验,探讨了它们的厌氧消化性能。结果表明。米饭在发酵初期降解速率最快,酸化也最明显。同时将消化初始阶段的pH控制在6．5时能使消化进入产甲烷阶段,没控制的只能停留在水解产酸阶段。将黄豆厌氧消化初期的pH控制在6．5并不能使消化顺利进行。将芹菜厌氧消化的初始pH值控制在6．5时可以加快它的降解速率。肥肉的厌氧消化也只有在对其消化进程控制pH值时才能顺利被降解。同时肥肉在厌氧消化进程中表现出了高产甲烷性能,产甲烷阶段累积产气量达13758mL,占总产气量的93．59％．     

Experimental and modeling study of de novo formation of PCDD/PCDF on MSW fly ash

The effect of sulfur dioxide （SO2） on the formation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins （PCDDs） and polychlorinated dibenzofurans （PCDFs） has been studied in an entrained-flow reactor （EFR） under simulated waste combustion conditions. A chlorination model based on conditional probability was employed to evaluate the homologue patterns of PCDDs and PCDFs. Results revealed that the presence of SO2 did not alter the formation pathway although SO2 suppressed PCDD/F formation. The prediction model of PCDF showed good agreement with the experimental data （R--0.95）, whereas the prediction for PCDDs did not correlate well with the experimental data. This may be explained because potential chlorination pathways play a significant role in PCDF formation, whereas PCDDs are mainly formed through condensation reactions. Furthermore, the result indicated that the steric hindrance during formation has more effects on PCDD than on PCDF due to the symmetric molecular structures of PCDDs.

Construction of WCB-11: A novel phiYFP arsenic-resistant whole-cell biosensor

The prediction and assessment of environmental pollution by arsenic are important preconditions of advocating environmental protection and human health risk assessment.A yellow fluorescent protein-based whole-cell biosensor for the detection of arsenite and arsenate was constructed and tested.An arsenic-resistant promoter and the regulatory gene arsR were obtained by PCR from the genome of Escherichia coli DH5α,and phiYFP was introduced into E.coli DH5α as a reporter gene to construct an arsenic-resistant whole-cell biosensor(WCB-11) in which phiYFP was expressed well for the first time.Experimental results demonstrated that the biosensor has a good response to arsenic and the expression of phiYFP.When strain WCB-11 was exposed to As 3+ and As 5+,the expression of yellow fluorescence was time-dependent and dose-dependent.This engineered construct is expected to become established as an inexpensive and convenient method for the detection of arsenic in the field.
