  2. 1. Microstructure and rheological properties of plant particle suspensions prepared using different physical treatments

    Author : Patricia Lopez-Sanchez; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; yield stress; rheology; elastic modulus; cell wall; tomato; broccoli; plant particle suspension; microstructure; carrot;

    Abstract : Suspensions of plant particles are very common products or by-products in many industries such as food, paper and biofuel. An improved understanding of the complex relationship between microstructure and rheology of these plant systems might help design, control and predict their structural and material properties.

  4. 2. Physicochemical properties of root fiber suspensions. A comparison between parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) and yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius)

    Author : Alejandra Castro; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; physicochemical properties; parsnip; yacon; plant suspensions; particle size distribution; rheology; fructans; dietary fiber;

    Abstract : The physicochemical properties of two root suspensions, parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) and yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), were studied and compared at different concentrations and after being subjected to processes such as homogenization and heating. The study and the evaluation of the physicochemical properties of these plant materials in the form of pastes might help to increase the interest in these two roots, and possibly encourage their further industrial use.

  5. 3. Wet Low-Intensity Magnetic Separation: Measurement methods and Modelling

    Author : Jan Stener; Holger Lieberwirth; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mineralteknik; Mineral Processing;

    Abstract : In the mining industry, ferromagnetic particles (e.g. magnetite) are concentrated using wet low-intensity magnetic separation (LIMS). Mineral particles in suspension with water are pumped into the separator tank, and a magnetic concentrate is extracted by use of magnetic forces. READ MORE

  6. 4. Disintegration of Lime Mud Particles during the Causticizing Operation

    Author : Pia Tiljander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CaCO3; Ca OH 2; CaO; lime mud; mixing; particles; slaking; causticizing; disintegration; impeller;

    Abstract : It is of essential importance that the white liquor used in processing wood chips to produce pulp in the sulphate pulp process is of high and uniform quality. The white liquor is, together with lime mud, produced in the causticizing plant where sodium carbonate is causticized with lime, slaked in green liquor. READ MORE
