Preparation and Properties of Waterborne Raw Lacquer SUN Xiang-ling, WU Guo-min, KONG Zhen-wu 2014, 48 (4):  18-22.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1673-5854.2014.04.004 Abstract ( 730 )   PDF (843KB) ( 1328 )   Save Waterborne dispersion of raw lacquer(WRL) was prepared by composite emulsifier. The effects of types and the content of emulsifier, as well as the ratio of different emulsifiers on the stability of emulsion and phase inversion were investigated. The particle size, morphology and mechanical properties of the WRL film were examined by TEM and TG. It was shown that the emulsification could be improved by using composite emulsifier of OP-10/SDS/PVA and the optimum mass proportion was 7:3:10. The dispersion had a good stability, and its particle size was not more than 800 nm when the dosage of composite emulsifier reached 10% of raw lacquer by weight. The film of WRL had excellent mechanical properties, thermal-stability and resistance to chemicals and pollution. It was similar to raw lacquer. Pencil hardness, adhesion and flexibility were 4H, 2 grade and 0.5 mm, respectively. The square impact strength of the films was increased from 35 cm to 50 cm and the reverse impact strength was increased from 25 cm to 50 cm. The formation time was shortened form 4-5 to 3 days.

Application of Multivariate Composite Enzymatic Hydrolysis in Extraction of the Diosgenin from Yellow Ginger LI Wen-jun, WANG Cheng-zhang, ZHANG Shui-jing, LU Li 2014, 48 (4):  23-27.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1673-5854.2014.04.005 Abstract ( 717 )   PDF (876KB) ( 1317 )   Save This paper focused on the impact factors of enzymatic hydrolysis by applying multivariate composite enzyme in the process. The results indicated that the quaternary multivariate composite enzyme, i.e.alkaline pectinase+tannase+hemicellulase+β-glycosidase, had the best degradation effect. The highest yield of diosgenin was 4.34%, when the condition was 1.5% compound enzyme of turmeric under 50℃, pH value 6.5, solid-liquid ratio of 1:4 and ethanol as extraction solvent for 10 h. Compared with the traditional acid hydrolysis which yield was only 1.61%,application of multivariate composite enzyme hydrolysis can improve the highest yield of diosgenin to 1.69 times.

When the implantation energy was 10 keV, and the implantation doses were 150×1014 and 200×1014 N+/cm2, three high yield mutant strains were obtained.Their cellulase yield reached 3.300 IU/mL, and improved over 20.0% than that of original strain(2.698 IU/mL). Furthermore, mutant strains had better heredity stability after five passages. Plackett-Burman and central composite rotatable design experiment were applied to optimize the concentration of nutrient factors for cellulase production. The changing patterns of glucose, wheat bran and microcrystalline cellulose were obtained, and the corresponding response surface analysis diagram were also obtained. Experimental results showed that glucose, wheat bran and microcrystalline cellulose had an individual significant influence on cellulose production. The optimum concentration of nutrient factors for cellulase production was 4.9 g/L of glucose, 23.0 g/L of wheat bran, and 7.7 g/L of microcrystalline cellulose. Under the optimized conditions, the cellulase yield of T.reesei 150-1-1 reached 2.439 IU/mL, with a 22% increase than that before optimization. References | Related Articles | Metrics
