Summary: Emulsion particles are found when ethanol is mixed into immiscible or miscible liquids, providing a space for crystallization. The size change of emulsion particles, influenced by the amount of ethanol, can explain the change in crystallization environment until a supersaturation state is reached. This is believed to be a key indicator of the ASC mechanism prior to nucleation.

Summary: The aspect ratio modulation in the alcoholysis process has a significant impact on the production of high-quality sucralose. In this study, antisolvent crystallization accompanied by preferred orientation was used to separate sucralose, allowing for simultaneous modulations on aspect ratio, solubility, and stability. The use of isovaleric acid as the antisolvent achieved the highest separation efficiency, fastest crystallizing rate, lowest aspect ratio, and good stability of sucralose. Single crystal structures were determined, and the results showed that the choice of antisolvent influenced the molecular distortion and intermolecular hydrogen bonding of sucralose, affecting its aspect ratio, solubility, and stability. The strongest methanol-IVA interactions accelerated the formation of the emulsion, resulting in the fastest crystallizing rate. The findings and mechanisms discovered in this study provide a theoretical guide for the production of high-quality sucralose.

Summary: This study presents an efficient methodology for constructing the phase diagram of a ternary system consisting of compound, solvent, and antisolvent in the antisolvent crystallization process. The methodology is exemplified with four model compounds and includes clear point temperature measurements to obtain solubilities of single solvent and mixed solvent-antisolvent systems. The results show non-linear solubility dependencies and more complex solubility behavior as a function of antisolvent fraction. A semi-empirical model equation is used to describe the phase diagram as a function of temperature and antisolvent fraction, allowing for the identification of optimal conditions in continuous antisolvent crystallization processes.

Summary: The addition of hydrogen to anaerobic digesters for biomethane production is a promising technique, but its success relies heavily on efficient gas-liquid transfer. A computational fluid dynamic model was developed to simulate gas-liquid dynamics during hydrogen injection, highlighting the importance of gas flow and bubble size. The study showed that increasing gas flow may not effectively reduce inactive zones in digesters, and that smaller bubble sizes resulted in higher gas-liquid mass transfer rates.

Summary: This study used temperature-variable nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to explore the impact of a solubilizing agent on the ketoprofen (KTP) supersaturation region. The results showed that the solubilizing agent CTAB increased both the crystalline and amorphous solubilities of KTP, shifting the supersaturation region to a higher concentration range. The effect of CTAB on the supersaturation region differed depending on the enantiomeric composition, and CTAB also affected the distribution of KTP during liquid-liquid phase separation. The findings emphasize the importance of considering the molecular-level impact of solubilizing agents on drug supersaturation for optimized formulations.

Summary: This study investigates the enhancement possibilities of the temperature cycle-induced deracemization (TCID) process by adjusting the solubility through solvent system compositions. The research shows that combined cooling and antisolvent crystallization (CCAS) can accelerate deracemization by increasing solubility at the beginning of the process and reducing it as deracemization progresses. The study also demonstrates that higher solubility leads to a higher deracemization rate, although it may affect the yield. Additionally, the use of CCAS can improve both the yield and the product's enantiomeric excess (EE). The study includes a case of Glutamic acid deracemization using water as the solvent and acetic acid as the antisolvent, with comprehensive solubility measurements.

Summary: This paper focuses on the treatment of dyeing wastewater using the foam separation process, which offers advantages over traditional methods. The separation ability of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) for methylene blue (MB) was compared, with SDBS found to be a better surfactant for obtaining a concentrated solution of MB in the foamate. The method of enhancing foam drainage by inserting an inverted funnel resulted in a doubled MB concentration in the foamate. Operating variables were optimized using the Taguchi method and Grey relational analysis, with the concentration of MB identified as the most responsive parameter for both separation parameters.

Summary: A methodology based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics principles is developed to estimate the extremum dissipation point for steady-state incompressible flow past a sphere at low Reynolds numbers. It is found that the extremum dissipation point occurs when both the shear stress and pressure at the sphere surface are zero. The Reynolds number and position of the extremum dissipation flow past a sphere are estimated using a mathematical model for pressure distribution, taking into account both creeping and ideal flow. The model parameters are determined by comparing the calculated pressure distribution with literature data. The conditions for the coincidence of separation angle and extremum dissipation angle are also investigated. This work can contribute to a better understanding of flow past a sphere.

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.
