Resolved Young Binary Systems And Their Disks

We have conducted a survey of young single and multiple systems in the Taurus–Auriga star-forming region with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), substantially improving both the spatial resolution and sensitivity with which individual protoplanetary disks in these systems have been observed. These ALMA observations can resolve binary separations as small as 25–30 au and have an average 3σ detection level of 0.35 mJy, equivalent to a disk mass of 4 × 10−5 M ⊙ for an M3 star. Our sample was constructed from stars that have an infrared excess and/or signs of accretion and have been classified as Class II. For the binary and higher-order multiple systems observed, we detect λ = 1.3 mm continuum emission from one or more stars in all of our target systems. Combined with previous surveys of Taurus, our 21 new detections increase the fraction of millimeter-detected disks to over 75% in all categories of stars (singles, primaries, and companions) earlier than spectral type M6 in the Class II sample. Given the wealth of other information available for these stars, this has allowed us to study the impact of multiplicity with a much larger sample. While millimeter flux and disk mass are related to stellar mass as seen in previous studies, we find that both primary and secondary stars in binary systems with separations of 30–4200 au have lower values of millimeter flux as a function of stellar mass than single stars. We also find that for these systems, the circumstellar disk around the primary star does not dominate the total disk mass in the system and contains on average 62% of the total mass

Wall material selection for microencapsulating glicine max and punica granatum oils by spray drying.

Pomegranate seed oil, even though highly sensitive to oxidation, has been extensively studied due to its anti-inflammatory potential. Microencapsulation by spray drying can protect the oil and increase its shelf life. Modified starch, maltodextrin and gum arabic are evaluated by a mixture design to get the better wall material composition. The better response for drying process yield (41%) and oxidative stability (42%) were achieved using modified starch and gum arabic at the same proportion as wall material

Metals recovery from spent Zn-MnO2 batteries by Hydrometallurgy

A hydrometallurgical process for recycling spent Zn-MnO2 batteries was developed, involving leaching with sulfuric acid, purification by precipitation and metals separation for further recovery. Leaching of zinc oxide was easily attained while for manganese oxide was rather difficult depending on temperature and acid concentration. At 90ºC and with the liquid/solid ratio of 20 L/kg, more than 95% of zinc is recovered in 30 minutes with 0.5M H2SO4. To attain similar recovery for manganese, higher levels of acid concentration and time are needed (e.g 0.7 M and 2 hours). After leaching a purification step is necessary to remove iron co-dissolved through Fe(III) precipitation. Separation of zinc from manganese by solvent extraction with 1M DEHPA follows in the process route. The countercurrent multistage separation diagram developed allows the production of a zinc electrolyte with 120 g/L Zn and 0.005 g/L Mn, and a raffinate with 16 g/L Mn and 0.013 g/L Zn

Módulos de pré-concentração miniaturizados mediante o uso da tecnologia LTCC e zeólitas.

A conjugação do binômio miniaturizaçãointegração tem permitido estabelecer a base conceitual para o desenvolvimento de uma nova geração de dispositivos miniaturizados, capazes de integrar todas as etapas necessárias para a realização de uma análise química. As cerâmicas verdes apresentam-se muito mais versáteis que qualquer dos materiais com os quais já se trabalhou até o momento no campo da miniaturização, dado que permitem a construção de dispositivos tridimensionais, de uma maneira rápida e simples. O objetivo desse trabalho é avaliar a zeólita natural como material para a construção de filtros empregados na préconcentração de fosfatos presentes na água, mediante sua integração em um dispositivo reutilizável baseado em cerâmicas verdes
