Energy saving and high efficiency production oriented forward-and-reverse multidirectional turning: Energy modeling and application

The energy modeling has been recognized as an effective analytical methodology and management tool that helps to predict the energy consumption and to manage the efficiency and performance of energy utilization. With a wide distribution and large amount of energy consumption at a low efficiency, the mechanical manufacturing industry has considerable energy saving potential. In this study, a new method of energy conservation and high efficiency production oriented multidirectional turning is proposed to overcome the performance deficiencies of traditional turning in the mechanical manufacturing industry. Based on energy and production performance analysis, the energy consumption model of the forward-and-reverse multidirectional turning is established through the process stage-oriented modeling method. Besides, the case study indicates the high (more than 97%) accuracy of the proposed energy consumption model for forward-and-reverse multidirectional turning. This study contributes to a new production method and energy models to reduce energy consumption and improve production efficiency.

A New Human Platelet Lysate for Mesenchymal Stem Cell Production Compliant with Good Manufacturing Practice Conditions.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are classified as advanced therapy medicinal products, a new category of GMP (good manufacturing practice)-compliant medicines for clinical use. We isolated MSCs from 5 bone marrow (BM) samples using human platelet lysate (HPL) instead of foetal bovine serum (FBS). We used a new method of HPL production consisting of treating platelet (PLTs) pools with Ca-Gluconate to form a gel clot, then mechanically squeezing to release growth factors. We compared the new HPL (HPL-S) with the standard (HPL-E) obtained by freezing/thawing cycles and by adding heparin. HPL-S had not PLTs and fibrinogen but the quantity of proteins and growth factors was comparable to HPL-E. Therefore, HPL-S needed fewer production steps to be in compliance with GMP conditions. The number of colonies forming unit-fibroblasts (CFU-F) and the maintenance of stem markers showed no significant differences between MSCs with HPL-E and HPL-S. The cumulative population doubling was higher in MSCs with HPL-E in the earlier passages, but we observed an inverted trend of cell growth at the fourth passage. Immunophenotypic analysis showed a significant lower expression of HLA-DR in the MSCs with HPL-S (1.30%) than HPL-E (14.10%). In conclusion, we demonstrated that HPL-S is an effective alternative for MSC production under GMP conditions.

Cluster Pumping Station with Autonomous Power Supply and a System of Thermal Water and Gas Reservoir Treatment as Energy-Saving Means

The article deals with the problem of associated gas utilization in the development of fields containing hydrogen sulfide, a fundamentally new method of oil production by influencing the oil reservoir is proposed. A scheme for using this gas in the process of the working agent pumping to maintain reservoir pressure is proposed. A method of oil production by treating the formation is considered, including oil withdrawal from the producing well, separation of water and associated gas from it in the separator, gas combustion in the heat engine, the use of the energy obtained in the engine to drive pumps and an electric generator, heating water and pumping it into the formation, pumping combustion products into the formation, characterized in that the gas supplied to the heat engine is taken from the producing well annulus and due to this, the pressure in the annulus is regulated, regardless of the pressure in the linear oil pipeline, ensuring maximum gas withdrawal while maintaining the optimal dynamic level in the well for a given operation mode, the gas from the separator is pumped into the reservoir, and the water is heated to a temperature higher than the melting point of paraffin for this field. The article offers a solution to this problem by generating electricity directly in the oil field using a heat engine. At the same time, hot water is pumped into the reservoir. The water is heated by the combustion products of the heat engine, which employs annular gas as fuel. The proposed method allows water to be heated to a temperature exceeding the melting point of paraffin and characterized in that the water is heated in a mixing heat exchanger. The proposed solution is characterized in that the combustion products together with the gas coming from the separator are pumped into the reservoir using water-gas technologies. It is important that nitrogen is separated from the combustion products, and the remaining gases are pumped into the formation, and gas is additionally supplied to the input of the heat engine from an external source.

Effects of waterborne polyurethane on storage stability, rheological properties, and VOCs emission of crumb rubber modified asphalt

Crumb rubber modified asphalt (CRMA) has been put forward and become a research hotspot due to the environmental pressure and the actual demand for road engineering. However, worrying issues such as poorer storage stability and more serious VOCs emissions have emerged one after another. In this work, waterborne polyurethane (WPU) was employed as the shell material to package the crumb rubber (CR) to prepare a porous composite modifier (CM) by solvent volatilization. The effects of WPU on storage stability, rheological properties, and VOCs release of CRMA were investigated. The experimental results indicate that the asphalt with CM as a modifier (CMMA) has better high temperatures storage stability than traditional CRMA. The temperature sweep experiment designates that CM can improve the high temperatures performance of the asphalt binder by increasing the rutting factor (G*/sin δ) and complex modulus (G*), but the fatigue performance is slightly weakened. The direct tensile tests (DTT) demonstrate that the fracture energy of CMMA is slightly lower than that of CRMA but still 2.3 times that of virgin asphalt. Moreover, GC-MS test results prove that the VOCs emission of CMMA is extremely lower than that of CRMA and virgin asphalt. The nitrogen adsorption test of CM and CM's SEM images suggest that the inhibition mechanism of VOCs by CM might be the synergistic effect of adsorption and shielding. The conclusions of this study can provide a new method of cleaner production with a lower carbon footprint for building materials such as asphalt.

The new method of production of high-density concretes

In numerous works bySoviet and foreign authors, a significant role is assigned to the density ofconcrete in the formation of its structure and physical and mechanical properties. It is noted thatone of the important tasks of concrete technology is to find conditions that provide the possibilityof obtaining the maximum density. As is known, it is POSSIBLE to solve this problem byreducing the W/C to values at which the mixing water completely interacts with cement, and atthe same time, the maximum compaction of the concretemixture is ensured, which practicallyexcludes the presence of a gas phase in it.

Development of the original whey‐based vinegar using rapeseed meal or wheat bran as a raw material for koji

Here, a novel whey-based vinegar, called lacto-vinegar, was developed. Rapeseed meal (RM) or wheat bran (WB) was used as a raw material for making koji. Whey solution was first saccharified with the RM/WB-koji and then transformed into an alcoholic beverage via fermentation with Zymomonas mobilis. The alcoholic product was further brewed into vinegar with Acetobacter pasteurianus. The resulting lacto-vinegar contained about 4% (vol/vol) acetic acid. Several analyses revealed that lacto-vinegar made using RM-koji was superior to that made using WB-koji in terms of amino acid composition, antihypertensive activity, and antioxidant capacity, indicating that RM is more beneficial than WB as a raw material for making koji in lacto-vinegar production. In addition, the lacto-vinegar had higher nutritional and functional values than those of conventional vinegar available on the market. Thus, the novel lacto-vinegar brewing method developed in this study would expand the possibilities of whey utilization. Novelty impact statement The utilization of whey by developing a new method of vinegar production was presented. A novel whey-based vinegar (lacto-vinegar) fermented using rapeseed meal (RM) as a raw material for koji had much higher amino acid content, antihypertensive effect, and antioxidant capacity than the commercial vinegar. The koji production by fermenting RM with Aspergillus oryzae resulted in the formation of sinapic acid derivatives with unknown structures as antioxidants.

A new calculation method of viscoplastic heat production generated by plastic flow of friction stir welding process

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid phase welding method. The weld forming and welding quality are related to the heat production generated by plastic flow during FSW process. Therefore, it is of great importance to measure the viscoplastic heat production during FSW process. In this paper, firstly, taking the welding system during quasi-steady state welding stage as a rotary viscosity measuring meter, the relationship between viscous moment and viscosity is deduced. Secondly, the analysis model for plastic flow around welding pin in FSW process is established by applying the principle of fluid dynamics. The relationship between the temperature gradient on the surface of welding pin, the rotation rate of the FSW machine and viscous torque is obtained. Lastly, a new calculation method for viscoplastic heat production in FSW process is proposed with the help of numerical simulation. To verify the validity of the new calculation method, several groups of friction stir welding experiments are carried on. • The welding system during quasi-steady state welding stage is taken as a rotary viscosity measuring meter. • The analysis model for plastic flow around welding pin in FSW process is established. • A calculation method only related to rotation rate for viscoplastic heat is proposed.

Effective Method of Production Using Parallax Scrolling

Modern society has a culture that consumes mobile-based content. Despite this trend, the contents emphasizing the device characteristics were not diversified and a particular method of production has not yet been developed. For this method proposal, the objective of this work is to produce content that emphasizes spatiality, while simultaneously differentiating it from content using existing parallax scrolling techniques. Based on this situation, we herein developed mobile contents that produced 3D stereoscopic effects by reconstructing the existing 2D webtoon “Tilly the Spiky Hands” as the main content. In this study, we examine the technical elements of parallax and present the results of functions developed through screen and functional elements. This work is meaningful in terms of technology and culture by presenting a new method of production using these mobile characteristics.

Producing metabolic complexes of probiotic microorganisms with significant antimicrobial properties

The aim of the work – to produce metabolic complexes with significant antibacterial properties using a new proprietary method and to substantiate the prospects of their use for designing of antimicrobial polyfunctional drugs. Materials and methods. Metabolic complexes of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus plantarum, Saccharomyces boulardii, Enterococcus faecium were obtained by culturing the producers in ultrasonic disintegrates of other probiotic microorganisms. Sensitivity of antibiotic-resistant strains of Escherichia coli PR and Staphylococcus haemolyticus PR was determined by qualitative method. The suspension of test-cultures (optical density of 1.0 units on the McFarland scale) after incubation with metabolites (2, 24 and 48 hours at 37 °C) was inoculated into Mueller–Hinton agar. The absence of growth was indicative of the metabolic complexes antibacterial activity against the microorganism. Results. Cultivation of S. boulardii in the S. boulardii / L. rhamnosus / L. plantarum / E. faecium disintegrates, L. plantarum – in the L. rhamnosus / E. faecium disintegrates and L. rhamnosus – in the L. plantarum disintegrates was accompanied by an increase in the biomass of isolated microorganisms (P ≤ 0.03) and production of metabolites. Along with a similar increase in S. boulardii cells in the S. boulardii / L. rhamnosus / L. plantarum / E. faecium disintegrates, the metabolic products of lactobacterial and enterococcal disintegrates exhibited more active inhibitory effects against E. coli PR and S. haemolyticus PR. The increased antibacterial activity indicates the advantage of the new method. Another improvement is the extended spectrum of metabolic complexes owing to producer cultivation in the other probiotic disintegrates to obtain original biologically active substances with high antibacterial properties against pathogens. Among the strength of the method is that all the stages are unified into a single process avoiding multiphase procedure for the separate preparation of one probiotic microorganism disintegrate and the metabolic products of another. Conclusions. Disintegrates as a nutrient medium can be used not only for their own producers, but also for other strains/species and various probiotic microorganisms (fungi and bacteria). The increase in antibacterial activity of metabolic complexes has been found using the new method of production. The prospects of antimicrobial polyfunctional drugs designing on this basis have been proved.

Destruction and reconstruction of the capital structure

One of the entrepreneurial strategies that, according to Schumpeter, is responsible for the capitalistic process of Creative Destruction is the introduction of a new method of production (Schumpeter 2003, 83).
 Austrian economics characterizes a «method of production» as a set of capital goods and original factors of production inserted into an entrepreneurial plan, which is directed to satisfy consumer needs. Therefore, we could say that capital goods do not work in isolation, but as parts of two structures: they develop a role in the individual plan of the entrepreneur and also in the spontaneous social order that unintentionally results from the coordination of the different entrepreneurial plans.
 In this context, the introduction of a new method of production implies that at least one entrepreneur tries to modify his plan either by rearranging his combination of capital goods and original factors of production (due to a change in consumer preferences or due to the appearance of some new technology) or by using new capital goods or new original factors of production (due to the discovery of a new technology or due to an increase in savings). Thus, both cases require the entrepreneur to disrupt not only his previous plan, but also the existing links with other plans in the incumbent capital structure.
 This obviously raises the question of whether these disruptions lead to a progressive and sustained capital accumulation or if, on the contrary, they cause a necessary destruction of some capital goods.
 At least since Cantillon and Turgot economists have taught that progress and growth depend partially on the quantity of capital, which tends to increase gradually with the level of savings. However, Schumpeter’s claim —that the introduction of a new method of production implies a Creative Destruction process— seems to suggest that some capital will be lost with the new investments. We would have, on the one hand, more capital by means of the creation of new plans but, on the other, less capital because of the disruption of the existing plans.
 Although this approach may be initially shocking, only by departing from the erroneous idea that all capital goods are homogeneous one could consistently claim that new methods of production do not destroy any capital at all, i.e., only supposing that capital goods combinations and structures are irrelevant in relation to their final output, the view of a non-disturbable capital accumulation could be held. Once heterogeneity of capital goods comes into the picture, it is no longer possible to believe in such a hypothesis.

Creation of multi-component fruit and vegetable semi-finished products and confectionery on their basis with health properties

A new method of production of multicomponent fruit and vegetable semi-finished products and sugar confectionery products, in particular pastilles, on its basis has been developed. The recipe of semi-finished products is chosen taking into account the health properties, which consists of apples, pumpkins, beets, sea buckthorn and chokeberry. For concentration processes during the production of the semi-finished product, advanced apparatus based on a radiating flexible film resistive electric heater (RFFREH) is used. Rational modes of processing of vegetable raw materials are set for the developed apparatus. Studies of structural and mechanical properties of the proposed multicomponent fruit and vegetable pastes and purees are presented. Analysis of these structural and mechanical properties shows the advantage of multi-component fruit and vegetable paste with apple puree – 30%, pumpkin – 20%, beets – 10%, sea buckthorn – 20% and chokeberry – 20%. The use of fruit and vegetable pastes in the technology of pastille gives the products a pleasant taste and aroma, due to which it is possible to use the paste as a natural flavor and dye, without the use of synthetic ones. The use of the developed fruit and vegetable paste in technologies of sugar confectionery, namely pastilles is offered. The optimal application of fruit and vegetable paste is 40% replacement of apple puree, which will provide a significant increase of physiologically functional ingredients in the product.

OXIDATION PRODUCTS OF ETHYLBENZENE AND ITS SUBSTITUTED BY OZONE IN ACETIC ACID

Based on the obtained kinetic regularities and the mixture of the products of the reaction of ethylbenzene oxidation with ozone in acetic acid, the scientific bases of the technology of synthesis of acetophenone was developed. It is shown that in the ozonation conditions, in the presence of manganese (II) acetate, it is possible to direct oxidation mainly through the ethyl group of the substrate with the formation of aromatic products. The technological parameters are studied and the optimal conditions for the process realization are ascertained. The obtained experimental and theoretical results allowed us to propose a new low-temperature low-waste method of acetophenone production, which ensures the efficiency of the process due to the mild oxidation conditions (288 K, atmospheric pressure) and the reduction of toxic waste. The technology can be an alternative to existing methods of the synthesis of aromatic ketones.

Effects of Silanes on the Structure and Properties of Chromium-Free Passivation

Steel is one of the most widely used metal materials, and corrosion of steel surfaces is a serious problem. Traditional chromate passivation produces hexavalent chromium with high toxicity and carcinogenicity. To solve toxicity and pollution problems, a chromium-free passivation method was adopted to replace the traditional process. Based on the reaction mechanisms of some silane coupling agents, a new method of chromium-free passivation and anti-white rust production is presented in this paper. The chromium-free passivation process of an inorganic material-silane-resin composite was used in the study. The microstructure and corrosion resistance of a hot-dip galvanized sheet and silane passivation film were compared by using a neutral salt spray test, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The mechanism of film formation was studied. The results show that the surface of the passivation film is dense and smooth without sharp protrusions and has a stable skeleton structure inside. The structure of the passive film is C=O, Si–O, C–Si, C–H, Si–O–Zn, Si–O–Si, etc. A chromium-free passivation film prepared with a disilane can effectively prevent penetration between the corrosive medium and matrix. After a 96 h corrosion test, the corrosion area is less than 5%, which meets the requirements of some industrial production processes.

Efficient degradation of N-containing organic wastewater via chlorine oxide radical generated by a photoelectrochemical system

Abstract N-containing organic wastewater is harmful to human health and ecosystem while its degradation remains a huge challenge for decarburization and denitrification simultaneously. In this paper, we proposed a new photoelectrochemical method of chlorine oxide radicals production to oxidize mixture wastewater of phenol and N-ammonia into N2 and CO2. The chlorine oxide radicals were generated via a rapid reaction of HClO with hydroxyl radicals or chlorine free radicals on a synergistic dual anode, in which hydroxyl radicals and chlorine free radicals generated on WO3 side, and HClO generated on Sb-SnO2 side, respectively. Phenol degradation rate on WO3-Sb/SnO2 was 2.54 and 4.79 times than that on WO3 and Sb/SnO2. Meanwhile, N-ammonia removal rate on WO3-Sb/SnO2 was 5.69 and 20 times greater than that on WO3 and Sb/SnO2, respectively. The effects of potential, Cl− concentration and initial pH were examined and the optimal conditions were potential 2.0 V vs Ag/AgCl, 0.05 M NaCl, pH = 5. The free radical quenching experiments and electron-spin resonance (ESR) confirmed that chlorine oxide radicals played an important role in the degradation of N-ammonia and phenol. Reasonable pathways of phenol in the WO3-Sb/SnO2 system were also proposed. This work provides an exhaustive, novel, environmental-friendly photoelectrochemical system for N-containing organic wastewater treatment.

Prospects of GTL Technology Use in the Oil and Gas Industry

Progress of the global energy industry as well as resources of natural gas of Russia were indicated in this article. The main region of their development over the years is Western Siberia, where more than 80% of gas reserves are explored. It is from here that the main stream of Russian gas flows to countries in Eastern and Western Europe. To date, good prospects have been opened for the preparation of gas reserves and production in eastern Russia with the launch of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline, which determined the high importance of this region, which is of strategic interest to the gas industry in Russia. The main resources of natural gas will be located in remote from the existing gas transmission system, inaccessible areas and areas with a harsh climate, where there are no large markets for the consumption of hydrocarbons. In connection with this, the search is underway for the transportation of natural gas, alternative to pipeline transportation, to the places of consumption. Three possible options are considered. According to the “General scheme for the development of the gas industry for the period up to 2030” , one of the promising options for the development of gas processing industries is the development and implementation of efficient technologies for the production of synthetic liquid fuels (GTL technology) aimed at solving the problems of developing small, mature and hard-to-reach natural gas fields. The special emphasize was made on one of the promising variants of gas-processing productions development - development and implementation of GTL (Gas to liquid) technology as a new method of production of synthetic liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas. Relevance, possible advantages, and prospects of GTL technology were also mentioned. The example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) shown the possibility of using GTL technology, using as a raw material of natural gas of the Middle-Vilyusk gas condensate (gk) field. Also shown in this article are experimental details of the study of an individual hydrocarbon gas composition, which was determined using the gas chromatography method. The conclusion was made on the Republic's Oil and Gas Complex's overall potential cost-benefit in case of GTL technology implementation.

Improved Stability of Baeyer–Villiger Mono-Oxygenase from Pseudomonas fluorescens by Substitution of Cysteine Residues

Baeyer–Villiger mono-oxygenases (BVMOs) are enzymes that could insert an oxygen into carbon skeletons adjacent to carbonyl groups to form lactone or ester. Recently, a new method of sebacic acid production from oleic acid based on Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM 50106 (PfBVMO) catalysis was reported. However, the instable property of PfBVMO limited the further investigation and application of this enzyme. In this study, we aimed to improve the stability of PfBVMO by sitedirected mutagenesis. The sequence of PfBVMO indicates probable factors from the susceptible oxidizing cysteine residue leading to the instability of PfBVMO. Activity and stability of mutants and the wild-type were characterized to investigate the correlation of cysteine residues and activity. The mutant enzyme with entire cysteine residues replaced by serine residues, showed significantly higher stability than the wild type. The result would facilitate further work on the enzyme modification and crystal structure determination. Meanwhile, the results of this study provided potential for other enzyme stability evolution.

Infozentrale auf dem Vollgut – Circular Construction for a Post-Fossil Society

The “Infozentrale auf dem Vollgut” was designed and realised by a group of 36 students as part of the BUILDinG CYCLE design studio from the Natural Building Lab at the Technische Universität Berlin. In co-operation with the research project RE4 [1], a building embodying circular construction principles was realised from waste materials as a DesignBuild project, offering an answer to questions relating to resource-positive construction in an urban context and embodies a new method of architectural production for a post-consumer society. In the opening weeks of the project the student groups undertook a material research, where innovative low-tech constructive elements were created using a wide range of waste materials Through this research the groups established a network, through which they were able to source larger amounts of the waste materials used for the building – recovered timber and cardboard. The load bearing structure of the building is formed from timber recovered from local demolition sites and a dismantled architectural installation from the International Garden Festival 2017, thus providing a second usage cycle for this valuable resource. The 5.5m x 7.0m roof structure is formed by a pre-stressed grid of layered and interlocking re-used timber beams with reversible connections designed for disassembly. For the wall elements an experimental system was developed utilising stacked upcycled cardboard fruit boxes filled with shredded paper as insulation and covered with recovered large format posters and plot drawings – common waste materials within the architecture faculty. The project embodies circular construction principles and serves as a prototype for a LowTech post-fossil architecture based on the realities of resource scarcity and climate change.
