IR radiation releases energy in electromagnetic wave form in the spectrum from 0.75 μm to 1,000 μm. The wavelength of IR usually is further classified into 3 ranges, namely, near-IR (0.75 μm to 1.4 μm), medium-IR (1.4 μm to 3 μm), and far-IR (3 μm to 1,000 μm). Principal food elements, including water, organic compounds, …

Drying is a vital unit operation needed in food process industries, significantly in the dry fruits trade. Drying of almonds exhibit several characteristic options like non-spherical form, swelling/ shrinkage as a function of moisture content, uneven drying due to their peculiar form and proximity to alternative almond kernels and so on. The drying of almonds …
Most materials are mixtures, and their behavior is usually very different from that of their parts in isolation. Amorphous metal mixtures, so-called metallic glasses, promise materials with extreme toughness and strength. However, spontaneous separation of the constituents destroys the benefits of the mixture, and results in crystallization in amorphous materials. This separation is vital not …

Biomass gasification is a mature technology pathway that uses a controlled process involving heat, steam, and oxygen to convert biomass to hydrogen and other products, without combustion. Because growing biomass removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the net carbon emissions of this method can be low, especially if coupled with carbon capture, utilization, and storage …

The preparation ways of biochar are primarily divided into pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC), and microwave carbonisation. Different preparation ways affect the physical and chemical properties of biochar, such as yield, ash, specific surface area, pore structure, type and variety of useful groups, and cation exchange capacity. Compared with the pyrolysis, HTC doesn’t need drying step …

Atmospheric thermal plasma (ATP) has emerged as a promising technology with diverse applications across various industries, including the food sector. This comprehensive review delves into the advancements, challenges, and potential of ATP in food processing and preservation. By examining recent studies and technological developments, this review elucidates the mechanisms underlying ATP treatment, its effects on …
The heart of each foundry is the melting furnace in which the metal is liquefied. These furnaces use different technologies to melt the material. The aim of each furnace, however, is to consume as little heat and fuel as possible. Metal casting makers use a large sort of furnace technologies. Foundries require furnaces which can …
