Thermodynamic Simulation and Laboratory-Scale Experiments of Tin Smelting at AlO Saturation.

A significant issue encountered in smelting operations is the corrosion of refractory materials that come into direct contact with the molten slag. Magnesia-based refractories are commonly used in nonferrous smelting operations. On the other hand, alumina-based refractories emerge as a possible alternative, particularly when dealing with the unpredictable slag compositions, owing to alumina's amphoteric characteristic.

Exploring antioxidant potential of agricultural by-products: a systematic review.

Background: Agricultural waste sourced from various activities that occur along the agricultural supply chain including post-harvest, processing, and consumption processes, can pose a threat to ecosystem balance and community welfare. Data shows that agricultural by-products have the potential to be utilized because they contain antioxidant compounds. This systematic review study aims to identify and assess the antioxidant activity of agricultural by-products through various extraction methods.

Effect of Minor Oxide and Residual Carbon on Coal Ash Crystallization Behavior and Slag Properties during Coal Gasification: Critical Literature Review and Thermodynamic Simulation.

Coal-ash-associated problems seriously limit the industrial application of entrained flow coal gasification. There have been many studies of this issue. However, many problems still need to be fully understood, especially regarding the effect of minor oxides and residual carbon on the crystallization of slag in coal ash systems.

Relationship between Hedonic Hunger and Health Interest on Habit and Sodium Intake Patterns in Food Consumption.

Many people are motivated to eat healthily but find it difficult to override established and less healthy habits. Habits, by their nature, are unconscious and cued by the environment, thus making them powerful determinants of behavior. This study examined how hedonic hunger and health interest are related to habit and whether sodium consumption is mediated by hedonic hunger, health interest, and habit.
