A Simple Approach for Regenerating Electrolyzed Hydrogen Production Using Non-De-Ionized Water Sources.

This research focuses on using natural renewable water resources, filters, and performance recovery systems to reduce the cost of generating pure hydrogen for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs). This study uses de-ionized (DI) water, tap water, and river water from upstream as the water source. Water from these sources passes through 1 μm PP filters, activated carbon, and reverse osmosis for filtering.

Inactivating Salmonella Enteritidis on shell eggs by using ozone microbubble water.

The major pathogen associated with eggs is Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) and chlorine washing is the most widely used for sanitization.

On the Performance of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells with a Catalyst Layer Fabricated Using an Inorganic Dispersant with Various Ultrasonic Mixing.

This study utilizes both an inorganic dispersant, montmorillonite, and an organic dispersant (AS-1164) with 1.6 and 3.2 mg/cm platinum coatings that underwent various frequencies of ultrasonic mixing (40, 80, and 120 kHz) to fabricate proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs).

The Antibacterial Efficacy and Mechanism of Plasma-Activated Water Against Enteritidis (ATCC 13076) on Shell Eggs.

Eggs are one of the most commonly consumed food items. Currently, chlorine washing is the most common method used to sanitize shell eggs. However, chlorine could react with organic matters to form a potential carcinogen, trihalomethanes, which can have a negative impact on human health.

The Optimization of Plasma-Activated Water Treatments to Inactivate Enteritidis (ATCC 13076) on Shell Eggs.

Egg is a regularly consumed food item. Currently, chlorinated water washing is the most common practice used to disinfect eggs, but this process has a negative environmental impact. A new physical technique, plasma-activated water (PAW), has been demonstrated to possess effective antibacterial activities without long-term chemical residue.

Effect of novel atmospheric-pressure jet pretreatment on the drying kinetics and quality of white grapes.

Background: Raisin is a popular snack and a common constituent of many foods owing to its good flavor and nutritional value. Conventional drying of grapes can be a slow and energy-consuming process as their waxy surface hinders efficient moisture migration. A drying pretreatment that disrupts the waxy cuticle is usually applied to increase the drying rate.

Wound Healing in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats Using Atmospheric-Pressure Argon Plasma Jet.

In this study, we used an argon-based round atmospheric-pressure plasma jet (APPJ) for enhancing wound healing in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. The APPJ was characterized by optical emission spectroscopy. We induced Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes in rats with different amounts of STZ combined with normal and high-fat diets, respectively.

Fast incorporation of primary amine group into polylactide surface for improving C₂C₁₂ cell proliferation using nitrogen-based atmospheric-pressure plasma jets.

In this article, we report the development of the fast incorporation of primary amine functional groups into a polylactide (PLA) surface using the post-discharge jet region of an atmospheric-pressure nitrogen-based dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). Plasma treatments were carried out in two sequential steps: (1) nitrogen with 0.1% oxygen addition, and (2) nitrogen with 5% ammonia addition.
