The occurrence of efflorescences on the surface of dry fermented sausages represents a current issue for the meat processing industry. Preventing the efflorescence formation by the addition of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) was shown to be promising in a previous study. The optimum SHMP addition was studied by adding SHMP (0.0, 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0g/kg) directly to the sausage batter. Visual and chemical analyses were conducted during 8weeks of storage under modified atmosphere. Visual analyses revealed significant lower amounts of efflorescences on the sausage surface after 8weeks when 1.0 (27.1%), 3.0 (9.0%), and 5.0g/kg SHMP (3.4%) were added, compared to the control with 38.0% efflorescences. SHMP significantly affected the occurrence (8weeks) of magnesium on the surface: +85.5%, +23.7%, +3.5%, and -28.2% for 0.0, 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0g/kg, respectively. The addition of 4.785g/kg was calculated to fully inhibit the formation of efflorescences by complexing magnesium ions.

Conversion of caustic red mud (RM, Alumina industry waste) into building materials becoming one of the viable solution for its large scale utilization. The building materials developed using RM often results in efflorescence due to its high alkalinity, which is detrimental for the structural integrity of the buildings. The X-ray shielding tiles developed through ceramic route using the mixtures of RM, BaSO and kaolin clay also suffers from severe NaSO efflorescence when sintered above 1000 °C.

In this project, cement-based composites reinforced with slag powder (abbreviated as SP), steel slag powder (abbreviated as SSP), and desulfurization gypsum (abbreviated as FGD) were used as the research objects, and the preparation, mechanical properties, and strengthening mechanism of the composites were systematically studied. A laser particle analyzer (Malvern Instruments Analysis) was used to determine that the particle sizes of the raw SSP, SP, and FGD materials were concentrated between 5 and 40 μm, indicating that they were fine-grained minerals. SSP and SP are highly active alkaline substances.

Background: Gleditsia sinensis Lam. (Fabaceae) is a medicinal legume characterized by its spines and pods, which are rich in saponins, polysaccharides, and various specialized metabolites with potential medicinal and industrial applications. The low fruit set rate in artificially cultivated economic forests significantly impedes its development and utilization.

Salinization is one of the main pedogenetic processes occurring on the semiarid zone of the Weddel sea, like in Seymour Island, where salt-affected soils are widespread. This study aimed to investigate whether topography controls the distribution of salt-affected soils on Seymour Island, particularly with reference to the Lopez de Bertodano Formation. Chemical and physical results from 45 soil profiles were used, where morphometric variables were extracted.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explores the effects of rice husk ash (RHA) and incinerated sugarcane press mud (ISPM) in geopolymer systems and how Lysinibacillus sp. WH bacteria influence their mechanical properties and microstructures.
  • Results indicate that increasing ISPM content up to 5% improves strength and reduces water absorption, but higher levels can diminish quality; bacteria notably speed up setting times and enhance mechanical properties.
  • Microstructural analyses reveal that bacteria promote strength by increasing cristobalite and reducing quartz, while also decreasing efflorescence, supporting the idea of creating more sustainable geopolymer systems by using waste materials and enhancing durability.
