A new liquid-liquid extraction method, called the "emulsion flow" method, is expected to realize an ideal liquid-liquid extraction by controlling the emulsion generation and separation using liquid spraying, only by solution sending. In order to understand the mechanism of emulsion control in the emulsion flow method, the size distribution of droplets in two liquid-phase mixtures was compared by using originally designed apparatuses 1) for the case of liquid spraying and 2) for the case of mechanical stirring. We demonstrated that the size distribution of droplets generated near a mixing device (a nozzle for liquid spraying or an impeller head for mechanical stirring) determines the phase-separation property.

Pharmaceutical nanosuspensions, also called nanocrystals, are heterogeneous mainly aqueous dispersions of insoluble drug particles stabilised by surfactants and/or polymers. Nanosuspensions as liquid formulations suffer from instability. Solidification of nanosuspensions to solid dosage forms is a way to combine the advantages of nanocrystals with the advantages of the solid state.

Global citrus production has been severely affected by citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) disease, caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Clas), and the development of effective control methods are crucial. This study employed antimicrobial lipopeptide and phytohormone complex powder (L1) prepared from the fermentation broth of the endophytic plant growth promoting bacterium (PGPB) of strain MG-2 to treat Liberibacter asiaticus (Las)-infected ' 'Chun Jian' plants. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and PCR were employed for disease detection.

Although the use of foliar spraying with organic matter has been extensively studied and applied to reduce heavy metals in plants, research on its application for reducing mercury (Hg) accumulation in plants, particularly the more toxic methylmercury (MeHg), remains scarce. Furthermore, previous researches on the barrier mechanisms of foliar spraying primarily concentrated on the effects of spraying agents on plant physiological and biochemical indicators, with limited focus on their impacts on soil environment. Herein, the dynamic effects and mechanisms of organic foliar spraying materials, including earthworm liquid fertilizer (ELF), Tween 80 (T80), and citric acid (CA), on soil Hg methylation and accumulation in lettuce were investigated using pot experiment.

Besides classic illegal drugs, numerous designer drugs, also called new psychoactive substances (NPSs), are available on the global drug market. One of the biggest and fastest-growing substance classes comprises the synthetic cannabinoids. According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), 254 out of 950 monitored substances belong to this group of NPS, with 9 new cannabinoids registered for the first time in 2023.
