  • Olive Oil Jars Left Behind By
    live oil jars left behind by the ancient Greeks are testament to our centuries- old use of cooking oil. Along with salt and pepper, oil Oremains one of the most important and versatile tools in your kitchen. It keeps food from sticking to pans, adds flavor and moisture, and conducts the heat that turns a humble stick of potato into a glorious french fry. Like butter and other fats, cooking oil also acts as a powerful solvent, unleashing fat-soluble nutrients and flavor compounds in everything from tomatoes and onions to spices and herbs. It’s why so many strike recipes begin with heating garlic in oil rather than, say, simmering it in water. The ancient Greeks didn’t tap many cooking oils. (Let’s see: olive oil, olive oil, or—ooh, this is exciting!—how about olive oil?) But you certainly can. From canola to safflower to grapeseed to walnut, each oil has its own unique flavor (or lack thereof), aroma, and optimal cooking temperature. Choosing the right kind for the task at hand can save you money, boost your health, and improve your cooking. OK, so you probably don’t stop to consider your cooking oil very often. But there’s a surprising amount to learn about What’s this? this liquid gold.

Menezes 1,* 1 Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Nevada-Reno, Reno, NV 89557, USA; mdhafi[email protected] (M.H.R.); [email protected] (H.W.); [email protected] (H.W.); [email protected] (J.R.); [email protected] (E.A.); [email protected] (K.T.) 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sandip Institute of Technology & Research Centre, Nashik 422213, India; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Water-based lubricants (WBLs) have been at the forefront of recent research, due to the abundant availability of water at a low cost. However, in metallic tribo-systems, WBLs often exhibit poor performance compared to petroleum-based lubricants. Research and development indicate that nano-additives improve the lubrication performance of water. Some of these additives could be categorized as solid nanoparticles, ionic liquids, and bio-based oils. These additives improve the tribological properties and help to reduce friction, wear, and corrosion. This review explored different water-based lubricant additives and summarized their properties and performances. Viscosity, density, wettability, and solubility are discussed to determine the viability of using water-based nano-lubricants compared to petroleum-based lubricants for reducing friction and wear in machining. Water-based liquid lubricants also have environmental benefits over petroleum-based lubricants. Further research is needed to understand and optimize water-based lubrication for tribological systems completely.

  • Advancing Electrodeionization with Conductive Ionomer Binders That
    www.nature.com/npjcleanwater ARTICLE OPEN Advancing electrodeionization with conductive ionomer binders that immobilize ion-exchange resin particles into porous wafer substrates ✉ ✉ Varada Menon Palakkal 1,3, Lauren Valentino 2,3, Qi Lei 1, Subarna Kole1, Yupo J. Lin 2 and Christopher G. Arges 1 Electrodeionization (EDI) is an electrically driven separations technology that employs ion-exchange membranes and resin particles. Deionization occurs under the influence of an applied electric field, facilitating continuous regeneration of the resins and supplementing ionic conductivity. While EDI is commercially used for ultrapure water production, material innovation is required for improving desalination performance and energy efficiency for treating alternative water supplies. This work reports a new class of ion-exchange resin-wafers (RWs) fabricated with ion-conductive binders that exhibit exceptional ionic conductivities—a3–5-fold improvement over conventional RWs that contain a non-ionic polyethylene binder. Incorporation into an EDI stack (RW-EDI) resulted in an increased desalination rate and reduced energy expenditure compared to the conventional RWs. The water-splitting phenomenon was also investigated in the RW in an external experimental setup in this work. Overall, this work demonstrates that ohmic resistances can be substantially curtailed with ionomer binder RWs at dilute salt concentrations. npj Clean Water (2020) 3:5 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41545-020-0052-z 1234567890():,; INTRODUCTION EDI stack is more thermodynamically efficient for removing ions in 10 Electrochemical separations, which primarily consist of electrodia- the more challenging dilute concentration regime. lysis (ED), electrodeionization (EDI), and membrane capacitive A drawback of conventional EDI is the utilization of loose resin deionization (MCDI/CDI),1 are a subset of technologies primarily beads that foster inconsistent process performance, stack leakage, used for deionization and other water treatment processes.

  • Wastewater Treatment by Electrodialysis System and Fouling Problems
    The Online Journal of Science and Technology - January 2016 Volume 6, Issue 1 WASTEWATER TREATMENT BY ELECTRODIALYSIS SYSTEM AND FOULING PROBLEMS Elif OZTEKIN, Sureyya ALTIN Bulent Ecevit University, Department of Environmental Engineering, Zonguldak-Turkey [email protected], VDOWÕQ#NDUDHOPDVHGXWU Abstract: Electrodialysis ED is a separation process commercially used on a large scale for production of drinking water from water bodies and treatment of industrial effluents (Ruiz and et al., 2007). ED system contains ion exchange membranes and ions are transported through ion selective membranes from one solution to another under the influence of electrical potential difference used as a driving force. ED has been widely used in the desalination process and recovery of useful matters from effluents. The performance of ED, depends on the operating conditions and device structures such as ion content of raw water, current density, flow rate, membrane properties, feed concentration, geometry of cell compartments (Chang and et al., 2009, Mohammadi and et al., 2004). The efficiency of ED systems consist in a large part on the properties of the ion exchange membranes. Fouling of ion exchange membranes is one of the common problems in ED processes (Lee and et al., 2009, Ruiz and et al., 2007). Fouling is basically caused by the precipitation of foulants such as organics, colloids and biomass on the membrane surface or inside the membrane and fouling problem reduces the transport of ions. The fouling problems are occasion to increase membrane resistance, loss in selectivity of the membranes and affect negatively to membrane performance (Lee and et al., 2002, Lindstrand and et al., 2000a, Lindstrand and et al., 2000b).

    DIETARY GUIDELINES Cut Down on FOR AMERICANS 2015-2020 EIGHTH EDITION Saturated Fats Limiting saturated fats is important for your health — and it doesn’t mean you have to cut down on flavor. Learn how to swap out saturated fats for healthier options. The 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends limiting calories from saturated fats to less than 10% of the total calories you eat and drink each day. That’s about 200 calories for a 2,000 calorie diet. What are saturated fats? What are unsaturated fats? Saturated fats are one type of fat in the foods we eat and the Unsaturated fats are beverages we drink. Most come from animal products, like dairy, found in some foods and meat, and poultry. To limit the amount of saturated fats you eat, most oils.
