Electrophysical Microwave Installation for Heat Treatment of Animal Slaughter Waste by Evgeny V. Voronov

“…When the electric field was 5 kV/cm and the corona discharge was 9.79 kV/cm, the corona of bactericidal lamps provided the required ozone concentration and the bacterial contamination fell down to an acceptable level. The new installation with an electrical resonator reduced operating costs for heat treatment of animal slaughter waste and maintained the high-quality of the resulting feed products.…”

Comparison of Attenuated Total Reflectance Mid-Infrared, Near Infrared, and 1H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopies for the Determination of Coffee’s Geographical Origin by Jessica Medina, Diana Caro Rodríguez, Victoria A. Arana, Andrés Bernal, Pierre Esseiva, Julien Wist

“…Regarding origin determination, ATR-mIR and 1H-NMR showed comparable capacity to discriminate Colombian coffee samples, while NIR fell short by comparison. In conclusion, ATR-mIR, a less common technique in the field of coffee adulteration and fraud detection, emerges as a strong candidate, faster and with lower cost compared to 1H-NMR and more discriminating compared to NIR.…”
