Optimization of Microwave-Assisted Extraction Method for Increased Extraction Yield and Total Phenol Content from Moringa Leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam.) var. PKM 1 by Sandeep Gunalan, Arumugam Thangaiah, Janavi Gnanaguru Janaki, Anitha Thiyagarajan, Senthil Kuppusamy, Lakshmanan Arunachalam

“…The optimized extraction method recorded 14.64 to 17.65% of extraction yield and 63.36 to 76.40 mg GA/gram of total phenol content. As a result of the optimization of microwave-assisted extraction, the recovery of biomolecules from the dried moringa leaves is achieved by increasing the extraction temperature and time with the microwave power of the instrument.…”

Effect of Admixture on Freeze-thaw Damage of Sleeve Grouting Materials by WU Zhaoyue, ZHU Haiqing

“…This paper compares the physical and mechanical properties of sleeve grouting materials with different admixtures under freeze-thaw action by means of control variable method,studies the effects of different admixtures and different contents on the apparent morphology,mass loss and strength loss of sleeve grouting materials under freeze-thaw action,and further analyzes the change of species,quantity and morphology of hydration products in freeze-thaw cycle by SEM (scanning electron microscope).The results show that:After 120 freeze-thaw cycles,the mass loss of mortar specimens with admixtures is less than 2%,which is lagged compared with the compressive strength loss;Based on the gray correlation analysis,the impact of expansion agent on the mechanical properties of mortar specimens under different freeze-thaw cycles is the lowest.However,with the addition of defoaming agent,the physical and mechanical properties of mortar specimens are more sensitive to freeze-thaw damage,and the sensitivity will increase with the increase of defoaming agent contents;From the microstructure analysis,the addition of expansion agent can improve the stability of internal C-S-H gel system after freeze-thaw action.…”
