In-situ real-time monitoring of flavonoids extraction from propolis extracts based on near infrared spectroscopy by WANG Wuli, MA Haile, LI Han, ZHANG Yong, XIA Hong

“…ObjectiveFor the residue of propolis after supercritical CO2 extraction, the content of flavonoids in the secondary extraction process was detected in real time.MethodsNear-infrared spectroscopy was used to establish a quantitative analysis model by collecting the spectral information and the corresponding chemical values of flavonoids during the extraction process, which was used to detect the changesof flavonoids content in real time and to determine the end point of extraction.ResultsThe Rc (corrected correlation coefficient) and RMSEC (corrected root mean square error) of the model constructed by the PLS (partial least squares) algorithm after normalization preprocessing were 0.999 1 and 0.044 5, respectively. …”

An Analytical Method for Estimating Hydraulic Parameters of a Nonlinear Consolidated Aquitard Considering Secondary Consolidation by Hao Li, Zhaofeng Li, Zhi Dou, Walter A. Illman

“…The analysis results utilizing the analytical solution show that, with the development of consolidation, the contribution of secondary consolidation to total consolidation continuously increases and dominates during the latter stage of consolidation, where the increase in thickness of aquitards and the decrease in consolidation coefficient postponed this stage. Based on this property, a quantitative method to calculate the completion time of primary consolidation and a new multi‐parameter inversion method for calculating hydraulic parameters and coefficient of secondary consolidation were proposed. …”
