Water Adsorption Characteristics of Acyclic Oligosaccharides of α-Gluose Studied by Near Infrared Spectroscopy
2013
The adsorption properties of water molecules on maltooligosaccharides are attributed to the OH groups of the glucose rings in maltooligosaccharides. The water molecules are adsorbed onto OH groups by hydrogen bond formation. Near infrared spectroscopic and gravimetric techniques were used in analysing the adsorption characteristics of maltooligosaccharides. Near infrared spectra of the dry maltooligosaccharides were acquired during the adsorption of wa- ter molecules at a relative humidity of 50%. The amounts of water adsorbed by the samples were also recorded by an ana- lytical balance. Second derivative techniques were used in decomposing the OH combination frequency of the adsorbed water…
Examination of coagulant additives on qualitative composition of selected thermal waters
2017
On the territory of Poland occur rich deposits of thermal waters. Although the utilisation of these waters is continuously extending, Poland is not exploiting their full geothermal potential due to high investment costs. Thermal waters industry in Poland to date indicates operations within mainly balneology as well as recreation objectives. Higher temperature values of these waters foster a washout in the surrounding rocks resulting in a high concentration of diluted substances which must be often removed. The following study investigates thermal waters from three intakes for which coagulation processes were conducted. Research clearly shows that coagulant additives not impact on the qualit…
