TL;DR: In this article, a motor-pumping method and an apparatus for recovery of energy from spent brine discharged from a reverse osmosis desalination system is described, which is used to pump a portion of the fresh brine input to the system.
Abstract: Motor-pumping method and apparatus for recovery of energy from spent brine discharged from a reverse osmosis desalination system are disclosed. Energy of spent brine discharged from the reverse osmosis system is used to pump a portion of the fresh brine input to the system. The novel apparatus includes a pair of closed cylinders having pistons reciprocable therein which are interconnected for simultaneous piston movement. First valve means movable between first and second conditions are provided for atternatively connecting a source of fresh brine to the reduced piston area side of one of said cylinders while connecting the reduced area piston side of the other cylinder to the inlet of the reverse osmosis canister included in the reverse osmosis system. Second valve means movable between first and second conditions are provided for atternatively connecting the spent brine outlet from the reverse osmosis system canister to the large piston area side of the other cylinder while venting spent brine from the large piston area side of the one cylinder. Because of the differential opposite surface areas of the motor-pump pistons, fresh brine is pumped from the cylinders at a pressure higher than the pressure of spent brine operating liquid supplied to the motor-pump means from the reverse osmosis system. The first and second valve means operate under control of the position of the pistons in the cylinders for reciprocal piston operation.

TL;DR: A thermal-stable and salt-tolerant biobased zwitterionic surfactant N, N-Dimethyl-N-[2-hydroxy-3-sulfo-propyl]-N′-phenyloctadecanoyl-1, 3-diaminopropane (SPODP) was successfully obtained from modification of oleic acids which can be regenerated from waste cooking oils, and its structure was characterized using GC-MS, ESI-MS and 1H NMR approaches as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The effect of sodium chloride concentrations (6, 16 and 26% NaCl) on the survival of Listeria monocytogenes at low temperatures (10°C and under refrigeration, average 2°C) and frozen (- 18°C), was investigated in this article.
Abstract: The effect of sodium chloride concentrations (6, 16 and 26% (w/v) NaCl) on the survival of Listeria monocytogenes at low temperatures (10°C and under refrigeration, average 2°C) and frozen (- 18°C) was investigated All salt concentrations tested were ineffective in reducing numbers over 6 h incubation at low temperatures Over a longer time (33 d) at low temperatures, the organism grew in 6% NaCl, numbers remained the same in 16% NaCl and numbers declined in 26% NaCl Although L monocytogenes was destroyed in 26% NaCl, numbers declined too slowly for immersion in cold brine at this concentration to be a useful bacteriocidal treatment Storage at - 18°C for 33 d caused no significant reduction in numbers at any of the NaCl concentrations tested
