Recycling of osmotic solutions in microwave–osmotic dehydration: product quality and potential for creation of a novel product

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2016
AbstractBACKGROUNDDespite osmotic dehydration being a cost effective process for moisture removal, the cost implications of making, regenerating, and properly disposing of the spent osmotic solutions contributes greatly to the economic feasibility of the drying operation.

A new equation for calculating osmotic potential

Plant, Cell & Environment, 1994
ABSTRACTA new equation for calculating osmotic potential was developed that is based on a molecular model of the structure of water. Its formulation involves no sub‐equations that cannot be fully derived from established physical principles. The equation was first tested by calculating the osmotic potentials of a series of aqueous NaCl solutions with ...

The Components of Leaf Water Potential I. Osmotic and Matric Potentials

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1967
Osmotic potential ('IT) resulting from solutes should be distinguished from matric potential (T) resulting from adsorption by the tissue matrix. The usual methods of measuring so·called "osmotic potential" actually give not only 'IT but also part or all of T.

The behavior of osmotic potential in leaves of maize

Environmental and Experimental Botany, 1981
Abstract Large diurnal and seasonal changes in osmotic potential were measured in the upper exposed leaves of Zea mays L. Shaded lower leaves showed little change. The diurnal change was largely due to shifts in solute level, and these could be very rapid following a step change in light. Solute regulation appeared to be a fixed response to light and

The Regulation of Osmotic Potential in Trees

2014
The availability of water and the ability of plants to acquire it influence productivity among many ecosystems. For all plants, both terrestrial and marine, the modification of internal osmotic potential (ψπ) is a commonly observed response to changes in water availability.

Osmotic Pressure and Electrochemical Potential-A Parallel

Journal of Chemical Education, 1995
A close correspondence is shown to exist between some aspects of osmosis and electrochemistry. The correspondence includes the states of osmotic resp. electrochemical equilibrium with the appearance of an osmotic pressure resp. an electrochemical potential difference, and the reversible or irreversible processes which extract work from an osmotic ...

Value of Selection for Osmotic Potential in Tropical Maize

Agronomy Journal, 1991
AbstractOsmotic adjustment, the lowering of osmotic potential (ΨS) under drought, is considered a desirable component of drought tolerance since it has been shown to maintain turgor, growth, and photosynthesis at lower water potentials. This study attemped to determine the relative merits of selecting for osmotic adjustment and low ΨS under drought in ...

[Studies on the osmotic constants : III. Suction potential, osmotic potential and electrical conductivity of leaves].

Planta, 2014
A comparison of suction potential, osmotic-potential and electrical conductivity of Eucalyptus blakelyi MAIDEN leaves under controlled conditions shows that the three values are in good correspondence.

Swelling and osmotic flow in a potential host rock

Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C, 2007
Abstract Measurements of osmotic and hydraulic permeability are reported for a series of tests conducted on Opalinus Clay samples from the Mt. Terri underground research laboratory in the Jura Mountains of NE Switzerland. Osmotic flow was observed across discs of this clayshale separating 0.245 M NaCl solution from distilled water.

Osmotic power potential in remote regions of Quebec

Renewable Energy, 2015
Abstract Diesel-generated electricity is currently used to supply electricity to community micro-grids in remote regions of Quebec. Given its high cost and environmental impact there is interest in developing renewable energy alternatives for such applications. The potential of pressure retarded osmotic (PRO) power to supply remote community loads is
