Overview of the JET results
2015
Since the installation of an ITER-like wall, the JET programme has focused on the consolidation of ITER design choices and the preparation for ITER operation, with a specific emphasis given to the bulk tungsten melt experiment, which has been crucial for the final decision on the material choice for the day-one tungsten divertor in ITER. Integrated scenarios have been progressed with the re-establishment of long-pulse, high-confinement H-modes by optimizing the magnetic configuration and the use of ICRH to avoid tungsten impurity accumulation. Stationary discharges with detached divertor conditions and small edge localized modes have been demonstrated by nitrogen seeding. The differences in…
Understanding retention and metabolization of aroma compounds using an in vitro model of oral mucosa.
2020
International audience; The mechanism leading to aroma persistence during eating is not fully described. This study aims at better understanding the role of the oral mucosa in this phenomenon. Release of 14 volatile compounds from different chemical classes was studied after exposure to in vitro models of oral mucosa, at equilibrium by Gas-Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detection (GC-FID) and in dynamic conditions by Proton Transfer Reaction- Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS). Measurements at equilibrium showed that mucosal hydration reduced the release of only two compounds, pentan-2-one and linalool (p < 0.05), and suggested that cells could metabolize aroma compounds from different chemical fa…
Gas—liquid chromatographic analyses
1984
Abstract The gas choromatographic retention behaviour of veratrole and all nine chlorinated veratroles was studied on SE-30 and OV-351 capillary columns. Temperature programming from 100°C at 6°C min−1 and isothermal operation at 140, 160, 180 and 200°C were used. The complete separation of a mixture was obtained on SE-30, the isomers being eluted in order of their degree of chlorination. On OV-351, however, the 3,4,5-trichloro and tetrachloro isomers overlap with temperature programming, being separated at 140, 160 and 200°C. Retention indices and increments of retention indices for each position of substitution are examined and the effect of increasing temperature on retention is discusse…
On the measurement of consistent long-term retention factor values in micellar liquid chromatography
2007
Abstract In the field of the quantitative structure–retention and retention–activity relationships (QRAR and QSRR) is crucial to obtain consistent retention factors (k). For this purpose, two unbiased approaches to estimate k are used: (i) the IUPAC approach (based on the extra-column time correction) and (ii) the ‘2-references’ approach (based on the k estimation respect to two prefixed reference k values). Three reference chemicals were selected attending to their retention time, chemical stability and non-ionic character. Consistent retention factor values for these references were estimated for C18 chromatographic columns and Brij35 solutions as mobile phases after statistical analysis.…
Gas-liquid chromatographic analyses
1984
A mixture of all nine chlorinated 4-hydroxybenzaldehydes and the parent homologue was separated on a non-polar SE-30 capillary column using various isothermal and temperature-programmed operating conditions. The relative retention data for the compounds are given and the retention indices together with the retention index increments for each position of chlorine substitution are examined. The retention order 3-Cl<parent<2,5-di-Cl<2,3-di-Cl<3,5-di-Cl<2-Cl<2,3,5-tri-Cl<2,3,6-tri-Cl<2,6-di-Cl<tetra-Cl isomer obtained indicates that the effect of the position of substitution on the retention behaviour is greater than that of the number of chlorine atoms. The retention is maximal with 2-Cl and 2…
Retention increments of isomeric chlorobenzenes
1983
The chlorobenzene isomers are used extensively as intermediates in a wide range of chemical products. More recently their determination in environmental situations has become of considerable importance and chromatographic procedures have been widely reported for their determination in both trace and major amounts. There are over 220 publications in which gas chromatography (GC) has been applied to the analysis of chlorobenzene. However, over 60 o/o of these works refer to the separation of only one isomer. Relatively few publications’-8 consider all the isomers, although the use of both capillary3’ and packedcolumns with polar and non-polar stationary phases has been reported. Temperature p…
Biopartitioning micellar chromatography to pedict mutagenicity of aromatic amines
2007
[EN] Mutagenicity is a toxicity endpoint associated with the chronic exposure to chemicals. Aromatic amines have considerable industrial and environmental importance due to their widespread use in industry and their mutagenic capacity. Biopartitioning micellar chromatography (BMC), a mode of micellar liquid chromatography that uses micellar mobile phases of Brij35 in adequate experimental conditions, has demonstrated to be useful in mimicking the drug partitioning process into biological systems. In this paper, the usefulness of BMC for predicting mutagenicity of aromatic amines is demonstrated. A multiple linear regression (MLR) model based on BMC retention data is proposed and compared wi…
Gas—liquid chromatographic analyses
1985
Abstract The gas chromatographic retention behaviour of methylethyl, 1-methylpropyl, 2-methylpropyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, 1-methylbutyl and 3-methylbutyl esters of benzoic and o-, m- and p-chlorobenzoic acids on low-polarity (SE-30) and polar (OV-351) capillary columns under several temperature-programmed and isothermal conditions is reported. The retention data and the Kovats retention indices for all 24 components are given and the separation of a complex mixture is discussed. The retention index increments have been used to examine the effects of chain branching and chlorine substitution. The results are compared with those for n-alkyl benzoates and monochlorobenzoates.
Anaerobic thermophilic (55°C) treatment of TMP whitewater in reactors based on biomass attachment and entrapment
1999
Abstract Thermomechanical pulping (TMP) whitewater was treated in thermophilic (55°C) anaerobic laboratory-scale reactors using three different reactor configurations. In all reactors up to 70 % COD removals were achieved. The anaerobic hybrid reactor, composed of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and a filter, gave degradation rates up to 10 kg COD/m 3 d at loading rates of 15 kg COD/m 3 d and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 3.1 hours. The anaerobic multi-stage reactor, consisting of three compartments, each packed with granular sludge and carrier elements, gave degradation rates up to 9 kg COD/m 3 d at loading rates of 15–16 kg COD/m 3 d, and HRT down to 2.6 hours. Clogging and …
Start-up with or without inoculum? Analysis of an SMBR pilot plant.
2010
This study analysed a submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) start-up with the purpose of determining the best conditions to carry it out. In order to do this, a hollow fibre membrane module was installed in a submerged configuration in a pilot aerobic reactor. The experiment was then divided in two phases, lasting 65 days each. During phase 1, the pilot plant was started-up without inoculum of activated sludge and no sludge, withdrawal was performed. Conversely, in phase 2, the MBR pilot plant was started-up with sludge inoculum and the sludge concentration was kept constant. In both phases, the volumetric loading rate applied to the pilot plant was kept constant. The authors analysed the di…
