Engineering a morphogenetically active hydrogel for bioprinting of bioartificial tissue derived from human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells.
2014
Abstract Sodium alginate hydrogel, stabilized with gelatin, is a suitable, biologically inert matrix that can be used for encapsulating and 3D bioprinting of bone-related SaOS-2 cells. However, the cells, embedded in this matrix, remain in a non-proliferating state. Here we show that addition of an overlay onto the bioprinted alginate/gelatine/SaOS-2 cell scaffold, consisting of agarose and the calcium salt of polyphosphate [polyP·Ca 2+ -complex], resulted in a marked increase in cell proliferation . In the presence of 100 μ m polyP·Ca2+ -complex, the cells proliferate with a generation time of approximately 47–55 h. In addition, the hardness of the alginate/gelatin hydrogel substantially i…
Saostumat kartonkikoneen märkäpäässä sekä kemikaalikierrossa
2016
Työssä perehdyttiin aallotuskartonkia valmistavan Heinolan Flutingtehtaan saostumisongelmien syihin sekä menetelmiin saostumisen estämiseksi. Haihduttamolla saostumat tukkivat haihduttimien tuubilämmönvaihtimet ja rajoittavat haihduttamon toimintaa. Niukkaliukoisten, pääasiassa epäorgaanisten kalsiumsuolojen muodostamien saostumien pesun vuoksi haihduttamo joudutaan seisauttamaan usein, mikä rajoittaa koko tehtaan tuotantoa. Kartonkikoneen märkäpäässä saostumat ovat sen sijaan orgaanisia, pääasiassa puun pihkasta johtuvia, yhdisteitä. Kartonkikoneella saostumista seuraa likakatkoja ja hukkaaikaa. Kirjallisuuden ja aiempien tutkimusten perusteella haihduttamon saostumien syyksi selvisi puust…
Precipitation of potassium as hazenite from washing water of spent alkaline batteries
2022
Hazenite (KNaMg2(PO4)2 × 14 H2O), a new type of struvite mineral, was precipitated from the potassium-rich washing water of spent alkaline battery black mass. Hazenite can be used as a fertilizer, which would be an additional benefit derived from the sustainable recovery of battery materials. Precipitation experiments were performed using different pH values (9.5–12), Mg:K:PO4 ratios ((1.0–1.5):1:(1.0–1.5)) and temperatures (10–40 °C). Based on the results, hazenite precipitated in a wide pH range under alkaline conditions. The precipitation kinetics were fast, and the purity of the hazenite was high. Overall, hazenite can be precipitated at room temperature without the addition of excess c…
Lignin recovery from spent alkaline pulping liquors using acidification, membrane separation, and related processing steps: A Review
2019
The separation of lignin from the black liquor generated during alkaline pulping is reviewed in this article with an emphasis on chemistry. Based on published accounts, the precipitation of lignin from spent pulping liquor by addition of acids can be understood based on dissociation equilibria of weak acid groups, which affects the solubility behavior of lignin-related chemical species. Solubility issues also govern lignin separation technologies based on ultrafiltration membranes; reduction in membrane permeability is often affected by conditions leading to decreased solubility of lignin decomposition products and the presence of colloidal matter. Advances in understanding of such phenomen…
Nonlinear dynamics and chaos in classical Coulomb-interacting many-body billiards
2013
Chaos and nonlinear dynamics of single-particle Hamiltonian systems have been extensively studied in the past; however, less is known about interacting many-body systems in this respect even though all physical systems include particle-particle interactions in one way or another. To study Hamiltonian chaos, two-dimensional billiards are usually employed, and due to the realization of billiards in semiconductor quantum dots, the electrostatic Coulomb interaction is the natural choice for the interparticle interaction. Yet, surprisingly little is known about chaos and nonlinear dynamics of Coulomb-interacting many-body billiards. To address the challenging problems of interacting many-body bi…
Practices in research, surveillance and control of neglected tropical diseases by One Health approaches: A survey targeting scientists from French-sp…
2021
One health (OH) approaches have increasingly been used in the last decade in the fight against zoonotic neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). However, descriptions of such collaborations between the human, animal and environmental health sectors are still limited for French-speaking tropical countries. The objective of the current survey was to explore the diversity of OH experiences applied to research, surveillance and control of NTDs by scientists from French-speaking countries, and discuss their constraints and benefits. Six zoonotic NTDs were targeted: echinococcoses, trypanosomiases, leishmaniases, rabies, Taenia solium cysticercosis and leptospiroses. Invitations to fill in an online q…

The Use of Ca- and Mg-Rich Fly Ash as a Chemical Precipitant in the Simultaneous Removal of Nitrogen and Phosphorus - Recycling and Reuse
2019
The European Union’s circular economy strategy aims to increase the recycling and re-use of products and waste materials. According to the strategy, the use of industry waste material should be more effective. A chemical precipitation method to simultaneously remove phosphorus and nitrogen from synthetic (NH4)2HPO4 solution and the liquid phase of anaerobic digestate using fly ash as a precipitant was tested. Fly ash is a waste material formed in the power plant process. It mainly contains calcium oxide (CaO) and magnesium oxide (MgO). Saturated precipitant solution was prepared from fly ash, which was added in small proportions to (NH4)2HPO4 solution during the experiment. Fly ash’s effect…
