Kinetics of styrene biodegradation by Pseudomonas sp. E-93486

2011

The research into kinetics of styrene biodegradation by bacterial strain Pseudomonas sp. E-93486 coming from VTT Culture Collection (Finland) was presented in this work. Microbial growth tests in the presence of styrene as the sole carbon and energy source were performed both in batch and continuous cultures. Batch experiments were conducted for initial concentration of styrene in the liquid phase changed in the range of 5–90 g m−3. The Haldane model was found to be the best to fit the kinetic data, and the estimated constants of the equation were: μm = 0.1188 h−1, KS = 5.984 mg l−1, and Ki = 156.6 mg l−1. The yield coefficient mean value \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \…

Streulichtuntersuchungen an exotherm-pseudoidealen Lösungen in Abhängigkeit von Druck und Temperatur

1971

Fraktionierte Proben von Polyisobutylen (PIB) (Mw = 73 500 und 690 000) wurden in n-Pentan (70–85°C) und in i-Octan (15–45°C) bei Drucken bis zu 1000 atm untersucht. An beiden Systemen beobachtet man eine ausgepragte Zunahme des zweiten osmotischen Virialkoeffizienten A2 mit steigendem Druck und eine wesentlich schwachere Abnahme mit steigender Temperatur. Eine genauere Analyse ergibt folgendes Bild: Der bei verschiedenen konstanten Drucken aus der Temperaturabhangigkeit von A2 ermittelte A2,H-Wert nimmt mit steigender Temperatur zu und mit steigendem Druck ab; dieser Befund steht im Einklang mit den Ergebnissen der fruheren Untersuchungen [1 – 3]. Im vorliegenden Fall bedeutet er, das die …

Modellrechnungen zur Lösungsmittel- und Polymerenabhängigkeit der thermodynamischen Eigenschaften von Polymerlösungen

1974

Umfangreiche Messungen an Polymerlosungen haben gezeigt, das eine deutliche Korrelation zwischen chemischem Potential, Entropie und Enthalpie besteht. Es wurden verschiedene Modelle (quasi-chemische Naherung, Theorie der 1-2 Kopplung, Theorem der ubereinstimmenden Zustande u. a.) durchgerechnet und mit den experimentellen Werten verglichen. Hierbei ergab sich, das das Theorem der ubereinstimmenden Zustande den breitesten Anwendungsbereich hat, wohingegen die anderen Theorien fur spezielle Probleme brauchbare Resultate liefern. A great number of measurements on polymer solutions showed that there exists a distinct correlation between chemical potential, entropy and heat of dilution. Calculat…

Oxygen K-edge XANES investigation of NicMg1−cO solid solutions

2005

A series of Ni(c)Mg(1-c)O solid solutions are characterized by means of synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption near-edge-structure spectroscopy at oxygen K-edge (532 eV). A dramatic drop of the pre-edge peak intensity is observed in the Ni(c)Mg(1-c)O system upon dilution. It can be attributed to a decrease of 3d(8)(Ni(2+))-2p(O(2-)) mixing upon dilution with magnesium ions due to a decrease of the number of 3d vacancies as nickel ion is replaced by magnesium ion. Similarly, the decrease of the number of 4s and 4p vacancies also leads to a decrease of 4s4p(Ni(2+))-2p(O(2-)) hybridization, and hence a drop of intensities of features B and C. The features E and F are more…

Determination of metal inventory and current efficiency in commercial aluminum reduction cells

1971

A method for the determination of the metal inventory in commercial aluminum reduction cells, based on radioisotope dilution, has been developed, employing a198Au tracer. By taking a large number of samples from the cells, the current efficiency is evaluated from the slope of the cumulative metal inventory vs time data. The method allows a determination of the current efficiency over a period of 2 to 3 days with a relative precision of approximately 1 pct. The paper gives a thorough discussion of the sources of error inherent in the procedure suggested.

Effect of tetrahydrofuran on the conductance and ion-pairing of hydrogen chloride in wet and dry methanol mixtures

1995

The molar conductance of dilute solutions of HCl in wet (68.5% methanol + 31.5% tetrahydrofurane mixtures at 25°C have been measured. The data were analyzed using the Fuoss-Hsia equation to calculate the infinite dilution molar conductances and association constants. The trend of the limiting conductances in these mixtures as a function of the water content shows, once more, the peculiar minimum due to the anomalous proton conductance mechanism. From these data the limiting molar conductance in the anhydrous binary solvent system was evaluated. The percentage excess proton mobility with respect to potassium ion has also been determined. All these data are compared to those found in a binary…

Profiling of endogenous peptides by multidimensional liquid chromatography: On-line automated sample cleanup for biomarker discovery in human urine.

2009

A simple and flexible system, employing a column switching technique, has been designed to allow the analysis of peptides and proteins smaller than 15 kDa by molecular weight in filtered urine samples by performing a direct on-column injection utilising simultaneous sample clean-up and trace enrichment. The positively charged peptides and small proteins in the sample are attracted to the inner, negatively charged pore structure of the RAM-SCX column while the larger proteins and uncharged or negatively charged compounds are excluded. After preconditioning with the biological sample, large amounts of sample can be injected. Several important and adjustable parameters for the proper use of a …

Accurate determination of element species by on-line coupling of chromatographic systems with ICP-MS using isotope dilution technique

1998

Abstract The instrumental design for coupling different liquid chromatographic systems such as ion, reversed phase, and size exclusion chromatography as well as capillary gas chromatography, with ICP-MS for the determination of element species is described. For accurate analyses obtaining ‘real time’ concentrations of chromatographic peaks, the isotope dilution mass spectrometric (IDMS) technique is applied. Two different spiking modes are possible, one using species-specific and another one using species-unspecific spike solutions of isotope-enriched labelled compounds. The species-specific mode is only possible for element species well defined in their structure and composition, for examp…
