Altering the textural properties of activated carbons (ACs) via physicochemical techniques to increase their specific surface area and/or manipulate pore size is a common practice enhance adsorption capacity. Instead, this study proposes utilization vacant sites remaining unoccupied after dye uptake saturation by removing steric hindrance and same-charge repulsion phenomena multilayer adsorption. Herein, it has been shown that capacity fresh AC direct function molecular size. As...
The control of glycolysis and respiration in a strain baker's yeast was quantified, including, for the first time, corrections obtained from carbon redox balances which allowed interactions between anabolism catabolism. When these were applied, no repression observed during fully adapted growth continuous culture; however, rate reached maximum value, independent nature energy substrate, at specific less than organism. During batch growth, considerable adaptation necessary this organism to...
In the modern communication era, disposal of printed circuit boards is ecologically dire concern on a global scale. The two prevalent methods applied for this waste are either incineration or landfilling both which viewed with skepticism due to their negative environmental impact. Activation nonmetallic fraction leads development mesoporous material highly functional groups can potentially be heavy metal uptake. removal copper, lead, and zinc was studied employing cost-effective novel...
Abstract The relative importance of the individual effects precipitation and chelation metal ions in anaerobic digestion is assessed. Experimentally determined soluble ion levels are compared with predicted obtained by using a previously described methodology. 1 It found that complexes may increase level metals presence CO S 2− factor up to 10 4 . formation complex or decrease availability question for microbial uptake. Two case studies presented, one defined medium medium. possible, medium,...
Abstract A methodology has been developed for the quantitative assessments of individual effects precipitation and chelation metal ions in an anaerobic digester.
Abstract A mathematical model for the aerobic growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in both batch and continuous culture is described. It was based on experimental observation that respiratory capacity organism may become saturated exhibit a maximum specific oxygen uptake rate after suitable adaptation. This led to possibility transport into out mitochondrion major importance overall metabolism S. subject long‐term Consistent with this distributed proposed which. as its basis, assumed control...
