The effect of temperature on the performance of an anaerobic sequencing biofilm batch reactor (ASBBR) with liquid-phase recirculation
was assessed. Assays were performed using a recirculation velocity of 0.20 cm/s, 8-h cycles, and an average treated synthetic
wastewater volume of 2 L/cycle with a concentration of 500 mg of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)/L. Operation temperatures were
15, 20, 25, 30, and 35°C. At 25, 30, and 35°C, organic matter removal efficiencies for filtered samples ranged from 81 to
83%. At lower temperatures, namely 15 and 20°C, removal efficiency decreased significantly to 61 and 65%, respectively. A
first-order model could be fitted to the experimental concentration profile values. The first-order kinetic parameter value
of this model varied from 0.46 to 0.81 h1 considering the lowest and highest temperature studied. Moreover, analysis of the removal profile values allowed fitting
of an Arrhenius-type equation with an activation energy of 5715 cal/mol. 相似文献
The missing link : Ferrocene and porphyrin monolayers are tethered on silicon surfaces with short (see picture, left) or long (right) linkers. Electron transfer to the silicon substrate is faster for monolayers with a short linker.
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds - In the present work, we have synthesized new molecular hybrids consisting of porphyrin ring system connected at the meso positions with phenyl groups and/or,... 相似文献
Quantitative analysis of amino acids in blood and urine is primarily indicated for the diagnosis of amino acid disorders. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique is frequently used for this detection. The frequency of sample collection on filter paper has been increasing exponentially, and there are many advantages attributed to processing biological samples in this way. The aim of this study was to validate a quantitative analysis of amino acids by HPLC in blood and urine collected on filter paper and to establish reference values in the neonatal period. Dried blood and dried urine samples of respectively 58 and 45 healthy newborns (2–9 days) were collected. Pre-treatment and extraction of samples were done according to the literature. Separation and analysis of amino acids were carried out by HPLC with fluorescence detection. The developed method demonstrated excellent separation, linearity, limits of detection and quantification, repeatability and recovery. The reference values for 17 amino acids were defined in dried blood and urine samples of newborns. This work presents a simple, fast and effective method for the simultaneous analysis of 17 amino acids in blood and urine collected on filter paper in a single run. The reference values were established and validated. 相似文献
The effects of reaction conditions on the labelling of model proteins (human IgG and BSA) with an acridinium hydroxsuccinimidyl ester are studied. The effect of changes in reaction temperature were minimal. An increase in reaction time increased the amount of labelling, eventually reaching saturation. A higher label/protein ratio produced a proportionally higher label incorporation. The optimal pH of the labelling buffer was found to be pH 8.5. The acridinium-labelled proteins can be detected and quantified in the 4 × 10?18?3 × 10?14 mol range. 相似文献
We have prepared a number of isomeric red seaweed galactan-derivative sulfated oligosaccharides to determine whether there
were diagnostic differences among the isomeric mass spectra obtained using ESI CID MS/MS (triple quadrupole instrument). Fragmentation
of the single or multicharged molecular ions from di-, tetra-, and hexasaccharides indicated that the relative positioning
of the sulfate groups and type of monosaccharide unit affect the rate of cleavage of the glycosidic bonds. We also performed
a comparative [M-Na]− fragmentation study of positional isomers of sulfated disaccharides that present all four monosulfation possibilities on
the galactopyranosidic ring. In this case, negative-ion ESI CID MS/MS approach gave diagnostic product ions from cross-ring
cleavages along with the same main B1 ion (from sulfated Galp), at m/z 241, for all isomers. The isomeric disaccharides were also submitted to increased spray energy conditions inducing in-source
fragmentation; preformed B1 ions were then fragmented to give similar product ions as those found in [M-Na]− analysis. Evaluation of the relative abundances mainly for cross-ring fragment ions at m/z 138, 139, 151, 153 allowed clear distinction among the members of the disaccharide series. The different ratios for m/z 151/153 ions were consistent with the predominance of m/z 153 being related to the cases when the bond involved in the cleavage process links a sulfated carbon. A quadrupole ion trap
instrument (MSn analysis) was also utilized to compare the results obtained with the triple quadrupole instrument. 相似文献
