CATALYTIC WET PEROXIDE OXIDATION OF HYDROQUINONE WITH Co（II）/ACTIVE CARBON CATALYST LOADED IN STATIC BED

Catalysts based on Co（II） supported on active carbon were prepared and loaded in static bed. The hydroquinone would be degraded completely after treated by Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation method with Co（II）/active carbon catalyst. After activate treatment, the active carbon was immerged in cobaltous nitrate solution, then put into a drying oven, Co（II） could be loaded on the micro-surface of carbon. Taking the static bed as the equipment, the absorption of active carbon and catalysis of Co（II） was used to reduce activation energy of hydroquinone. Thus hydroquinone could be drastically degraded and the effluent can be drained under the standard. Referring to Fenton reaction mechanism, experiment had been done to study the heterogeneous catalyzed oxidation mechanism of Co（II）. The degradation rate of hydroquinone effluent could be achieved to 92% when treated in four columns at H2O2 concentration 10%, reaction temperature 40 ℃, pH 5 and reaction time 2.5h.     

Oxidative coupling of methane in a fixed bed reactor over perovskite catalyst： A simulation study using experimental kinetic model

The oxidative coupling of methane （OCM） to ethylene over a perovskite titanate catalyst in a fixed bed reactor was studied experimentally and numerically. The two-dimensional steady state model accounted for separate energy equations for the gas and solid phases coupled with an experimental kinetic model. A lumped kinetic model containing four main species CH4, O2, COx （CO2, CO）, and C2 （C2H4 and C2H6） was used with a plug flow reactor model as well. The results from the model agreed with the experimental data. The model was used to analyze the influence of temperature and feed gas composition on the conversion and selectivity of the reactor performance. The analytical results indicate that the conversion decreases, whereas, C2 selectivity increases by increasing gas hourly space velocity （GHSV） and the methane conversion also decreases by increasing the methane to oxygen ratio.     

Strategies for Enhancing Laccase Yield from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Streptomyces psammoticus</Emphasis> and Its Role in Mediator-based Decolorization of Azo Dyes

Enhanced production of laccases from Streptomyces psammoticus in solid-state fermentation was carried out using two different strategies: laccase inducers and scale-up process. Laccase yield was enhanced by a wide range of aromatic inducers. The best inducer was pyrogallol, which yielded 116 U/g as compared to the control (55.4 U/g). Scale-up studies in packed bed bioreactor was performed at different aeration rates. Aeration at 1.5 vvm was identified as the optimum condition for laccase production (75.4 U/g) in the column bioreactor. The enzyme yield was enhanced further by combining the best conditions from the first two experiments. Fermentation was carried out in bioreactors in the presence of 1 mM pyrogallol, which resulted in 3.9-fold increase in laccase yield (215.6 U/g). The role of laccase in azo dye decolorization was evaluated in the presence of four different laccase mediators, at different concentrations. 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) proved to be the best mediator for S. psammoticus laccase and decolorized the azo dyes efficiently. Acid orange, Methyl orange, and Bismarck brown were decolorized at the rates of 86%, 71%, and 75% respectively, by HOBT.     

Simultaneous Continuous Removal of Cr(VI) and Phenol from Binary Synthetic Simulated Waste Water in Tea Waste Packed Bed Column: Kinetic Modeling

In this study, simultaneous co-adsorption of Cr(VI) and phenol was carried out in a continuous packed-bed reactor packed with tea waste biomass. The experiments were carried out using binary synthetic simulated solution containing 100 mg/L of Cr(VI) and 50 mg/L of phenol. The binary synthetic solution was passed through the packed-bed reactor at different flow rates (5.46, 8.19, and 16.3 mL/min) and bed height (36, 54, 72, and 93 cm). The pH of the binary synthetic solution was 5 as the maximum simultaneous percentage removal of Cr(VI) and phenol was obtained at this pH reported in our previous study.^[1 Gupta, A. and Balomajumder, C. (2015) J. Water Proc. Eng., 6: 1–10.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]^] The effects of flow rate and bed depth onto the simultaneous percentage removal of Cr(VI) and phenol were investigated. According to the average percentage error (?%) and average relative error (ARE %) calculated for various kinetic models reveal that Yoon–Nelson model for Cr(VI) and Thomas model for phenol best describes the experimental data. The maximum adsorption capacity of tea waste biomass in a packed-bed reactor for Cr(VI) and phenol was 57.04 and 27.96 mg/g, respectively. The packed bed of the column was regenerated using 2 N NaOH.

Comparative genomics for understanding the structure,function and sub-cellular localization of hypothetical proteins in Thermanerovibrio acidaminovorans DSM 6589 (tai)

The Thermanerovibrio acidaminovorans DSM 6589 (tai) is a unique bacterium isolated from anaerobic sludge bed reactor from sugar refinery in Netherland. The comparative genomic studies for understanding the hypothetical proteins in T. acidaminovorans DSM 6589 (tai) were carried out using different bioinformatic tools and web servers. In all 320 hypothetical proteins were screened from the total available genome. The Insilico function prediction for 320 hypothetical proteins was achieved by using different online servers like CDD-Blast, Interproscan and pfam whereas, the structure prediction for 202 hypothetical proteins were deciphered by using protein structure prediction server (PS2 server). The sub-cellular localization for the identified proteins was predicted by the use of cello v2.5 for 320. The study carried out has helped us to understand the structures and functions of unknown proteins available in T. acidaminovorans DSM 6589 (tai) through comparative genomic approach.     

True moving bed electrophoresis using stepped electric field gradients

True moving bed electrophoresis has been shown to be an effective technique for the bench-scale separation of enantiomers, and it is desired to increase the maximum possible throughput attainable with the process by using electric field gradients. Homatropine enantiomer separations were performed and results using a stepped electric field gradient were compared to those using a traditional non-gradient separation. In order to accomplish this, a newly designed stator was constructed for use with the Vortex-Stabilized Electrophoresis Apparatus that has three sets of electrode housings, one set at both ends and one in the middle of the chamber. There were several problems related to the membranes used at the middle electrode. The dialysis membranes were permeable to the homatropine enantiomers, and while a switch to anion exchange membranes prevented the permeation of the homatropine, this caused a pH shift that interrupted binding to the hydroxypropyl-ss-cyclodextrin chiral selector. These problems prevented any meaningful data from being collected using homatropine enantiomers, and due to this, a proof of concept study was conducted using two bovine proteins. The separations using fluorescein-labeled BSA and bovine hemoglobin showed that a 63% increase in the maximum processing rate was attainable. The maximum throughput using the non-gradient process was 30.6 mg/h and the maximum was 50.0 mg/h using an electric field gradient that was 10% lower than the non-gradient field in section II and 10% higher in section III.

The convergences of three L₁ spline methods for scattered data interpolation and fitting using bivariate spline spaces are studied in this paper. That is, L₁ interpolatory splines, splines of least absolute deviation, and L₁ smoothing splines are shown to converge to the given data function under some conditions and hence, the surfaces from these three methods will resemble the given data values.
