High-productivity continuous biofilm reactor for butanol production

Corn steep liquor (CSL), a byproduct of the corn wet-milling process, was used in an immobilized cell continuous biofilm reactor to replace the expensive P2 medium ingredients. The use of CSL resulted in the production of 6.29 g/L of total acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) as compared with 6.86 g/L in a control experiment. These studies were performed at a dilution rate of 0.32 h⁻¹. The productivities in the control and CSL experiment were 2.19 and 2.01 g/(L·h), respectively. Although the use of CSL resulted in a 10% decrease in productivity, it is viewed that its application would be economical compared to P2 medium. Hence, CSL may be used to replace the P2 medium. It was also demonstrated that inclusion of butyrate into the feed was beneficial to the butanol fermentation. A control experiment produced 4.77 g/L of total ABE, and the experiment with supplemented sodium butyrate produced 5.70 g/L of total ABE. The butanol concentration increased from 3.14 to 4.04 g/L. Inclusion of acetate in the feed medium of the immobilized cell biofilm reactor was not found to be beneficial for the ABE fermentation, as reported for the batch ABE fermentation.

锂离子电池负极合金CoSn和Cu-Sn的制备与表征

CoSn alloy and Cu-Sn samples were synthesized by H₂-reduction following solid-state reaction between Co(Ⅱ)， Cu(Ⅱ)， Sn(Ⅳ) and NaOH at ambient temperature. The samples were characterized by XRD， SEM. The results showed that CoSn alloy (80～200nm) is globe-shaped， ultrafine hexagonal material， and Cu-Sn alloy powder consists of two phases， i.e. Cu₆Sn₅ and Cu₃Sn. Cu-Sn powder has spherical morphology and the particle size is estimated to be 60～70nm. The electrochemical performances of CoSn alloy and Cu-Sn powder were studied using lithium-ions model cell Li/LiPF₆ (EC+DMC)/CoSn (or Cu-Sn). It was demonstrated the reversible discharge capacities for 10 cycles keep above 280mAh·g^-1 for nanophase Cu-Sn， and 60mAh·g^-1 for CoSn alloy. Differ-ential capacity plots showed that the reaction mechanisms of Cu-Sn with lithium were reversible.

A FACTOR FROM GRANULOSA CELLS CAN STIMULATE OOCYTE TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR ACTIVITY

Several studies indicate that substances synthesized by granulosa cells are capableof regulating oocyte activity. We have studied the effect of factors synthesized by gran-ulosa cells on tPA activity of denuded oocytes using a co- culture system. The resultsshow that an FSH- dependent factor(s) synthesized by granulosa cells (but not by theca-interstitial cells) is capable of stimulating tPA activity of denuded oocytes. This findingis important for understanding hormonal regulation of oocyte tPA activity by mediatorssynthesized in granulosa cells.

STUDIES ON PREPARATION OF INACTIVATED VACCINES FROM CELL CULTURES OF MINK ENTERITIS VIRUS (MEV) AND THEIR IMMUNITY

In this paper, superhigh reproductive rate strains of MEV with titre more than HA8192* or TCID50 log9.7 10 have been achieved both by cultivation in cell lines with different susceptibility to MEV and by isolating and identifying in field by the author. The systematic tests proved that S18 and L12 strains of MEV are the best strains for vaccine preparation. In this study, the best means for the tissue cultivation of MEV and the most advanced technological process for the production and detection of serum-free cell-cultured MEV fluids with super-high HA titre in batches in large quantities have been established for the first time. Optimum conditions for MEV inactivation were determined, and safe and effective inactivated vaccines with mineral oil or A1(OH)3 gel adjuvant were successfully prepared with serum-free cell-cultured MEV fluids. Both vaccines with different adjuvants can be manufactured in batches in large quantities and have been widely used all over China since 1986. The change laws of the imm     

The effect of capillary column diameter on the performance of thermal conductivity detectors

The concentration sensitivity of a thermal conductivity detector (TCD) depends, among other factors, on the amount of sample mixture in the detector's sensing cell. Since the cell volume has to be appropriately matched with column diameter, it makes the concentration sensitivity of a TCD dependent on column diameter and, therefore, on the speed of gas chromatography. Through reduction of column diameter, higher speed tends to lead to a reduction in the concentration sensitivity of the cell. The factor which the most directly affects the concentration sensitivity of a TCD cell is the heat power conducted through the cell. The higher the power, the greater the sensitivity. The limit of detection of a TCD depends on the concentration-sensitivity of its cell and on the level of statistical errors in the measurement. The errors increase with increasing analysis speed. As the column diameter is reduced, the errors cause additional worsening (on top of the decrease in concentration sensitivity) of the detection limit, dynamic range, and other performance characteristics of the TCD.
