Biodegradation of crude oil by immobilized microbial cells in alginate beads produced by electrospraying technique
Background and Objective: Petroleum compounds are major contributors to aquatic environmental pollution. In recent years, biological treatments as environmental-friendly and cost-effective techniques have been used alongside the various physico-chemical methods. Microbial cell immobilization in hydrogel carriers has been the focus of researchers due to various advantages such as ease of microbi...
متن کاملA first principles investigation of isotactic polypropylene
Bulk isotactic polypropylene in the a form was studied using density functional theory-based computations. The computed physical structure of this system is in excellent agreement with available experimental data. The electronic band structure, ionization potential, and electron affinity were also determined. The impact of various types of chemical imperfections (including double bond, hydroxyl...
متن کاملExtensional-flow-induced crystallization of isotactic polypropylene
A filament stretching extensional rheometer with a custom-built oven was used to investigate the effect of uniaxial flow on the crystallization of polypropylene. Prior to stretching, samples were heated to a temperature well above the melt temperature to erase their thermal and mechanical histories and the Janeschitz-Kriegl protocol was applied. The samples were stretched at extension rates in ...
متن کاملHigh-pressure crystallization of isotactic polypropylene droplets
Dispersions of isotactic polypropylene (PP) particles in polystyrene (PS) were produced by interfacially driven breakup of nanolayers in multilayered systems that were fabricated by means of layer-multiplying coextrusion. The droplet size was controlled by the individual PP layer thickness ranging from 12 to 200 nm. In addition, PP was melt blended with PS to produce PP droplets larger than tho...
متن کاملAerobic biodegradation of 2,2'-dithiodibenzoic acid produced from dibenzothiophene metabolites.
Dibenzothiophene is a sulfur heterocycle found in crude oils and coal. The biodegradation of dibenzothiophene through the Kodama pathway by Pseudomonas sp. strain BT1d leads to the formation of three disulfides: 2-oxo-2-(2-thiophenyl)ethanoic acid disulfide, 2-oxo-2-(2-thiophenyl)ethanoic acid-2-benzoic acid disulfide, and 2,2'-dithiodibenzoic acid. When provided as the carbon and sulfur source...
