a structured mathematical model of anaerobic conversion of complex organic materials in non-ideally cyclic-batch reactors for biogas production has been developed. the  model is based on multiple-reaction stoichiometry (enzymatic hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis and methanogenesis), microbial growth kinetics, conventional material balances in the liquid and gas phases for a cyclic-batch r...

The kinetics of ethylene (C2H4) and methane (CH4) on platinum (Pt) is investigated in an isothermal Pt microtube. A micro-kinetic model C1 C2 hydrocarbon oxidation the Pt(1 1 1) surface established using density functional theory tuned validated based experimental results obtained from Density (DFT) modelling carried out to evaluate coverage selected species thermochemistry kinetics. reasonably...

The conversion of androgenic steroids to the phenolic estrogens by mammalian tissue has been well documented. The reaction has been reported in relatively low yield, in vitro with ovarian and placental slices (l-3), and in viva after the administration of androgens to various species including man (4, 5). The present report describes the conversion of androgens to estrogens in high yield by a s...

Paulownia Tomentosa was pretreated by steam explosion. The cellulase complex NS 50013 and the β-glucosidase NS 50010 of Novozymes AS were used for the enzymatic conversion of cellulose to glucose. The kinetics of enzyme conversion was studied using the exponential kinetic equation valid for processes taking place at uniformly inhomogeneous surfaces. The kinetic coefficient of inhomogeneity acco...

The thermal conversion reaction of poly-(1,3-phenyl-1,4-phenyl)-hydrazide into poly-(1,3phenyl-1,4-phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadi~le has been studied using thermogravimetry (TG). For the evaluation of the energie of activation and other kinetic parameters of this cyclo dehydration reaction a method developed by Ozawa was used, where polymer samples are heated with different constant heating rates. With th...

The photo-curing behavior of composites containing nanosized SiO2 in an acrylated hyperbranched polymer matrix was investigated by means of photo differential scanning calorimetry. The chemical conversion data were analyzed using an autocatalytic model, paying close attention to the influence of composition and UV intensity. It was shown that the reaction order and the autocatalytic exponent we...

The 67LR (67 kDa laminin receptor) enables cells to interact with components of the extracellular matrix. The molecule is derived from the 37LRP (37 kDa laminin receptor precursor); however, the precise molecular mechanism of this conversion is unknown. Recombinant 37LRP, expressed in and purified from Escherichia coli, bound to human laminin in a SPR (surface plasmon resonance) experiment. 67L...

In the present research work, the kinetics of sunflower oil transesterification reaction in the presence of Ba-Sr/ZSM-5 nanocatalyst which prepared using incipient wetness impregnation method was investigated. The 10wt.%Ba-Sr/ZSM-5 (Sr/Ba=3/2) nanocatalyst was calcined at 600 °C for 6 h with a heating rate of 3 ºC/min. The experimental conditions were the methanol/oil 9/1molar ratio, reaction t...

Hyperpolarized (13)C MR measurements have the potential to display non-linear kinetics. We have developed an approach to describe possible non-first-order kinetics of hyperpolarized [1-(13)C] pyruvate employing a system of differential equations that agrees with the principle of conservation of mass of the hyperpolarized signal. Simultaneous fitting to a second-order model for conversion of [1-...
