heavily polluted wastewater from sanitary landfill presents the leachate characteristics that need special treatment and disposal. concentration of chemical oxygen demand (cod), ammonia nitrogen (nh3-n), heavy metal and other pollutant content are often larger than standard requirement after applying biological/physico-chemical treatment.thus, the combination of coagulationflocculation and chem...

The most popular pretreatment method of plasma samples for the measurement of ascorbate (AsA) and dehydroascorbate (DHA) has been an acidic deproteinization via metaphosphoric acid or trichloroacetic acid. In general, DHA is absent in plasma samples prepared from human blood in a conventional manner. However, when these plasma samples were subjected to acidic deproteinization, DHA was detected ...

Iron release from human and rat transferrin was studied using a system in which the release mediated by 2,3diphosphoglycerate in the presence of desferrioxamine was measured by the change in absorbance at 295 nm. With both proteins iron release could be resolved into two components that represented release from the two iron binding sites at markedly different rates. The rates of iron release we...

The fungus Venturia inaequalis clone No. 36 isolated from Malus domestica cv. Gloster excretes a melanoprotein of 36 kDa in relatively high amounts during growth in liquid culture. The protein was isolated from the culture medium and purified to homogeneity. It was shown to contain melanin. After raising an antiserum against the isolated protein, the protein could be shown to be located in the ...

Myeloperoxidase was purified from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and the effect of chloride upon the EPR and potentiometric properties was studied. The redox titration between the ferrous and ferric states of the enzyme yielded n = 1 Nernst plots between pH 9 and 4, with clear isosbestic points in the optical spectra during the redox change. The midpoint potential (Em) between the ferric an...

The mechanism of inhibition of the veratryl alcohol oxidase activity of lignin peroxidase H2 (LiPH2) by EDTA was investigated. It was found that EDTA was decarboxylated and that cytochrome c, nitro blue tetrazolium, ferric iron, and molecular oxygen were reduced in a reaction mixture containing LiPH2, H2O2, veratryl alcohol, and EDTA. The reductive activity observed with LiPH2 followed first or...

large reserves of coal in tabas region of iran are characterized by low ash and high caking index, suitable for use in metallurgy as coking coal. however, these coals cannot be gainfully utilized because of their high sulfur content. in this work, studies on desulfurization of tabas coals were carried out in a batch reactor using various reagents. the most effective reagents, fe2(so4)3 , fecl3 ...

A new colorimetric method is proposed to determine α-tocopherol and its anti-oxidant activity by monitoring the ability of α-tocopherol to cause quantitative reduction of ferric ions. The method, based on Trinder reaction, includes incubating 1 μmol of ferric chloride in presence of 0 and 15 through 120 μmoles of α-tocopherol followed by detection of the iron (III) with standard mass of salicyl...
