The current study proposes a novel and improved cigarette filtration design comprising cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) powdered activated carbons (PACs) with different dry matter contents. proposed filter samples were primarily analyzed to verify their applicability as filters via measurements standard tests, such SEM, BET, DSC, airflow permeability analysis. results compared the acetate (CA) sampl...

BACKGROUND The recent discovery of accessory proteins that boost cellulose hydrolysis has increased the economical and technical efficiency of processing cellulose to bioethanol. Oxidative enzymes (e.g. GH61) present in new commercial enzyme preparations have shown to increase cellulose conversion yields. When using pure cellulose substrates it has been determined that both oxidized and unoxidi...

Simian virus 40 T antigen binds to both single and double strand DNA. The single and double strand DNA binding activity of crude T antigen preparations was evaluated by chromatography of the antigen on DNA-cellulose columns. Crude T antigen was retained on both native and denatured DNA-cellulos columns and was eluted from both columns under similar conditions. The interaction of highly purified...

Condensation OF tetra-U-acetyk-D-glucopyranosyl bromide withpnitrophenyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-/?-D-glucopyranoside followed by appropriate deblocking reactions gives rise to an approximately equimolar mixture of p-nitrophenyl @,ophoroside and pnitrophenyi Plaminarabioside. The two glycosides are readiIy separated and isolated in pure form by cellulose-column chromatography.

slow sand filters are as a proper technology for pre-treatment of raw water, with a fine and medium trubidity in small communities in developing countries. thus, with a minimum operation cost and minimum need for expest bodies have the maximum efficiency. the purpose of this research is carried out to evaluate the efficiency of two processes of horizontal flow roughing filter and vertical flow ...

Background: It is important to generate biofuels and society must be weaned from its dependency on fossil fuels. In order to produce biofuels, lignocellulose is pretreated and the resulting cellulose is hydrolyzed by cellulases such as cellobiohydrolases (CBH) and endoglucanases (EG). Until now, the biofuel industry has usually applied impractical celluloses to screen for cellulases capable of ...

Addition of polyoxyethylene nonionic detergents to the buffer in paper electrophoresis results in alteration of the rate of migration and shape of protein peaks. At low detergent concentrations, disruption of paper-protein binding leads to faster migration and sharper peaks. At high detergent concentrations, interaction of detergent with protein leadsto slower migration and broader peaks. On gl...

Nine isolates of cellulose-degrading Actinomycetes were isolated from different sediment samples from the Bhitarkanika Mangrove Forest. Cellulase and hydrolytic activity was confirmed with clear zone around the colony on basal salt agar medium using Congo Red. The enzyme assays for two enzymes, filter paper cellulase (FPCase), and carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase), were examined by methods recomm...

A fast and reliable method for the analysis of airborne loaded filters becomes more and more important for monitoring campaigns and inventory studies at sites with airborne pollution. Xray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) can perform quantitative analysis on filters without any pretreatment. Quantitative determination of various metals on loaded filters requires the use of calibration curves set...
