The biodesulfurization (BDS) of sulfur compounds in fossil fuels is a process to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions that cause environmental pollution. Gordonia alkanivorans RIPI90A is able to convert dibenzothiophene, an organic sulfur compound in petroleum, to 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2-HBP) in 4S pathway. In this study, (DBT), DszA and DszB, DBT sulfone monooxygenase, and desulfinase were respectivel...

the stoichiometric parameter namely “yield coefficient” associated with growth of certain organism can be determined by direct measurement and/or calculated indirectly. the focus of this paper was on the anoxic yield of heterotrophic organisms using ethanol as an external carbon source during the denitrification process. in the literature, it was observed that yield coefficients can vary for th...

Chitosan/polyethersulfone (CS/PES) composite membrane was prepared from casting chitosan solution on polyethersulfone substrate membrane. The Substrate membrane was prepared by phase inversion technique using polyethersulfone (PES) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as solvent with and without the addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as pore-forming agent. The effects of the composition of the c...

ABSTRACT. Organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers method with unique properties are preferred than conventional immobilization methods for the past decade. Hereemoglobin-based material (HbNFs@Cu) was synthesized under different experimental conditions (pH 5.0-9.0 and 0.01-0.50 mgmL-1 of hemoglobin) obtaining a size 9-10 µm. The encapsulation percentage weight yield HbNFs@Cu were determined as 100%...

In this work, Poly(ethyleneterephthalate) (PET) substrate was treated using KOH solution and was modified using hybrid O-I coating containing PCL )polycaprolactone( as organic phase and TEOS )tetraethoxysilane( as inorganic phase. The coating was prepared through a sol-gel process and applied on the surface by dip coater. Then, electrically conducting polythiophene (PTh) nanoparticles were depo...
