A flow-injection method has been developed for the determination of total sulphite in wine samples. After hydrolysis of bound sulphite, sulphur dioxide is separated from the matrix by means of an in-line gas diffusion module. For detection indirect amperometry is used, with iodine as oxidizing reagent. The iodine can be generated in-line by merging and mixing iodate and iodide solutions, or alt...

Two approaches for creating a new all-cellulose composite material have been studied: the biosynthesis of compartmentalised bacterial cellulose fibril aggregates and the compression moulding of commercial chemical wood pulps processed with only water. The objective was to study the structural changes during processing and the complexity of relating the mechanical properties of the final biocomp...

Chlamydomonas reinhardii CW 15, Higher Plant Lipids, Diacylsulphoquinovosyl Glyceride, Sulphonyl Group Incorporation, Adenosine 3'-phosphate 5'-Sulphatophosphate Biosynthesis of the plant sulpholipid (diacylsulphoquinovosyl glycerol) has been demonstrated in a cell-free assay system from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardii CW 15. The sulpholipid was labelled with [35S]sulphate when ATP, Mg2...

Results are presented on the rate of thiamin cleavage by sulphite in aqueous solutions as affected by temperature (20-700), pH (2.5-7.0), and variation of the concentration of either thiamin (1-20,UM) or sulphite (10-5000,UM as sulphur dioxide). Plots ofthe logarithmn ofpercentage ofresidual thiamin against time were found to be linear and cleavage thus was first-order with respect to thiamin. ...

1. The products of the lactoperoxidase-catalysed oxidation of thiocyanate by hydrogen peroxide were sulphate, carbon dioxide and ammonia. Cyanate, sulphite and a compound showing increased extinction at 235m,u (the '235 compound') were intermediate oxidation products. 2. Two of the intermediates acted as electron acceptors in the oxidation of NADH2. Thus NADH2 was oxidized by sulphite in the pr...

• Lead sulphite passivated galena surfaces. Sulphite ions interacted with free lead to form sulphite. Dithionite decomposition products degraded xanthate in solution. are potential determining at the mineral surface. The recovery of sulphide minerals is depressed high dithionite concentrations. Sulphoxy anions recycled flotation process waters possess reduce efficacy reagents. In this study, an...

The bacterial biodegradation of a secondary sulphonate, sulphosuccinate, has been shown to occur by direct desulphonation. A bacterium, designated Pseudomonas sp. BS1, was isolated from activated sewage sludge, for its capacity to grow on sulphosuccinate as the sole source of carbon and energy. Cultures grown on sulphosuccinate were able to convert this substrate to sulphite which was subsequen...
