A kinetic model for urea decomposition and byproduct formation was developed validated against thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) of urea-derived byproducts, including biuret cyanuric acid, at heating rates up to 500 °C/min. The provided a good description all investigated rates. results indicate that an increase in rate causes shift production acid into ammelide limits the overall formation. Add...

The metabolic byproducts secreted by growing cells can be easily measured and provide a window into the state of a cell; they have been essential to the development of microbiology, cancer biology, and biotechnology. Progress in computational modeling of cells has made it possible to predict metabolic byproduct secretion with bottom-up reconstructions of metabolic networks. However, owing to a ...

Electrochemical systems are an attractive option for onsite latrine wastewater treatment due to their high efficiency and small footprint. While concerns remain over formation of toxic byproducts during treatment, rigorous studies examining byproduct formation are lacking. Experiments treating authentic latrine wastewater over variable treatment times, current densities, chloride concentrations...
