This paper investigates the rim fragmentation of a millimeter-sized methyl-ethyl-ketone droplet imposed by impact different millijoule nanosecond laser beams. The physical mechanisms that determine deformation, expansion, and evolution detached fragments from are demonstrated, considering influence beam energy. key finding our numerical study is quantification during process using physically co...

Many industrial practices and waste treatment operations produce gas streams containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that require treatment. Although biological treatment has been applied successfully to treat many waste gases, the literature contains numerous reports of diminished treatment performance under conditions of excessive drying or low pH in biofilter beds. Use of fungi in biofi...

In the past forty years in Japan and Taiwan, many thermal explosions have been caused by methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKPO) under the influence of external fire and others. Thermograms of commercialized MEKPO dimers were first screened by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to determine the heat of decomposition and exothermic onset temperature. Thermal runaway phenomena were then thoroug...

This paper describes an unexpected and novel nucleophilic phosphine-catalyzed annulation of ethyl (arylimino)acetates to give polysubstituted oxoimidazolidine derivatives in moderate to good yields from simple and easily available starting materials under mild conditions. In this reaction, the addition of methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) is essential to induce the formation of oxoimidazolidines.

Here, we present the complete genome of Rhodococcus pyridinivorans SB3094, a methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK)-degrading strain used for bioaugmentation relating to the treatment of wastewater contamination with petrochemical hydrocarbons. The genome highlights important features for bioaugmentation, including the genes involved in the degradation of MEK.

Reduced downstream costs, together with high purity recovery of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), will accelerate the commercialization of high quality PHA-based products. In this work, a process was designed for effective recovery of the copolymer poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyhexanoate) (P(HB-co-HHx)) containing high levels of HHx (>15 mol%) from Ralstonia eutropha biomass using non-halogenated so...
