kinetic parameters of the ammonolysis reaction of dichloroethane in nonaqueous media are studied and the optimum reaction conditions are reported. a suitable reactor for running the reaction under high pressure in the range of 50 to 500 °c is designed. kinetic behaviours of the system is studied and other reaction parameters such as rate constant, kinetic order, and activation energy are determ...

a model describing the main processes occurring in the uasb reactor was developed; in orderto maintain simplicity and applicability of the model, only the fundamental aspects were considered. in themodel, the reactor is divided in several well-stirred reactors coupled in series and it comprises substratedegradation, biomass growth and the reactions that take place within the granules. the impor...

a simple, sensitive and rapid method for determination of trace amounts of nitrite ion in real samples is reported. the reaction is initiated by adding known volumes of a nitrite ion solution of identified concentration to acidic solutions of thionine which causes decolorizaiton of reagent with time. the absorbance changes is then monitored spectrophotometrically at lmax = 602nm at 25 °c. calib...

berberine was loaded in yeast cells of saccharomyces cerevisiaeas a novel pharmaceutical carrier to improve the treatment ofmany diseases. the yeast-encapsulated active materialsshowedhigh stability and bioavailability due to the enhanced solubility and sustained releasing. in this study, different characteristics of prepared berberine loaded yeast cells (loading capacity, release kinetic order...

acrylamide (aa) is an important industrial chemical agent that is mainly used in the production of polymers and copolymers. recently it has been attention because of its production in the diet at high-temperature (>120 ºc) processes such as cooking, frying, toasting, roasting or baking of high carbohydrate foods. according to high exposure to acrylamide, recognition of its toxic effect is neces...

conclusions after seven consecutive passages of both cell cultures, the h9n2 virus showed similar antigenicity, also no change on viral titer level and virus replication behavior in adaptation was found. the results highlighted the use of a549 cells for efficient virus isolation. results the influenza virus infectivity was not significant difference in these cells in the presence of trypsin. th...

kinetic monte carlo simulation was applied to investigation of kinetics and mechanism of oxalic acid degradation by direct and heterogeneous catalytic ozonation. la-containing perovskites including lafeo3, lanio3, lacoo3 and lamno3 was studied as catalyst for oxalic acid ozonation. the reaction kinetic mechanisms of each abovementioned catalytic systems has been achieved. the rate constants val...

The parameterization of unresolved processes in oceanographic models is complicated by the interplay of processes on a wide variety of space and time scales. The lack of spectral gaps further complicates the situation, though perhaps not as seriously as might be feared. Understanding the interaction of different processes, and determining which one is critical, or rate-controlling, may be aided...

A principal technical objective is to simulate and understand the behavior of Lagrangian drifters and floats in the presence of deep convection in the Labrador Sea. The corollary scientific objective for the Labrador Sea DeepConvection ARI is to understand the production, transport and dissipation of TKE and scalar variances (potential temperature and salinity); and the production and transport...
