Hydroxides and oxides of Al, Fe and Mn were prepared in lab under opened and closed conditions to react with phosphate. The newly formed Mn hydroxide showed the strongest P-fixing abilityl even several times higher than Fe hydroxide, but became the lowest rapidly due to ageing when exposed to air. Mn oxide showed the lowest p-fixing ability. Therefore, a sound consideration on P fixation should be based on both quantities and p-fixing abilities of the compounds of Fe, Al and Mn. The importance of Mn on P availability should receive more attention especially under oxidation-reduction dynamic conditions.展开更多

In the current investigation, a more complete understanding of adsorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous systems onto HaPO4-acid activated lignin has been achieved via microcolumns, which were operated under various process conditions. The practice of using microcolumn is appropriate for defining the adsorption parameters and for screening a large number of poten- tial adsorbents. The effects of solution pH (2-8), initial metal ion concentration (0.483-1.981 mmol.L-1), flow rate (1.0-3.1 cm3-min-1), ionic strength (0.01-0.30 mmol-L-1) and adsorbent mass (0.11 0.465 g) on Cr(VI) adsorption were studied by assessing the microcolmnn breakthrough curve. The microcolumn data were fitted by the Thomas model, the modified Dose model and the BDST model. As expected, the adsorption capacity increased with initial Cr(VI) concentration. High linear flow rates, pH values and ionic strength led to early breakthrough of Cr(VI). The model constants obtained in this study can be used for the design of pilot scale adsorption process.展开更多

The effects of water content, oil/methanol molar ratio, temperature, enzyme amount, solvent,number of methanol added times and two-step methanolysis by using Candida sp. 99-125 as catalyst were investigated. The optimal conditions for processing 1 g rice bran oil were: 0.2 g immobilized lipase, 2 ml n-hexane as solvent, 20% water based on the rice bran oil mass, temperature of 40 °C and two-step addition of methanol. As a result, the fatty acid methyl esters yield was 87.4%. The immobilized lipase was proved to be stable when it was used repeatedly for 7 cycles.展开更多

When the initial concentration of the dye was 150 mg/L, CODer was 432 mg/L and chrome was 2800 times, the appropriate conditions determined by the experiment were as follows: r(NaC10)--4.84 g/L, 25 min, pH=6, height of activated carbon fixed bed was 10 cm. Under these conditions, the decolorizing rate can come up to about 100% and total removed rate of CODer reached at 89.6%. Comparison of UV-Vis adsorption spectrums before and after treatment showed that decomposition effects of chemical oxidation and adsorption of activated carbon fixed bed on acidic black 10B dye wastewater were satisfactory.展开更多

Central composite design was employed to determine the maximum lactic acid production of 45.40 g/L in predicted model (Y = 43.98 - 2.43X1 + 1.02X2 + 2.96X3 - 8.72X1^2 - 3.99X2^2 - 1.74X3^2) with the factors at 5.9 of cultural medium pH, 37.6 ℃ of process temperature and 202 rpm of liquid agitation. Statistical analyses demonstrated very high significance for the regression model fitted the data adequately and explained the lactic acid production, since the F-value computed 54.89 was much higher than the tabulated F-value 2.08 for the lactic acid production at 5% level for linear and quadratic polynomial regression models. The highest experimental lactic acid production was 46.91 g/L at 72 h of fermentation.展开更多

Uniform-size and core-shell structured Fe3O4@PDA-PBA magnetic microspheres with a core diameter of -240 nm and a shell thickness of -13 nm were obtained as identified by the characterization of the morphology, structure and composition of the synthesized microspheres. We evaluated the selectivity and binding capacity of the Fe3O4@PDA-PBA magnetic microsphcres by using standard glycoproteins (ovalbumin, immunoglobulin G and catalase) and nonglycoproteins (human serum albumin, bovine hemoglobin, myoglobin, lysozyme, and ribonuclease A) as model proteins. Adsorption experiments, SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated that the Fe3O4@PDA-PBA magnetic microspheres had much high binding capacity and selectivity for glycoproteins/glycopeptides compared to nonglycoproteins/nonglycopeptides. In addition, the practicability of the Fe3O4@PDA-PBA magnetic microspheres was further assessed by selective capture of glycoproteins from healthy hu- man serum. The good results demonstrated its potential in glycoproteome analysis.展开更多
