The lithium salt tracing technique was applied, while the quantity of the lithium chloride tracer and the sampling of the effluent were designed by a preliminarily studied simulation model of mixing. The lithium concentration at the outlet was analysed by Inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Taking into account the geometrical arrangement, the biogas flow produced and the cyclically changing recycle flow, various mixing models were generated with different compartmentalization and flow structures by applying the method of Programmable Process Structures. The simulation-based approximate identification of the mixing model was accomplished by a heuristic approach that took into consideration multiple structures with changing mixing flows. A model with an advantageously small number of compartments and parameters was sought which satisfies the measured RTD. The results suggest the intensive mixing of upper levels with a poorly mixed lower level, which contributes to the long tail in the RTD. The actual set-up supports a good horizontal distribution of the sugar-beet slices and the microbial biomass, while the limited degree of vertical mixing helps to avoid the elutriation of the useful microbiome. The suggested mixing model will be combined with the formerly elaborated model involving 9 bacterial groups.","PeriodicalId":13010,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Journal of Industrial Chemistry","volume":"2 1","pages":"43-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82747377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using oxidoreductase enzymes to treat different micropollutants seems a promising solution. However, the viability of the process is highly dependent on the availability and stability of the applied enzymes. In order to improve the stability and provide faster reaction rates, enzymes can be immobilized in various carriers. Properties such as simple production, easy retention and biodegradable carrier material are advantageous, e.g. entrapping laccase in alginate beads. This paper shows the results of the preparation and characterization of immobilized laccase entrapped in calcium alginate beads. The technique of adding a mixture of sodium alginate and laccase dropwise into calcium chloride has been applied, improved and standardized to produce laccase-containing beads of uniform size and activity. For the purpose of characterization, a widely used substrate, 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt, was used to evaluate the performance of the laccase-containing alginate beads. In addition to the characterization of the laccase-containing alginate beads, the enzyme kinetic constants (= 26.43 µM, ax = 0.23 µM/min) were determined. The reduction in the activity during storage has been described by a decay constant (0.26 d−1 ) that provides information concerning the design constraints of the process. Results will be used to test the method in terms of the removal of organic micropollutants in continuous systems.","PeriodicalId":13010,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Journal of Industrial Chemistry","volume":"18 1","pages":"17-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81775583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since SA is involved in the central metabolism of cells (in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle), it is a key player in the biochemistry of life, which has the potential of biotechnological production. Since SA is formed in the ``middle'' of the TCA cycle it can be formed by both CO2 production and fixation. The significance of the latter is that the amount of the product can be controlled by the availability of CO2, since stoichiometrically one molecule of CO2 is fixed by one molecule of SA. In our studies of compositions of Actinobacillus succinogenes media, the role and effect of pH regulator compounds as well as the effect of an inert atmosphere were investigated in terms of the yield. Furthermore, in fermentation experiments, the application of higher sugar concentrations was also studied. On the basis of different fermentations, a neural network for modelling and describing how factors influence SA production was established.","PeriodicalId":13010,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Journal of Industrial Chemistry","volume":"161 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76631665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of the study is to provide reliable angle estimation for state-feedback-based crane control solutions, designed to reduce load sway. Cranes are underactuated systems, usually unequipped with the sensors necessary to measure the swinging angle, therefore the damping of their oscillatory behaviour is a challenging task. Two estimators are proposed for the calculation of the unmeasured states. One is based on an ’unknown input Kalman filter’ (UIKF), the other applies the ’unscented Kalman filter’ (UKF) with load prediction. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the accuracy of the algorithms.","PeriodicalId":13010,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Journal of Industrial Chemistry","volume":"11 1","pages":"71-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77737955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
