The reaction was carried out in a fixed bed reactor at space velocities from 450–800 h−1 which are close to industrial values and at pressures from 0.3 to 1 atm. A set of runs was made over a commercial chromia-alumina catalyst (10% Cr2O3) and over a promoted catalyst prepared in the laboratory by impregnation (16.8% Cr2O3 + 2% K2O). The latter catalyst showed high selectivity and stability even when subjected to continuous cycles of dehydrogenation, regeneration and purging. Of the two noble metal supported catalysts used, reduced Pd/Al2O3 showed higher activity than Pt/SiO2 at 618°C. The former catalyst gave a propylene yield of around 98% at 20% conversion level.","PeriodicalId":15255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemical toxicology","volume":"61 1","pages":"137-142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79083308","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 mechanism of the action of inorganic electrolytes on cement hydration was also investigated. In hardened Portland cement the diffusion rate of the Cl− ion was greater than that of the coexisting cations. The accelerating effect of inorganic electrolytes was dependent mainly on the mobility of anions. The higher the anion mobility, the greater was the accelerating effect on the hydration. It is shown that the hydration of alite is a topochemical reaction and that the rate of hydration of alite is controlled by the rate of the dissolution of Ca2+ or OH− ions into a liquid phase. It is concluded that the dissolution of OH− ions from the hydrate layer around the cement particle is increased when the reciprocal diffusion action of the anion accelerates the hydration.","PeriodicalId":15255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemical toxicology","volume":"287 1","pages":"191-197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73210890","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 oil contains traces of other elements, in particular Na, V, Fe and Ni, which also deposit on these surfaces as either sulphates (Na, Fe, Ni,) or oxides (V). When designing techniques to control acid deposition and the corrosion which it subsequently causes, account must be taken of the degree to which the acid properties can be modified by taking these compounds into solution. A series of measurements of the solubilities of relevant compounds in acid solutions within the appropriate ranges of concentration and temperature (400–460 K) have been made. Sodium sulphate has by far the highest solubility (55 wt% in a solution originally containing 85 wt% H2SO4 at 423 K). Of the other compounds considered, only V2O5 exhibits a solubility of more than 2 wt%; for example, at 463 K, in 75 wt% H2SO4, solutions containing up to 16 wt% V2O5 can be formed. Solutions with up to 23 wt% V2O5 can be stabilised by the presence in solution of small amounts (∼0.5 wt%) of Fe3+ ions. The structure of these solutions is discussed.","PeriodicalId":15255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemical toxicology","volume":"93 1","pages":"585-592"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76953838","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}

In some cases the enzyme which catalyses the rate-limiting step in microbial growth may have more than one substrate binding site and the binding of one substrate molecule to the enzyme facilitates the binding of the next substrate molecule (cooperativity). The presence of cooperativity changes the form of the Michaelis-Menten equation for enzyme-catalysed substrate reactions and also the Monod equation for microbial growth. The number of interacting active sites on an enzyme molecule is an additional parameter in this case. In this article, the cooperative growth model for n interacting sites on the enzyme is derived and compared with the classical Monod model.","PeriodicalId":15255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemical toxicology","volume":"13 1","pages":"704-707"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73908666","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}

In repeated fed batch culture a constant fraction of the culture volume is removed at fixed intervals. Since the productivity (output rate/unit volume) and specific rate of product formation may vary throughout the fed batch cycle, an “average productivity” and “average specific rate of product formation” which describe the overall behaviour of the system over several cycles are introduced. The test shows that the quasi-steady state of cephalosporin production predicted by fed batch theory can be maintained during at least 3.6 culture volume changes. The fed batch method of culture increased the productivity of the culture about 1.3 times with respect to that of simple batch culture whilst the cephalosporin C concentration was about the same in each type of culture.","PeriodicalId":15255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemical toxicology","volume":"3 1","pages":"219-224"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87271370","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}
