Organic Substances Artificially Formed from Albumen

Biological Formation of Organic Substances from Particulate Organic Matter

Biological degradation of terrestrially derived macromolecules including lignin and cellulose has been shown to produce a large number of environmentally relevant phenolic compounds. It has demonstrated that extracellular superoxide (O2 ) is produced by heterotrophic bacteria that are common in lakes, soil, hydrothermal vents, marine sediments, estuaries and oceans. Rates of superoxide producti...

The Formation of Humic Bodies from Organic Substances.

Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Materials Formed From TiO2 Nanoparticles and Polyaniline

Este artigo descreve a síntese e caracterização de diferentes híbridos orgânico/inorgânicos formados entre a polianilina e o óxido de titânio. O método de preparação é baseado no processo sol-gel, partindo do isopropóxido de titânio como precursor. Duas rotas sintéticas visando a obtenção dos híbridos foram utilizadas, baseadas na mistura da anilina no meio reacional antes ou após a formação do...

Biodegradability assessments of organic substances and polymers.

The biodegradation of organic substances is a natural yet poorly understood process. Given that biodegradation assessments form an integral part of chemical regulations to assess the persistent of substances this lack of knowledge needs to be addressed. Official references define the biodegradation process as "The biologically mediated degradation or transformation of chemicals usually carried ...

Characterization of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from periphyton using liquid chromatography-organic carbon detection–organic nitrogen detection (LC-OCD-OND)

A protocol was developed to extract, fractionate, and quantitatively analyze periphyton extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which obtains both information on the molecular weight (M r) distribution and protein and polysaccharide content. The EPS were extracted from freshwater periphyton between July and December 2011. Organic carbon (OC) compounds from different EPS extracts were analyzed...
