Effect of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide on Activity of Different Proteins Released from Hortaea Werneckii

In this study, the suspension culture of Hortaea werneckii was incubated in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO2) in order to use the enzymes from these fungi for biotransformations and compare their activity with the activity of purified commercial enzymes at the same conditions. H. werneckii cell suspension was treated in SC CO2 at 35 °C and different pressures. The survival of H. werneckii c...

Discrepancy between Measured Serum Total Carbon Dioxide Content and Bicarbonate Concentration Calculated from Arterial Blood Gases

Large differences between the concentrations of serum total carbon dioxide (TCO2) and blood gas bicarbonate (HCO3 (-)) were observed in two consecutive simultaneously drawn sets of samples of serum and arterial blood gases in a patient who presented with severe carbon dioxide retention and profound acidemia. These differences could not be explained by the effect of the high partial pressure of ...

Carbon Dioxide Separation from Flue Gases: A Technological Review Emphasizing Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as CO2 in the atmosphere is a global warming. Human activities are a major cause of increased CO2 concentration in atmosphere, as in recent decade, two-third of greenhouse effect was caused by human activities. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a major strategy that can be used to reduce GHGs emission. There are three methods for CCS: ...

Advanced Technology for the Capture of Carbon Dioxide from Flue Gases

Cost effective carbon sequestration schemes have been identified as a key need for dealing with carbon dioxide's (CO 2) impact on global climate change. Two main approaches are being pursued for sequestration: the enhancement of biological carbon sinks, and the capture and storage of CO 2. Since the bulk of the cost in a capture and storage sequestration scheme stems from CO 2 separation and co...
