چکیده

Thermodynamic analysis on the acidogenesis of lactose was performed to evaluate the different acidogenic patterns and mechanisms by using Gibbs free energy calculation. Batch acidogenesis of lactose was investigated by using an enriched culture at 37 degrees C, pH 5.5 and varied substrate levels. In addition to usual acidogenic products, i-butyrate, valerate, i-valerate, caproate, and propanol were also produced at a significant level. Thermodynamic analysis shows that valerate might be formed through the reaction requiring hydrogen as electron donor and consuming of propionate and carbon dioxide. Caproate was most likely produced directly from butyrate, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. The minimum amount of Gibbs free energies needed to sustain isomerization of butyrate and valerate were approximately 5.7-5.8 and 4.5-4.6 kJ/mol, respectively. Propanol was produced from acetate, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide with a minimum amount of Gibbs free energy of 41.8-42.0 kJ/mol. Formation of butanol was controlled more by substrate level or population dynamics than by thermodynamics.

Mean Activity Coefficients Measurements and Thermodynamic Modeling of the Ternary Mixed Electrolyte KCl + Lactose + Water System at T = 298.15 K

In this work, the mean activity coefficients of KCl in the KCl+lactose +water system were determined using the potentiometric method. The electromotive force measurements were carried out on the galvanic cell without liquid junction of the type: Ag|AgCl|KCl (m), lactose (wt.%), H2O (1−wt.) %|K-ISE, in various mixed solvent systems containing 0, 5,7.5, 10 and 12.5 % mass fractions of lactose.

Inhibition by chromium and cadmium of anaerobic acidogenesis.

The effects of chromium (III) and cadmium on the anaerobic acidogenesis of a simulated dairy waste were examined using serum vials. At Cd dosages less than 20 mg/l, the acidogenesis process was enhanced by the dosage, resulting in a higher degree of acidification, protein conversion, and hydrogen production than the control. At dosages over 20-mg/l, Cd inhibited the acidogenesis. The Cr (III) d...

Thermodynamic study of ion- association in KNO3 solution in the mixed solvent (water +methanol)

The solubility of KNO3 in the mixed solvent (water 85%+methanol 15%) were determined by using solvent evaporating method at different temperatures (25, 30, 40, 50, 60 ;C). In addition the equilibrium constant of ion pair formation, KIP, for K+NO3 – ion-pair on the basis of Fuoss contact ion pair model was calculated. Upon choosing the extended Debye-Hückel model for estimating the mean activity...
