Abstract The removal of organic pollutants from ship emission was studied using two processes namely electron beam (EB) and hybrid EB with wet scrubbing process. A mobile accelerator unit used to treat 4915 Nm 3 /h flue gas emitted a tugboat in Riga Shipyard. volume m seawater containing 36.8 mM NaClO 2 oxidant as scrubber solution. Organic pollutants, mainly volatile (VOCs), were collected at ...

Ca2+-pump of sarcoplasmic reticulum was partially purified and solubilized with Triton-X100 in the presence of excess phospholipids. Vesicles were reconstituted by removal of Triton with Amberlite XAD-2 and the subsequent freeze-thaw/sonication method (Kasahara, M. and Hinkle, P. C. (1977) J. Biol. Chem., 252: 7384-7390). In the reconstituted system, H+ was ejected during Ca2+ uptake and in the...

A reliable and sensitive method is described for the quantitative determination of the herbicide paraquat in serum. It involves the formation of dodecyl sulfate-paraquat ion pairs, adsorption of these ion-pairs on XAD-2 resin, and determination of the sensitive derivative spectrum of reduced paraquat. Analytical recovery of paraquat added to serum was about 86% at concentrations of 0.02-1.0 mg/...

This paper describes a method for the removal of acid-soluble lignin from acid-hydrolyzed hemicelluloses extracted from a mixture of northern US hardwood chips, by using Amberlite XAD-4 resin, which was shown to remove 100% of furan derivatives and 90% of acid-soluble lignin. Subsequent fermentation of the resin-treated hydrolyzates gave ethanol yields as high as 97% of theoretical and showed a...

Leachates produced at the La Zoreda landfill in Asturias, Spain, were recirculated through a simulated landfill pilot plant. Prior to recirculation, three loads of different amounts of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) were added to the plant, forming in this way consecutive layers. When anaerobic digestion was almost completed, the leachates from the landfill were recirculated. After recirculation, ...

The yields of ethylene from endogenous and exogenous 1-aminocyclo-propane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) in avocado (Persea Americana Mill.) fruit pedicel extracts were very low when assayed by the method of Lizada and Yang (1979 Anal Biochem 100: 140-145). Addition of phenolic compounds, which are present in avocado tissues, to the assay mixture significantly reduced the conversion efficiency of ACC ...
