The present study demonstrates the immobilization of Aspergillus oryzae β-galactosidase on cellulose acetate-polymethylmethacrylate (CA-PMMA) membrane and its application in hydrolyzing lactose in dairy industries. The effect of physical and chemical denaturants like pH, temperature, product inhibition by galactose, storage stability, and reuse number of the enzyme immobilized on CA-PMMA membra...

Several reactor configurations have been tested for catalytic propane dehydrogenation employing Pt-Sn/MgAl2O4 as a catalyst. Pd-Ag alloy membranes coupled to the multifunctional Two-Zone Fluidized Bed Reactor (TZFBR) provide an improvement in propane conversion by hydrogen removal from the reaction bed through the inorganic membrane in addition to in situ catalyst regeneration. Twofold process ...

Mixed microbial culture (MMC) electrofermentation (EF) represents a promising tool to drive metabolic pathways toward the production of specific compound. Here, MMC-EF process has been exploited obtain butyric acid in simplified membrane-less reactors operated by applying difference potential between two low-cost graphite electrodes. Ten values voltage difference, from −0.60 V −1.5 V, have test...

Ten selected murine hybridoma cell lines that produce monoclonal antibodies against M type 5 Streptococcus pyogenes and human heart antigen were isolated. All of the monoclonal antibodies studied were determined to be the immunoglobulin M isotype. The antibodies were characterized on the basis of their reactions with Triton X-100-extracted whole human heart antigens, sodium dodecyl sulfate-extr...

The review summarized the types, the geometry, and the design principle of pretreatment reactors at high solid loading of lignocellulose material. Among the reactors used, the explosion reactors and the helical stirring reactors are to be considered as the practical form for high solids loading pretreatment operation; the comminution reactors and the extruder reactors are difficult to be used a...
