Polyanionic cellulose polymer is used as an additive in drilling mud in order to decrease water loss and mudcake- thickness. In this study effect of bulk and nanosize polyanionic cellulose on water loss and mud-cakethickness in mud drilling is investigated. Polyanionic cellulose nanoparticles are made by using of ball milling. Size of nanoparticles is measured by Particle size analyzer. Polyani...

Kinetics and the mechanism of total in vitro hydrolyses (i.e. up to the exhaustion of substrate) of acetylcholine and acetylthiocholine by acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase were studied in vitro in a batch reactor at 25 degrees C, pH 8 and ionic strength of 0.11 M. Every hydrolysis was monitored by 2-3 independent analytical methods. All studied types of enzymatic hydrolyses fulfil...

8 9 A comparison was made between the composition of the recalcitrant organic matter (ROM) 10 isolated from a sandy forest soil as revealed by microwave assisted extractions and/or 11 hydrolyses and by usual pyrolysis techniques. Successive microwave irradiation treatments 12 were performed in H2O, 0.1 and 1 M HCl and 0.1 and 1 M KOH. At each step of the 13 treatment the insoluble residue was e...

Hydrolyses of beta-cyclodextrin cinnamate (betaCDC) and alpha-cyclodextrin cinnamate were catalyzed by amines such as 1,4-diazabicyclo(2.2.2)octane, triethylamine, quinuclidine, piperidine, diisobutylamine, and n-butylamine. The rate constant of hydrolyses of the betaCDC-amine complexes follows the order: 1,4-diazabicyclo(2.2.2)octane > n-butylamine > quinuclidine > piperidine > triethylamine >...

a pancreatopeptidase (elastase) digest index was devised for a rapid and accurate estimation of protein quality. this index was calculated on the basis of all the amino acids released by an in-vitro elastase digestion, acid hydrolyses of same sample and the residue of enzyme hydrolyzed. the amino acids were determined by thin-layer chromatography. samples used were cooked white kidneybeans, coo...

A phospholipase C which hydrolyses phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to release inositol trisphosphate was detected in a sedimentable fraction from celery and from some other higher plants. The particulate enzyme also hydrolyses phosphatidylinositol, whereas the soluble phosphatidylinositol phosphodiesterase described previously [Irvine, Letcher & Dawson (1980) Biochem. J. 192, 279-283] act...

Nowadays agricultural wastes represent an alternative source of renewable raw materials. Different processes can be applied to these alternative materials to separate their components and obtain chemical products with high added value, such as bioethanol, organic acids, monomers, and biopolymers. The main objective of this work is to study the extraction of hemicelluloses from corn stalks using...

A direct titration method for the determination of proteolytic activity is discussed. This involves the potentiometric measurement of the volume of 0.08 N NaOH required to maintain a constant pH (8.0) during the time of the hydrolysis. It is a sensitive method which presents several advantages; viz., it measures simultaneously protease and esterase activity, it follows the hydrolysis very close...
