Ethanol fermentation

3.3.9. Encapsulation efficiency of drug loaded NPs The encapsulation efficiency (EE) was determined by weighing the amount of unloaded drug recovered from lyophilization of the supernatant obtained after centrifugation of NPs. The drug encapsulation efficiency was calculated according to the following equation: Encapsulation efficiency (%) = (Winitial/Wfree)/Winitial *100%. Where, Winitial and Wfree are the weight of initial drug and the weight of free drug determined in the supernatant after…

CHAPTER 4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 4.1 Incomplete Carbon Glucose Preparation for sulfonated solid acid catalyst must undergo a process which is called carbonization or pyrolysis. Glucose is natural organic compounds had been used as starting raw material because it is cheap and less toxic. Carbonization is an important step before the sulfonation process because it will form amorphous carbon composed of small carbon sheets [B] and produced sites for sulfonic group to be attached or…

Styrene (St, 99%) and methyl methacrylate (MMA, 99%) were obtained from Aldrich company. These monomers were first dried over calcium hydride, were purified by being passed through a column of basic alumina, and were distilled under reduced pressure. Ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate (EBIB, 98%), copper (I) bromide (CuBr, 99%), copper (I) chloride (CuCl, 99%), and other chemical reagents were procured from Aldrich company and used as received. N-methylbis[2-(dodecylthio)ethyl]amine (SNS) was synthesized…

The substances found on the victims of the crash can be easily identified through simple math. You start by taking the percent values of each element found in the substance and changing it to grams, where one percent equals one gram, so that each element is out of one hundred grams. After finding the grams, you find out the moles of each element by multiplying the gram amounts by the conversion factor, which is 1 mol over the molar mass of the element you are dealing with, 12.01 grams for carbon…

Metin GUMUS et al.,[1]. In this study, hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) kernel oil was tested and studied as an alternative fuel in diesel engines. The hazelnut kernel oil is made to undergo transesterfication process for reducing the viscosity of the oil. The processed hazelnut kernel oil possesses all the properties of biodiesel used in the diesel engine. The suitable transesterification reaction conditions for hazelnut kernel oil are volumetric ratio of the reactants in the ratio 1:5, reaction…

1-pyrenehexanoic acid was used as the 5-carbon linker and fluorescent component of the target molecule "PYRET-5". This molecule was purchased pure along with the sugar Trehalose, the molecule to which the pyrene was to be attached. Other reactants and solvents include HATU, HBTU, N, N-Diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA), sodium azide, Dimethylformamide (DMF), and Diphenyl phosphoryl chloride and were bought pure or used as received. All reactions were run at room temperature (298.15 K) and standard…

Results Unit 800 produces ethylene and acetic acid through the partial oxidation of ethane. Ethylene, the most abundant product from the unit, is partitioned such that half of the product is used as a feed source for Unit 600 and the other half is sold on the market. Ethylene purity must reach at least 99.5% to be sold as reagent grade. The second desired product, acetic acid, is also sold on the market, at 99% purity. Unit 800 consists of a fired heater to preheat the reactants, an…

When facing with challenges, people deal with problems in different ways. It is easy at times to just ignore these difficulties. However in order to really overcome an obstacle, one has to face and deal with it. Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese is the story of Saul Indian Horse, an Ojibway whose life transects the deep valleys of residential schools and substance abuse as well as the highest peak of minor-league hockey. Saul uses hockey as a way of escaping his past traumatic experiences as a…

Introduction In this experiment, isopentyl acetate was prepared by the direct esterification of acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol, which is an equilibrium that results in a shift in favor of the product by using one of the starting materials in excess. An esterification reaction is when an acid is converted into an ester by combining with an alcohol and removing a water molecule. Esters are found in numerous natural products, including fruits, flowers, and spices. Carboxyllic esters contribute…

this experiment is to purify and separate ethanol and water by fractional distillation to achieve the 95% of ethanol and 5% of water; then determine the density of the liquids that were collected. In the experiment, 20 mL of ethanol solution were heated in the distillate flask and maintaining the temperature around 78°C to 82°C until there were 2 mL collected in the receiving flask . The results I observed is that I did not obtain a 95/5 percentage of ethanol and water and my average density of…
