Interest in pyruvic acid has been growing due to the increase in its potential areas of use and its importance in metabolic reactions. These reasons along with the limitations on recovery have prompted researchers to consider novel recovery techniques. Reactive extraction has been proposed as a promising approach to the recovery of carboxylic acids. In this study, equilibrium and kinetic data were obtained for reactive extraction of pyruvic acid using trioctylamine (TOA) or Alamine 336 in 1-octanol or oleyl alcohol. The results showed that, without pH adjustment in the aqueous phase, and without the use of an extractant, 1-octanol extracted more pyruvic acid than oleyl alcohol with a distribution coefficient (K(D)) of 0.30. This trend remained the same when tertiary amines were used as an extractant. The K(D) values did not significantly differ with TOA or Alamine 336. The recovery of pyruvic acid was observed to increase as a function of TOA concentration and the stoichiometry of the reaction was mainly 1:1. As tertiary amines react only with undissociated acids, an increase in the initial pH of the aqueous phase lowered the KD values. When the pH was 4.0, the effect of TOA concentration on pyruvic acid extraction disappeared and for all concentration levels a distribution coefficient of 0.10 was obtained. Kinetic measurements showed that the reaction between pyruvic acid and TOA in 1-octanol is first order with respect to the two reactants with a rate constant of 0.94 L mol(-1) s(-1). The enhancement factor was calculated as 25.

Preparation and Characterization of Amino-Functionalized Zeolite/SiO2 Materials for Trypsin-Chymotrypsin Co-immobilization Dogan, Demet; Sezer, Selda; Ulu, Ahmet; KÖYTEPE, SÜLEYMAN; ATEŞ, BURHAN (2021-08-01) Inorganic supports have attracted increased attention in enzyme immobilization since they not only improve enzyme stability but also reduce the final cost of enzymatic reactions. Herein, we explored the suitability of the amino-functionalized zeolite/SiO2 materials to co-immobilize trypsin-chymotrypsin mixture. For this purpose, the trypsin-chymotrypsin mixture was co-immobilized on the amino-functionalized zeolite/SiO2 materials and the immobilization yield was 80.7 +/- 7.6%. The pre-support and its modifi...
Photofermentative hydrogen production from volatile fatty acids present in dark fermentation effluents Uyar, Basar; Eroglu, Inci; Yucel, Meral; Gündüz, Ufuk (2009-05-01) In the present study, the growth and hydrogen production of Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U. 001, was investigated in media containing five different volatile fatty acids (VIA) individually (malate, acetate, propionate, butyrate and lactate) and in media containing mixtures of these acids that reflect the composition of dark fermentation effluents. The highest hydrogen production rate was obtained in malate (24 ml(hydrogen)/I(reactor)h) and the highest biomass concentration was obtained in acetate containing me...
Effect of H2O and SO2 on the activity of Pd/TiO2 catalysts in catalytic reduction of NO with methane in the presence of oxygen MITOME, Junko; Karakaş, Gürkan; Bryan, Kimberly A.; Ozkan, Umit S. (1998-06-18) Effect of H2O and SO2 on the NO reduction activity of the Pd/titania catalysts was examined in the NO+CH4+O-2 reaction. Steady-state and transient response experiments were performed using a tubular flow reactor. Isotopically labeled methane, (CH4)-C-13, was used in studying the transient behavior of the catalytic system. Reactor effluents were analyzed by using gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and chemiluminescense techniques. Steady-state reaction experiments showed that the catalyst has a high acti...
Preparation of seven-membered rings by the reaction of cyclopropylcarbene-tungsten and molybdenum complexes with alkynes Herndon, James W.; Zora, Metin; Patel, Paren P.; CHATTERJEE, Gautam; Matasi, Julius J.; Tumer, Seniz U. (1993-01-01) The reaction between alkynes and cyclopropylcarbene-tungsten and molybdenum complexes has been examined. Depending upon the conditions of the reaction, either cycloheptadienones or furanones are obtained. The scope, limitation, and mechanistic rationale for observed selectivities are discussed.
Carbon-to-nitrogen and substrate-to-inoculum ratio adjustments can improve co-digestion performance of microalgal biomass obtained from domestic wastewater treatment Calicioglu, Ozgul; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (Informa UK Limited, 2019-02-23) This study comparatively evaluated the effect of co-substrates on anaerobic digestion (AD) and biochemical methane potential of wastewater-derived microalgal biomass, with an emphasis on carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) and substrate-to-inoculum (S:I) ratios. A semi-continuous photobioreactor was inoculated with Chlorella vulgaris and the nutrient recovery potential was investigated. Derived microalgal slurry was subjected to AD in the absence and presence of co-substrates; model kitchen waste (MKW) and waste activ...
