In order to assess their accuracy for the determination of glucose during the enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulosic biomass, four different blood glucose monitors (BGMs), each utilizing a different enzymatic mechanism for the determination of glucose, were utilized in an experimental setup, which compares the efficiency of ionic liquid pretreatment with dilute acid and alkaline pretreatments applied on corncob. Among the tested devices, Optium Xceed was found to be the most accurate device for the determination of glucose where Accu-Chek Active was the least accurate BGM, yielding similar results to those obtained with DNS method. Based on the HPLC results, the % error values for Optium Xceed ranged between 3.9-10.5% for the determination of glucose concentration. Upon enzymatic hydrolysis, ionic liquid and alkaline pretreatments gave similar glucose yields, which were slightly higher than the dilute acid pretreatment, which were 31.9%, 31.0% and 27.8%, respectively, based on untreated corncob.

Optimization of dilute sulfuric acid, aqueous ammonia, and steam explosion as the pretreatments steps for distillers' dried grains with solubles as a potential fermentation feedstock
Iram, Attia; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Demirci, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01)
Distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is the by-product of bioethanol production from starch-rich grains through dry-mill fermentation. In this study, dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis, aqueous ammonia, and steam explosion as the pre-treatment methods were optimized. The central composite response surface methodology (RSM) design was used for optimization of dilute acid pretreatment, aqueous ammonia pretreatment. The steam explosion trials were evaluated. The results show that the dilute acid pretreat...
The inhibitory effects and removal of dieldrin continuous upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors
Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; DEMİRER, GÖKSEL NİYAZİ (Elsevier BV, 2003-09-01)
The inhibitory effects and removal efficiency of dieldrin (DLD) in anaerobic reactors were investigated. Anaerobic toxicity assay (ATA) experiments conducted in batch reactors revealed that 30 mg/l DLD had inhibitory effects on the unacclimated mixed anaerobic cultures. Continuous reactor experiments performed in a lab-scale two-stage upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor system which was fed with ethanol as the sole carbon source, indicated that anaerobic granular cultures could be successfully ac...
An extracellular - Pepstatin insensitive acid protease produced by Thermoplasma volcanium
Kocabıyık, Semra (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01)
In this study, some parameters for the production and caseinolytic activity of an extracellular thermostable acid protease from a thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma volcanium were determined. The highest level of growth and enzyme production were detected at pH 3.0 over an incubation period of 192 h at 60 degrees C. The pH optimum for the acid protease activity was 3.0 and the enzyme was fairly stable over a broad pH range (pH 3.0-8.0). The temperature for maximum activity of the enzyme was 55 degrees ...
Removal of Ni(II) Ions From Aqueous Solutions Using Activated-Carbon Prepared From Olive Stone by ZnCl2 Activation
UĞURLU, MEHMET; KULA, İBRAHİM; KARAOĞLU, MUHAMMET HAMDİ; Arslan, Yasin (Wiley, 2009-12-01)
The aim of this study is to remove Ni (II) ions from aqueous solutions by adsorption. Activated-carbon prepared from olive stone (ACOS) was used as adsorbent. Different particle size and concentration of ZnCl2 were studied to optimize adsorbent surface area. Initial concentration, temperature, time, and pH were selected as parameters. According to the experiments results, the equilibrium time, optimum pH, and adsorbent dosage were found 60 min, pH > 6, and 1.0 g/50 mL, respectively. In addition, raw olive s...
The impact of alkali pretreatment and post-pretreatment conditioning on the surface properties of rice straw affecting cellulose accessibility to cellulases
KARUNA, Nardrapee; ZHANG, LU; WALTON, Jeffrey H.; Couturier, Marie; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Master, Emma R.; MCCARTHY, Michael J.; JEOH, Tina (Elsevier BV, 2014-09-01)
Rice straw was pretreated with sodium hydroxide and subsequently conditioned to reduce the pH to 5-6 by either: (1) extensive water washing or (2) acidification with hydrochloric acid then water washing. Alkali pretreatment improved the enzymatic digestibility of rice straw by increasing the cellulose accessibility to cellulases. However, acidification after pretreatment reversed the gains in cellulose accessibility to cellulases and enzymatic digestibility due to precipitation of solubilized compounds. Sur...
