Activated regeneration

Miscellaneous. Hydrochloric acid is used for the recovery of semiprecious metals from used catalysts, as a catalyst in synthesis, for catalyst regeneration (see Catalysts, regeneration), and for pH control (see Hydrogen-ION activity), regeneration of ion-exchange (qv) resins used in wastewater treatment, electric utiUties, and for neutralization of alkaline products or waste materials. In addition, hydrochloric acid is also utilized in many production processes for organic and inorganic chemicals. 

During regeneration the coke is burned off the catalyst. The techniques employed are fairly sophisticated so as to maintain the platinum and any other active metals ia a well dispersed form and to restore the original catalyst activity. Regeneration usually takes several days.

Livers from toxin-injected mice showed severe congestion whether or not the mice survived the initial critical 2-hour post injection period. Occasionally, a mouse injected with a nominally lethal dose of toxin-LR survived the critical two hours but remained listless until it died several hours or several days later. The reasons for the delayed death are unknown. Such mice developed focal fatty degeneration of the liver and active regeneration of liver cells. 

Carboxypeptidase action at 25° on S-protein removes Val 124 very rapidly with no effect on the RNA activity regenerated with added S-peptide 90). Further digestion removed Ser 123 with an activity drop to 45%, but the peptide-protein binding constant changed very little. More... 

Lipid-free (Na+, K+)-ATPase is incapable of hydrolyzing ATP or p-nitrophenyl phosphate. The precise role of the lipid and the specificity for the lipid have not yet been determined. The addition of lipid to the delipidated enzyme brings about conformational changes, with phosphatase activity regenerated before ATPase activity.51 It seems evident that the lipid will affect the conformation of the enzyme and determine membrane fluidity, which is relevant to conformational change. 

The in vivo lability should be sufficient to permit release of the active moiety at a rate adequate to ensure its therapeutic activity. Regeneration can be either chemical (pH effects) or/and enzymatic. 

KOnig and Gratzel first reported the Pz detection of hiunan erythrocytes [127,128]. The later was an improved version of the sensor. Polyethyl-eneimine was used to immobilise the antibody to the crystal, which was stable for 10 weeks, if stored dry at room temperature or 4°C, without detectable loss in activity. Regeneration of the surface was improved from eight to 12 times without detectable loss in activity. This was done by the addition of a synthetic peptide, which competed for the bound antigen and allowed regeneration of the antibody surface without the use of harsh chemicals. Analysis in blood was carried out. 

A sensor for the detection of human granulocytes was also reported by the authors [47]. Immobilisation was carried out using silane, protein A and polyethyleneimine. Similar results were observed for each method but the later showed better stability. The antigen was measured linearly in blood from 2x10 to 3x10 cells. The antibody-coated surface was stable for 8 weeks without detectable loss in activity. Regeneration was not possible since removal of all the bound cells even under harsh conditions did not occur. 

The authors again used polyethyleneimine to immobihse antibodies for the detection of T-lymphocytes [48] and B-lymphocytes [49]. T-lymphocytes were measured hnearly from 5x10 to 4.5 x 10 cells. The antibody-coated crystals were stable for 10 weeks without detectable loss in activity. Regeneration was not tested. A 10% increase in response was observed when tested in whole blood, due to non-specific binding. B-lyphocytes could be measured linearly from 5 x 10 to 5.6 x 10 cells, in blood and buffer. The antibody-coated crystal was stable for 6 weeks and could be regenerated eight times without detectable loss in activity. 

The effect of polydispersity of primary chains on experimental gel points was also studied by using activators regenerated by electron transfer (ARGET) ° ATRP for the copolymerization of MA and EGDA. Decreasing the copper concentration from tens of ppm to a few ppm increased the polydispersity of primary chains from M /Mn = 1.1 to 2.0, which accelerated the experimental gel point during the copolymerization of monomer and crosslinker. 

The activation-regeneration study performed with sample c comprises three steps 1) toluene oxidation at 440 °C, 2) toluene flow interruption followed by heating of the reactor bed in air flow up to 490 °C 3) cooling of the reactor bed down to 440 °C followed by toluene oxidation. In figure 3 the temperature profile and the evolution of toluene conversion during these three steps deactivation - regeneration - deactivation, is shown. The comparison...
