Chlorination was found (172) to be the most suitable and effective method for decolori2ing and reducing the COD of waste dyebaths containing a2o dyes. These findings have been substantiated for chlorination and biochemical purification (173). A study (174) has been done on the technical and economic feasibiUty of a chlorination dye wastewater reclamation system for treating effluent that is suitable for reuse in dyeing of polyester/cotton blends with disperse and direct dyes. 

Isolation procedures for many biochemicals are based on chromatography. Practically any substance can be selected from a crude mixture and eluted at relatively high purity from a chromatographic column with the right combination of adsorbent, conditions, and eluant. For bench scale or for a small pilot plant, such chromatography has rendered alternate procedures such as electrophoresis nearly obsolete. Unfortunately, as size increases, dispersion in the column ruins resolution. To produce small amounts or up to tens of kilograms per year, chromatography is an excellent choice. When the scale-up problem is solved, these procedures should displace some of the conventional steps in the chemical process industries. 

Surface-active agents and hquids immiscible in water can form tiny dispersed units called reverse micelles. These can extract biochemicals from water or permit complexing or reacting in ways not possible in simple aqueous systems. 

Dispersion forces are ubiquitous and are present in all molecular interactions. They can occur in isolation, but are always present even when other types of interaction dominate. Typically, the interactions between hydrocarbons are exclusively dispersive and, because of them, hexane, at S.T.P., is a liquid boiling at 68.7°C and is not a gas. Dispersive interactions are sometimes referred to as hydrophobic or lyophobic particularly in the fields of biotechnology and biochemistry. These terms appear to have arisen because dispersive substances, e.g., the aliphatic hydrocarbons, do not dissolve readily in water. Biochemical terms for molecular interactions in relation to the physical chemical terms will be discussed later. 

Most studies concerning pyrimidines originate from biochemical questions. Since these systems are dominated by hydrogen-bonding and/or dispersion contributions, methods beyond the Hartree-Fock level are mandatory. The success of quantum chemical studies in this field is impressive and many effects could be explained on the basis of these theoretical investigations. 

Most biochemical reactors operate with dilute reactants so that they are nearly isothermal. This means that the packed-bed model of Section 9.1 is equivalent to piston flow. The axial dispersion model of Section 9.3 can be applied, but the correction to piston flow is usually small and requires a numerical solution if Michaehs-Menten kinetics are assumed. 

Ice scouring of the intertidal zone in arctic waters makes this virtually sterile. This was noted more than 170 years ago by Keilhau (1831)—so that attention was directed to components of the subtidal zone to which little attention had previously been directed, and which was expected to be particularly sensitive to oil spills. Changes in the components of the macrobenthos including infauna, epibenthos, and macroalgae were examined, and attention was also directed to the histopathological and biochemical responses of bivalve molluscs that were affected in different ways by exposure to the dispersed and the undispersed oil.

During fermentation, the enhanced absorption rate of oxygen increases the bulk concentration and, as a consequence, the production rate of cells can be increased as well. To predict this effect, the enhanced transfer rate has to be incorporated into the differential mass balance equations of fermentation processes studied. If you know the mathematical expression of the biochemical reactions and their dependence on oxygen concentration as well as the enhanced absorption rates due to the dispersed organic phase,you can calculate the fermentation exactly after solving the equation system obtained. 

This bifurcation analysis is very valuable for every chemical, biochemical, and biomedical process that involves axial dispersion in a tubular reactor.
