Incubation of lead(II) (as nitrate or acetate) with marine algae and a S-adenosylmethionine rich yeast produced methyl leads in the culture solution62. Marine macrophyte cultures produced mainly Me3Pb+. Production with the yeast was much less efficient. Concentration levels of methyllead produced in the cultures for the algae were of the order of 10-20 ngdm 3. 

Initially, a complex of nitroalkene (42) with LA (A) is reversibly formed. The efficient concentration of the latter is determined by the reaction conditions and the nature of heterodiene (42) and LA. This complex acts as a Michael substrate and adds alkene (43) to give bipolar adduct B, which undergoes cycliza-tion to give cationic intermediate C. The latter eliminates LA to yield target nitronate (35). In the case of nonconcerted cycloaddition, ionic intermediate B can undergo different isomerization reactions, some of which are considered below. The stereoselectivity of the process depends on the reactive conformation...

For treatment by the ZPU, a waste stream must be in the vapor phase at near-ambient pressure, at a temperature of less than 400°F, and relatively free of particulate matter. Each compound in the waste stream has unique requirements for destruction. Many compounds are destroyed with a low application of energy, while others require a stronger application. The dose required for a specific combination of contaminants must be determined experimentally. Moisture may either enhance or reduce system effectiveness depending on the mixture. Compounds that act as free-radical scavengers or reducing agents may diminish the process efficiency. Concentrations of vapors that produce temperatures above 400°F in the reaction chamber through exothermic reaction must be diluted to keep the temperature below 400°F. 

The concept of immobilizing enzymes and cells on a polymer scaffold has been studied for several decades in one form or another. The work was driven by the need to increase the half-lives of enzymes, which are notoriously short. Part of the problem is that enzymes at efficient concentrations degrade each other. Denaturation and poisoning are similarly detrimental to the life of an enzyme. It was hypothesized that some of these problems could be mitigated by attaching the enzyme to a substrate. Experience has shown this is an effective way to improve the efficiency of what can be very expensive biological catalysts. 

The symbol LC50 means lethal concentration for 50% of a test population. The symbol EC50 means efficiency concentration for mobility suppression of 50% a test population. The symbol IC50 means inhibition concentration for 50% of a population in a test for respiratory suppression. 

Such mass flow may be the primary mechanism by which non-nutritive elements such as these radionuclides are apparently so efficiently concentrated in fruit bodies. However, Gray et al. (1995) demonstrated that even the primordia of basidiocarps forming within mycelia in vitro are strong sinks for caesium. 

In periodically working cyclic installations it is important to use hydride systems with the maximal contents of active hydrogen. Questions of revealing of new hydride materials are extremely important from the point of view of a ratio of the prices and efficiency. Concentration of active hydrogen depends on hysteresis Fh=Pd/Pa, a plateau slope =ln(Pci/Pcz) (Cj-C2). The hydrides most suitable to... 

Since the chemical name trinitrotoluene is rather mysterious to the non-scientific mind, and since it is also much too lengthy for general use in this age of efficiency, concentration and hustle, there have been coined many abbreviations and substitutions of the word. In general these terms are local only, but, by... 

This study emphasizes the measurement procedure of Sr activity in radioactive aqueous waste produced by the nuclear industry. Considering radioecological and radioprotective elements, there is a need for systematic measurements of Sr activity in rejected wastes. The classical methods for this determination are gas flow proportional counting, liquid scintillation counting or Cherenkov counting.These techniques require efficient concentration and purification steps before the measurement of radiostrontium itself.

The composition of the mobile phase also has an influence on the partition coefficients of inorganic substances and the separation efficiency. Concentrations of the mobile-phase constituents should provide partition coefficient values needed for the enrichment or separation of components under investigation. If a step-elution mode is used, partition coefficients higher than 10 and less than 0.1 are favorable for the enrichment of components into the stationary phase and their recovery into the mobile phase, respectively. Chemical kinetics factors may also play an important role in the separation of inorganic species by CCC [9]. It has been shown that the values of mass-transfer coefficients determine the... 

Diffuse boundary Part of a band profile along which the concentrations migrate at a velocity close to the velocity which is associated with them in the ideal model (the difference decreases with increasing column efficiency). Concentrations change slowly as a function of time or distance along diffuse bormdaries. The associated velocity (Eq. 7.3) is a fimction only of this concentration and of the isotherm equation, and is proportional to the mobile phase velocity. The other part of the profile, where concentration changes rapidly, is a shock layer. 

With the increasing fuel prices, it becomes more and more important to find energy efficient concentration methods for industrial effluents. Hyperfiltration (HF).also called reverse osmosis is in several cases the most favorable method. 

With low detection limit techniques, the identity, migration levels and accumulation of antioxidants and their degradation products in food, in hquids and in pharmaceutical solutions can be controlled. HPLC or GC-MS offers functional methods together with, e.g., hquid-liquid extraction (LLE). Recently, solid phase extraction (SPE) has been used successfully with lower detection hmits and smaller errors than LLE. SPE is a technique that uses a small amount of solvent and that efficiently concentrates solutions of analytes depending on, e.g., polarity. 

In the present work an attempt has been made to optimize the parameters related to the extraction of antioxidants (with ASE) from Spirulina platensis using only environmentally clean solvents such as water, ethanol and mixtures. Thus, as a first approach, a study about different sample pre-treatments and how these affect both, the extraction yield and the final antioxidant activity has been performed. Moreover, a relationship between the efficient concentration (ECso) and the final composition of the solvent (as a function of the dielectric constant) has been studied and a preliminary characterization of the chemical composition of one of the best antioxidant extract has been done using an optimised CE-DAD method.

Anionic surfactants are efficiently concentrated at reversed-phase (RP) materials consisting of silica gel modified with alkyl groups of different chain lengths or graphitized carbon black (GCB). LAS have been extracted by C2-, C8-, or C18-silica gels, as well as by GCB stationary phases. " ... 

Of all possible variables in the reagent gas mixture, the concentration of sulfur dioxide is the most important. As shown by Fig. 1, the most efficient concentration is about 16 mole%. Both above and below this amount less sodium sulfate forms and more of the sulfur dioxide is converted to sulfur trioxide and escapes in the exit gas stream.
