Amongst the lipases, the pig pancreatic lipase (PPL), the yeast lipase from Candida cylindracea (rugosa) (CCL), and the bacteria lipases from Pseudomonas fluorescens (cepecia) (PEL) and other unclassified Pseudomonas species (PSL) have been most widely used. The experimental methods are very straightforward and little different in their execution from conventional chemical reactions. Hydrolysis reactions are conducted on the soluble lipase in buffered aqueous solutions, commonly in the presence of an organic cosolvent. In organic media the enzyme is added as a powder or in an immobilized form and the resulting suspension stirred or (better) shaken at approximately 40 °C. The enzyme is removed by filtration. 

Vmax (Gaillard, 1984) is calculated using the same formnla as that used for flat-sheet filtration (Section 11.7.2), althongh the experimental method is different. The volnme thronghpnt of the membrane at a pressure of 1 bar is noted after 2 and 5 mn. The formula (Section 11.2.3) is the following ... 

Several experimental methods can be applied to study adsorption and conformation of polymers at interfaces. The amount of polymer adsorbed, F, can be directly determined by equilibrating a known amount of the disperse phase (particles or droplets) with a polymer solution of known concentration, Cj. When the system reaches equilibrium (that may take hours or even days with high-molecular weight polymers), the disperse phase is separated (by filtration or centrifugation), and the equilibrium concentration of the polymer, C, is determined using a suitable analytical method. From Cj and C2 and the amount of disperse phase m and its surface area A (m /g, which may be obtained from a knowledge of the particle size distribution), F can be calculated, that is. 

Sang et al. [94] used nanoflbrous membrane prepared from chloridized PVC by high-voltage electrospinning for the removal of divalent metal cations (Cu2+, Cd +, and Pb +) from the simulated groundwater. To obtain the best heavy metal removal, several experimental methods were investigated, including static adsorption, direct filtration, soil-addition filtration, diatomic-addition flltration, and micellar-enhanced...

In electro-gravimetric analysis the element to be determined is deposited electroly tically upon a suitable electrode. Filtration is not required, and provided the experimental conditions are carefully controlled, the co-deposition of two metals can often be avoided. Although this procedure has to a large extent been superseded by potentiometric methods based upon the use of ion-selective electrodes (see Chapter 15), the method, when applicable has many advantages. The theory of the process is briefly discussed below in order to understand how and when it may be applied for a more detailed treatment see Refs 1-9. 

The palladium-tin catalysts were prepared by Engelhard on a commercial wood based carbon powder with a BET snrface area of approximately 800 m /g and a median particle size (D50) of 19 microns. The preferred carbon was chosen mainly for having good filtration properties. Catalysts with essentially equivalent activities for selectivity and conversion could also be made on two other similar carbons. The preparation process is proprietary but is based on the well-known adsorption-deposition technique (8). Reduction during the preparation process was accomplished via an Engelhard proprietary method. A series of catalysts containing from 1 to 7.5 wt% palladium and from 0 to 1 wt% tin were prepared by the same technique and provided for the experimental program. 

Methods based on the experimental production of the dense pigment packing typical of CPVC, e.g., by means of oil absorption, filtration, vacuum filtration, or by measuring the volume of the supercritical film... 

Syntheses of Bisphenol-A Carbonate Oligomers in Aqueous Caustic. Oligomers made by the aqueous caustic method were made in an apparatus identical with that used in the interfacial method experimental conditions were similar. Methylene chloride, though, was not added to the reaction mixture. The product precipitated on formation and was isolated by filtration. 

On the basis of the foregoing experimental work, the following method was developed for the determination of gibberellic acid in solid samples and broth filtrates. 

Absolute Viscosimetric Method for the Determination of Endocellulase Activities. Experimental Setup of the Viscosimetric Measurements. The substrate, buffer, and enzyme solutions are prepared in the same manner as described in the section on light scattering. However, no clarification of the substrate solution by pressure filtration is needed. 

The use of a filter determined by Eq. (3.15) allows the true form of the signal to be restored (Fig. 3.8, curve 1). In this case, both the magnitudes of the quantities measured and the qualitative shape of the experimental curve change. The use of this filtration method has enabled us to broaden the frequency range of the instrument by about an order of magnitude and to reduce the effective time constant of the calorimeter from 4 min to 30 sec. 

After a brief introduction on terminology, this overview summarizes the experimental and theoretical modelling methods applied in trace metal speciation studies, emphasizing the dissolved fraction as defined by 0.95 pm filtration. The experimental approach comprises interactions with organic - and inorganic ligands, speciation schemes, biological experiments and interactions with particles and colloids.
