PH as a function of time

Construct a graph of pH as a function of time, and suggest an appropriate sampling frequency for a long-term monitoring program. 

For each run, calculate and plot the cell biomass concentration, glucose concentration, ethanol concentration, and pH as a function of time. Identify the major phases in batch fermentation lag, exponential, stationary and death. 

In order to explain the results shown in Fig. 2., the solution pH as a function of time was measured by a pH meter, and the results are displayed in Fig. 3. As can be seen from the data in the figure, when the initial solution pH is over 3.0, as reaction time increases, the solution pH decreases very fast to around 3.5 within 10 minutes, then reaches a lowest value of around 3.2 at 60 minutes, followed by a slight increase. What causes this interesting phenomenon We believed that the rapid decrease in solution pH is due to the fact that acidic intermediates are formed during the mineralization of 0.2 mM Indigo Carmine. Because of its complicated molecular structure, theoretically, it caimot be oxidized completely into CO2 and H2O in one step.

This aromatic alcohol has been an effective preservative and still is used in several ophthalmic products. Over the years it has proved to be a relatively safe preservative for ophthalmic products [138] and has produced minimal effects in various tests [99,136,139]. In addition to its relatively slower rate of activity, it imposes a number of limitations on the formulation and packaging. It possesses adequate stability when stored at room temperature in an acidic solution, usually about pH 5 or below. If autoclaved for 20-30 minutes at a pH of 5, it will decompose about 30%. The hydrolytic decomposition of chlorobutanol produces hydrochloric acid (HC1), resulting in a decreasing pH as a function of time. As a result, the hydrolysis rate also decreases. Chlorobutanol is generally used at a concentration of 0.5%. Its maximum water solubility is only about 0.7% at room temperature, which may be lowered by active or excipients, and is slow to dissolve. Heat can be used to increase dissolution rate but will also cause some decomposition and loss from sublimation. Concentrations as low as 0.125% have shown antimicrobial activity under the proper conditions. 

If there is a change in pH of the medium due to reaction and this change corresponds to the change in concentration of the reactant species (e.g. H+), the measurement of pH as a function of time can also be used to follow the progress of the reaction.

Interaction with the support is a prerequisite to achieve the desired dense and uniform coverage of the surface of the support with the precursor of the active component. Precipitation from a homogeneous solution without interaction with the support leads usually to relatively large precipitated crystallites. The interaction with the support can be easily assessed by measuring the pH as a function of time or of the amount of alkali injected both with and without a suspended support. If there is a significant interaction with the support. the level of the pH remains with a suspended support considerably below that of the pH measured without a suspended support. Without a support, the concentration of the supersolubility curve is often apparent from the pH curve passing through a maximum.

The simulation results presented show clearly the dependence of the ISFET response on the concentration of protein immobilized in a membrane on top of the device. Since the number and type of proton dissociating groups determine the protein buffer capacity (dc rM/ dp ), and since the ISFET response directly reflects the change in pH as a function of time, in principle the shape of an ISFET response also contains information on the type of protein that is immobilized. 

The measured pH as a function of time results in a titration curve, of which the time /cn(j needed to reach the end point of this titration is related to the type and concentration of protein immobilized in the membrane, since the pH change in the membrane is retarded by the buffer action of the immobilized protein [16].
