Block B shows the electrolytic copper recovery cell, which recovers metallic copper and regenerates sulfuric acid from the metal salts in the hot sulfuric acid pickle solution. It was originally felt that trace metals (zinc, tin, lead) would interfere with the recovery of pure copper. By controlling current density at 50 to 100 A/m 1 2 3, however, pure copper can be recovered while maintaining the copper concentration in the pickle bath at 15 g/L. 

Product Recovery. Comparison of the electrochemical cell to a chemical reactor shows the electrochemical cell to have two general features that impact product recovery. Cell product is usually liquid, can be aqueous, and is likely to contain electrolyte. In addition, there is a second product from the counter electrode, even if this is only a gas. Electrolyte conservation and purity are usual requirements. Because product separation from the starting material may be difficult, use of reaction to completion is desirable cells would be run batch or plug flow. The water balance over the whole flow sheet needs to be considered, especially for divided cells where membranes transport a number of moles of water per Faraday. At the inception of a proposed electroorganic process, the product recovery and refining should be included in the evaluation to determine true viability. Thus early cell work needs to be carried out with the preferred electrolyte/solvent and conversion. The economic aspects of product recovery strategies have been discussed (89). Some process flow sheets are also available (61).

In the case of iilterpress cells, it was mentioned in Chapter 2 that the most common, practical method of enhancing mass transport is the use of plastic-mesh turbul cei nonioters. It is rarely convenient to use such devices in metal-recovery cells due to the problems of the mesh being incorporated into the deposit or else promoting non-uniform deposits. One possibility is to utilize a porous electrode, such as a packed bed or a metal mesh or foam in these cases, the electrode itself acts as a turbulence promoter (in addition to providing a high electrode area per unit volume). 

An electronics plant installed an electrolytic metal recovery cell to recover copper from waste generated in the production of telephone switching equipment. The process produces a better quality copper deposit on the cell s cathode plates, where the copper collects in half-inch-thick sheets. The cell recovers 75 pounds of copper per week, which is sold for 0.50 per pound—a total of about 2,000 per year. The use of the cell also has eliminated 1 drum of sludge per week, saving an additional 4,000 per year.

Figure Bl.7.7. Summary of the other collision based experiments possible with magnetic sector instruments (a) collision-mduced dissociation ionization (CIDI) records the CID mass spectrum of the neutral fragments accompanying imimolecular dissociation (b) charge stripping (CS) of the incident ion beam can be observed (c) charge reversal (CR) requires the ESA polarity to be opposite that of the magnet (d) neutiiralization-reionization (NR) probes the stability of transient neutrals fonned when ions are neutralized by collisions in the first collision cell. Neutrals surviving to be collisionally reionized in the second cell are recorded as recovery ions in the NR mass spectrum.

Protein tertiary structure is also influenced by the environment In water a globu lar protein usually adopts a shape that places its hydrophobic groups toward the interior with Its polar groups on the surface where they are solvated by water molecules About 65% of the mass of most cells is water and the proteins present m cells are said to be m their native state—the tertiary structure m which they express their biological activ ity When the tertiary structure of a protein is disrupted by adding substances that cause the protein chain to unfold the protein becomes denatured and loses most if not all of Its activity Evidence that supports the view that the tertiary structure is dictated by the primary structure includes experiments m which proteins are denatured and allowed to stand whereupon they are observed to spontaneously readopt their native state confer matron with full recovery of biological activity... 

The separation of cells from the culture media or fermentation broth is the first step in a bioproduct recovery sequence. Whereas centrifugation is common for recombinant bacterial cells (see Centrifugal separation), the final removal of CHO cells utilizes sterile-filtration techniques. Safety concerns with respect to contamination of the product with CHO cells were addressed by confirming the absence of cells in the product, and their relative noninfectivity with respect to immune competent rodents injected with a large number of CHO cells. 

Small amounts of propionitrile and bis(cyanoethyl) ether are formed as by-products. The hydrogen ions are formed from water at the anode and pass to the cathode through a membrane. The catholyte that is continuously recirculated in the cell consists of a mixture of acrylonitrile, water, and a tetraalkylammonium salt the anolyte is recirculated aqueous sulfuric acid. A quantity of catholyte is continuously removed for recovery of adiponitrile and unreacted acrylonitrile the latter is fed back to the catholyte with fresh acrylonitrile. Oxygen that is produced at the anodes is vented and water is added to the circulating anolyte to replace the water that is lost through electrolysis. The operating temperature of the cell is ca 50—60°C. Current densities are 0.25-1.5 A/cm (see Electrochemical processing). 

Secondary Lead. The emphasis in technological development for the lead industry in the 1990s is on secondary or recycled lead. Recovery from scrap is an important source for the lead demands of the United States and the test of the world. In the United States, over 70% of the lead requirements are satisfied by recycled lead products. The ratio of secondary to primary lead increases with increasing lead consumption for batteries. WeU-organized collecting channels are requited for a stable future for lead (see BATTERIES, SECONDARY CELLS Recycling NONFERROUS METALS). 

After recovery of L-lysine, the residual dl-(49) is epimerized to a mixture of the DL and meso isomers, and the latter is subjected to the same decarboxylation step. This reaction is a part of a microbial process in which glucose is fermented by a lysine auxotroph of E. coli to meso- which accumulates in the medium. Meso-(49) is quantitatively decarboxylated to L-lysine by cell suspensions oi erobacteraerogenes (93). However, L-lysine and some... 

Other Specialty Chemicals. In fuel-ceU technology, nickel oxide cathodes have been demonstrated for the conversion of synthesis gas and the generation of electricity (199) (see Fuel cells). Nickel salts have been proposed as additions to water-flood tertiary cmde-oil recovery systems (see Petroleum, ENHANCED oil recovery). The salt forms nickel sulfide, which is an oxidation catalyst for H2S, and provides corrosion protection for downweU equipment. Sulfur-containing nickel complexes have been used to limit the oxidative deterioration of solvent-refined mineral oils (200). 

Historical Inhalation Agents. Diethyl ether produces excellent surgical anesthesia, but it is flammable (see Ethers). Chloroform is a nonflammable, sweet smelling, colorless Hquid which provides analgesia at nonanesthetic doses and can provide potent anesthesia at 1% (see Chlorocarbons AND CHLOROHYDROCARBONs). However, a metabohte causes hepatic cell necrosis. Tdlene, a nonflammable colorless Hquid, has a slower onset and recovery and a higher toxicity and chemical reactivity than desirable. Cyclopropane is a colorless gas which has rapid induction (2 —3 min) and recovery characteristics and analgesia is obtained in the range of 3—5% with adequate skeletal muscle relaxation (see Hydrocarbons). The use of cyclopropane has ceased, however, because of its flammabiHty and marked predisposition to cause arrhythmias. 

One component of the age-ielated decline in immune function is decreased production of the lymphokine that promotes the growth of T-ceUs, interleukin 2 (IL-2). Administration of recombinant-derived IL-2, both in vitro and in vivo, appears to restore certain immune functions in aged mice. Recovery of T-regulatory effects on B-ceU differentiation has been reported in human cells from elderly patients treated with IL-1 and/or IL-2 (42). Similar effects have been observed in the presence of the pentapeptide thymopentin [69558-55-0] (Arg Lys Asp Val Tyr), a weU-known IL-2 inducer. Recombinant IL-2 adrninistered to aged mice for three weeks has been shown to correct the T-ceU functional deficiency associated with antigen-specific immunoglobulin production by certain lymphoid tissue (43). 

Clinically, GM-CSF or G-CSF have been used to accelerate recovery after chemotherapy and total body or extended field irradiation, situations that cause neutropenia and decreased platelets, and possibly lead to fatal septic infection or diffuse hemorrhage, respectively. G-CSF and GM-CSF reproducibly decrease the period of granulocytopenia, the number of infectious episodes, and the length of hospitalization in such patients (152), although it is not clear that dose escalation of the cytotoxic agent and increased cure rate can be rehably achieved. One aspect of the effects of G-CSF and GM-CSF is that these agents can activate mature cells to function more efficiently. This may, however, also lead to the production of cytokines, such as TNF- a, that have some toxic side effects. In general, both cytokines are reasonably well tolerated. The side effect profile of G-CSF is more favorable than that of GM-CSF. Medullary bone pain is the only common toxicity. 

The effects of lL-1 ki accelerating recovery of BM hemopoiesis ki mice have been characterized (172). Injection of lL-1 20 h prior to sublethal kradiation promotes an eadier CEU-S/CEU-GM recovery ki the BM and spleen, and markedly affects BM ceUularity and mobilization of progenitor cells (172). Differences have been found between strains and administration protocols, especially with respect to BM CEU-GM numbers.
