Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Salt on the Lower Critical Solution Temperature of Poly (N-Isopropylacrylamide)
TL;DR: It is suggested that direct interactions between the salt cations and the polymer play a critical role in the shift of LCST and subsequently on protein stability and the results suggest that cations have a much stronger affinity with the polymer, whereas anions bind weakly withthe polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic removal from drinking water by flocculation and microfiltration
TL;DR: Results obtained here show that flocculation prior to microfiltration leads to significant arsenic removal in the permeate, and the addition of small amounts of cationic polymeric flocculants lead to significantly improved permeate fluxes duringmicrofiltration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct capture of influenza A virus from cell culture supernatant with Sartobind anion-exchange membrane adsorbers
B. Kalbfuss,Michael W. Wolff,Liane Geisler,Alexander Tappe,Ranil Wickramasinghe,Volkmar Thom,Udo Reichl,Udo Reichl +7 more
TL;DR: Due to their high productivity, ease of operation and acceptable yields Sartobind Q anion-exchangers can be considered promising candidates for the large-scale purification of cell culture derived influenza virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling sucrose hydrolysis in dilute sulfuric acid solutions at pretreatment conditions for lignocellulosic biomass
TL;DR: Since both sugars may survive dilute acid pretreatment, they could provide an additional carbon source for production of ethanol and other bio-based products.
Journal ArticleDOI
