摘要:
A biocatalytic method for preparing para-hydroxystyrene from para-hydroxycinnamic acid is described. The method uses an enzyme source having para-hydroxycinnamic acid decarboxylase activity to catalyze the decarboxylation of para-hydroxycinnamic acid in a biphasic reaction medium to produce para-hydroxystyrene, which is extracted into the organic phase of the biphasic reaction medium. The method results in a high yield of para-hydroxystyrene due to the decreased exposure of the enzyme source to the inhibitory product. The product is readily recovered from the extractant, or may be chemically derivatized directly in the extractant before recovery.

This invention relates to a bioprocess engineering solution for a product removal process for use in a biofermentation. The invention discloses a process for withdrawing an aliquot of broth from a biofermentation vessel during at least a portion of the biofermentation, removing biocatalyst and water, chromatographically separating biofermentation products from the withdrawn broth using water as an eluent, and returning the remaining components of the broth back to the biofermentation vessel. Process chromatography permits highly selective separation of the target molecule, preventing feedback inhibition of the biofermentation.
摘要:
Methods are provided for the production and recovery of multifunctional aromatic compounds from a fermentation medium. Preferred multifunctional aromatic compounds include para-hydroxycinnamic acid (pHCA), cinnamic acid (CA), and para-hydroxystyrene (pHS). The multifunctional aromatic compounds may be produced in a biphasic growth medium comprising a fermentation medium having a specified volume of an extractant. The multifunctional aromatic compounds are extracted into the extractant and recovered by standard means.
摘要:
A process for quickly drying thermoplastic polyamide resin by the use of a high frequency electric field. The process comprises placing the polyamide between at least two electrodes, applying a high frequency voltage to the electrodes to produce a heating rate of the polyamide between 0.5.degree. C. and 50.degree. C./min, and then removing the water evolved from the polyamide.

In a color ink jet printing system, an image superpixel (84, 86, 88) consists of a 2 by 2 array of cells (1-4), each cell corresponding to a pixel area on the substrate (80). Each pixel (55) of graphics data is processed to form a 2 by 2 array of bit image data (40), for printing a corresponding superpixel image (68). A superpixel configuration (86), indicating cell location and color of drops of ink for forming a superpixel image, is defined for each desired image color. Superpixel configurations control printing so that drops of ink (Y,M,C) are deposited only an a diagonally adjacent pair of cells (1,4), with no more than two drops of ink per cell, and no more than three drops of ink per superpixel. This superpixel strategy provides for printed images (62,64) perceivable as having the desired image color and having good color saturation, while minimizing bleed across color field boundaries (66).

In a potentiometric chart recorder, the speed of the chart motor 22 is, in one mode of operation (AUTO) selected by a switch 32, varied between two values in dependence upon the rate of change or slope of the input signal at 10 as detected in a detector 30. The slow speed is obtained by intermittent operation at the fast speed, and during the non-operative periods power-consuming circuitry e.g. 16, 18, 26 is switched off by a switch 40.
摘要:
A method and system for efficiently producing a fermentative product alcohol such as butanol utilizing in situ product extraction are provided. The efficiency is obtained through separating undissolved solids after liquefying a given feedstock to create a feedstock and prior to fermentation, for example, through centrifugation. Removal of the undissolved solids avoids problems associated with having the undissolved solids present during in situ production extraction, and thereby increases the efficiency of the alcohol production.
