    Abstract: A method of determining the therapeutic effect of an agent, such as a metabolite, comprising: (a) exposing a pathological microbiome to the agent; and (b) comparing the signature of the pathological microbiome following the exposing with a reference signature of a healthy microbiome, wherein when the signature of the microbiome is statistically significantly similar to the healthy microbiome reference signature, it is indicative that the agent has a therapeutic effect on the microbiome. The agent may be provided to a subject having a pathological microbiome once it has been classified as therapeutic.

    Abstract: A method for recovery of platinum group metals from a spent catalyst is described. The method includes crushing the spent catalyst to obtain a catalyst particulate material including particles having a predetermined grain size. The method includes subjecting the catalyst particulate material to a chlorinating treatment in the reaction zone at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time period by putting the catalyst particulate material in contact with the chlorine containing gas. The method also includes applying an electromagnetic field to the chlorine-containing gas in the reaction zone to provide ionization of chlorine; thereby to cause a chemical reaction between platinum group metals and chlorine ions and provide a volatile platinum group metal-containing chloride product in the reaction zone. Following this, the volatile platinum group metal-containing chloride product is cooled to convert the product into solid phase platinum group metal-containing materials.
