Non-woven electrostatic media for chromatographic separation of biological particles

The filtration and separation of biological particles has been estimated as 40% of the cost in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Liquid chromatography that is the principal method for separating biological particles uses a permanent phase of ultrafine adsorbent particles such as porous silica or resin spheres with particle sizes down to about 1 micron. Speed and resolution are two competing ...

Rapid Gas Chromatographic Technique for the Determination of HYDROGEN in Reactor & Process Streams and Fuel-Cell Systems

HYDROGEN is the most prevalent Element in the Universe… the “essence of Star Stuff” according to the late, great Carl Sagan. It is the ultimate “clean” fuel, with WATER as the predominant waste product… though care must be taken to minimize its unfortunate tendency to cause explosions. Hydrogen is formed in Nuclear Reactors, from low-efficiency Hydrolysis, in smaller amounts from natural Bio-Mass ...

MAXUM II - Perfect on-line gasoline analysis using the MAXUM II process gas chromatograph – Case Study

Gasoline is a petroleum-derived liquid and primarily used as fuel in combustion engines. The analysis of gasoline for its chemical composition is extremely important as e. g. the concentration of individual hydrocarbons determines the octane number as well as the emission characteristics of gasoline. Therefore, great efforts are made to serve producers of gasoline with an efficient tool for ...

Maxum process gas chromatograph measures and optimizes synthetic rubber production – Case Study

Rubber Rubber is a collective term for macromolecular substances of natural rubber (NR) or synthetic rubber (SR) origin. Natural rubber use dates back to the Mayas but was first recognized as technical material in 1851 by Charles Nelson Goodyear. He presented a new material produced from the milk of rubber trees, which had been treated with sulfur and vulcanized to strengthen the ...
