Biodegradation of HD and Tetrytol Hydrolysates in a Pilot Scale Immobilized Cell Bioreactor

Manufacturer: Storming Media
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Spiral-bound

Product Description

This is a EDGEWOOD CHEMICAL BIOLOGICAL CENTER ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MD report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A206693. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: To address public concerns over the safe destruction of the U.S. chemical weapon stockpile, the Assembled Chemical Weapons Assessment (ACWA) program identified neutralization followed by biodegradation as having potential for destroying the chemical agent and burster charge fills of chemical agent projectiles. This report describes the pilot scale study conducted by the authors at the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC), APG, MD. This research builds upon the neutralizationBIODEGRADATION PROCESS DEVELOPED AT ECBC and expands that process to include the burster fills found in mustard (HD) agent projectiles. A 1000-gal immobilized cell bioreactor (ICB) system was used to demonstrate the ability of an activated sludge consortium to degrade the chemical constituents of the US Army's 105-mm chemical agent projectile. The study demonstrated the ability of the Water Hydrolysis of Energetic and Agent Technologies (WHEAT) and the ICB to degrade 99.999% of hydrolyzed HD and its schedule-two breakdown products. During the test period, the ICB system processed 16,896 lb of HD hydrolysate and 660 lb of tetrytol hydrolysate. During the system validation, HD hydrolysate and its breakdown products were degraded to below detectable limits in all system effluents. Through a three-step process, 50% of the effluent was recycled into the ICB. Liquid effluents were characterized as non-toxic by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). The ICB, process, and study findings are presented.

Vogel is the man.......2006-11-11

The new Vogel is not as detailed in basic techniques but does manage to cover basic processes in a way seldom seen in modern organic lab guides. I should be on the shelf of every serious organic and biochemist along with the Fieser & Fieser series "Reagents for Organic Chemistry".

The ultimate textbook on practical organic synthesis.......2004-07-27

It has the most trustworthy procedures for the synthesis of organic compounds with the underlying philosophy behind the reactions complete with the mechanism. Even briefly described procedures are easy to follow. An example in point is the Swern's oxidation. It also includes characterization of compounds using both chemical and spectroscopic methods thus covering the whole spectrum of practical organic chemistry. Almost all the other information to be required by an organic synthetic chemist in the laboratory is also included. I do not know of any other single book that can rival the Vogel. I, however, would very much like to see a moderately priced new edition.

good text, forbidding price.......2002-10-08

The book is very good for reference, yet it is too expensive for graduate students. I would also suggest taking $$$off, relative to March's and C&S's good text, this one is really forbidding.

The Bible for Organic Laboratory.......2000-09-13

I took an undergraduate course on advanced organic laboratory method and Vogel was meant to be an incredible reference and life-saver. The overwhelming size of the book might seem somewhat frightening yet the useful information is worth the size and money.

Pavia's "Introduction to Organic Laboratory Techniques" might seem to be a water-down version of Vogel. Vogel is extremely well-written and detailed in laboratory tecniques such as chromatography, distillation, HPLC, crystallization, extraction, etc. A chapter is also devoted to discussion of solvents and reagents, which helps tremendously for separation experiments.

Vogel also discusses aliphatic, heterocyclic, and aromatic compounds and introduces spectroscopic methods. Vogel is recommended for advanced lab course that requires frequent modification of lab procedures and reference for chemists.

Time for a new edition.......2000-09-05

This book is really good but it's time for a new edition ! Compared to another excellent book (Jerry March) it is also too expensive. I would give 5 stars to a new and cheaper edition.

Concise overview for the nuclear experimentalist.......2000-08-23

Leo's book is a good, concise and concerning standard methods especially in nuclear spectroscopy up-to-date summary of the field. The basic physics ideas are introduced, although not too deeply discussed (but this is a book for the experimentalist, therefore no objections). It is a helpful companion in simple experimental considerations which come to an experimental nuclear spectroscopist every day: The color codes of resistors and the overview over the connectors in a CAMAC crate are examples for these features.

Elaborate references are given for each section that make it possible for the reader to find additional descriptions rather easily. Additional insight on dosimetry and radiation damage and some remarks on statistics make this book an interesting alternative to G.F. Knoll's "Radiation detection and measurement".

The emphasis of Leo's approach is surely (a) on a concise overview rather than an in-depth discussion and (b) on nuclear spectroscopy (gamma and particle detection at some MeV or so) rather than medium and large-scale high-energy physics experiments. Widely used components of high-energy physics equipment are, however, presented, but additional literature might be needed.

One final remark to my fellow reviewer Fabio: One example for a "statistical process" is e.g. the number of electron-hole pairs created in the detection of a charged particle or gamma ray. This process is truely statistical, i.e. it does not depend on things that the experimentator has at hand. The intrinsic resolution of a high-purity Germanium detector with respect to a, say, 3 MeV gamma ray cannot be changed (at least to a large extent). Have a look into Leo's book if you don't believe me!

Quite deep overview, but statistics..........1998-11-27

It's a good book: very good English, it treats quite everything from the point of view of CAUSES! It's full of precise references (good for the thesis!).

Expecially good topics: ionization and scintillation detectors; photomultipliers. Lacks: calorimetres and Cerenkov counters! For these topics I suggest: 'Particle Detectors' (many auth.), Cambridge University Press.

Just one thing about statistics: you have always to substitute this sentence:

''... because of the statistical nature of the process...''

with

''...because of the uncertainties related to the process, we choose to treat it as statistical...'' OK, it's a bit longer; but are you sure that all advanced physicians know that Caos does not exist as a real entity? It's just a choice of the experimenter to supply lacks in understanding and measuring the process or to simplify it. If you don't believe so, I ask you: why do you make research? Let's talk about it.
