Dialysis and adsorption units are commonly used in liver support devices for the removal of albumin-bound toxins such as bilirubin In Chapter 15, an engineering approach to the analysis of a liver support device implementing these units is presented Starting from the physico-chemical description of the basic phenomena involved in the detoxification process, a mathematical model of a recirculating albumin... sludge reduction and particularly on addressing the mechanisms behind it Meanwhile, potential interactions and genetic behaviors of microbes under uncoupled growth conditions, and some advanced microbiological tools are also discussed A large amount of raw material is processed with the demand of fishery products Membrane technology and bioprocessing have increasingly involved in the fishery industry, particularly... rejuvenation occurred in both configurations shortly after main influencing factors were reset to right values: PAO was rejuvenated by adjusting SRT and HRT to 15d and 9h respectively for the parallel AN/AO process; by controlling DOC at the beginning of anoxic stages and NO3 N concentration at the beginning of anaerobic stages lower than 3 mgL-1 and 2.3 mgL1 respectively could rejuvenate PAO in anaerobic-anoxic... in the areas of solid phase extraction, catalysis, medicine, clinical analysis, drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and sensors In Chapter 4, the authors discuss the challenges associated with the imprinting of peptides and proteins, and provide an overview of the significant progress achieved within this field This review offers a comparative analysis of different approaches developed, focusing... thermal and peroxidase-catalyzed gelation process are also described In addition, we introduce the production of cell-enclosing hydrogel fibers using the same device developed for the production of cell-enclosing microcapsules Wastewater treatment systems must be operated under hydrodynamic conditions that allow maintaining the biomass in suspension and promoting intimate contact between substrates and .
