Encapsulating microbes in hydrogels may provide a protective, tunable environment from inhibiting compounds; however, current approaches to formulate successful encapsulated systems rely on trial and error rather than engineering approaches because fundamental information on mass-transfer coefficients is lacking. To address this knowledge gap, hydronium ion mass-transfer rates through two commonly used hydrogel materials, poly(vinyl alcohol) and alginic acid, under two solidification methods (chemical and cryogenic) were measured.</description></item><item><title>Measuring Diffusion of Trichlorethylene Breakdown Products in Polyvinylalginate</title><link>https://millironx.com/academia/pva-aiche/</link><pubDate>Mon, 29 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://millironx.com/academia/pva-aiche/</guid><description>Trichloroethylene (TCE), a toxic and carcinogenic contaminant, presents unique challenges for cleanup because of its water solubility, density, and volatility. Bioremediation of TCE is a promising cleanup method; however, metabolism of TCE results in acid generation that inhibits remediating microorganisms. Calcium alginate(CA)-polyvinylalcohol (PVA) hydrogels show promise for protecting remediating microbes, however diffusion of TCE or its byproducts through these polymers is unknown. To measure the effective diffusion coefficient of TCE and byproducts through hydrogel membranes, we used a modified diaphragm cell.</description></item><item><title>Measuring diffusion of protons in polyvinyalginate</title><link>https://millironx.com/academia/pva-inbre/</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://millironx.com/academia/pva-inbre/</guid><description>Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a toxic and carcinogenic contaminant that presents unique challenges for cleanup because of its density and volatility. Use of microorganisms may be a promising remediation method, however metabolism of TCE results in acid buildup, which consequently impedes the ability of microorganisms to perform this remediation. Polyvinylalginate (PVA) shows promise as a useful shield for microorganisms carrying out bioremediation of TCE by surrounding them in a protective biofilm-like layer, however, key information is missing which relates diffusion of TCE or its metabolic products through PVA.</description></item></channel></rss> |
