In sedimentation, l – clear liquid zone, t- thick suspension zone, s- solid zone. With concentration of solids as the y-axis and the time as the x-axis, which curve does the following represent?
Phytase, an enzyme produced by Aspergillus niger can be adsorbed on microcrystalline cellulose powder (MCCP). The adsorption follows a Langmuir isotherm and the maximum concentration of the protein that can be obtained on the adsorbent is 70 mg cm-1. At a concentration of 50 mg L-1 of protein in the solution, the concentration of protein on the adsorbent reaches 35 mg cm-1. It is desired to recover 90% of the protein from 1.5 liter of the cell free culture filtrate containing 220 mg L-1 protein by addition of MCCP to the solution. The concentration of the protein adsorbed on the solid at equilibrium will be:
The critical reasoning question is based on a short argument, a set of statements, or a plan of action. For each question, select the best answer of the choices given. The size of particles is directly linked to their potential for causing health problems. Small particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter cause the greatest problems, as they can get deep into the lungs and some may get into the bloodstream. One being exposed to such particles can affect both the lungs and the heart of a person. But there are particles that are causing environmental effects too, few of which are given below.  Which among the following below options does not talk about the effects of these particles on the environment?
