Optimization of Biological Sulphate Reduction to Treat Inorganic Wastewaters Process Control and Potential Use of Methane as Electron Donor

Optimization of Biological Sulphate Reduction to Treat Inorganic Wastewaters Process Control and Potential Use of Methane as Electron Donor

This work investigated two different approaches to optimize biological sulphate reduction in order to develop a process control strategy to optimize the input of an electron donor and to study how to increase the feasibility of using a cheap carbon source. Feast/famine regimes applied to design the control strategy were shown to induce the accumulation of storage compounds in the sulphate reducing biomass. This study showed that delays in the response time and a high control gain can be considered as the most critical factors affecting a sulphide control strategy in bioreactors. The delays are caused by the induction of different metabolic pathways in the anaerobic sludge including the accumulation of storage products. On this basis a mathematical model was developed and validated. This can be used to develop optimal control strategies. In order to understand the microbial pathways in the anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to sulphate reduction (AOM-SR) diverse potential electron donors and acceptors were added to in vitro incubations of an AOM-SR enrichment at high pressure. Acetate was formed in the control group probably resulting from the reduction of CO2. These results support the hypothesis that acetate may serve as an intermediate in the AOM-SR process. | Optimization of Biological Sulphate Reduction to Treat Inorganic Wastewaters Process Control and Potential Use of Methane as Electron Donor

Renaissance & Seventeenth - Century Studies

Renaissance & Seventeenth - Century Studies

First published in 1964 Renaissance & Seventeenth - Century Studies contains essays which fall into two groups. The first four are concerned with problems of metaphor and style and treat two important eras in literary history when these problems underwent critical re-examination. St. Augustine marks the classical attempt to take account of biblical poetics while the two essays on the theory of the metaphysical style treat the attempt of seventeenth century critics to comprehend at the theoretical level the expansion of metaphysical possibilities that marked the metaphysical movement. The second group of essays are in general concerned with Machiavelli and Machiavellism and Andrew Marvell. However they are again essentially concerned with the way in which crucial metaphors and idea-images serve as principles for organising experience both in Machiavelli’s own writings and in that of work of Marvell which reflects his influence. The final essay Cromwell as Davidic King weaves together Machiavellian and Augustinian strands as they are manifested in the works of a poet of wit the various light of whose mind responded harmoniously to the different currents of thought and taste these essays discuss. This book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of literature literary history political philosophy and philosophy in general.

How Groups Matter Challenges of Toleration in Pluralistic Societies

How Groups Matter Challenges of Toleration in Pluralistic Societies

When groups feature in political philosophy it is usually in one of three contexts: the redressing of past or current injustices suffered by ethnic or cultural minorities; the nature and scope of group rights; and questions around how institutions are supposed to treat a certain specific identity/cultural/ethnic group. What is missing from these debates is a comprehensive analysis of groups as both agents and objects of social policies. While this has been subject to much scrutiny by sociologists and social psychologists it has received less attention from a normative and philosophical point of view. This volume asks: what problems are posed to political philosophy by a collection of individuals who act or are treated in a collective way? Focusing not only on ways in which institutions should treat groups but also on the normative implications of considering groups as possible social agents when acting either in vertical relations with the state or in horizontal relations with other groups (or individuals) this book explores these issues from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Contributors address both the nature of political and social philosophy itself and the ways in which specific issues – affirmative action race religion and places of worship the rights of states – have become political and social priorities. | How Groups Matter Challenges of Toleration in Pluralistic Societies
