This report presents a cost analysis of Lactic Acid production from glucose syrup using a low pH fermentation process The process examined is similar to Cargill process. In this process, a 70 wt% glucose-water syrup is used as raw material and an 88 wt% lactic acid solution in water is generated as final product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 20060094093, issued to Cargill in 2006 (2) US Patent 7736514, issued to BASF in 2010 Keywords: Dextrose, 2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid, Anaerobic Fermentation, Cell Recycle, Acid Tolerant Bacteria

The book provides easy-to-understand diverse specialized topics in toxicology using self- study questions and answers. The answers are in the form of text along with custom made diagrams and explanations that help the student audience to understand and grasp the matter easily. It is written specifically as a study guide for the toxicology board and other examinations.
The Board Review Series (BRS) is aimed at providing basic knowledge as it relates to clinical situations and is used primarily by medical students studying for the United States Medical Licensing Examinations (USMLE). BRS Behavioral Science, Fifth Edition covers material on this subject that is addressed on USMLE Step 1, written in outline format to provide an efficient method of studying behavioral science for USMLE. The book includes at least 500 USMLE-style questions with accompanying annotated answers. An exam follows each chapter and a Comprehensive Exam is included at the end of the book. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an interactive question bank.
This report presents a cost analysis of Lactic Acid production from glucose syrup using a fermentation process. The process examined is similar to Corbion process. In this process, a 70 wt% glucose-water syrup is used as raw material. The fermentation broth is acidified in order to recover Lactic Acid and the product purification is realized by the use of a solvent. An 88 wt% Lactic Acid solution in water is generated as final product. This report examines one-time costs associated with the construction of a United States-based plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. More specifically, it discusses: * Capital Investment, broken down by: - Total fixed capital required, divided in production unit (ISBL); infrastructure (OSBL) and contingency - Alternative perspective on the total fixed capital, divided in direct costs, indirect costs and contingency - Working capital and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up * Production cost, broken down by: - Manufacturing variable costs (raw materials, utilities) - Manufacturing fixed costs (maintenance costs, operating charges, plant overhead, local taxes and insurance) - Depreciation and corporate overhead costs * Raw materials consumption, products generation and labor requirements * Process block flow diagram and description of industrial site installations (production unit and infrastructure) This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 7867736, issued to Purac (now Corbion) in 2011; (2) US Patent 6747173, issued to Purac (now Corbion) in 2004 Keywords: Dextrose, 2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid, Anaerobic Fermentation, Calcium Carbonate, Sulfuric Acid
This volume is a ready reference on sustainable agriculture and reinforce the understanding for its utilization to develop environmentally sustainable and profitable food production systems.

This report presents a cost analysis of Lactic Acid production from glucose syrup using a fermentation process. The process examined is similar to Cargill process. In this process, a 70 wt% glucose-water syrup is used as raw material. Lactic Acid recovery from the fermentation broth is realized by trialkylamine solvent extraction in the presence of carbon dioxide. The final product is Food Grade Lactic Acid solution containing 88 wt% of Lactic Acid. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 6472559, issued to Cargill in 2002 (2) "Hydrocarboxylic Acids", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition Keywords: Dextrose, 2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid, Anaerobic Fermentation, Trialkyl Amine, Sodium Carbonate
This report presents a cost analysis of Lactic Acid production from glucose syrup using a speculative, continuous, low pH, fermentation process. In this process, a 70 wt% glucose-water syrup is used as raw material. Lactic Acid is recovered from the fermentation broth through microfiltration and nanofiltration steps. An 80 wt% Technical Grade Lactic Acid, with 95 wt% purity is generated as final product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) Pal, P., et al., “Process Intensification in Lactic Acid Production: A Review of Membrane Based Processes” (2) Kwon, S., et al., “High-Rate Continuous Production of Lactic Acid by Lactobacillus rhamnosus in a Two-Stage Membrane Cell-Recycle Bioreactor” Keywords: Dextrose, 2-Hydroxypropanoic Acid, Anaerobic Fermentation, Cell Recycle
Edition after edition, Atkins and de Paula's #1 bestseller remains the most contemporary, most effective full-length textbook for courses covering thermodynamics in the first semester and quantum mechanics in the second semester. Its molecular view of physical chemistry, contemporary applications, student friendly pedagogy, and strong problem-solving emphasis make it particularly well-suited for pre-meds, engineers, physics, and chemistry students. Now organized into briefer, more manageable topics, and featuring additional applications and mathematical guidance, the new edition helps students learn more effectively, while allowing instructors to teach the way they want. Available in Split Volumes For maximum flexibility in your physical chemistry course, this text is now offered as a traditional text or in two volumes: Volume 1: Thermodynamics and Kinetics: 1-4641-2451-5 Volume 2: Quantum Chemistry: 1-4641-2452-3
The past two decades have brought with them remarkable progress in plant chromosomal research. The chromosome structure has been clarified in great detail, enabling identification of gene sequences at the microscopic level, which has aided the analysis of biodiversity. Knowledge of chromosome structure has played a crucial role in the improvement of crop species and has far-reaching implications. The manipulation and engineering of chromosomes involves a panoply of novel methods, combining conventional and modern techniques of biotechnology. A working knowledge of such techniques is essential for today's students and researchers, and the plant system, because of totipotency, requires special treatment. This treatise covers all the latest methods involved in the study of evolution, biodiversity, chromosome manipulation and engineering.
