Sentence examples for degradable compounds from inspiring English sources

Sludge and biogas are produced from the following degradable compounds (where the assumed degradation factors are given in parentheses): sugars, proteins, lipids, acetic acid (1.00) and extractives (0.25).

Half-lives ranged from about 3 days for easily degradable compounds to about 60 days for higher molecular weight aromatics.

It was revealed that the catalytically degradable compounds formed bidentate chelating or bridging complexes with surface copper sites of the catalyst, i.e., the active sites.

Analysis of specific carbon source guilds highlighted increased utilization of polymers and carbohydrates in the early stages of all systems, pointing to the establishment of microbial communities optimized to best utilize more easily degradable compounds close to the inlet.

The availability of easy degradable compounds in the rhizosphere should foster the mineralization of the organic matter with a consequent increase of available P. Hence, we speculate that at high altitude the energy supplied by the plants through rhizodeposition to the rhizosphere heterotrophic microbial community is key for fuelling the rhizospheric processes and, in particular, P cycling.

With easily degradable compounds being transformed, the fraction of recalcitrant chemicals, such as PAH, will increase within the oil droplets of decreasing size.

The relatively low degradation degree indicates either a higher formation of sludge or a higher concentration of non-degradable compounds than assumed.

The status of OE as a stable, biologically non-degradable compound with the inherent capacity to be enriched in sensitive habitats raises concerns that OE may cause future but as yet unforeseen damage to wildlife in sensitive ecosystems [ 8].

Mikha et al. [15] indicated that after dry soil is watered, dead cells quickly release readily degradable organic compounds, such as amino acids, NH4+ compounds, and glycerol, which may be utilized by live microorganisms, resulting in a pulse of CO2 emission after watering.

It is considered that this lag of otherwise readily degradable organic compounds (such as VFAs) persisted due to a combination of the effects of a high initial concentration of these acids (2.4 g/l as dissolved organic carbon, DOC) applied to carbon starved soil microorganisms and the small pore size of the compacted clay.

As a result of its versatility, this method could become a promising alternative to substitute conventional coloring processes currently used in metal finishing industry, which employ highly toxic and degradable chemical compounds, and expand the use of these photonic films to other sophisticated applications such as UV/NIR protective coatings for aerospace engineering.
