Kinetic characterization of the deproteinization of trabecular and cortical bovine femur bones.

The present study proposes an interpretation of the mechanism of bone deproteinization. Cortical and trabecular bovine femur bones were deproteinized using 6% NaOCl (37, 50, 60°C). The kinetic parameters (rate constant and activation energy) were calculated, and the surface area of each type of bone was considered.

Nitrate and phosphate removal by chitosan immobilized Scenedesmus.

The effect of chitosan immobilization of Scenedesmus spp. cells on its viability, growth and nitrate and phosphate uptake was investigated. Scenedesmus sp.
