To evaluate the effectiveness in adsorbing organochlorine compounds such as chloroform, dichloromethane, or benzene by lees materials, the determination of spherosomes from different lees materials was established by using a hemacytometer under an optical microscope. Rice bran, wheat bran, rapeseed, linseed, okara, and sakekasu were used for this investigation, and activated carbon was also used as a standard adsorbent material. The number of spherosomes varied from 1.82 x 10(10) particles/g for sakekasu to 4.95 x 10(10) particles/g for wheat bran. There was a high correlation between the removal efficiency in adsorbing organochlorine compounds such as chloroform, dichloromethane, or benzene by lees materials and the number of spherosomes from different lees materials.
Rice bran, wheat bran, rapeseed, linseed, okara, and sakekasu were evaluated for correlations between their effectiveness in adsorbing organochlorine compounds such as chloroform, dichloromethane or benzene and the number of spherosomes. Wheat bran contained the highest concentration of spherosomes, with a mean level of 4.37 × 10 10 spherosomes/g. The lowest was sakekasu, with a mean level of 2.28 × 10 10 spherosomes/ g. There was a high correlation between removal efficiency and the number of spherosomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
