Extraction of PM infested biomass with hydrocarbons

I didn’t though. I simply outlined 3 methodologies. And stated that they are bad. So that people don’t think one is better than the other. They all leave spores in/on the biomass…they don’t actually remediate anything.

Except that you didn’t say if anyone tries to remediate by those specific methods you just said if anyone tries to remediate and then you proceeded to give advice how to remediate.

As long as you have it what’s your opinion about my post as far as remediating with copper sulfate? Am I also a shit bag?

Lighten up Francis.

0.22um is a standard exclusion filter size for sterile pharmaceutical filtration.

Intact viruses are typically too large to pass through 0.22um filters.

In pharma we would use this size exclusion gilter when doing final filtration on buffer solutions.

The nominal size of spores was about 3 micron IIRC, so .2 (one magnitude smaller) is a good choice.

Remember, you can’t kill a spore (it isn’t alive) so filtration is the only option.
