Waste Management Techniques With A Biological Simili Poem by Gayathri Seetharam

Waste management techniques with a biological simili
-Gayathri B. Seetharam
I had churned out 3M HCl and 2M NaOH as waste in my M.Eng thesis lab duration
It occurs to me that one can neutralize the acid with base and the base with acid
And thus it is the way of society to have a woman and a man
Find love and marriage and afterwards, neutralize the everyday effect of their lives
With a child(ren):

I am jesting when I say that the effects of an acid could be also done
By the usage of a condom
For otherwise, one could have a baby or contract AIDS
And all this keeps the social order in check or in good working condition;

I had generated concentrated phenol as waste in my M.A.Sc lab -ayear and a half duration
And it occurs to me now that I should have allowed all of this to react
With the enzyme, tyrosinase,
And this would have allowed it to degrade into a non-toxic form to the environment or humans;

However, I needed the analysis and calculations I made during the writing of my thesis
To figure out that I had very good conversion
Comparable to that reported by other researchers
And since the reaction system is plagued by product inhibition
In retrospect, I should have also measured the product concentration;

And I did do this inadvertently, for one experiment, I had thought
But it all fits in now and that is that the wavelength for both phenol and o-benzoquinone
Are very close and I must have made an error in the HPLC analysis
And hence, measured the concentration of the product;

In the case of the latter, the anomaly in the results
I have very good product conversion
But on this day when waste management techniques are required
It is best that the reaction be made to occur
And the resulting product be diluted by 1000 ppm and drained.
