Access to safe drinking water is a human right, crucial combat inequalities, reduce poverty and allow sustainable development. In many areas of the world, however, this right not guaranteed, in part because lack easily deployable diagnostic tools. Low-cost simple methods test supplies onsite can protect vulnerable communities from impact contaminants water. Ideally such devices would also be easy dispose so as leave no trace, or have detrimental effect on environment. To aim, we here report...
Enzyme-catalyzed production of biodiesel is the object extensive research due to global shortage fossil fuels and increased environmental concerns. Herein we report preparation main characteristics a novel biocatalyst consisting Cross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates (CLEAs) Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) which are covalently bound magnetic nanoparticles, tackle its use for synthesis from non-edible vegetable waste frying oils. For this purpose, insolubilized CALB was cross-linked nanoparticles...
Abstract 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid is a platform chemical for the production of biobased polymers and materials. This study reports synthesis furan oligoesters via polytransesterification dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate linear α, ω-aliphatic diols with chain length ranging from C2 to C12, using immobilized lipase B Candida antarctica (Novozym 435) in dry organic solvents. Dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylic (A) 1,4-butanediol (B) were used as model substrates under different conditions...
Protein isolation from fermentation broth or protein mixtures by using cost-effective, scalable, regenerable resins offers a significant increase in value and productivity; hence, many recombinant proteins contain fused histidine tag to facilitate immobilized metal affinity chromatography purification. A newly developed methacrylic iminodiacetic acid-functionalized resin, capable of attaining ion loadings 0.25 mmol metal/g high toward His-tagged protein, was studied the immobilization...
The aim of the present study is to produce flexible, flame-retardant, water-resistant and biodegradable composite materials. ultimate goal this research develop simple processes for production bio-based materials capable replacing non-degradable substrates in printed circuit board. Cellulose was chosen as a renewable resource, dissolved 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ionic liquid prepare cellulosic continuous film. Since flame retardancy an important criterion electronic device...
Nanobiocatalysis, as the synergistic combination of nanotechnology and biocatalysis, is rapidly emerging a new frontier biotechnology. The use immobilized enzymes in industrial applications often presents advantages over their soluble counterparts, mainly view stability, reusability simpler operational processing. Because singular properties, such biocompatibility, large modifiable surface easy recovery, iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are attractive super-paramagnetic materials...
A novel Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microscopy method was developed and used to analyze the diffusion of lipase CalB in two different resins during immobilization. The consisted a streamlined sample preparation process an automated transmission FT-IR microscopic measurement using commercial benchtop device. immobilization performed on hydrophobic resin containing aromatic groups (ECR1030M based divinylbenzene) hydrophilic ester thus oxygen (ECR8204M methacrylate) revealed that kinetic...
Thin films of cellulose and cellulose–CaSiO3 composites were prepared using 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIMAc) as the dissolution medium regenerated from an anti-solvent. The surface hydrophilicity resultant was lowered by coating them with three different hydrophobizing agents, specifically, trichloro(octadecyl)silane (TOS), ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate (E2CA) octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA), a simple dip-coating technique. materials subjected to flame retardancy, water barrier, thermal,...
