Poly(dimer acid-co-alkyl polyamine) particles were activated by using various chemicals such as carbodiimide (CDI), ethylene diamine (EDA), and hexamethylene diamine (HMDA) and studied as support materials for covalent immobilization of alpha-amylase. The activities of the immobilized enzymes on these activated particles were investigated. The highest activity of free enzyme was obtained at pH 7.5 while this value was shifted to pH 6.5 for CDI and EDA activated systems and to pH 8.0 for HMDA activated system. The highest activities of immobilized enzymes were obtained at higher temperature (55 degrees C) than that of the free enzyme (40 degrees C). Kinetic parameters were calculated as 2.51, 3.13, 3.47 and 3.17 g dm(-3) for K-m and 1.67 x 10(-3), 6.16 x 10(-4), 7.34 x 10(-4) and 3.30 x 10(-4) g dM(-3) min(-1) for V-max for the free enzyme, and CDI, EDA and HMDA activated immobilized systems, respectively. Enzyme activities were found to be about 75.0%, 62.5% and 95.0% of the original, for CDI, EDA and HMDA activated systems, respectively, after one month of storage while free enzyme lost its activity completely in 20 days. In repeated batch experiments, after 40 uses in 3 days; 91.3%, 77.6% and 99.1% of the original enzyme activities were retained by CDI, EDA and HMDA activated systems, respectively. Among the systems prepared, HMDA activated poly(dimer acid-co-alkyl polyamine) particles demonstrated the highest stability and efficient reusability for the immobilized alpha-amylase.

Removal of cobalt from zinc sulfate solution by cementation prior to zinc electrowinning
Kayın, Pınar Burcu; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2003)
The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of cobalt from zinc sulfate solution by cementation with the help of conventional and new type of additives that were 4% Sn-zinc alloy powder and 10% Sn-zinc alloy powder, respectively. Synthetic leach solutions containing 150 g/l Zn and 75 mg/l Co were prepared and used in all of the experiments. The parameters researched with the conventional method were the amount of arsenic trioxide and the effect of copper sulfate on cementation of cobalt. While usin...

An ABC type miktoarm star copolymer possessing polystyrene (PS), poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) arms was synthesized by combining Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) and Ring Opening Polymerization (ROP) with two click chemistries, namely thiol-ene and copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). For this purpose, a core 1-(allyloxy)-3-azidopropan-2-ol with allyl and azide functionalities was synthesized in two steps. Then, clickable polymers, polystyrene with thiol ...

Submicrometer-sized, pure calcium hydroxyapatite (HA, (Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2))) and eta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP, Ca-3(PO4)(2)) bioceramic powders, that have been synthesized via chemical precipitation techniques, were used in the preparation of aqueous slurries that contained methyl cellulose to manufacture porous (70%-95% porosity) HA or beta-TCP ceramics. The pore sizes in HA bioceramics of this study were 200-400 mu m, whereas those of beta-TCP bioceramics were 100-300 mu m. The pore morphology and ...

Poly(2,5-di(furan-2-yl)thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazol) polymer was coated over a platinum electrode and new enzyme electrodeswere produced that are not found in the literature. The formation of polymerization was shown by cyclic voltammetry.Kinetic parameters of immobilized polyphenol oxidase enzyme were determined. Vmax and Km were obtained as 0.028 ±0.001 umol min1- electrode1- and 669.68 ± 64.73 mM respectively. The effect of reaction conditions over enzyme activitywere examined. The pH and temperature at which ...
