Affinity foam fractionation of Trichoderma cellulase

Cellulase could not be selectively collected from fermentation broth by simple foam fractionation, because of the presence of other more surface-active compounds. A new approach of affinity foam fractionation was investigated for improvement. A hardwood hydrolysate (containing cellulose oligomers, substrates to cellulase) and two substrate analogs, i.e., carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and xylan hydrolysate, were added before the foaming process. The substrates and substrate analogs were indeed found to bind the cellulase selectively and form more hydrophobic complexes that partition more readily onto bubble surfaces. In this study, the effects of the type and concentration of substrate/analog as well as the presence of cells at different growth stages were examined. The foam fractionation properties evaluated included foaming speed, foam stability, foamate volume, and enrichment of filter paper unit (FPU) and individual cellulase components (i.e., endoglucanases, exoglucanases, and β-glucosidases). Depending on the broth and substrate/analog employed, the foamate FPU could be more than fourfold higher than the starting broth FPU. Addition of substrate/analog also deterred the enrichment of other extracellular proteins, resulting in the desired cellulase purification in the foamate. The value of E/P (enzyme activity-FPU/g/L of proteins) in the foamate reached as high as 18, from a lactose-based fermentation broth with original E/P of 5.6. Among cellulase components, exoglucanases were enriched the most and β-glucosidases the least. The study with CMC of different molecular weights (MW) and degrees of substitution (DS) indicated that the CMC with low DS and high MW performed better in cellulase foam fractionation.     

The effect of ph and gas composition on the bubble fractionation of proteins

Studies were conducted to establish the effect of the variation of environmental factors on the separation occurring in protein systems, resulting from bubble fractionation in a bioreactor. The measure of separation was selected to be the separation ratio. This is defined to be the ratio of either the top or the middle position concentration in the vessel to the bottom concentration of the vessel. Invertase and α-amylase were the two “model” enzymes considered. It was observed that, under certain conditions, i.e., a combination of the nature of the sparging gas and the medium pH, varying degrees of protein separation were achieved. The pH of the system dramatically influenced the separation. It was found that the best separation occurred at a certain pH, assumed to be at or close to thepI of the protein in question. Furthermore, it was observed that systems sparged with CO₂ exhibited greater separation than systems sparged with air. In fact, in the case of invertase, almost threefold separation was observed at the top port when the solution was sparged with CO₂.

建立了一种高效液相色谱-串联质谱(HPLC-MS/MS)测定泡沫灭火材料、洗涤剂以及织物整理剂中全氟辛烷磺酸及其盐(PFOS)的方法。对应产品中的PFOS用水超声提取后,经固相萃取柱淋洗萃取,萃取液以乙腈-10 mmol/L乙酸铵溶液(80:20, v/v)为流动相进行HPLC分离,在负离子模式和多级反应监测(MRM)方式下进行测定。用两个子离子的相对丰度定性,外标法定量。PFOS的测定在0.002~0.1 mg/L范围内线性关系良好(r2=0.998);泡沫灭火材料、洗涤剂以及织物整理剂中PFOS的加标回收率分别为93.4%～103%, 93.2%～102%和91.8%～102%,精密度(以相对标准偏差(RSD)计)分别为0.48%～3.52%, 0.78%～1.79%和0.47%～3.47%;方法的检出限均为2 mg/kg(0.0002%)(信噪比（S/N）≥10),满足欧盟法规对泡沫灭火材料、洗涤剂以及织物整理剂中PFOS的限量检测要求。该方法准确度和灵敏度高,前处理简单,可用于泡沫灭火材料、洗涤剂以及织物整理剂中PFOS的检测。     

高温煤焦油的超临界萃取分馏研究

采用正戊烷溶剂,在超临界状态下,于220℃和5MPa~15MPa循序升压条件下,将高温煤焦油萃取分馏为10个液相窄馏分和1个固相沥青产物;切割深度达78.36%,萃余沥青收率为21.64%,明显低于常规蒸馏沥青收率。研究发现,所用高温煤焦油的初馏分萃取收率最高,随着萃取压力的增加,较低压力段一次萃取液相馏分的收率迅速减少;压力达到10 MPa,液相馏分总收率趋于峰值。元素分析和色质联用分析数据表明,随着萃取压力的增加,一次萃取获得窄馏分的碳氢原子比逐渐增加,平均环数和相对分子质量均逐渐增大,萃取馏分逐渐变重。

Molecularly engineered graphene surfaces for sensing applications: A review

Graphene is scientifically and commercially important because of its unique molecular structure which is monoatomic in thickness, rigorously two-dimensional and highly conjugated. Consequently, graphene exhibits exceptional electrical, optical, thermal and mechanical properties. Herein, we critically discuss the surface modification of graphene, the specific advantages that graphene-based materials can provide over other materials in sensor research and their related chemical and electrochemical properties. Furthermore, we describe the latest developments in the use of these materials for sensing technology, including chemical sensors and biosensors and their applications in security, environmental safety and diseases detection and diagnosis.     

基于相对即时密度的泡沫铝材料力学性能研究

通过对圆柱形泡沫铝试件进行静态压缩和冲击实验，考察了泡沫铝的初始密度、孔径和尺寸等因素对材料应力应变关系的影响，研究了基于相对即时密度的泡沫铝材料的塑性行为。实验所用泡沫铝试件包含四种尺寸，三种孔径及多种初始密度。实验结果表明，初始密度对泡沫铝的应力应变关系有着显著的影响，而其他因素，如孔径、试件尺寸等的影响较小。基于实验结果，提出了一种新的泡沫铝材料力学性能的描述方法，即用材料的相对即时密度与应力的关系来描述泡沫铝材料的塑性行为。该关系适用于静态和动态加载情况，只是两种情况下的参数不同。基于该方法，发现泡沫铝的塑性行为可以用单一的应力一相对即时密度关系描述，这一关系甚至不依赖于材料的初始密度，这将使泡沫铝材料塑性行为的描述大大简化。
