双孔块状SiO2载体材料的孔结构及其酶活性的研究

SiO₂ monoliths with double-pore structure were synthesized with tetraethyl orthosilicate, polyethylene glycol, starch, ethanol and ammonia as the main raw materials via a sol-gel route. The effect of different content of starch of the samples was studied on the mesopore structure, macropore appearance, hydrothermal stability and enzyme activity to immobilize gluczyme. The results indicate that porous blocks with mesopores of 10～12 nm and macropores of 10～30 μm can be formed by the removal of polyethylene glycol and starch after heating at 600 ℃. The minimal density of the obtained samples was 0.34 g·cm^-3 and the maximal porosity was 76%. After being immersed in water at 80 ℃ for 7 d, the density, porosity and shape of N₂ adsorption-desorption curves of the samples were almost unchanged, showing that the sample has a good hydrothermal stability. The initial enzyme activity of sample P2KD30 was 11 190 U, and definite enzyme activity could be maintained after five cycles.
