Effectiveness of Dye Rb5 Adsorption onto Chitin and Chitosan under Static and Dynamic Conditions
Analyses were carried out for adsorption of a reactive dye RB5 onto chitin and chitosan under static and dynamic conditions in an air-lift reactor. Assays were conducted for the effect of the type of sorbent and its content in the reactor on adsorption capacity of sorbents examined. The sorbent’s concentration under static conditions and in the reactor reached 5 mg d.m./dm3. In all experimental...
متن کاملChitinase Chi1 from Myceliophthora thermophila C1, a Thermostable Enzyme for Chitin and Chitosan Depolymerization
A thermostable Chitinase Chi1 from Myceliophthora thermophila C1 was homologously produced and characterized. Chitinase Chi1 shows high thermostability at 40 °C (>140 h 90% activity), 50 °C (>168 h 90% activity), and 55 °C (half-life 48 h). Chitinase Chi1 has broad substrate specificity and converts chitin, chitosan, modified chitosan, and chitin oligosaccharides. The activity of Chitinase Chi1...
متن کاملChitin and Chitosan: Structure, Properties and Applications
Chitin and chitosan are the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide that are non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible. They have become of great interest not only as an underutilized resource, but also as a new functional material of high potential in various fields. They are biopolymers having immense structural possibilities for chemical and mechanical modifications to generate novel pro...
متن کاملSpeciation of Molybdates under Hydrothermal Conditions
In situ Raman spectroscopy was applied to investigate the speciation of molybdates under hydrothermal conditions in 0.2 M aqueous solution in the temperature range between 20°C and 200°C and at pH values between 7 and 1. The nature and abundance of molecular and supra-molecular species differs significantly compared to the distribution of species under ambient conditions at the same pH. Whereas...
متن کاملFunctional Characterization of Chitin and Chitosan
Chitin and its deacetylated derivative chitosan are natural polymers composed of randomly distributed -(1-4)linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit). Chitin is insoluble in aqueous media while chitosan is soluble in acidic conditions due to the free protonable amino groups present in the D-glucosamine units. Due to their natural origin, both chitin a...
