Biocatalytic hydroxylation of n-butane with in situ cofactor regeneration at low temperature and under normal pressure
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hydroxylation of n-alkanes, which proceeds in the presence of a P450-monooxygenase advantageously at temperatures significantly below room temperature, is described. In addition, an enzymatic hydroxylation of the "liquid gas" n-butane with in situ cofactor regeneration, which does not require high-pressure conditions, was developed. The resulting 2-butanol was obtained as the only regioisomer, at a product concentration of 0.16 g/L.

Conversion of N-Heptane on Pt/Al2O3 Catalyst
Hydrogenation reaction with n-heptane on Pt/Al2O3 catalyst was investigated under the steady state condition in a fixed bed reactor. The catalyst was prepared under a variety of conditions, but the one chosen was non-acidic that is not considered a hydrocracking catalyst. The main objective was to vary the selectivity of n-heptane as a function of reaction variables es...
متن کاملCofactor regeneration – an important aspect of biocatalysis
Biocatalysis has made tremendous advances in the field of synthesis of industrially important products and intermediates. Cofactors are an important part of many enzymes which are involved in biocatalysis. These cofactors are expensive and stoichiometric additions are not economically feasible. This necessitates the in situ cofactor regeneration in biocatalytic processes. Various methods of reg...

متن کاملOptimization of the preparation procedure of Ni/Al2O3 catalyst for steam reforming of n-butane
Performance of Ni/Al2O3 catalysts (10 wt.% Ni) in steam reforming of n-butane was investigated in terms of n-butane conversion, selectivity to hydrogen and hydrogen yield. The process was carried out in a fixed-bed tubular reactor at 650 °C and atmospheric pressure. The volumetric flow rates of n-butane and steam were 0.1 mL/min and 0.6 mL/min, respectively. The catalysts were prepared by preci...
