A partição e purificação de ascorbato oxidase de abóbora (Cucurbita maxima) por extração líquido-líquido em sistema de duas fases aquosas (SDFA), pelos processos descontínuos e contínuos, utilizando coluna de discos rotativos perfurados (PRDC), foram estudadas. Foram utilizados planejamentos estatísticos para selecionar as variáveis significativas no processo descontínuo de purificação, e as variáveis estudadas foram massa molar e concentração do polietileno glicol (PEG), concentração de citrato, pH, concentração de NaCl, fator de diluição e massa total do sistema. Os melhores resultados (coeficiente de partição 1,72, recuperação 90,8% e aumento de pureza 3,12) foram obtidos nas seguintes condições: massa molar do PEG 20000 (g/mol), pH 6,0, concentração de PEG 25% (m/m) e concentração de citrato 10% (m/m). No valor de pH 6,0 e temperatura 35°C a ascorbato oxidase apresentou seus maiores valores de atividade, e manteve a estabilidade na faixa de pH 5,0 a 9,0 durante 36 horas e a temperaturas de até 40°C durante 1 hora. Experimentos também foram realizados para estimar as principais propriedades cinéticas e termodinâmicas da atividade e estabilidade da ascorbato oxidase, e esse estudo revelou que a enzima foi estável nas condições testadas. A PRDC mostrou um bom desempenho para extração da ascorbato oxidase em modo contínuo utilizando SDFA. A melhor condição operacional selecionada neste estudo foi selecionada com o auxílio de planejamentos estatísticos, sendo selecionadas as seguintes condições: massa molar do PEG 20000 (g/mol), concentração de PEG 20% (m/m), concentração de citrato 10% (m/m), velocidade de rotação dos discos de 80 rpm e velocidade da fase dispersa de 2 mL/min. Os melhores resultados em valores médios foram: coeficiente de partição 3,36, recuperação 152%, aumento de pureza 2,31, coeficiente de transferência de massa 0,045, eficiência de separação 43,7% e hold up 0,33. Os dados experimentais demonstram o potencial da aplicação do sistema de duas fases aquosas PEG/citrato para purificar a ascorbato oxidase utilizando coluna de discos rotativos perfurados. / The partition and purification of ascorbate oxidase from pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) by liquid-liquid extraction in aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) by discontinuous and continuous process, using perforated rotating disc contactor (PRDC) was studied. Experimental designs were used to choose the significant variables for discontinuous process, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) molar mass and concentration, citrate concentration, pH, NaCl concentration, dilution factor and total mass of the system, were the variables studied. The better results (partition coefficient 1.72, recovery 90.8% and purification factor 3.12) were obtained with following conditions: PEG molar mass of 20000 g/mol, pH 6.0, PEG concentration of 25% (w/w) and citrate concentration of 10% (w/w). In the pH 6.0 and temperature of 35?C the ascorbate oxidase showed their high activity values and the enzyme was stable in the pH range of 5.0 to 9.0 during 36 hours and temperatures up to 40?C for 1 hour. Experiments were also conducted to estimate the main kinetic and thermodynamic properties of ascorbate oxidase activity and stability, and this study revealed the interesting stability of this enzyme. The PRDC showed a good performance for extracting in continuous mode using aqueous two-phase systems. The best operating condition was selected in this study for the extraction of ascorbate oxidase in the PRDC, and it was obtained with PEG molar mass of 20000 g/mol, PEG concentration of 20% (w/w) and citrate concentration of 10% (w/w), the disc rotational speed of 80 rpm and dispersed phase flowrate of 2 mL/min. The results in mean values were: partition coefficient 3.36, recovery 152%, purification factor 2.31, mass transfer coefficient 0.045, separation efficiency 43.7% and Hold up 0.33. The experimental data showed the potential application of aqueous two-phase systems PEG/citrate to purification ascorbate oxidase using perforated rotating disc contactor.

A utilização de resíduos agrícolas visando à produção de insumos por via biotecnológica tem se mostrado importante uma vez que estes resíduos são fontes renováveis de carbono. A fração hemicelulósica destes resíduos apresenta como componente principal a xilose, que pode ser utilizada como substrato em processos de bioconversão para a obtenção de produtos com valor agregado. Um destes produtos é a enzima glicose-6-fosfato desidrogenase (G6PD), primeira enzima da via das pentoses fosfato que pode ser utilizada como reagente analítico em análises quantitativas, sobretudo em estudos bioquímicos e médicos. O presente trabalho visou estudar o processo de purificação dessa enzima empregando a extração em sistemas de duas fases aquosas convencional (sem integração) e integrado ao rompimento celular, em duas escalas, reduzida e ampliada. A enzima foi produzida por Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 cultivada em meio constituído de hidrolisado hemicelulósico de palha de arroz, sob condições pré-determinadas. Inicialmente, foram realizados ensaios para avaliar o efeito das variáveis volume de suspensão celular, velocidade de agitação do moinho de esferas de vidro e tempo sobre o rompimento das células. Os valores destas variáveis foram, então, estabelecidos em: 100 mL, 400 rpm e 25 minutos, respectivamente. Posteriormente, a influência da massa molar de PEG e comprimento de linha de amarração sobre a extração da G6PD foram investigados no sistema convencional (homogeneizado obtido a partir do rompimento celular, em presença ou ausência de fragmentos) e integrado (rompimento na presença dos componentes da extração), empregando-se a metodologia do planejamento experimental. Nos ensaios realizados em escala reduzida, sob condições otimizadas, alcançou-se um fator de purificação na fase rica em sal (FPf), ou fase fundo, de 2,8 e em maior escala, ou seja, em moinho de rompimento, de 1,3. Com isso, realizou-se o estudo cinético e termodinâmico empregando a enzima presente no homogeneizado antes da purificação e após purificada no processo integrado em escala reduzida, nas seguintes condições: TLL 40% e PEG 1500 mol/L. Os valores determinados para os parâmetros cinéticos foram Km, 0,07 e 0,05 mM, Vm, 34,8 e 19,1 U/L e dos parâmetros termodinâmicos ΔG, -13,71 e -13,64 KJ/mol; ΔH, -2,49 e -2,50 KJ/mol; ΔS, 37,02 e 36,77 J/mol.K; Ea, 24,18 e 15,02 KJ/mol, da enzima presente no homogeneizado celular antes e após purificação, respectivamente. / The employment of agricultural residues aiming the attainment of biotechnological products has been shown its importance since these residues are renewable and low cost sources of carbon. The hemicellulosic fraction of these residues presents xylose as main component, which can be utilized as substrate for different bioconversion processes for the acquisition of high value products. As an example, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the first enzyme of pentose phosphate pathway which can be used as analytical reagent in several quantitative analysis, mainly in biochemical and medical studies. The present work contemplated the study of glucose-6-phosphate (G6PD) purification process by a conventional aqueous two phase systems extraction and integrated with cell disruption, in two scales, reduced and increased. The enzyme was obtained from cells of Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 grown in hemicellulosic rice straw hydrolysate, using conditions established in previous work. Initially, assays in bead mill were performed to determine the effect of cell suspension volume, agitation speed and time on cell disruption. The determined conditions were: 100 mL, 400 rpm and 25 minutes, respectively. After this, the influence of molar mass of PEG and tie line lenght (TLL) on the G6PD recovery were investigated in the conventional system (with previous disrupted cells, with or without cell fragments) and integrated (disruption in the presence of extraction components), using the experimental design methodology. In the reduced scale assays, in optimized conditions, a purification factor in salt rich phase (FPf), or bottom phase, of 2,8 was reached while in the increased scale, this means in bead mill, a FPf of 1,3 was attained. In addition, kinetic and thermodynamic studies were performed, employing the enzyme present in the homogenate before and after purification in reduced scale, in the following conditions: TLL of 40% and PEG 1500 mol/L. The established values for the kinetics parameters were Km, 0,07 and 0,05 mM, Vm, 34,8 and 19,1 U/L and of thermodynamics ΔG, -13,71 and -13,64 KJ/mol; ΔH, -2,49 and -2,50 KJ/mol; ΔS, 37,02 and 36,77 J/mol.K; Ea, 24,18 and 15,02 KJ/mol, of the enzyme present in the homogenate before and after purification respectively.

Hydromechanické charakteristiky kaolinových suspensí / Hydromechanic characteristics of clay suspensions

Sedláčková, Markéta January 2019 (has links)
A mathematical model of two-phase systems, such as clay suspensions, consists of a set of partial differential equations which reflect both the general laws of mechanics and the relations connecting the involved characteristics of the particular system under consideration. The latter equations are known as constitutive relations. The aim of this study was to find the constitutive relations for kaolin suspensions that are necessary when solving forward problems of fine sludge thickening processes. The task was to design and carry out experimental research of the given suspension and to find a convenient method of utilizing the results for the sake of getting the sought relationships. It follows from the applied mathematical theory of two-phase systems that the sought relationships are hydraulic conductivity of the suspension as a function of the solid-phase concentration and the dependence of the solid-phase concentration on the solid-phase stress. The first part of this study describes the experimental research. Since both the characteristics are difficult to measure, it was necessary to analyze the suspension's characteristics and their measurability. Subsequently, the process of the suspension preparation and the method of laboratory measurements were determined. The following sections present...
