A Recyclable Poly(ionic liquid)s Enzyme Reactor for Highly Efficient Protein Digestion

One of the most significant tasks for proteomic research and industrial applications, is the preparation of recyclable enzyme reactor. Herein, a novel recyclable enzyme reactor has been developed based on monodispersed spherical poly(quaternary ammonium ionic liquid)s particles immobilized trypsin. A new quaternary ammonium ionic liquids functional monomer was first synthesized. The ionic l...

Process Intensification of Alkynol Semihydrogenation in a Tube Reactor Coated with a Pd/ZnO Catalyst

Semihydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) was studied in a 5 m tube reactor wall-coated with a 5 wt % Pd/ZnO catalyst. The system allowed for the excellent selectivity towards the intermediate alkene of 97.8 ± 0.2% at an ambient H2 pressure and a MBY conversion below 90%. The maximum alkene yield reached 94.6% under solvent-free conditions and 96.0% in a 30 vol % MBY aqueous solution. Th...

Ionic Liquid assisted Synthesis of Zeolite-TON

An ionic liquid assisted strategy for the synthesis of zeolitic material is reported. This strategy is a solid state synthetic method and the ionic liquid is employed as structure directing agent. A TON-type zeolite, which contains one-dimensional 10-member-ring, is successfully synthesized with the assistance of the ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide. This finding improves our u...
