RESUMO
A simple method for the preparation of hybrid luminescence and rodlike CdS nanoclusters/poly (propylene-grafted-(2-methylacrylic acid 3-(bis-carboxymethyl amino-2-hydroxy-propyl ester) (GMA-IDA fibers, by plasma induced method following chemical deposition method, is presented in this study. GMA-IDA chelating groups which are grafted onto the poly(propylene) fibers are the coordination sites for chelating Cd+2, on which nano-sized CdS nanocrystals grew. TEM observations demonstrate that the mean diameter of CdS nanocrystals inside the poly(PP-graft-GMA-IDA) fibers alters from 2 nm to 8 nm at various concentrations of S2- solution. Additionally, SEM presents that the CdS nanocrystals on the surface have rod-like structure. The UV-vis absorption spectra provide the information of the absorption edges, band-gaps, and average diameter of CdS nanocrystals, the results of which are coincidence with the TEM observations. Furthermore, the photoluminescence (PL) shows the maximum peaks are 495 nm, 571 nm, 657 nm, and 675 nm corresponding to the mean particle sizes 2.6 nm, 3.5 nm, 4.8 nm, and 7.7 nm, respectively, at an excitation wavelength of 366 nm.

A simple and clean adsorption/desorption process was proposed for recovering Acinetobacter radioresistens lipase from fermentation broth. The adsorbent used was n-hexadecane coated on a hydrophobic nonwoven fabric (NWF). n-Hexadecane has a melting point of 16-18 degrees C, and its affinity for lipase decreases markedly from liquid to solid state. Accordingly, performing the adsorption and desorption above and below, respectively, the melting point would need no extraneous materials for separation. The adsorption isotherms at various temperatures were found to follow the Langmuir model. Simulation of the batch adsorption/desorption process showed that there exists an optimal amount of adsorbent for both concentration factor and enzyme recovery; the process is restrained by equilibrium. The performance of column adsorption/desorption could also be simulated using the adsorption isotherm, and it was shown that the concentration factor was proportional to the amount of adsorbent used. The benefits of this process include easy preparation of adsorbent, low operational cost, no extraneous materials needed, negligible enzyme denaturation, high efficiency, and simple process simulation.
