In this study, biodesulfurization (BDS) was carried out using immobilized Rhodococcus erythropolis KA2-5-1 in n-tetradecane containing dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a model oil (n-tetradecane/immobilized cell biphasic system). The cells were immobilized by entrapping them with calcium alginate, agar, photo-crosslinkable resin prepolymers (ENT-4000 and ENTP-4000), and urethane prepolymers (PU-3 and PU-6); and it was found that ENT-4000-immobilized cells had the highest DBT desulfurization activity in the model oil system without leakage of cells from the support. Furthermore, ENT4000-immobilized cells could catalyze BDS repeatedly in this system for more than 900 h with reactivation; and recovery of both the biocatalyst and the desulfurized model oil was easy. This study would give a solution to the problems in BDS, such as the troublesome process of recovering desulfurized oil and the short life of BDS biocatalysts.
在本研究中,使用固定化的红平红球菌KA2-5-1在含有二苯并噻吩(DBT)的正十四烷作为模型油(正十四烷/固定化细胞双相体系)中进行生物脱硫(BDS)。通过用海藻酸钙、琼脂、光可交联树脂预聚物(ENT-4000和ENTP-4000)和聚氨酯预聚物(PU-3和PU-6)包埋细胞来固定细胞;并且发现,在模型油体系中,ENT-4000固定化细胞具有最高的DBT脱硫活性,且细胞不会从载体上泄漏。此外,ENT4000固定化细胞在该体系中经再活化后可重复催化BDS超过900小时;生物催化剂和脱硫模型油的回收都很容易。本研究将为BDS中存在的问题提供解决方案,例如回收脱硫油的麻烦过程以及BDS生物催化剂寿命短的问题。
