Abstract:

Hydrophobically ordered mesoporous SiO2(OMS)carrier was prepared by template method combined with octyl surface modification, and immobilized lipase was prepared on this basis(CSL@OMS-C8), which was successfully applied to the solvent-free enzymatic preparation of cinnamyl acetate. Scanning electron microscope(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), nitrogen gas adsorption analyzer, Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)and contact angle goniometer were employed to characterize the carriers and immobilized enzyme. The results showed that OMS has ordered mesoporous morphology with a specific surface area of 149.9 m2/g and corresponding average pore diameter of 15 nm. The hydrophobicity of the material was greatly improved after hydrophobic modification with the contact angle increased from 20° to 120°. The optimal reaction conditions were obtained by optimizing the reaction conditions of enzymatic transesterification: reaction temperature was 50℃, molar ratio of cinnamyl alcohol to vinyl acetate was 1∶5, catalyst addition was 2 g/L, reaction time was 2 h, and the conversion rate reached 96.6%. Besides, the CSL@OMS-C8 maintained 80% conversion for cinnamyl alcohol after five-cycle reuse.
