Transient‐phase and steady‐state kinetics of lipase‐catalyzed ester hydrolysis 1

Abstract

An experimental study has been made of both the steady‐state and the transient‐phase (presteady‐state) kinetics of the hydrolyses of several saturated aliphatic esters of p‐nitrophenol catalyzed by wheat germ lipase. The analysis of the presteady‐state part revealed two transients indicating that lipase‐catalyzed reactions proceed via a two‐intermediate mechanism suggested for other esterases. The possibility of more than one species of the enzyme engaged in catalytic activity is discussed and a reaction mechanism scheme is proposed accordingly.     

Biotic and abiotic transformations of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE)

Background Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is a fuel additive which is used all over the world. In recent years it has often been found in groundwater, mainly in the USA, but also in Europe. Although MTBE seems to be a minor toxic, it affects the taste and odour of water at concentrations of < 30 μg/L. Although MTBE is often a recalcitrant compound, it is known that many ethers can be degraded by abiotic means. The aim of this study was to examine biotic and abiotic transformations of MTBE with respect to the particular conditions of a contaminated site (former refinery) in Leuna, Germany. Methods Groundwater samples from wells of a contaminated site were used for aerobic and anaerobic degradation experiments. The abiotic degradation experiment (hydrolysis) was conducted employing an ion-exchange resin and MTBE solutions in distilled water. MTBE, tertiary butyl formate (TBF) and tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) were measured by a gas chromatograph with flame ionisation detector (FID). Aldehydes and organic acids were respectively analysed by a gas chromatograph with electron capture detector (ECD) and high-performance ion chromatography (HPIC). Results and Discussion Under aerobic conditions, MTBE was degraded in laboratory experiments. Only 4 of a total of 30 anaerobic experiments exhibited degradation, and the process was very slow. In no cases were metabolites detected, but a few degradation products (TBF, TBA and formic acid) were found on the site, possibly due to the lower temperatures in groundwater. The abiotic degradation of MTBE with an ion-exchange resin as a catalyst at pH 3.5 was much faster than hydrolysis in diluted hydrochloric acid (pH 1.0). Conclusion Although the aerobic degradation of MTBE in the environment seems to be possible, the specific conditions responsible are widely unknown. Successful aerobic degradation only seems to take place if there is a lack of other utilisable compounds. However, MTBE is often accompanied by other fuel compounds on contaminated sites and anaerobic conditions prevail. MTBE is often recalcitrant under anaerobic conditions, at least in the presence of other carbon sources. The abiotic hydrolysis of MTBE seems to be of secondary importance (on site), but it might be possible to enhance it with catalysts. Recommendation and Outlook MTBE only seems to be recalcitrant under particular conditions. In some cases, the degradation of MTBE on contaminated sites could be supported by oxygen. Enhanced hydrolysis could also be an alternative. - * The basis of this peer-reviewed paper is a presentation at the 9th FECS Conference on 'Chemistry and Environment', 29 August to 1 September 2004, Bordeaux, France.     

污水中基于酶活性分析的硫酸雌酮雌激素效应

在污水处理厂尾水中,雌酮（E1）和硫酸雌酮（E1-3-S）分别是赋存浓度最高的自由态雌激素和结合态雌激素.E1-3-S难以被生物降解且雌激素效应有限,但环境条件适宜时可在芳基硫酸酯酶（AryS）作用下通过水解释放出具有雌激素效应的E1.本论文提出了一种利用AryS活性值和E1-3-S酶促水解动力学参数计算E1-3-S半寿期的方法.根据现场取样分析得到了重庆市某污水处理厂生物处理构筑物内混合液,合流制管道溢流口与尾水受纳水体底泥中在冬、春、夏3个季节的AryS活性值,其均值分别为417.41~941.14,91.55~179.42,28.11~59.64μg对硝基酚/（g·h）.在20℃的实验室条件下,E1-3-S的酶促水解遵循一级动力学模式（P<0.01）,且水解速率K_d与AryS活性呈线性正相关（R²=0.9774）.根据春季的AryS活性数据和实验室条件下E1-3-S水解速率与酶活性的线性回归方程推算,得到了在污水处理厂生物构筑物内、合流制管网溢流口和污水厂尾水排放点附近水体中E1-3-S在对应环境温度条件下通过酶促水解的半寿期分别为33.5,153.0,410.0h.该方法可用于评估硫酸型结合态雌激素在水环境中的雌激素效应释放风险.

活性炭在氰化物水解除氰中作用的探讨

为了寻求活性炭在水解除氰中所起的作用，从加炭与未加炭水解除氰多个方面进行了试验与相应的计算，结果表明：在氰化物溶液中加入活性炭后，降低了水解反应的活化能，加速了氰化物水解反应速度；同时，活性炭重复使用基本没有影响原除氰效果，且活性炭自身的重量也基本没有减少（除了有点机械磨损外）。故活性炭在氰化物水解反应中起了催化的作用。

干旱季节水库水质pH值增高原因探析

随着水库蓄水量的减少,水生生物快速大量生长,破坏了水体中碳酸氢盐的水解平衡,伴随生物利用水中二氧化碳进行光合作用的过程,水中氢氧根离子含量增加,氢氧根离子又使碳酸氢根的电离平衡向生成碳酸根离子方向移动,导致水中碳酸根离子浓度增大,总碱度增加,同时湖库底质盐碱土和草甸土的碳酸氢盐以及碳酸盐的平衡释放也使水体的碳酸氢盐得到外源补充.周而复始使水体的碳酸盐碱度和总碱度不断增加,pH也逐步增高.在相对往年引入嫩江水容量较少的情况下,干旱、高温、少雨、水体表面的物理蒸发和生物蒸腾作用,水库水容量急剧减少,上述情况进一步加剧.并通过对水库出口的碱度进行修正,推算出水体的生物量,和理论生物量计算值相符合.
