Abstract
Following the concept of "waste into resources", a mild and controllable light grafting technique was used to immobilize pancreatic lipase (PPL) in situ on modified organic, chromium-free tanned leather scraps to catalyze the hydrolysis of waste oil. The experimental results showed that immobilized PPL significantly improved the catalytic activity, operational stability, reusability, and storage stability compared to free PPL. Furthermore, the study evaluated the environmental compatibility of the system through biological risk assessment of soil extracts after degradation, indicating that the system has good environmental compatibility. The experiment is simple to operate, uses mild conditions, and the immobilized material is obtained from leather-making solid waste. The use of this immobilization system to treat waste oil in the leather-making process is of great significance for achieving clean and sustainable production in the leather industry.
期刊介绍:
Polymers (ISSN 2073-4360) is an international, open access journal of polymer science. It publishes research papers, short communications and review papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Polymers provides an interdisciplinary forum for publishing papers which advance the fields of (i) polymerization methods, (ii) theory, simulation, and modeling, (iii) understanding of new physical phenomena, (iv) advances in characterization techniques, and (v) harnessing of self-assembly and biological strategies for producing complex multifunctional structures.
