RESUMO

Enzymes supported in a solid phase catalyzing reactions with substrates and products in gaseous phase constitute a recent progress in the biotechnology. It has technological applications that include: toxic gas remediation, biosensors and synthesis of pharmaceutical, fragrances and aromas for the food industry and cosmetics. This work presents, the experimental results of the kinetic study of the esterification and hydrolysis reactions of ethyl acetate in gaseous phase catalyzed by two biocatalysts: the) Lipase PS (Amano, Japan) immobilized in supports of pure and mixed oxides of Si/Mg with controlled pore and b) Lipozyme 1M (Novo Nordisk, Denmark). The experimental system is formed by three blocks: the first is responsible for the preparation of the substrates in gaseous phase, considering that a carrier gas, after bubbling in a substrate, is in equilibrium with the liquid phase, and so the partial pressure of the substrate in the gas leaving the saturation flask is equal to the vapor pressure corresponding to the bubble point pressure above the pure compound. The second is the reaction block and the last block is formed by the gas chromatography and acquisition of data systems on-line connected. Variations in the amount of biocatalyst did not show the existence of limitations for mass transfer for the same reaction conditions. This way, the reaction kinetics was studied as a function of the ethyl acetate and water concentration with a constant reaction temperature of the 45°C. The water showed to be an important parameter in the process, as reported in the literature. A reaction mechanism Bi-Bi was proposed. The activation energy as being 24,8 kJ/kmol was calculated. The order of global reaction (determined as 1) showed a dependence of first order in relation to the substrate concentrations. Finally, the results of the effect of the length of the chains of the substrate in the hydrolysis reactions of the ethyl and butyl acetate are discussed
