Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface reactors, specifically relating to a Janus composite gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface reactor and its preparation method, as well as its application in the preparation of 1,5-pentanediamine. Background Technology
[0002] Polyamides (PA), also known as nylon, are important polymers widely used in textiles, automobiles, packaging, medical materials, and other fields, and have become an indispensable material in daily production and life. Traditional polyamide production processes use petroleum as a raw material, making the search for a renewable resource to replace petroleum-based polyamides urgent. Therefore, using biomass raw materials to produce bio-based polyamides to replace traditional polyamides is an inevitable trend.
[0003] The synthesis of 1,5-pentanediamine can be achieved through chemical and biological methods. The chemical method primarily uses glutaronitrile as a raw material, obtained through catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst. However, this method suffers from low catalytic efficiency and selectivity, and is hampered by demanding reaction conditions and poor economic efficiency, making it difficult to achieve continuous and stable production for many years. Therefore, in the continuous synthesis of 1,5-pentanediamine, the core research focus is on finding new methods and material systems that can effectively control the pH of the reaction system without the need for exogenous buffers and under ambient temperature and pressure. The preparation of the Janus composite gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface reactor has broad application prospects in fields such as biosynthesis and catalysis. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Purpose of the invention: The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a method for effectively controlling the pH of the reaction system under normal temperature and pressure through the construction of a Janus composite gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface reactor, thereby achieving long-term continuous synthesis of biogenic amines.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A method for preparing a Janus composite gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface reactor includes the following steps:
[0007] (1) Deposit metal nanomaterials onto one side surface of hydrophobic carbon paper;
[0008] (2) Hydrophilization treatment step (1) The deposited metal nanomaterials are used to obtain a porous and breathable Janus composite three-phase interface with one side hydrophilic and the other side hydrophobic.
[0009] (3) Two catalysts capable of cascade reactions are further loaded on both sides of the porous and permeable Janus composite three-phase interface obtained in step (2) to obtain the final product.
[0010] Specifically, the method for depositing metal nanomaterials onto the surface of hydrophobic carbon paper in step (1) is as follows:
[0011] S1-1: Immerse the hydrophobic carbon paper in an organic solvent, ultrasonically remove the adhering substances on the surface of the carbon paper, and dry it with nitrogen gas;
[0012] S1-2: Place the carbon paper treated in step S1-1 into the reaction cell of the three-electrode electrochemical system;
[0013] S1-3: Add PBS buffer solution and metal salt solution to the reaction tank so that one side of the carbon paper is in contact with the solution and the other side is exposed to the air;
[0014] S1-4: Electricity is supplied to the reaction tank to deposit metal nanomaterials onto the surface of hydrophobic carbon paper.
[0015] Specifically, in step S1-1, the organic solvent is selected from any one of alcohol solvents, ketone solvents or haloalkane solvents, the ratio of hydrophobic carbon paper to organic solvent is 1:10~1000, and the dispersion treatment is 0.1~6 h.
[0016] Specifically, in steps S1-3, the concentration of the PBS buffer solution is 0.01-10 M, and the pH is 3-8; the concentration of the metal salt solution is 0.2-8 mg / mL, and the solvent is an aqueous solution; the volume ratio of the PBS buffer solution to the metal salt solution is (1~10 mL):(0.5~1 mL).
[0017] Specifically, in steps S1-4, the reaction tank is energized and the voltage is controlled to be -0.8 V to 1.2 V, and the reaction time is 20 s to 15000 s after energization.
[0018] Specifically, the hydrophilization treatment method in step S2 is as follows:
[0019] The side of the carbon paper with metal nanomaterials deposited in step (1) is immersed in a hydrophilic solvent for 1-24 h. The hydrophilic reagent combines with the hydrophilic reagent to change the hydrophobic to hydrophilic. After completion, it is taken out and dried with nitrogen to obtain a porous and breathable Janus composite three-phase interface with one hydrophilic side and one hydrophobic side.
[0020] The hydrophilic solvent is aminothiol, with a concentration of 0.01 mM to 50 mM.
[0021] Specifically, in step (3), a first catalyst that can generate gaseous products is loaded on the hydrophobic surface of the porous and permeable Janus composite three-phase interface through hydrophobic forces, and a second catalyst is fixed on the hydrophilic surface of the porous and permeable Janus composite three-phase interface through covalent bonds to catalyze the gaseous products generated at the hydrophobic interface, so as to realize a cascade reaction.
[0022] Specifically,
[0023] The first catalyst supported on the hydrophobic surface is selected from either lysine decarboxylase or tyrosine decarboxylase.
[0024] The second catalyst supported on the hydrophilic surface is formate dehydrogenase.
[0025] Furthermore, the Janus composite gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface reactor prepared by the above preparation method is also within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0026] Furthermore, the present invention also claims protection for the use of the above-described Janus composite gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface reactor in the synthesis of biogenic amines.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of traditional amine biosynthesis, such as biomolecule inactivation due to high pH and the inability to synthesize continuously. By constructing a Janus composite gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface reactor, the reaction efficiency of the cascade reaction is improved, and the pH of the system is adaptively controlled. Furthermore, by adding different biomolecules to the Janus composite gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface reactor constructed by the method of this invention, the degradation efficiency and continuous reaction time are significantly improved.

[0034] The present invention can be better understood from the following embodiments.

[0037] (1) Depositing metal nanomaterials onto one side of a hydrophobic carbon paper:
[0038] (a1) Immerse the hydrophobic carbon paper in acetone at a ratio of 1:30, then place the container containing the carbon paper and organic solvent in an ultrasonic cleaner and sonicate for 4 hours to remove the adhering substances on the surface of the carbon paper. Use nitrogen to dry the cleaned carbon paper.

The voltage is set to -0.8 V, and after energizing the reaction cell for 20 s, carbon paper with Au nanomaterials on one side is obtained.
[0040] (2) Hydrophilic treatment of carbon paper coated with Au nanomaterials:
[0041] One side of the carbon paper on which Au nanomaterials were deposited was immersed in 500 µL of 1 mM hydrophilic solvent ethylaminothiol and left for 10 h. Then it was removed with tweezers and dried with nitrogen to obtain a porous and breathable Janus composite gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface with one side hydrophilic and the other hydrophobic.

The degradation efficiencies of L-lysine obtained in the two experiments are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the Janus composite gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface reactor catalyzes the formation of pentanediamine and CO2 from lysine. The CO2 is further catalyzed by FDH to formic acid, which can be neutralized to form pentanediamine. This automatically balances the pH of the reaction system, allowing lysinase to maintain a high activity over a long period.

In this embodiment, the Janus composite gas-solid-liquid three-phase interface reactor FDH / MEA / Au / CP / SpLDC enables lysinase to reach a pH of 8.0 in the reaction system after 87 days. In contrast, free lysinase reaches a pH of 9.0 in the reaction system after only 5 days. Figure 3 As shown.
