Abstract
In this study, magnetic chitosan microspheres (Fe3O4-CTS) were prepared via chemical co-precipitation and cross-linked with lipase using glutaraldehyde to form Fe3O4-CTS-glutaraldehyde-lipase particles. The textural characteristics of Fe3O4-CTS-glutaraldehyde-lipase particles were assessed by scanning electron microscopy. The optimal immobilization conditions were 2.1 mg/mL lipase, 10 mg/mL Fe3O4-CTS-glutaraldehyde, pH 7.5, 30 °C, 2 h. The loading amount of lipase was 126.0 mg/g carrier, and the specific activity reached to 46.7 U/mg. Fe3O4-CTS-glutaraldehyde-lipase particles was used in resolution of racemic 1-phenylethylamine in a solvent-free system. The conversion and enantiomeric excess of (R)-N-(1-phenylethyl)acetamide reached 33.6% and 97%.
