Abstract
Here, we report the implementation of α-amylase conjugated silica microparticles for improvement of α-amylase partitioning in a PEG–organic salt-based aqueous two phase system. A direct reduction method was employed for the synthesis of silica microparticles with simultaneous introduction of α-amylase. In this context, we synthesized three different silica α-amylase conjugated microparticles with variation of tetraethyl orthosilicate concentration, and thus the effect of final particle size and enzyme loading on partitioning was also studied. The partition coefficient ratio of α-amylase to Si:α-amylase of 2.186 : 21.701 validated an almost tenfold increase in separation. The microscopic structure of the system was thoroughly investigated in order to understand the extraction mechanism and any possible denaturation. Improved partition coefficients can be interpreted by the formation of α-amylase–silica–PEG carriers. Furthermore, circular dichroism (CD) spectra validated partial unfolding of the enzyme. Here, we report the implementation of α-amylase conjugated silica microparticles for improvement of α-amylase partitioning in a PEG–organic salt-based aqueous two phase system.![]()

Abstract
In the present study, dual-layer mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were prepared by incorporating ZSM-5 zeolite into poly(ether-block-amide) (PEBA) as an active layer on the polyethersulfone (PES) membrane as a support layer for pervaporation separation of ethyl acetate (EAc) from EAc/water mixtures. The ZSM-5 zeolite nanoparticles were synthesized by the hydrothermal technique and characterized using XRD, XRF and FESEM analysis. The ATR-FTIR, SEM, DSC and contact angle tests were used to characterize the fabricated MMMs. The effect of ZSM-5 concentration on the performance of the membranes was investigated by the pervaporation experiments and the results showed that loading 10% wt% ZSM-5 into the PEBA matrix had the best separation performance. The effect of feed concentration (1–5 wt%) and operating temperature (30–50 °C) on the separation factor and permeation flux of the neat PEBA/PES and PEBA/PES membranes containing 10 wt% ZSM-5 were studied at laminar and turbulent feed flow regimes. Analysis of variance was used to investigate the interaction effect of EAc concentration and temperature on the performance of the prepared membranes. It was observed that both feed concentration and temperature had positive effects on the total permeation flux and separation factor. The ZSM-5/PEBA/PES membrane containing 10 wt% ZSM-5 showed a separation factor and total flux of 124.94 and 1882 g m−2 h−1 at laminar flow and 134.22 and 1985 g m−2 h−1 at turbulent flow, respectively for a feed concentration of 5 wt% and temperature of 50 °C. Dual-layer mixed matrix membranes were prepared by incorporating ZSM-5 zeolite into PEBA as an active layer on the PES membrane as a support layer for pervaporation separation of EAc from the EAc/water mixtures.![]()

Abstract
High resolution is nearly lost at the expense of throughput in most conventional bioseparation methods. Nanoparticles, due to their high surface to volume ratio, are attractiveenzyme carriers, which can boost the performance of extraction manifold. Here, wereport design and application ofa method highly capable of improving the partitioning of α-amylase in aqueous two-phase system of polymer and salt. Silica nanoparticle introduced to the system acts as a bridge that connects the enzyme and polymer. Theconjugated nanoparticles form the major part of the upper phase and thus significantly enhance the protein recovery. A thorough investigation was performed on the structure of the nanoconjugatesas well as analyzing the conformational structure of the enzyme after conjugationto explore anypossible denaturation.

Abstract
In this research, direct conversion of wet algal biomass into biodiesel using supercritical methanol was studied. In this process, microalgal lipids simultaneously was extracted and converted to biodiesel under high pressure and temperature conditions without using any catalyst. Several experiments have been performed to optimize the methanol amount and it has been revealed that the best performance was achieved by using methanol/wet biomass ratio of 8:1. The effect of using various co-solvents in increasing the efficiency of the supercritical process was investigated. It has been shown that hexane was the most effective co-solvent and its optimal ratio respect to wet biomass was 6:1. The results indicated that compare to conventional extraction plus transesterification reaction, fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) yield was slightly higher in the direct conversion process. Moreover, increasing the moisture content up to 80% has no significant effect on reducing the performance of this process.

Abstract
In this research, a two-stage process consisting of cultivation in nutrient rich and nitrogen starvation conditions was employed to enhance lipid production in Chlorella vulgaris algal biomass. The effect of supplying different organic and inorganic carbon sources on cultivation behavior was investigated. During nutrient sufficient condition (stage I), the highest biomass productivity of 0.158±0.011g/L/d was achieved by using sodium bicarbonate followed by 0.130±0.013, 0.111±0.005 and 0.098±0.003g/L/d for sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and molasses, respectively. Cultivation under nitrogen starvation process (stage II) indicated that the lipid and fatty acid content increased continuously to a maximum value at day 2. Using carbon dioxide resulted in highest cell density, while using sodium acetate led to the highest fatty acid content. Molasses was not as effective as other carbon sources, but by taking into account its lower price, it can be considered as a suitable carbon source for algal lipid productivity.
