Abstract

Mesoporous silica SBA-15 was modified by imidazole-based ionic liquids with alkyl group. The modified support samples were characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption, small-angle X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The samples were used to immobilize Burkholderia cepacia lipase (BCL) and the influence of alkyl chain length of ionic liquid on enzymatic properties was investigated by the hydrolysis reaction of triacetin. The results revealed that functionalized ionic liquid modification did not destroy the structure of SBA-15. Compared with the immobilized lipase on parent SBA-15, the immobilized lipases on modified support samples were less sensitive to temperature and low pH and showed higher specific activity and stability. Thereinto, BCL immobilized on methyl-functionalized ionic liquid modified SBA-15 had the highest specific activity, which improved 2.4 folds compared with BCL immobilized on SBA-15. BCL immobilized on octyl-functionalized ionic liquid modified SBA-15 had the best thermal stability, reusability, storage stability, and stability in organic solvent.
