ZnWO4 particles were synthesized as a single-phase by a simple and easy solvo-hydrothermal technique using water-ethylene glycol mixture as solvent, without using surfactant. Physical properties of produced particles were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), surface area (BET), particles size distribution and atomic force microscopy (AFM). This material was used as support for inulinase immobilization by physical adsorption and the influence of temperature (30 and 50 ºC) was evaluated. Material with mesoporous characteristic and with a surface area of 35.5 m2.g-1 was obtained. According to the findings, ZnWO4 present a satisfactory inulinase adsorption, and the better result was 605 U.g-1 support at 30 ºC. Therefore, ZnWO4 particles prepared by one-step solvo/hydrothermal route provide a new potential support for inulinase immobilization.

AbstractCopper and cobalt aluminates were obtained through the use of chitosan as template. In this synthesis route, chitosan is eliminated by heating, and a porous material is produced. These oxides were used as supports for inulinase immobilization by adsorption process. Physical properties of produced particles were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. Both oxides presented particles containing mesoporous characteristics and high surface area, which is desirable for applications in enzyme immobilization processes. The results revealed that the copper and cobalt aluminates exhibit high inulinase immobilization efficiencies, which makes them promising supports for enzyme immobilization.
