Kinetic resolution of rac-1-phenylethanol with vinyl acetate, catalyzed by immobilized lipase B from Candida antarctica, was performed in two different unconventional solvents; ionic liquids and supercritical carbon dioxide and in a batch stirred-tank reactor and in a high-pressure batch stirred variable-volume reactor. The influence of different ionic liquids, temperature and substrate ratio on this enzyme-catalyzed reaction was studied. The highest initial reaction rate and final conversion of 100 % was achieved in the case when hydrophilic [bmim][BF4] was used as solvent.

COBISS.SI-ID: 12966934The annual meetings of students and university professors from Universities of Maribor and Zagreb in the field of »Applied Biocatalysis« started in year 2005. The purpose of these meetings is to exchange knowledge and experiences of researchers in the field of applied biocatalysis, bioseparations, biotransformations etc. The 5th meeting of students and university professors was organised in Maribor in the frame of 1st Conference on »Applied Biocatalysis« sponsored by Slovenian Research Agency. Colleagues from Universities of Pannonia and Budapest active participated on conference, too.
