An integrated electromigration membrane absorption method has been proposed for the separation of NO from simulated mixed gas. The experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of discharge voltage, gas flow rate, inlet concentrations, and absorbents on the NO separation efficiency and total mass transfer coefficient in the integrated electromigration membrane reactor. The experimental results demonstrated that the NO separation efficiency and total mass transfer coefficient increased with the increase in the applied discharge voltage of the integrated electromigration membrane reactor. Regardless of discharge or not, the separation efficiency of NO continuously decreased with the increase in the gas flow rate and inlet concentration of NO in the experimental process. The total mass transfer coefficient of NO increased first and then decreased with an increase in the gas flow rate, while it decreased with an increase in NO inlet concentration. Compared with the membrane absorption without discharge voltage under the condition tested, at a discharge voltage of 18kV, the NO separation efficiency and the total mass transfer coefficient increased by 48.7% and 9.7 times, respectively.

The use of lipases as a biocatalyst for industrial applications is an interesting route due to technical aspects but also to reduce environmental impacts caused by the use of chemical catalysts. Gel immobilization of the enzyme allows its reuse and avoids contamination of the product with residual portions of free enzyme. However, a typical technique available for enzyme immobilization is based on dripping driven by gravity which produces big particles and low rate of production. The reduction of size can improve the mass transfer by increasing the contact area. Thus, aiming to increase the rate of particles production and reduce the size of particles, the objective of this work was to encapsulate lipase, using a tool designed to cut the jet produced by pumping, called as Jet Cutter.
