Abstract
An enzymatic treatment with cellulases fromTrichoderma viride was investigated in its effect on the pore structure of different types of bead cellulose. One objective of this study was to establish a suitable procedure for combined enzymatic treatment and solvent exchange that would restore the original pore structure which the beads had before drying without causing major losses in mechanical stability. Another aim was to further increase the accessible pore space and internal surface area for separation of large molecular weight compounds with regard to Chromatographic applications. Finally, an attempt was made to extend the findings for unsubstituted beads to the derivatives carboxymethyl (CM) and diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) cellulose beads. The enzymatically treated samples were characterized by microscopic methods and porosity measurements such as mercury porosimetry, nitrogen sorption and size exclusion chromatography. It was found that under controlled conditions the low-porosity surface layer of dried beads could be removed making the internal pore space accessible without reducing the resistance to deformation of the beads. Additionally, a shift in pore size distribution towards larger pores was observed. Supplementary swelling treatments in solvents of high swelling power could substantially restore the former porosity of the dried beads but did not enhance the accessibility to the cellulases to a considerable extent. Internal pore volume and surface area of the derivatives were dramatically increased in the case of DEAE upon enzymatic hydrolysis, however, at the expense of mechanical stability, whereas CM was found to be less affected.
