In spite of the significant roles of antiscalants in preventing membrane scaling, their potential side effects were scarcely investigated. The main finding of this study is that antiscalants are prone to enhance biofilm growth on RO membranes by either altering membrane surface properties or by serving as nutritional source for microorganisms. In the first chapter of the current research, the contribution of antiscalants to membrane biofouling in seawater desalination was investigated. The effects of two commonly used antiscalants, polyphosphonate- and polyacrylate-based, were studied. The effects of RO

    Hiraishi et al. AMB Expr (2015) 5:31 DOI 10.1186/s13568-015-0118-3 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Substrate stereoselectivity of poly(Asp) hydrolase‑1 capable of cleaving β‑amide bonds as revealed by investigation of enzymatic hydrolysis of stereoisomeric β‑tri(Asp)s Tomohiro Hiraishi1,2*, Hideki Abe2 and Mizuo Maeda1 Abstract We previously reported that poly(Asp) hydrolase-1 (PahZ1KP-2) from Pedobacter sp. KP-2 selectively, but not completely, cleaved the amide bonds between β-Asp units in thermally synthesized poly(Asp) (tPAA). In the present study, the enzymatic hydrolysis of stereoisomeric β-tri(Asp)s by PahZ1KP-2 was investigated to clarify the substrate stereoselec- tivity of PahZ1KP-2 in the hydrolysis of tPAA. The results suggest the following structural features of PahZ1KP-2 at its substrate binding site: (1) the active site contains four subsites (2, 1, 1, and 2), three of which need to be occupied − − by Asp units for cleavage to occur; (2) for the hydrolysis to proceed, subsite 1 should be occupied by an L-Asp unit, whereas the other three subsites may accept both L- and D-Asp units; (3) for the two central subsites between which cleavage occurs, the (L-Asp)-(D-Asp) sequence is the most favorable for cleavage.

Polyaspartate polymers represent a significant milestone in the attainment of this goal. Thermal polyaspartates (TPA) are polycarboxylate polymers derived via thermal condensationof the naturally occurring amino acid aspartic acid.

In sensitive areas, such as the North Sea, the need for “green” oil production and drilling chemicals is particularly acute.

  • Use of Sodium Polyaspartate for the Removal of Hydroxyapatite/ Brushite Deposits from Stainless Steel Tubing
    Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 1998, 37, 2691-2700 2691 Use of Sodium Polyaspartate for the Removal of Hydroxyapatite/ Brushite Deposits from Stainless Steel Tubing Felicia Littlejohn, A. Eduardo Sa´ ez, and Christine S. Grant* Department of Chemical Engineering, North Carolina State University, Box 7905, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695-7905 This research investigates the use of sodium polyaspartate, a nontoxic, biodegradable polycar- boxylic sequestrant, for removing calcium phosphate deposit consisting of hydroxyapatite (HAP) and brushite or dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) from stainless steel surfaces. Cleaning studies show that the use of sodium polyaspartate under alkaline conditions significantly enhances the removal rates when compared to deionized water. In acidic solutions, sodium polyaspartate concentrations below 300 ppm inhibit removal of HAP/DCPD deposits whereas higher concentrations increase the removal rate. Comparative cleaning studies at alkaline pHs show that sodium polyaspartate cleans the surface at a rate comparable to sodium citrate but slower than in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Supplementary dissolution experiments show that sodium polyaspartate enhances the HAP/DCPD dissolution rate while inhibiting the release of Ca2+. On the basis of these findings, we have concluded that sodium polyaspartate improves the HAP/DCPD dissolution and cleaning rates by Ca2+ sequestration. Introduction in which the substance is transferred from the solid phase to the liquid phase followed by (2) a mass-transfer Calcium orthophosphate deposition causes cleaning process in which the dissolved substance is transferred problems in a number of situations. In industrial water from the solid/liquid interface into the bulk fluid. Mass cooling systems, the use of water containing higher transfer may be controlled by a diffusive flux caused orthophosphate levels, i.e., recycled water or untreated by a concentration gradient or by convective diffusion makeup water, leads to calcium orthophosphate scaling.

The proportion of aspartic acid moieties in the copolymers was 0.9 and 0.1, the molecules were partially branched and had absolute molar masses over 100,000 g/mol. The drug could be attached to the copolymer via metal (particularly zinc) ions, so a method to estimate the interactions between zinc ions and the water-soluble polymers by fluorescence spec- troscopy was developed. The stability constants of binding of zinc and the concentrations of zinc bound to polymer we- re determined. The results confirm that zinc ions at pH 6 preferentially bind to side groups of aspartic acid units of the copolymers.

  • Application A1161 Potassium Polyaspartate As a Food Additive in Wine
    Supporting document 1 Food technology, hazard and dietary assessment report - Application A1161 Potassium polyaspartate as a food additive in wine Executive summary FSANZ has assessed an application from Enartis Pacific Pty Ltd. to amend the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) to permit the use of potassium polyaspartate as a food additive in wine at a maximum permitted level of 100 mg/L. Potassium polyaspartate functions as a stabiliser by preventing the growth of potassium bitartrate crystals in wine. Based on the food technology assessment, FSANZ has concluded that potassium polyaspartate, when used as a food additive to stabilise wine, is technologically justified in the quantity and form proposed. It is appropriately classified as a food additive since it provides a technological function as a stabiliser. Results of in vitro studies indicate that gastrointestinal degradation and absorption of potassium polyaspartate is likely to be minimal. Potassium polyaspartate was not genotoxic in vitro, and no adverse effects were observed in 14-day and 90-day repeated dose oral toxicity studies in rats at doses up to 1000 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose tested. A dietary exposure assessment was conducted for Australian and New Zealand population groups based on the proposed draft variation. The estimated mean and 90th percentile dietary exposures range from 0.031 mg/kg bw/day to 0.35 mg/kg bw/day and from 0.072 mg/kg bw/day to 0.79 mg/kg bw/day, respectively, across the population groups assessed. The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) in the 90-day repeated dose oral toxicity study in rats (1000 mg/kg bw/day) is more than 1200-fold higher than the highest 90th percentile exposure to potassium polyaspartate in the dietary exposure assessment.
