Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a process for the extraction, production and purification of carbon dioxide gas. More particularly, it relates to the use of a biological molecule, namely carbonic anhydrase, to effect the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Carbonic anhydrase can be used for the production, purification of carbon dioxide and the products of the hydration reaction, hydrogen and bicarbonate ions. Specifically, the invention relates to a process whereby immobilized carbonic anhydrase contained within a reactor device catalyses the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the process. The process may be employed for the production of hydrogen and bicarbonate ions.
  • Carbonic anhydrase (EC 4.2.1.1.) is a globular zinc metalloenzyme of molecular mass 30,000. The enzyme was discovered in 1933 and has been the subject of intense scientific investigation. Multiple isoforms have been discovered in plant and animal tissues. The enzyme also exists in plant tissues where it is believed to facilitate the transport of carbon dioxide. Red blood cells contain isoenzymes I and II, which are the most active. Carbonic anhydrase II has the highest molecular turnover number of any known enzyme. One molecule of carbonic anhydrase can hydrate 36,000,000 molecules of carbon dioxide in a period of 60 seconds. Physiologically, carbonic anhydrase facilitates the removal of carbon dioxide from the mammalian body. The general enzyme reaction is shown below in equation 1. Equation 1 :
  • Carbonic anhydrase has been used in many studies directed at improving or testing of various methods of protein immobilization.
