TABLE 1.
Characteristics of (A) CaCO3 microspheres, and (B) free CE and cross-linked CE (A).
(A) | ||||
SBET | V | dad (average) | dde (average) | |
(m2/g) | (cm3/g) | (nm) | (nm) | |
CaCO3 microspheres | 6.888 | 0.048 | 30.914 | 27.937 |
(B) | ||||
Specific activity | Km | Vmax | ||
Sample | (mM min–1 mg–1) | (mM) | (mM min–1) | |
Free CE | 48.32 | 0.25 ± 0.02 | 2.82 ± 0.13 | |
Cross-linked CE | 7.63 | 0.94 ± 0.25 | 0.82 ± 0.16 |
SBET is the BET surface area; V is the total pore volume; pore size, dad and dde were calculated using the BJH (Barett–Joyner–Halenda) method.
