  • Patent number: 11918980
    Abstract: A catalyst for continuous production of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane through gas-solid reaction as well as a preparation method and use thereof are provided. The catalyst includes a zero-valent iron and phosphorus co-modified carbon material which includes a carbon material as a carrier, a zero-valent iron supported onto the carrier and serving as an active component, and a phosphate functional group formed on the surface of the carbon material. The preparation method includes: co-modifying a carbon material using a ferric salt and organic phosphorus to obtain the catalyst for continuous production of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane through gas-solid reaction. The present application further provides a method for continuous production of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane through gas-solid reaction.

  • Patent number: 10968439
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of protein engineering, and, in particular, to a xylanase mutant with improved heat tolerance. The present invention artificially introduces two or three unnatural disulfide bridges into xylanase by site-directed mutagenesis and obtains the mutants XynA1 and XynA2 with improved heat tolerance, especially the mutant XynA2 into which three disulfide bridges are introduced, achieving residual enzyme activity of 75% after treatment at 80° C. for 5 min, 72% higher than the residual enzyme activity of the mutant XynA1. The present invention further obtains, by screening, three mutation sites Q51N, H143K, and Q161F that can significantly increase the heat tolerance of mutants, and introduction of the mutation sites into the XynA1 and XynA2 xylanases, whether at a single point or a combination of two points or a combination of three points, can effectively improve the heat tolerance of the mutants.
