Fusel oil reaction in pressurized water: characterization and antimicrobial activity.

ABSTRACT: This work aimed to investigate the reaction of fusel oil (FO) with pressurized water in a continuous flow reactor, in order to verify the effect of operating conditions (temperature and alcohol to water ratio) on the formation of reaction products, as well as to potentiate the antimicrobial activity of FO. The characterization of the FO was performed by high resolution mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF) and by a chromatograph coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the reaction products were characterized by ESI-TOF and evaluated for antifungal potential. From the results, it was verified that the FO contained 70.58 wt% of isoamyl alcohol and was formed mainly by the organic functions alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and lipids. The reaction mechanisms that prevailed during the reactions conducted in subcritical and supercritical states were dehydration and reduction, respectively, making it possible to identify pyrazine derivatives compounds in the reaction products. The fungus Irpex lacteus showed greater resistance under the application of reaction products, and the products obtained at 300 °C and 400 °C showed an inhibition percentage of 96.07% to Schizophyllum commune and 96.50% to Trametes versicolor, respectively.

Project description:The effect of distillery waste product (fusel oil) as an alternative external organic carbon source (EOCS) was investigated in terms of the metabolic properties of denitrifying polyphosphate accumulating organisms (DPAOs). Samples of the non-acclimated biomass were collected from a local full-scale wastewater treatment plant employing A2/O type bioreactors. The acclimated biomass was obtained after cultivation (with fusel oil added) in a bench-scale reactor with a process configuration similar to the full-scale bioreactor. Changes in the functional properties of the biomass were investigated by measuring the phosphate release/uptake rates (PRRs and PURs), and nitrate utilization rates (NURs) with fusel oil in anaerobic-anoxic batch tests. Furthermore, a validated extended Activated Sludge Model no 2d (ASM2d) was used as a supporting tool to analyze the experimental results and estimate the contribution of DPAOs to the overall denitrification. In the non-acclimated biomass with fusel oil, the PRRs, PURs and NURs were low and close to the rates obtained in a reference test without adding EOCS. With the acclimated biomass, the PUR and NUR increased significantly, i.e., 3.5 and 2.7 times, respectively. In the non-acclimated biomass, approximately 60.0 ± 3.6% and 20.0 ± 2.2% of the total NUR was attributed to the utilization of endogenous carbon and examined EOCS, respectively. The remaining portion (20% of the total NUR) was attributed to PHA utilization (linked to PO4-P uptake) by DPAOs. With the acclimated biomass, the contribution of the EOCS to the NUR increased to approximately 60%, while the contribution of the endogenous carbon source decreased accordingly. Very accurate predictions of PURs and NURs (R2 = 0.97-1.00) were obtained with the extended ASM2d. Based on model simulations, it was estimated that the activity of DPAOs and denitrifying ordinary heterotrophic organisms corresponded to approximately 20% and 80% of the total NUR, respectively.
