Question

Describe Immobilized Solvents.

Answer 1

Immobilized Solvents:

• A solvent is defined as a substance that dissolves the solute.
• Immobilization means restricting the flowing of solvent.
• Solvents which restrict the mobilization of solvents are known as immobilized solvents.
• The desirable product of solvent into solid catalyst reduces the mobilization of solvent, thus they can be immobilized.

Characteristics:

• It has a greater magnitude and viscosity.
• It has a slower absorption rate due to less mobility.
• It has a surface area of the order from 1 to 2.
• In separate support, immobilization is known as imprisonment of enzyme
• It is applied to enzyme action on cells. for purifying enzymes.
• It is used in the industrial production of antibiotics, beverages, and amino acids.
