| Abstract: | Benzoquinone can replace O2 as an electron acceptor in the oxidation of d-glucose catalysed by A. niger d-glucose oxidase. As a result, a useful chemical, hydroquinone, is formed in nearly 100% yield. A column packed with d-glucose oxidase immobilized onto alumina was operated for two weeks with no measurable decline in its catalytic efficiency and produced more than one hundred grams of hydroquinone. |
