Opis: Supercritical Fluids Technology in Lipase Catalyzed Processes - Hanifa Taher, Sulaiman Al-Zuhair

Enzymes are currently used in various industries, most commonly in food, detergents, and pharmaceuticals production. Lipases are hydrolytic enzymes that demonstrate great potential as an alternative to conventional catalysts in a number of industrial applications. A complete understanding of enzymes, and their proteins structure and environmental behavior, can greatly aid in the further development of industrial applications. Supercritical Fluids Technology in Lipase Catalized Processes provides basic information about enzymes, their sources, reaction kinetics, and main industrial applications. The book focuses in lipases. their main sources, structure, and features, with an emphasis on their specificity and interfacial activity, and presents proven techniques for isolating, extracting, and purifying. Comprised of six compact chapters, this comprehensive guide introduces: * Immobilization techniques and immobilized lipases that allow repeated use (which is essential from an economic point of view) * Different bioreactor configurations using immobilized lipases * The latest information on the available technologies in lipolytic reactions * The advantages of nonaqueous media in biochemical synthesis over aqueous and solvent-free systems * Material on the use of lipases in nonaqueous media to overcome the drawbacks usually encountered with the use of conventional chemical catalysts * The use of supercritical fluids (SCFs) as a green alternative reaction medium * Factors affecting the physical properties of lipases in this medium and, hence, their activity and stability * A case study using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) for biodiesel production * Novel, cutting-edge technology, using immobilized enzymes to reduce the overall production cost Supercritical Fluids Technology in Lipase Catalized Processes outlines the main industrial applications of common enzymes and discusses relevant challenges and innovations emerging in the field. "Overall, the book presents a relatively new and focused topic on supercritical fluid technology in enzymatic reaction system[s]. The writing style of the book has a good flow of information and [is] easy to understand." -Dr. Mutasim Nour, Associate Professor (BSc, MSc, PhD), Director of MSc Energy and Renewable Energy Program, School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Heriot-Watt University, Dubai Campus "... well-written ... covers all aspects related to the use of enzyme to catalyze biodiesel reaction and other important reactions." -Dr. Mohammed Farid, Professor of Chemical and Materials Engineering, the University of Auckland, New Zealand "... a good combination between theory and application in real engineering... touching the key points in the field." -Marwan Al-Rubaye, Executive Mat Service Ltd., CanadaEnzyme Fundamentals Catalysts and Enzymes Sources of Enzymes Classification of Enzymes Enzyme Production Industrial Applications of Enzymes Enzyme Engineering References Lipases Lipases, Esterases, and Phospholipases Sources of Lipases Lipase Structure and Interfacial Activation Specificity as an Attractive Feature of Lipase Lipases Production, Isolation, and Purification Industrial Applications of Lipase Improvements of Lipase Properties References Lipase Immobilization Lipase Immobilization Support Materials Methods of Immobilization Lipase Physiochemical Properties Improvement Immobilized Lipase Reactors References Kinetics of Soluble and Immobilized Enzymes Enzyme Activity Reaction Mechanisms Kinetic Models Determination of Kinetic Parameters Factors Affecting Reaction Rates Kinetics of Immobilized Enzymes Immobilized Enzyme Bioreactor Design and Scale-Up References Lipase-Catalyzed Reactions in Nonaqueous Media Organic Solvents Supercritical Fluids Ionic Liquids IL-SC-CO2 Biphasic Systems References Lipase-Catalyzed Production of Biodiesel Using Supercritical Technology Biodiesel Feedstocks Biodiesel Production Technologies Lipase-Catalyzed Transesterification: Technical Challenges Lipase-Catalyzed Reactions with Supercritical Fluids High-Pressure Reaction Systems Processes Integration References
