Evaluation and Practical Considerations

Several monolithic enzyme biocatalysts were prepared and characterized with carbon coatings consisting of carbonized sucrose, carbonized polyfurfuryl alcohol, and carbon nanofibers. The coated carbon monoliths were also compared with an integral (composite) carbon monolith. A lipase from Candida antarctica was adsorbed on the monolithic supports. Adsorption on carbon coatings can be very effective, depending on the carbon microstructure. For a high lipase loading. [Pg.420]

1-butanol with vinyl acetate was observed. The CNF-based catalysts performed best, showing the highest activity per volnme of catalyst. For 400-cpsi cordierite monoliths, the initial rate is high at 5.2 mol/s The integral carbon [Pg.421]
