Sustainable Process Intensification for Biocatalysis: Applications in Enzymology and Biotechnology

Sustainable Process Intensification for Biocatalysis: Applications in Enzymology and Biotechnology, a new volume in the Foundations and Frontiers of Enzymology series, offers applied instruction in process intensification principles for applications in enzymology and biotechnology, helping researchers and practitioners implement these techniques across various uses and industries, from healthcare to food and biofuel. Here, leaders in the field discuss a full range of approaches and enabling technologies, from microwave to ultrasound, hydrodynamic cavitation, and combination chemical and biological catalysis techniques, such as multiphase reactors, microreactors, scale-bioprocesses, and enzyme cascades. Later chapters examine ongoing advances and their implementation across different industries, including pharmaceuticals, perfumes, polymers, and agrochemicals, with a final chapter discussing next steps in research and future directions. Throughout the book, and across applied examples, emphasis is placed on driving sustainable research approaches and manufacturing. Supports researchers and practitioners in improving the activity, stability, and reusability of enzymes across various research disciplines and industries Considers a wide range of process intensification techniques, including microwave, ultrasound, hydrodynamic cavitation, and combination chemical and biological catalysis approaches Features chapter contributions from international leaders in the field INDICE: 1.
