Methyl Oleate Production in a Supported Sol–Gel Immobilized Lipase Packed Bed Reactor
Abstract
A supported immobilized lipase was investigated as a suitable biocatalyst for the transesterification of triolein to methyl oleate in a packed bed reactor (PBR). The packing material for the bioreactor was comprised of lipase immobilized in sol–gel and supported on Celite (CSG). A kinetic- and mass transfer-based model was developed, incorporating a novel efficiency correlation to account for the effect of glycerol on the immobilized enzyme. …
