Description
Giorgia Albonetti and seven colleagues anchored an industrial enzyme onto charred bamboo to make catalysis greener. Immobilizing lipase on a solid support lets it be recovered and reused. Their supports came from bamboo heated without oxygen, by fast and slow pyrolysis. A widely used lipase, Candida antarctica lipase B, was adsorbed onto both chars. The loaded materials were tested in ester-making and hydrolysis reactions, in flasks and in continuous flow.
Immobilization yields were high in all cases, but fast-pyrolysis char performed consistently better. It reached ninety-seven percent conversion under optimized batch conditions and held up over four reuse cycles. Industrial fatty acid mixtures were also processed successfully. The twenty twenty-six study shows farm-waste bamboo can replace synthetic supports in enzyme technology.
