“…Biodiesel is also biodegradable; it has low toxicity and minimal emissions of sulfates and aromatic compounds [2]. The major feedstock for biodiesel production represents rapeseed oil, followed by soybean and palm oil [3], but also non-edible oils [4], used cooking oils [5], algae [6,7] or fungi oils can also be processed through transesterification with short-chain alcohols for biodiesel production. The most commonly used alcohols for the transesterification reaction are methanol and ethanol.…”

Efficient Biodiesel Production Catalyzed by Nanobioconjugate of Lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens

et al. 2020

The Amano lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens (L-AK) was covalently immobilized on various carbon nanomaterials (functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide) and tested for biodiesel production. Using the most active lipase preparation (covalently immobilized L-AK on SwCNTNH2 derivatized with glycerol diglycidyl ether) under optimal conditions, quasi-complete conversion (>99%) of sunflower oil was obtained after only 4 h reaction time. Moreover, the biocatalyst maintained more than 99% of its initial activity in the batch system after multiple recycling experiments.
