Catalytic potency of ionic liquid-stabilized metal nanoparticles towards greening biomass processing: Insights, limitations and prospects
2018, Biochemical Engineering JournalCitation Excerpt :There is a similar pretty wide spread of metal nanoparticles (such as Fe3O4 magnetic, Ni, Ru, Fe-containing and TiO2 nanoparticles) which have been individually assessed for their ability to influence biomass conversion and in the nanoimmobilization of a wide variety of enzymes [109–112]. Some of these effects and applications are in the immobilization of enzymes such as cellulases [113–115] for inducing improved degradation an delignification of lignocellulosic biomass fractions [116–118], phthalation of biomass such as bagasse [119], in assisting the sub/supercritical water gasification of lignin-based biomass [120–122], in transesterification processes [123–126], for enhanced hydrogenation of biomass-based chemicals (such as furfural) with high selectivity [127,128] and in enhancing the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosics to biofuel molecules [129–131]. As per the discussions of Datta et al. [132], enzyme immobilization (which be effected by adsorption, covalent binding, affinity immobilization or entrapment) eventually leads to an enhanced set of interactions of enzymes with the substrates which result in having higher turnovers over longer time durations.
