Biochar: Characterization and Applications in Enzyme Technology

Description

This book introduces the research on enzyme immobilization using biochar prepared from biomass by a low-cost and environmentally-benign process to develop the high-value-added application of biomass in biotechnology. This book is divided into eight sections: Introduction, Preparation and characterization of biochar, Adsorption of enzymes on biochar, Activity of enzymes adsorbed on biochar, Heat stress tolerance of enzymes adsorbed on biochar, Organic solvent stress tolerance of enzymes adsorbed on biochar, Experimental and Conclusions. This book should help the development of biotechnology, which is indispensable for realizing a sustainable society while growing the economy, by breaking away from the fossil resource-based society and economy.
