L OUISIANA T ECH U NIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & SCIENCE Accomplishments QCM and Zeta potential confirm LbL immobilization is effective Free enzyme batch reactor data for benchmark (one commercial enzyme MUCH more active than others tested) Immobilized enzyme batch reactor data Pre-treatment methods (base, acid, ultrasound) – very big impact on conversion!

L OUISIANA T ECH U NIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & SCIENCE Immobilized enzyme is lower than “free” enzyme; this is expected, savings calculated assumed 10x less activity!
