Developments and Applications in Enzyme Activated Membrane Reactors

Abstract

Enzyme immobilization has been significant in applying polymer membranes to prevent biofouling or to create catalytic reactions. So far, several modification methods have been employed for modifying surface of membranes. Among these methods, enzyme immobilization on polymeric membranes have gained much attention. Enzymes can be immobilized either via physical or chemical methods. This review summarizes the recent literature on modification of polymer membranes using various immobilization techniques.

Keywords
