Advances in Biocatalysis and its Application in Chemical Engineering

Abstract

Biocatalysis has emerged as a powerful and sustainable alternative to traditional chemical processes, offering advantages such as high specificity, mild reaction conditions, and minimal environmental impact. Advances in biocatalysis have led to new applications in chemical engineering, including the production of biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. This article explores the recent developments in biocatalysis, focusing on the advances in enzyme engineering, enzyme immobilization, and the integration of biocatalysis into industrial-scale processes. The paper also discusses the challenges and future prospects of biocatalysis in chemical engineering, highlighting its potential for contributing to a more sustainable chemical industry.
