Biochar: Characterization and Applications in Enzyme Technology

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...
