Role of biocatalysis in sustainable chemistry

Roger A. Sheldon and John M. Woodley

Chem. Rev., 2018, 118(2), pp. 801-838.

A comprehensive review of biocatalysis covering how the recent advances in engineering of enzymes, substrates, media and reactor design contribute to a sustainable chemistry development. The authors wrote that SpinChem® RBR technology “combines the advantages of a stirred tank with those of a packed bed” thus giving benefits by “circumventing mechanical attrition of the biocatalyst” while “mass transfer is greatly accelerated”.
