Two inorganic solids have been evaluated as supports of Lipozyme RM IM, a Rhizomucor miehei lipase immobilized on a macroporous anion exchange resin, in order to improve its application as a biocatalyst in the synthesis of biofuels. The experimental conditions have been optimized to get the selective transesterification of sunflower oil, by using a multi-factorial design based on the response surface methodology (RSM). In this way, the effects of several reaction parameters on the selective ethanolysis of triglycerides to produce Ecodiesel, a biodiesel-like biofuel constitute by one mole of monoglyceride (MG) and two moles of fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE), have been evaluated. Thus, it was obtained that a 6:1 oil/ethanol molar ratio, 0.215 g of biocatalyst supported in silica-gel (0.015 g Lipase/0.2 g silica-gel), 50 µL of 10 N NaOH, together with previous optimized reaction parameters, 35 °C reaction temperature and 120 min of reaction time, gave the best results (conversions around 70%; selectivity around 65%; kinematic viscosities about 9.3 mm2/s) in the reaction studied. Besides, Lipozyme RM IM, supported on silica-gel, biocatalyst exhibited a very good stability, remaining its activity even after 15 cycles.

Abstract Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to model and optimize the immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B catalysed synthesis of butyl-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate. To determine optimum conditions of the transesterification, a four-factor and five-level central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was used. The factors studied were enzyme load (A), reaction temperature (B), methyl-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate concentration (C) and n-butanol concentration (D). A quadratic polynomial regression model was used to analyze the experimental data at a 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). The results indicated that the RSM approach gave reasonable results for the optimization of the reaction parameters in the range of tested parameters. The optimal conditions for the enzymatic reaction were obtained at 0.01 mol of methyl-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate and 0.03 mol of n-butanol using 104 mg of Novozym 435 at 55 °C and 300 rpm for 6 h. Under these conditions, the transesterification percentage was 87 %. Further, kinetic modelling of the enzymatic synthesis was illustrated. Initial rate data and progress curve data were used to arrive at a suitable model. The kinetics was found to obey the ternary complex ordered bi-bi model with inhibition by the substrate methyl-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate. The values of kinetic parameters obtained from nonlinear regression analysis were found to be Vmax of 0.04 mol/L.min; Km(A) 0.11 mol/L; Km(B) 2 mol/L and Ki(A) 2.2 mol/L.
