Document Summary
Application of chemical engineering principles on systems with biocatalysts. Bioreaction engineering: enzymatic conversion, microbial fermentation, animal/plant culture. Biochemical engineering requires life science and chemical engineering knowledge. Biofuels: ethanol, butanol, biodiesel, hydrogen, bio gas. Environmental solutions: wastewater treatment, landfills, biomediation of contaminated soil/water. Minerals: microbial leaching for production of copper and uranium. Enzymes (biocatalyst): for industrial use: amylase, lipase, proteinase , for research use: dna polymerase, rna polymerase, reaction enzymes, for therapies: endolysins, analytical kits. Fine chemicals: organic acids: citric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid , amino acids: msg, lysine , organic solvents: ethanol, acetone . Unique product only produced by biological systems: enzymes, biopharmaceuticals: antibiotics, antibodies, vaccines . Biochemical process are more cost effective: e. g. Production of insulin: citric acid from fermentation, vitamin c from fermentation. Biological solution as an ultimate solution: biotreatment of wastewater and solid wastes, biomediation of oil contaminated soil and water, bioplastics (bio degradable, biofuels e. g. insulin:
