Nanomaterials For Bioreactors And Bioprocessing Applications

Nanomaterials are prominent in both the bioprocessing and catalytic industries. They play a vital role, from small- to large-scale bioreactors, in enhancing the catalytic efficiency of bioprocesses. This book explores the potential of nanomaterials in improving the efficiency of bioprocessing industries and next-generation bioreactors. In industry, nanomaterials assist the process intensification by several magnitudes. Microbial cells, biomolecules, and enzymes can be used in immobilized forms on various nanotextured surfaces, membranes, and particles. These make for easier product purification and the multiple reuse of biocatalysts. This book provides information on various newly synthesized nanomaterials in bioreactors, for scaling up the bioprocess to an industrial level, the criteria and properties of nanomaterials to be used in bioprocessing, advantages, challenges while using the nanomaterials, and the economic constraints. This book also discusses the fate of various nanomaterials in the bioprocess, the chances of product contamination and its prevention. This book is an important reference source for materials scientists and biomedical engineers information on the synthesized nanomaterials that are available for bioreactors and bioprocesses, and the various optimized conditions and precautions to be taken in their use
