Biolubricant production by Novozym 435-catalyzed methanolysis of castor oil was studied in a fluidized-bed reactor operating in the batch recirculation mode. With 1 g of enzyme and a methanol-to-oil molar ratio of 6:1, the highest yield of methyl ester was obtained (99.6%) after 24 h at 40 degrees C and a 30 mL/min flow rate. The ping-pong bi-bi mechanistic model was used to treat the experimental data. Using non-linear regression analysis, a model with substrate inhibition by both methanol and castor oil gave the best fit, with kinetics constants V-max = 7.97 mmol/L min, K-m,K-oil = 90.07 mM, K-m,K-methanol = 733.27 mM, K-i,K-oil = 923.23 mM, and K-i,K-methanol = 317.11 mM. The K-m,K-oil value was indicative of the higher affinity of the lipase toward the oily substrate, and the castor oil was less inhibitory than methanol (K-i,K-methanol < K-i,K-oil). The reusability of Novozym 435 was also evaluated using repeated batch experiments, and no significant decreases in the methanolysis yields were observed after ten cycles. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
