What is the difference between biological enzymes and chemical catalysts?
Biological enzymes are an environmentally friendly biocatalyst with greater superiority. Such as the reaction speed, processing conditions (such as temperature, PH value, etc.) more moderate, safe and easy to control the operation and can replace the strong alkali and other chemicals. The biological enzymes act only on specific substrates, with little damage to the substrate and the biodegradation of the treated wastewater to reduce water and energy consumption. After more than a century of research by scientists, more than 3,000 known enzymes are generally considered. The application of biological enzymes in the textile industry, initially the application of α-amylase in cotton fabric desizing process, and later developed into the cellulase used in denim washing and bio-polishing process, and now the development of pectinase to the biological scouring Technology, hydrogen peroxide enzyme catalytic decomposition technology, protease in silk and wool fiber applications
The biological enzyme is a class of molecules with moderate molecular weight in the living cells. It is a natural macromolecule catalyst in nature because the enzyme and the reactants are more specific than the reaction of the catalyst with the chemical synthesis of the catalyst (1) High efficiency (2) selectivity good by-product less (3) mild reaction conditions and so on
Chemical catalysts are widely used, generally the majority of transition elements
Biological enzyme is a protein, according to the mild reaction conditions, high specificity, the advantages of strong catalytic capacity,
