Fouling-induced enzyme immobilization for membrane reactors

- Fouling-induced enzyme immobilization in membranes is proposed.
- Two membrane orientations for enzyme immobilization are evaluated.
- Alcohol dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase are used to verify this concept.
- The enzymes immobilized in the membrane support layer retain most of their activity.
- The catalytically active membranes have high efficiency and recycling stability.
