Title: Recovery and reuse of cellulase catalyst in an exzymatic cellulose hydrolysis process

Abstract

A process for recovering cellulase from the hydrolysis of cellulose, and reusing it in subsequent hydrolyois procedures. The process utilizes a commercial adsorbent that efficiently removes cellulase from reaction products which can be easily removed by simple decantation.
