Resumen:
ABSTRACT
The stability of Novozym 435 in the esterification of ibuprofen using ethanol as
reactant and solvent was investigated. Additionally, the surface interaction of the
isomers of ibuprofen and ethanol with the biocatalyst was screened through
conventional adsorption isotherms and temperature programmed surface reaction
(TPSR). These investigations evidenced strong alcohol adsorption and dissolution
of the biocatalyst which explains its deactivation upon reuses in the esterification
reaction.
