Geranyl acetate synthesis in a packed-bed reactor catalyzed by novozym in supercritical carbon dioxide and in supercritical ethane

The esterification reaction of geraniol with acetic acid (100 mM/100 mM) catalyzed by immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (Novozym 435) was studied in supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) and in sc-ethane in a packed-bed reactor (PBR). In sc-CO2 it was easy to adjust the water activity (aw) in...
