Both cellulase and cellobiase can be effectively recovered from hydrolyzed biomass using an ultrafiltration recovery method. Recovery of cellulase ranged from 60 to 66.6% and for cellobiase from 76.4 to 88%. Economic analysis shows that cost savings gained by enzyme recycling are sensitive to enzyme pricing and loading. At the demonstrated recovery of 60% and current loading of 15 Filter paper units of cellulase/g of glucan, enzyme recycling is expected to generate a cost savings of approx 15%. If recovery efficiency can be improved to 70%, the savings will increase to >25%, and at 90% recovery the savings will be 50%. Copyright © 2005 by Humana Press Inc.
