Cellulase was immobilized on silica to improve its efficiency in breaking down sugarcane bagasse for bioethanol production. The researchers found that the best conditions for this process were a contact time of 15 minutes and an agitation speed of 100 rpm. The immobilized cellulase remained effective after repeated use, with only a slight decrease in activity in subsequent cycles. This study shows that immobilized cellulase in silica is a promising method for converting sugarcane bagasse into bioethanol.
