Abstract: To improve the enzyme activity and reusability, a new soluble, easy separated carrier was made to immolize cellulase. The immobilized cellulase based on polyvinyl alcohol/Fe2O3 nanoparticles was prepared with cyclic freezing thawing process. Analytic data from TEM, IR and VSM detection suggest that the average diameters of immobilized cellulase complexs were 1 μm, which contained about 10 nm Fe2O3 naoparticle. The factors affecting the activities of immobilized cellulase were researched. The activity retention of immobilized cellulase was achieved as 42% under the optimum conditions: pH=6.0, mass ratio of cellulase to PVA is equal to 4, mass ratio of PVA to Fe is equal to 50, 11 h for immobilization. The immobilized cellulase exhibited greater efficiency than free one and retained 50% relative activity after five times of cycled reuse, which indicates that this novel method of immobilization could be propitious to cellulase reuse and efficiency improvement.

Key words: Cellulase, Immobilizatoin, Polyvinyl alcohol, Fe2O3 naoparticle
