Statistical modelling optimisation of cellulase enzyme immobilisation on functionalised multi-walled carbon nanotubes for empty fruit bunches degradation

Cellulase obtained from the fermentation of sewage treatment plant sludge (STP) by Trichoderma-reesei RUT C-30 was covalently immobilised on functionalised multi-wall carbon nanotubes. Statistical optimisation using the Plackett–Burman design method was implemented to identify parameters with signif...
