The presence of surface hydrocarbon chains increased the operational stability of the biocatalysts supported on Purolite® and superparamagnetic particles up to 9 and 2 times, respectively. By contrast, the presence of functional groups had no effect on the initial transesterification rate, which was twice higher with the lipase immobilised onto Purolite®. Also, functionalising Purolite® with epoxide and octadecyl groups led to the highest biodiesel and volumetric productivity. This biocatalyst with other substrates including makauba, jatropha, waste cooking oil, and microbial oil, led to similar initial reaction rates. However, simply raising substrate acidity from 0.5 to 2% increased the operational stability of the biocatalysts 15 times. A synergistic effect between acyl-acceptor concentration and substrate acidity was observed. The transesterification reaction was successfully scaled up to 50 mL.
