A novel microwave barrel reactor (MBR) was constructed and used in lipase catalyzed biolubricant synthesis. The MBR is thought as a versatile process tool for biotransformation and green chemistry that overcomes current size limitations in microwave reactors. A lipase mediated biotransformation in t...
