Abstract: Compared to immobilized lipase, free lipase has the merits of lower cost and faster reaction rate, which is a rising research orientation in oil chemical industry. The previous study showed that free lipase NS81006 is capable of efficiently hydrolyzing oil to fatty acids. Further study on its unique hydrolysis process of castor oil, an environmentally friendly hydroxyl oil, is of great importance for its application in new energy. By means of optimizing the main influence factors of the castor oil hydrolysis catalyzed by NS81006 involving temperature, enzyme dosage, water usage, and stirring speed, 98.4% degree of hydrolysis was achieved under the optimum conditions at 48 h. The free lipase could be reused after centrifugation and maintained high catalytic efficiency in 5 consecutive recovery batches. It was also found that enzyme catalysis has obvious advantage in castor oil hydrolyzation compared with HTHP.
