Immobilized Enzyme Reactors. Diffusion/Convection, Kinetics, and a Comparison of Packed-Column and Rotating Bioreactors for Use in Continuous-Flow Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The roles of chemical kinetics and mass transfer in two types of bioreactors (packed-column reactors and rotating disk bioreactors), used with continuous-flow sample/ reagent(s) processing, are discussed in detail. A normalized quantitative comparison between these types of reactors clearly shows that rotating disk reactors afford a significantly more efficient utilization of immobilized active sites and permit the effective utilization of very small amounts of biocatalysts. Glucose oxidation by dissolved oxygen, catalyzed by immobilized glucose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.4), was used as a chemical model. The H2O2 product of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction was detected at a platinum working electrode for quantitation of the data.

Hydrogen sulfide removal from biogas using chemical absorption technique in packed column reactors
The toxicity and corrosion potential of hydrogen sulfide in raw biogas underlines the need for biogas purification. Several techniques available for removal of hydrogen sulfide from biogas are out of the reach for common end users due to lack of knowledge, higher running costs, and insufficient operational skills. The present experimental study aims to propagate hydrogen sulfide removal techniq...

The synthesis of citronellyl butyrate by direct esterification reaction catalyzed by immobilized lipase from Candida rugosa was studied in a continuous packed bed reactor using n-hexane as organic solvent. Parameters such as residence time, temperature, and pH were examined. The optimum conversion was obtained at a flow rate of 1 ml/min (residence time 8 min), temperature of 50 °C, and pH 7.5. ...

متن کاملFree convective heat and mass transfer of magnetic bio-convective flow caused by a rotating cone and plate in the presence of nonlinear thermal radiation and cross diffusion
This article explores the heat and mass transfer behaviour of magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow past a permeable vertical rotating cone and a plate filled with gyrotactic microorganisms in the presence of nonlinear thermal radiation, thermo diffusion and diffusion thermo effects. We presented dual solutions for the flow over a rotating cone and a rotating flat plate cases. Similarity var...
