Strategy for the simulation of batch reactors when the enzyme-catalyzed reactio...
Description
The balance equations pertaining to the modelling of batch reactors performing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the presence of enzyme deactivation are developed. The functional form of the solution for the general situation where both the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction and the rate of enzyme deactivation are dependent on the substrate concentration is obtained, as well as the condition that applies if a maximum conversion of substrate is sought. Finally, two examples of practical interest are explored to emphasize the usefulness of the analysis presented.
