Enzyme reaction kinetics and reactor performance / F. Xavier Malcata, Instituto Exterior da Circunvala, Matosinhos, Portugal

"Enzymes are highly efficient catalysts, derived from biological sources. They have a number of advantages over conventional chemical catalysts, most notably their specificity and selectivity. Many important industrial processes involve the use of freely dissolved enzymes in solution, e.g. proteases are particularly important for their use in food processing, the leather industry, and detergents. Enzymes are also used in brewing, baking, and in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. An enzyme reactor consists of a vessel, or series of vessels, used to perform a desired conversion by enzymic means. There are several different types of reactors -- stirred tank, membrane reactors, and continuous flow reactors. Various important factors determine the choice of reactor for a particular process. Comprehensive mathematical modeling is an essential element in the characterization and design of any enzyme reactor"--.
