Abstract

The unsteady state behavior of an immobilized enzyme membrane reactor has been analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. The reacting system considered is sucrose hydrolysis by invertase (EC 3.2.1.26). Enzyme immobilization has been obtained by ultrafiltering co-cross-linked invertase through a cellulose acetate asymmetric membrane. On the basis of the proposed mathematical model, the steady state behavior of the system can be dealt with in terms of a continuous stirred tank reactor
