Abstract

The rheological properties in high-solid and multi-phase system are different from that of ordinary fluids because of the high solid content. Thus, there is new requirement for solid-state reactor and large-scale solid materials conveyor devices. In this chapter, the rheological characteristics of high-solid enzymatic hydrolysis system were analyzed and the transfer and seepage laws in the porous solid medium were revealed. Agitation and intensification methods for the high-solid and multi-phase system were also studied. Based on the above, the high-solid and multi-phase reactor and corresponding large-scale conveyor devices were developed, and prospect for the engineering application and development direction of the high-solid and multi-phase bioprocess in the future were provided.
