Abstract
The effect of diffusional limitations on external mass transfer in connection with the use of immobilized biocatalysts has already been referred to in Sect. 3.6. External mass transfer is essential for the transport of the dissolved substances (substrate) to the immobilized biocatalysts. The further transport within the biocatalysts to the reaction site, which we call internal mass transport, cannot be directly influenced by the nature of the bioreactor.
