Abstract
The catalytic activity of amyloglucosidase covalently attached to DEAEβcellulose was studied in a packed bed reactor and a continuous feed stirred tank reactor (CSTR) for the reaction maltose β glucose. At low flow rates massβtransfer limitations in the bed reactor lead to lower conversions for this reactor compared to the CSTR. Simple theoretical expressions for these reactors were compared with the experimental results. There are significant differences between the kinetic parameters and pH profile of the immobilized and free enzyme. The immobilized enzyme also showed greater stability at 50Β°C than did free amyloglucosidase. The temperature dependence of the reaction rate was the same for immobilized and free enzyme.

evaluate ~0 . 5 . This may not be possible with some of the poorer drag reducing polymers. For example, guar gum in water was studied (6) at concentrations up to 100 ppm
The stability characteristics of an aerosol reactor in a continuous stirred tank configuration have been investigated theoretically. Three dimensionless parameters, the surface tension group C, reaction rate group R, and residence time group O,, suffice to determine the dynamic behavior of this syst
