Abstract

An enzyme kinetic model has been proposed to describe fermentation processes. This type of model was chosen because it is biologically sound, can incorporate all of the important engineering control variables, and can draw upon, in its development, the extensive kinetic literature. An intial qualitative test for this model was made on the gluconic acid fermentation. A necessary check of the model was that Monod's empirical cell growth and yield equations were derived as a special case. The model also offered an explanation for the hysteresis behavior of the gluconic acid production rate as a function of gluconolactone.

The conventional alcoholic fermentation is a typical inhibitory process, leading to low productivity and yield. The ethanol produced inhibits yeast cells, causing a reduction in the alcohol production rate and cell growth rate. In this work, modelling and simulation have shown that continuous extrac

## Abstract The kinetics of a detailed chemically reacting system can potentially be very complex. Although the chemist may be interested in only a few species, the reaction model almost always involves a much larger number of species. Some of those species are radicals, which are very reactive spe
