## 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 convers
The kinetic equations relating to the hydroxymethylation stage in base-catalyzed phenol-formaldehyde condensation have been developed as functions of the free phenol concentration. The same kinetic model was applied to the calculation of a continuous process carried out in a cascade of stirred tank
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Naphthenic acids are carboxylic acid compounds of oil sands wastewaters that contribute to aquatic toxicity. Biodegradation kinetics of an individual naphthenic acid compound in two types of continuousβflow bioreactors were investigated as a means of improving remediatio
