| Abstract/Summary |
Gas-liquid reaction carried out in an internal loop airlift reactor was modelled and subjected to the scale-up procedure. Homogeneous oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid catalyzed by Gluzyme 10000 BG, a commercial product containing the enzymes glucose oxidase and catalase as active components, was chosen as the model system. The kinetic parameters were obtained using a 12-L airlift reactor considered as a CSTR. The behaviour of a large-scale internal loop airlift reactor was modelled dividing the reactor sections into a series of tank reactors. The reliability of the model was verified by comparing experimental measurements with the simulation results obtained employing 40-L and 200-L airlift reactors. The designed model could be suitable to predict the behaviour of large-scale internal loop airlift reactors.
