Abstract: | An analytical model is developed to describe the performance of a packed-bed immobilized enzyme reactor in which parallel processes take place. In particular, two-substrate reaction, inhibition of the enzyme by one of the reaction products, and binding of one substrate and/or one product to an added ligand are taken into account. In addition, substrates and product diffusion into the porous catalyst are also considered. Using this model, numerical simulations were performed. The results point to the fact that, when all the above processes occur concomitantly, a variety of performance characteristics can be obtained, depending on the particular values of the related parameters. Moreover, under certain conditions, the reactor performance can be improved by controlled addition of ligand.List of Symbols
