Abstract: The complexities of heterogeneous biocatalysis are compounded under circumstances in which transport phenomena govern the overall rate process. A fixed bed reactor model using immobilized enzymes incorporating external and internal diffusion and axial dispersion has been developed. Based on those equations, computer simulations of continuous reactor operation were performed. The influence of internal and external diffusion was tested.
