About this document
Batch Reactor Operations and Kinetics by Hritik Lal is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses batch production of aspartic acid using cell-bound aspartase enzyme. It provides details of the reaction converting fumaric acid and ammonia to aspartic acid. The kinetics can be described by Michaelis-Menten equation with a Km of 4.0 g/L. The substrate solution contains 15% ammonium fumarate. The reaction is stopped when 85% of substrate is converted. Details of vmax and enzyme half-life at 32°C and 37°C are given to analyze the temperature effects.
