Samenvatting:

The second edition of Theory and Design of Enzymatic and Fermentation Processes covers the kinetics and design of enzymatic and fermentation processes both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. It discusses microorganism biochemistry and metabolism concisely, and covers process design, oxygen and heat transfer and scale-up/scale-down topics systematically. The book includes over a hundred solved examples, questions and problems.

Features:

• Provides exclusive coverage of enzyme kinetics.
• Discusses pertinent aspects of the fermentation process, including kinetics, stoichiometry, mass balances and oxygen transfer.
• Explores oxygen transfer theory and its application to fermentation processes.
• Reviews stoichiometry and kinetics of fermentation processes.
• Includes computer simulations, homework problems, examples, PowerPoint slides and solutions manual.

This book can be a useful resource as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering, as well as for process engineers working with enzymatic and fermentation reactions.
