Notes:
The performance of a continuous vertical packed-bed reactor with yeast immobilized in carrageenan gel beads is reported. The study focuses on the mathematical modelling of the steady-state fermentor behavior by means of a tanks-in-series model which includes the intrinsic kinetic model and the external mass transfer and internal diffusion-reaction conditions in the beads.
