Abstract

Optimal feed temperature was determined for a non-isothermal fixed-bed reactor performing hydrogen peroxide decomposition by immobilized Terminox Ultra catalase. This feed temperature was obtained by maximizing the average substrate conversion under constant feed flow rate and temperature constraints. In calculations, convection–diffusion–reaction immobilized enzyme fixed-bed reactor described by a set of partial differential equations accounting for parallel and thermal deactivation was taken into account and based on kinetic, hydrodynamic and mass transfer parameters previously obtained in the process of decomposition. The simulation showed the optimal feed temperature to be strongly dependent on hydrogen peroxide concentration, feed flow rate and diffusional resistances expressed by biocatalyst effectiveness factor. It has been shown that the more significant diffusional resistance and the higher hydrogen peroxide conversions are, the higher the optimal feed temperature is.
