| dc.description.abstract | Given the thermodynamic and kinetic limitations which often constrain the extent of chemical reactions and post-reactional separation processes, and therefore constrain the yield and the degree of purity of the resulting products, integration of reaction and separation in a single unit has been under the scope of several bioengineering researchers in recent years. It is the aim of this work to compare the performance of a cascade of N reactor/separator sets, either in series or in parallel, with that of an integrated reaction/separation unit. In order to do so, a Michaelis-Menten reaction in dilute substrate solutions (i.e. a pseudo ®rst order reaction) was considered to take place in either con®guration and, under the same reaction and separation conditions, comparison of the performance and ef®ciency of these con®gurations was made in terms of fractional recovery of pure product, total time required to achieve such recovery and rate of recovery. It was concluded that: (i) the series combination of reactor/separator sets yields better results, both in terms of fractional amount of product recovered and time required to do so, than the parallel combination; and (ii) the integrated approach is much more time- and cost-effective than plain cascading, thus making it very attractive from an economic point of view. | por |
