Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering. ISSN 1615-7605. 11:1 (1994) 23-28http://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/6791The balance equations pertaining to the modelling of batch reactors performing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in the presence of enzyme deactivation are developed. The functional form of the solution for the general situation where both the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction and the rate of enzyme deactivation are dependent on the substrate concentration is obtained, as well as the condition that applies if a maximum conversion of substrate is sought. Finally, two examples of practical interest are explored to emphasize the usefulness of the analysis presented.engjournal article10.1007/BF003696110028222454A1994NT60400004
