Title: Kinetics of alcohol fermentations carried out in rotating biological surface reactors

Abstract

This article aims at deriving kinetic models for the RBS reactor operating with and without cell porous support. Since derivation of the kinetic equations from the Monod model is very complex, an empirical derivation from experimental data of continuous alcohol fermentations is used in this work. 11 references.
