The document discusses using an enzyme as a homogeneous catalyst to degrade a harmful organic compound in industrial wastewater into harmless chemicals. Test results in a laboratory mixed-flow reactor are provided showing the relationship between initial and final concentrations of the organic compound and reaction time at different enzyme concentrations. The task is to treat 0.1 m3/min of wastewater with an initial organic concentration of 10 mmol/m3 to 90% conversion using this enzyme, and to determine the reactor arrangement that minimizes the total volume needed.

In the presence of a spesific enzyme E, which act as a

homogeneous catalyst, a harmful organic A present in


industrial waste water degrades into harmless
chemicals. At a given ezyme concentration CE test in a
laboratory mixed flow reactor give the following
results:

We wish to treat 0.1 m3/min of this waste water having


CA0 = 10 mmol/m3 to 90% conversion with this enzyme at
concentration CE.
One possibility is to use a long tubular reactor
(assume plug flow) with possible of exit fluid.
Another possibility is to use one or two stirred tanks
(ideal).
What arrangement of plug flow and mixed flow
reactors would you use to minimize the total volume of
reactors needed?
