About the Book

Enzymatic Reactors: Design and Optimization delves into the performance analysis of enzyme reactors, starting from the simplest ideal reactors considered individually as single units, then progressing to combinations of multiple units. The book gradually improves the quality of modeling with contributions from nonideal hydrodynamics and mass transfer, eventually addressing interactions with separation and classical control of operation. It helps readers evolve their understanding of reactor concepts and extends their knowledge to overall reactor operation. The book covers three levels of description: macroscopic (ideal), microscopic (nonideal hydrodynamics and mass transfer), and submicroscopic (nonideal mixing). The quality of approximation increases with the complexity of mathematical models and experimental data. It explores ideal reactors, nontrivial flow patterns, multiphasic systems, and the mixing processes essential for optimizing enzyme reactor performance.

Table of Contents:
1. Ideal Reactors: single units 2. Ideal Reactors: multiple units 3. Nonideal Reactors: homogeneous with convection 4. Nonideal Reactors: homogeneous and heterogeneous with diffusion 5. Integration of Chemical Reaction with Physical Separation 6. Integration of Chemical Reaction with External Control

About the Author :
Prof. F. Xavier Malcata earned a B.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering by the College of Engineering of University of Porto (UP) – Porto (Portugal) in 1986 (with first class honors); a Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering (with a distributed minor in Food Science, Statistics and Biochemistry), by the University of Wisconsin (UW) – Madison (USA) in 1991; an equivalence Doctoral degree in Biotechnology – food science and technology, by the Portuguese Catholic University (UCP) – Porto (Portugal) in 1998; and a Habilitation degree in Food Science and Engineering, also by UCP, in 2004. Prof. Malcata held academic appointments as: Teaching Assistant at UCP in 1985-87 and at UW in 1988; Lecturer at UW in 1989; Assistant Professor at UCP in 1991-98; Associate Professor at UCP in 1998-2004; and Full Professor at UCP in 2004-2010, Superior Institute of Maia (ISMAI) – Maia (Portugal) in 2010-2012 and UP from 2012 on. He also held professional appointments as: Dean of the College of Biotechnology of UCP in 1998-2008; President of the Portuguese Society of Biotechnology in 2003-2008; Coordinator of the Northern Chapter of Chemical Engineering of the Portuguese Engineering Accreditation Board in 2004-2009; Official Delegate, in 2002-13, of the Portuguese Government to the VI and VII Framework Programs held by the European Union – in such key areas as Food quality and safety, and Food, agriculture (including fisheries) and biotechnology, respectively; Chief Executive Officer of the University/Industry Extension (non-profit) Associations AESBUC in 1998-2008 and INTERVIR+ in 2006-2008; and Chief Executive Officer of the Entrepreneurial Biotechnological Support Associations CiDEB in 2005-2008 and INOVAR&CRESCER in 2006-2008. Over the years, the author received numerous national and international public recognitions and awards. Among his many scientific interests, Prof. Malcata has focused his research chiefly on four major areas: theoretical simulation and optimization of enzyme reactors; theoretical optimization of thermodynamically- and kinetically-controlled processes; production and immobilization of oxidoreductases and hydrolases for industrial applications; and design and optimization of bioreactors to produce and process edible oils. To date, he has published more than 470 papers in peer reviewed international journals, he wrote 14 (single-authored) books and edited 5 (multi-authored) books.
