Answer to Question #199335 in General Chemistry for imelda

Question

The bioconversion of glucose to ethanol is carriedout in a packed-bed, immobilized cell bio-reactor containing yeast cells entrapped in Ca-alginate beads. The rate-limitingsubstrateis glucose, and its concentration in the feedbulkliquidphase is S oi = 5g/l. The nutrientflowrateis F = 2L/min. The particlesize of Ca-alginate bead

Answer 1

The principle of gelation or cross-linking of sodium alginate with calcium chloride is based on the formation of tight junction between the guluronic acid residues
