By using the following linearised form for an integrated Michaelis-Menten equation Et/V0X=α+β| In (1-X)/X| where α and β are reaction kinetic parameters, good correlations are obtained of α and β with linear velocity across the reactor, substrate concentration and temperature of operation. A process to determine α and β from initial velocity measurements is outlined. The applicability of the above equation to published data is also analysed.","PeriodicalId":9298,"journal":{"name":"British Polymer Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86889072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The particular system used was the enzymatic hydrolysis of penicillin to 6-aminopenicillanic acid, but the model can be utilised with other batch systems, provided that decay of the immobilised enzyme preparation is described by the exponential decay model. The model developed is eminently practical and simple, and several examples of its application are given. Experimental data obtained in a small pilot plant batch recirculated reactor could, on average, be well fitted by this model.","PeriodicalId":9298,"journal":{"name":"British Polymer Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83937781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gel contents show that crosslink enhancement is considerably greater if the sample is highly annealed (PPA) than if it is quenched (PPQ). For PPA, thermal analysis suggests only minor damage to the crystalline lamellae, but significant stabilisation of lamellae by crosslink formation in the lamellar surface regions. This is supported by an increased resistance to the yielding process observed in tensile stress/strain and creep tests. The effects in PPQ is less.","PeriodicalId":9298,"journal":{"name":"British Polymer Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75317965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
