Denitrifying bacteria are immobilised in gel beads and
used in a stirred reactor for removal of nitrate from groundwater. At a nitrate
concentration of 3 g m -3, the conversion rate is 0.011 g s-1 m-3
catalyst. The effective diffusivity of nitrate in the gel is 1.5 × 10 -9
m 2 s-1, the beads are 6 mm in diameter, and the
liquid-solid mass-transfer coefficient is 10 -5 m s-1. Km
for the immobilised bacteria is approximately 25 g m -3. Calculate
the observable Thiele modulus with CAs = 1.9 g m -3

The chemical reaction equation for conversion of ethanol (C2H60) to acetic acid (C2H402) is:
Acetic acid is produced from ethanol during growth of Acetobacter aceti, which has the composition CH1.800.5N0.2. Biomass yield from substrate is 0.14 g g- 1; product yield from substrate is 0.92 g g-1. Ammonia is used as nitrogen source. How much gmol of oxygen is demanded for acetic acid production?
