Notes:
Hydrolyses of olive oil were performed in a reactor with lipase immobilized on a laboratory ultrafiltration poliamide-6 membrane. The reactor consisted of two circulating phases of olive oil and buffer solution. For the characterization of the reactor performance, a model of the hydrolysis process was developed. It was created by means of thermodynamic network representation of both the chemical processes and the transport of the reactants. According to an estimated bond graph network, the model is represented quantatively by a set of thirty-three differential equations representing the time derivatives of the particular species concentration. The parameters of the model were estimated based on experimental data and/or literature notations. Close agreement of numerical estimations of the product concentrations with experimental data was gained. The model enabled an extended analysis of the influence of different reaction parameters, enzyme inhibition and concentration of the reactants on reactor performance.
