Notes:
The quasi-steady behavior of a continuous flow reactor in which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed by immobilized catalase is investigated. Under certain conditions, reactors involving such substrate-inhibited, self-poisoning reactions are susceptible to suddne failure and the reactor moves catastrophically from high- to low-conversion quasi-steady states. This exchange-of-steady-states phenomenon is ex-amined in the light of experimental evidence for the enzyme catalase from bovine liver. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
