Notes:
Urease was bound to commercially available nonwoven nylon fabric filters. Multilyer immoibilized-enzyme filter reactors were constructed by packing varying numbers of urease-nylon filters in a column. Owing to the relatively open structure and high mechanical strength of the filter fabric, compaction and pressure drop effects were minimal. The reactors could be operated in a wide range of substrate concentrations and flow rates under conditions where mass-transfer limitations could be neglected. The kinetic behavior of the immobilized-enzyme filter reactors could be described by a linear form of the integrated Michaelis-Menten equation using a model based on the sequential action of the enzyme filters.
