AbstractThe effect of the biomass presence on the overall circulation velocity, the linear velocities both in the riser and the downcomer and the overall gas hold-up was studied in a three-phase internal loop airlift reactor (ILALR). The measured data were compared with those obtained using a two-phase system (air—water). All experiments were carried out in a 40 dm3 ILALR at six different biomass concentrations (ranging from 0 g dm−3 to 7.5 g dm−3), at a temperature of 30°C, under atmospheric pressure. Air and water were used as the gas and liquid model media, respectively. Pellets of Aspergillus niger produced during the fermentation of glucose to gluconic acid in the ILALR were considered solid phase. In addition, liquid velocities were measured during the fermentation of glucose to gluconic acid using Aspergillus niger. All measurements were performed in a bubble circulation regime. At given experimental conditions the effect of the biomass on the circulation velocities in the ILALR was negligible. However, increasing of the biomass concentration led to lower values of the total gas hold-up.

Abstract p 1424, Table 2, "units/liter" should read "milliunits/ liter." In reference to the article by Meites, S., and Saniel-Banrey, K., Clin. Chem. 19, 308 (1973), the authors wish to make the following clarification: The glucose oxidase used was purified from Aspergillus niger, and obtained from Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo. 63178. It contained 1.5 EU/mg. One unit (EU) will oxidize 1 µmol of glucose to gluconic acid and H2O2 per minute at pH 5.1 at 35 °C. The peroxidase used was horseradish peroxidase and was obtained from Sigma Chemical Co. as Type II (RZ 1.0-1.5), approximately 100-150 Purpurogallin (20-s) Units/mg, or as Worthington "Peroxidase D," 626 U/mg (RZ > 1), Worthington Biochemical Corp., Freehold, N.J. 07728.
