Modelling the Biokinetics of Urease Sorption in the Fluidized Bed Reactor

Abstract

The model equation for the sorption of urease in a fluidized bed reactor was developed taking into consideration gradient and temperature gradient across the bed height. The ordinary differential equation obtained was simulated using MATLAB (7.9.0 4D) and it was observed that concentration gradient changes across the bed. Urease Test determine the ability of microorganisms to degrade urea by means of the enzyme urease. The equation for the modelling of the Biokinetics of urease sorption using fluidized bed reactor was used to study the effects of both the concentration and temperature of the urease in the bed of reactor height. The obtained differential equation was simulated using MATLAB (7.9.0 4D) and it was observed that the concentration of urease and temperature changes across the bed. Finally, the results obtained reveals the usefulness of MATLAB – 7.9.0 4D computer programme language for monitor, predicting and simulation of biokinetics model for urease sorption in a fluidized bed reactor.
