Membrane phase contactor

In the membrane phase contactor, the rate of reagent mass transfer from organic phase (a reservoir) to water phase (a reaction phase) depends on the three different resistances: the organic phase resistance, the resistance generated by the membrane and the water phase resistance. In the case when th

The paper presents a model of the synthesis process of taste dipeptides carried out in a biphase water–organic phase system. An enzymatic conversion takes place within the aqueous phase where the enzyme is dissolved. The catalysis process is accompanied by the transport of reagents from/to the organ

Two concepts of the localisation of hydrolytic enzymes with the use of a membrane phase contactor are presented in the paper. Because of the participation of water molecules in the process, the enzyme should be immobilized so that it could be in contact with the aqueous phase. Thus, enzyme immobilis
