Fed-Batch Cultures - Henry C Lim

. .

Résumé :
This first book dealing exclusively with every aspect of fed-batch operations, used in most industrially important fermentation and bioreactor operations.

Sommaire:
1. Introduction to fed-batch bioreactors; 2. Idealised reactors and fed-batch reactors; 3. Maximisation of reaction rates and fed-batch operation; 4. Phenomena that favour fed-batch operations; 5. Classification and characteristics of fed-batch cultures; 6. Models based on mass balance equations; 7. Non-equation-based models; 8. Experimental determination of specific rates; 9. Optimization via Pontryagin's maximum principle; 10. Computational techniques; 11. Optimization of single and multiple isothermal reactions; 12. Optimization of fed-batch cultures for cell mass production; 13. Optimization of fed-batch cultures for metabolites; 14. Simple, intuitive adaptive optimization; 15. Measurements, estimation and control; 16. Feasibility assessment and implementable feed rates.
