Abstract

Bioreactors serve a central role in biotechnological processes by providing the link between starting materials and final products. In most biological systems, there are complex series of reactions that must be optimized and coordinated in a very specific environment. Despite the complexity of biocatalytic processes, there is usually a rate-limiting step controlling the reaction, as well as a few secondary limitations. These limitations provide the basis for process design and bioprocess equipment specifications. The EIMCO Slurry Bioreactor has been designed to overcome these limitations encountered during the bio-oxidation of refractory gold ores and concentrates and hazardous waste bioremediation.
