Abstract
A bifunctional enzymatic catalyst system may be optimally distributed along a plug flow tubular reactor to reduce trace contamination. For the system considered in this study, there are nine possible optimal catalyst distribution policies, depending on the magnitude of the initial concentrations, the relative oxidizing power of the contaminants, and the residence time in the reactor. The effects of these system parameters on the optimal distribution policies are discussed, as is the possibility of replacing the optimal policies with suboptimal decisions. The relative errors caused by the suboptimal policies are found to be insignificant in many cases, but the approximations may not do as well if the oxidizing contaminants have relatively very different effects.
