Abstract
For hydrolysis of amylose by β-amylase the effects of liquid flow rate, ultrafiltration flux and tube radius on the performance of a membrane reactor of two coaxial tubes were studied. The efficiency of separation of the product from the reacting stream in this reactor was improved by use of a small radius tube and by operation at a high ultrafiltration flux. The calculated results of the product concentration showed general agreement with the experimental results obtained with the membrane reactor.
