    Model based development of continuous processes for production of chiral glycol ethers by biocatalysis
    (2008) Berendsen, Wouter Robert; Reuss, Matthias (Prof. Dr.-Ing. )
    As part of the BMBF funding initiative "sustainable bioproduction", the work reported in this thesis was performed with the goal to reduce the time to market for biocatalytic processes. For this purpose, three kinetic resolutions catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B are investigated from a process engineering point of view. A combination of modeling, simulation and miniplant technology is applied to mimic technical operation at the smallest scale. The work deals with kinetic studies, pervaporation and biocatalysis in a fixed bed reactor. On top of this, the sustainability of the three reaction alternatives was analyzed.
