Abstract:
An internal airlift loop biorector with cells immobilized onto ceramic honeycomb support(IALBR-CICHS) was developed based on the bubble columns(BC) and airlift(AL) bioreactor by installing a ceramic honeycomb support in the draught tube. Their hydrodynamics were respectively studied by the tracer element to determine their retention time distribution (RTD). Experiment and theory analysis indicated that the IALBR-CICHS had more efficacious reactive volume rate(eta) and less short-circuit rate(lambda) for fluid flow compared with the BC and AL bioreactor.
