ANNOTATION

Discusses enzyme catalysis, microbial growth, transport processes, microbial interactions, bioproducts.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

This outstanding single-source text presents comprehensive coverage of modern biochemical engineering - detailing the basic concepts underlying the behavior of bioprocesses as well as recent advances in bioprocess and biochemical engineering science. Demonstrating how to use important parameters and design equations in practice, Biochemical Engineering includes in-depth discussions of topics such as enzyme kinetics and biocatalysis, microbial growth and product formation, bioreactor design, transport in bioreactors, bioproduct recovery, and bioprocess economics and design...examines the general properties and kinetics of enzymes in solution...reviews currently available methods for immobilizing enzymes and whole cells...considers both well-mixed continuous stirred tank reactors and plug-flow or tubular reactors...investigates the rheological behavior of biological systems...analyzes critical interactions found in microbial systems...surveys the broad classes of manufactured products...offers worked-out example problems, end-of-chapter exercises, helpful definitions of nomenclature, a useful key-word index, valuable course outlines, and a timesaving solutions manual (available only to instructors)...and more.

FROM THE CRITICS

Juan Hong

An excellent book for graduate courses.

A. Margaritis

an excellent book that combines both theoretical and applied aspects of Biochemical Engineering. I plan to use it as a required textbook in three undergraduate and one graduate course.

Horacio A. Duarte

a very good textbook.

Duane F. Bruley

a well-written textbook...that will be very effective for classroom teaching.

Michael J. Betenbaugh

comprehensive and covers many of the fundamental aspects of biochemical engineering in depth. By leaving biology concepts to other texts, Blanch and Clark provide more text space to chemical engineering material. The book is especially useful in the areas of enzyme catalysis and separations, not surprising since these are the specialties of the authors.
