商品簡介
Bioreactors for Health and Sustainability describes the basic concepts of chemical and biochemical kinetics, chemical reaction engineering, reactors design, ideal reactors, homogeneous and heterogeneous reactors. The book brings together in a single source the most significant types of reactors that use molecular (enzymes) and cells biocatalysts for biological applications, which range from enzyme reactors, microbial reactors, plant cell culture and reactors, photobioreactors, cell reactors, reactors for stem cell culture, reactors for tissue and organ engineering, microbioreactors, reactors for cellular agriculture products, to bioreactors for waste-water treatment. It elaborates on bioreactors from molecular level enzymes, to microbial, plant, animal and human cells and tissue and organs, and provides sustainable applications in industrial, environmental and health sectors. As such the book bridges the gap between the Engineering Sciences and Technology and Health Sciences areas. Bioreactors for Health and Sustainability brings a novel contribution to biotechnology that is based on the upstream of a biological process, which makes it of broad interest for professionals, researchers, and students in biological/biochemical engineering and bioengineering.
