Who claimed that oxygen balance technique is suitable for only small-scale fermenters?

Cooper Humphrey Wang Taguchi

The unit of KLa is

cm^2

h^(-1)

cm^3

cm h^(-1)

Which of the following is the method of determinating KLa values?

Oxygen-balance technique

Sulphite oxidation technique

Static method of gassing out

Dynamic method of gassing in

The rate of oxygen transfer is described by the equation

dC{L}/dt = KLa (C* – C{L})

dC{L}/dt = KLa (C*)

dC{L}/dn = KLa (CL)

dC{L}/dn = KLa (C* – C{L})

The value C{rit} is an efficient value for oxygen concentration. True or false?

True

False

The oxygen balance technique is used for gas-gas transfer. True or false?

True

False
