Enhanced Oxygen Mass Transfer in Mixing Bioreactor Using Silica Microparticles

This work aimed to improve the oxygen transfer mass coefficient (k<sub>L</sub>a) in mixing reactors, first evaluating the effect of agitation and aeration and then evaluating the influence of the size and concentration of silica microparticles. Silicon dioxide synthesized via the sol-gel...
