Abstract

For numerical solution of the reaction-mass transfer equations for immobilised biocatalysts it may be better to start integration at the particle surface and proceed inwards: calculations are targetted on the region to which practically interesting changes are often confined (because concentrations are effectively zero in the interior); and during iterative solution wrong initial estimates may be rejected after detecting anomalies early in the integration.
